Hypnotherapy for Problem Drinking in Newcastle & the North East
Alcohol can gradually become a bigger part of life than you intended. You may find yourself drinking more frequently, struggling to stop once you have started or relying on alcohol to relax, cope with stress or manage difficult emotions.
At Peaceful Minds in Newcastle, Sian Barnard provides professional hypnotherapy for problem drinking, helping you understand and change the thoughts, habits and emotional triggers associated with alcohol. CBT and psychotherapy techniques can also be incorporated where appropriate to support the changes you want to make.
Understanding Your Drinking Patterns
Problem drinking does not always look the same from one person to another. You may drink primarily in social situations, use alcohol to switch off after a stressful day or find that one or two drinks regularly turn into considerably more than you planned.
Over time, particular situations, emotions and routines can become strongly associated with drinking. Stress, boredom, anxiety, loneliness or simply reaching a particular time of day can begin to trigger the urge for alcohol.
You may also develop beliefs about needing alcohol to relax, feel confident, socialise or cope with difficult situations.
Hypnotherapy can help you explore these established patterns and begin changing your response to the situations and emotions that have become associated with drinking.
Using Hypnotherapy to Change Unwanted Drinking Habits
Sian uses clinical hypnotherapy to help you address the thoughts, associations and habitual responses that may be contributing to problem drinking.
Rather than relying entirely on willpower, hypnotherapy can help reinforce healthier choices and develop more constructive responses to situations in which you would previously have reached for alcohol.
CBT and psychotherapy techniques may also be incorporated to help you recognise triggers, challenge unhelpful beliefs about alcohol and develop alternative ways of coping with stress or difficult emotions.
The aim is to help you feel more in control of your decisions around alcohol and develop habits that better reflect the changes you want to make.
