Addiction - The chains that bind
The cure to addiction lies in the brain itself. The brain is a remarkable organ and scientists continue to discover it can change and adapt. Interestingly, research has shown that the damage caused by addiction begins to reverse itself quickly once the cycle of addiction is broken, providing hope of a speedy recovery from addiction .

What is alcohol addiction and am I addicted?
Alcohol addiction, also referred to as alcoholism affects a whole spectrum of people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. It is a real illness in that it changes the chemistry of your brains reward system, leading you to believe that you need alcohol in order to experience any kind of joy or satisfaction from life. The reality of the illness is that very little joy outside of drinking exists for the alcoholic.

So are you addicted to alcohol? There are many different signs or symptoms of alcoholism, below are just a few of the most common signs and symptoms:

Very high tolerance to alcohol, finding it difficult to get drunk
Drinking alcohol at unusual times of the day, first thing in the morning for example.
Drinking alone, being less sociable, maybe a change of friends, associating with other drinkers.
Increased low self-esteem and depression
Increase in frequency of drinking or strength of alcohol you’re drinking
Avoiding contact with loved ones.
Needing alcohol to function and go about your normal daily activities
Heavy and frequent alcohol use can be very damaging to our health. Here are just some of the problems that alcoholism can cause:

Stomach Ulcers
Liver Damage
Complications with Diabetes
Infertility
Birth defects, if alcohol is used during pregnancy
Suppressed Immune System
Problems with eye sight
Reduction in bone density
These are just a few of the most common problems along with the obvious increase in things like accidents due to being intoxicated. There is also a severely increased risk of suicides and mental health issues amongst alcoholics. To read what the NHS website says about alcohol addiction, please read here
Hypnotherapy/ Neurosciense can be a very successful approach to dealing with any kind of addiction. The reason for that is that it can help re-wire our brains association with drinking, so we see it for what it is.

Alcohol addiction is not easy to overcome, there will be set backs and struggles with any kind of recovery from addiction. The benefits of hypnotherapy are significant though as they address the very roots of the problem that caused you to drink in the first place, stress, depression, trauma, grief, divorce, low self- esteem etc.

By working on the very roots of the problem, we are learning coping strategies along with changing our perception of alcohol use, so effectively attacking the disease from every angle.

I have helped many people overcome alcoholism and if you’re suffering then please get in touch and let us start to make changes in your life.

Admitting that there’s a serious problem can be painful for the whole family, not just the alcohol dependent person. But don’t be ashamed. You’re not alone. Alcohol dependency affects millions of families, from every social class, race, and culture. But there is help and support available for both you and your loved ones.

Bipolar Disorder and Hypnotherapy
It can sometimes feel like you’re completely at the mercy of unpredictable, dramatic mood and energy changes.Life with bipolar disorder is a pretty major challenge. Everybody’s moods fluctuate but when you have ‘manic depression’ the highs and lows are so much higher and lower, with good moods where you feel like you rule the world and bad moods where you feel like the world has completely crushed you.
Typically, when those euphoric moods get going, you feel like you can do anything, like there cannot possibly be any bad consequences of what you do. You lose all sense of perspective and rational judgement, leading you to behave in ways which have disastrous results.
When the downward swing starts, it all heads off in the other direction. Everything is terrible and the whole world is against you and what’s the point of getting up in the morning, or indeed anything? Once again, you have lost your perspective.

Learning to read storm warnings

Although other people can see the signs of these moods coming on, and developing into full blown emotional hurricanes, it can seem as if there’s no way for you yourself to tell that it is happening and that it’s time to take preventive action.

But overwhelming and insurmountable though these patterns might feel, it is actually possible to get more control, to learn to spot the danger signals, and take action to avoid getting derailed – again.
The goal with hypnosis for bipolar disorder is to reduce the client’s stress levels and help them to focus on the positive aspects.

Eating disorders treatment with IntegrativeTherapy and Hypnotherapy

When left unchecked and not treated, it can cause severe health complications such as problems with growth and development, depression and anxiety, work and school issues, and even result in death in extreme cases. Fortunately, hypnotherapy and integrative treatment for eating disorders in Edgbaston, Birmingham has proven effective for many clients and allowed them to lead a healthy and successful life.

What is an eating disorder?
Eating disorders are a variety of serious psychological conditions that cause people to develop unhealthy eating habits and obsess over eating/ restricting food, maintaining body weight, or body shape. People who suffer from an eating disorder often experience negative emotions which hinder their ability to function properly in their life.



Typically, eating disorders develop during the adolescent or young adult years but people of any age can be affected by such a condition.

Types of eating disorders
There are several types of eating disorders and it is important to diagnose the type of eating disorder you suffer from correctly in order to receive the proper treatment. Here are the most common forms of eating disorders:



● Anorexia nervosa

● Binge eating disorder

● Bulimia nervosa

● Rumination disorder

● Pica

● Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)



You can also suffer from less common or less-known eating disorders such as the following:



● Night eating syndrome

● Purging disorder

● Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED)

Symptoms of eating disorders
Most people who suffer from an eating disorder may not even notice the symptoms of it or think that it is okay to engage in unhealthy eating habits. However, this only exacerbates the problems and causes you to spiral down unhealthy eating patterns. Thus, it is important to notice the signs of unhealthy eating behaviour as early as possible.



Here are the common symptoms of eating disorders:



● Excessive eating/Binge

● Eating in secret

● Adopting an overly restrictive diet

● Use of dietary supplements, herbal products, and laxatives for weight loss

● Skipping meals

● Frequent eating or repeatedly eating large quantities of high-fat or sugary food

● Leaving during meals to use the toilet

● Vomiting

Over Exercising

● Expressing shame, guilt, depression, or disgust about eating habits

The causes of eating disorders
Since eating disorders are an illness it is difficult to understand their exact causes. However, the most likely causes include psychological and emotional health problems, genetic factors, and biological factors such as changes in the brain chemicals.



People who have a family history of any kind of eating disorder or suffer from other mental health disorders are at an increased risk of developing an eating disorder. Uncontrolled dieting and starvation and too much stress can also increase the risk of you developing an eating disorder.

Emotional issues are processed using a combination of various techniques including ; Hypnotherapy, E.M.D.R , N.L.P and Gestalt Therapy and Neuroscience programmes , This combination of therapies addresses the very root cause as well as enabling clients to learn to take back control of their eating issue .
