Changing Bad Habits through Hypnosis

By Rick Smith


Homo sapiens have constantly been creatures of habits and only a few of them are good for you. However you can rectify plenty of your unpleasant habits and replace them with good ones thru hypnosis or hypnotherapy.

There are numerous private continual obsessions and habit disorders such as over reacting, over eating, smoking, obsessive compulsive rituals, bruxism, tongue thrusting, skin picking, trichotillomania, fingernail chewing and thumb sucking or time wasting that've been successfully corrected and replaced by hypnosis.

How Hypnosis Corrects Unpleasant Habits

An example will help you understand how hypnosis works in this situation. Many of us have a bad habit of nibbling and piling on calories while watching TV and usually these folk are fat. Often these folk are so habituated to nibbling in front of the Television that they are not even consciously mindful of their actions. It is generally one factor that triggers another and eventually leads to the degeneration of your health.

Other examples that you can simply identify with are a cigarette and a cup of coffee or a tumbler of aerated sweet drink and fries along with your office lunch. Professional trained professionals use hypnosis to reprogram their patient's inner PC and free them from their old cycle of bad incessant patterns. Unhealthy, harmful habits are also replaced thru hypnosis and substituted with good ones.

Hypnotic Techniques and Tools for Beating Bad Habits

A number of these tools and systems include (but are not limited to) positive self empowerment recommendations, negative self talk redirection, mindfulness, positive memory revival, negative trigger desensitisation, inner child work, steered images, interactive self worth building, resource state discovery, habit replacement visualisation, post hypnotic idea, progressive relaxation, deep diaphragmatic centered respiring and cognitive investigation.

Hypnotherapy for Correcting Unacceptable Habits

Each patient is unique and so are his needs. So psychological fitness professionals have to invent customised hypnotherapeutic treatment plans for their different patients. But some elements are found across all hypnotherapeutic treatment plans which are noted below.

Firstly, the psychological well-being professional has to spot the causes and triggers of unpleasant habits as well as underlying issues, Problems and wishes. Then he has to look into the case history and negative effects and come up with a positive replacement behavior.

He will then set 1st goals for the patient that the latter will have to concentrate on. The hypnotist will also create a correct hypnotherapeutic strategy for his patient making use of special methods and tools already noted above. Then he is going to offer habit correction hypnosis and track the patient's progress. It usually takes at least three sessions to note any tangible improvement in the patient. If it is necessary, the hypnotist will again set new goals for the patient to work on.

He will also revise his method and implement it for the patient's welfare. And this cycle will continue until the patient is successfully able to break his old unpleasant habits and form new good habits. Hypnosis is also used to reinforce and consolidate new affirmative habits that replace the bad ones.
