How does addiction happen?

Generally, and addictions happen when a person starts to escape or run away from their stressful and emotional issues and thus, find a distractor to cope. Furthermore, people who have been addicted to one negative habit are more susceptible to become addicted to another. For example, when a person manages to stop smoking, he or she may turn to eating to fill the emotional void left behind.

For some, the addiction happens very quickly while for others, it happens slowly over the years. Usually when that happens, it leads the person to a sense of euphoria, subsequently leading the person to keep searching for the same feeling of euphoria. This "high" feeling sends biochemicals to the brain which in turn sends signals to other parts of the body giving the illusion of happiness.

When it happens enough times, the body will always be on the lookout for the signals, creating a pattern. If the brain stops receiving the biochemicals, the body perceives it as something is missing and this leads to negative physical and emotional reactions, making the addict sick and needing another "fix".

What are the symptoms?

One can detect mood changes or swings and changes in appearance, such as from being neat to looking dishevelled. Other changes might be changes in personal habits, personal hygiene, and other social and emotional factors such as personality change, hostility toward friends and colleagues.

How hypnosis helps the person to be free from addiction?

Hypnosis is a powerful way to uncover the root cause and resolve the emotional issues via regression, followed by hypnotic suggestions that will be used to install and develop positive behavioural changes and reach one's goals.

By doing so, the hypnotherapist will help the person take back control of his or her life.

With subsequent sessions, the hypnotherapist will also help the person elevate his or her self-esteem. This will empower the person to reflect his or her own true identity, and thus breaking free from addiction and live a life that the person is meant to have.
