Session Expectations

During a session, your hypnotherapist will begin by asking you to think of a situation or experience that you believe may have triggered your addiction. You may also be asked to tell when and why you began gambling, and when you think it became a problem.

A hypnotherapist will use different methods of treatment depending on the individual, their past experiences, their problem and their triggers. For instance, if your problem is as a result of past experiences, hypnosis will help you alter your thoughts and behaviours and also cope with it towards your recovery.

Duration of Treatment

The duration of treatment depends on an individual. You can discuss with your hypnotherapist of what you want to gain at the end of your sessions and the time that you think will be suitable.

You can increase your sessions if you and your hypnotherapist believe that the time you had was not enough. If self-hypnosis techniques are taught, then you can practice them at home to help you cope with potential triggers even after your sessions finish.
