It’s a little bit odd (or maybe not?) but I tend to see a pattern in the issues that my lovely clients present with. Sometimes, like buses, you don’t see a particular issue for ages, then several come along at once.

Just of late I have been helping a lot of people who would like to reduce – or even eliminate – their alcohol intake. It maybe that throughout lockdown and beyond they have got into a habit of drinking more and cannot find a way to stop. With some folk, they have reached the conclusion that it is actually best to stop drinking completely.

Alcohol is still very much accepted, perhaps even encouraged, in today’s society. We do not tend to see it as a substance which causes harm, except in huge amounts. Smoking is the real baddie, isn’t it? However, recent studies have linked even moderate amounts of alcohol with health issues such as Alzheimer’s, cancer and heart disease. It can also be linked to a number of mental health issues. With that in mind, it is important to consider reducing it, at the very least.

With some of my clients I actually suggest giving up alcohol completely as this sometimes is easier than cutting down. If the person has an addictive personality, then giving it up is the only way to be honest.

Hypnotherapy treatment to reduce or stop drinking alcohol can be really effective, as it works with the sub-conscious mind in order to manage any withdrawal issues, helping you to feel calm and relaxed.

If you feel that you would like to address a problematic drinking habit, do get in touch. I would be happy to help.
