RTT for Addiction
Hypnotherapy for Addiction and Compulsive Habits
Every addiction is the subconscious doing its best to meet a need it has not found another way to meet. Until the original need is addressed, the behaviour keeps coming back.
Addiction and compulsive habits look like a willpower problem from the outside. They are not. They are the subconscious reaching for the only reliable form of relief it has found, even when that relief is costing you everything.
RTT works with the underlying need, not just the behaviour. Once the need is met from inside rather than outside, the pull of the substance or behaviour drops dramatically.
A note on approach
Rapid Transformational Therapy is at the core of how I work and it is what most of this page is describing. Where a session calls for it I also draw on Clinical Hypnotherapy, Integration Coaching or the Rewind Technique. We talk through the right combination for you in your free discovery call.
How this work helps
We trace the addiction back to the moment your subconscious decided this thing was your way of coping. We then resource the original need from a different source so the behaviour is no longer required.
RTT works well alongside other forms of recovery support and is not a substitute for medical detox or 12-step community where those are needed.
What you can expect
- Find the underlying need the addiction has been meeting
- Meet that need at the subconscious source
- Reduce the pull of the substance or behaviour at the wiring level
- Use your recording daily to reinforce the new pattern
Common questions
Will RTT work for serious addiction?
RTT is most effective as part of a wider recovery plan for serious addiction. It addresses the subconscious driver, which other approaches often do not reach. Please discuss your specific situation in the discovery call.
Is this only for substances?
No. The same approach works for compulsive habits like emotional eating, scrolling, gambling and behaviours that have become a way to regulate.
