You do not ‘lose control’ when in trance but, in fact, the state of heightened awareness leads you to take more personal control of your thoughts and your internal attention.

Hypnotherapy, by contrast, has its emphasis on therapy and not on entertainment.  The ‘no effort’ approach of stage hypnosis might seem attractive but it doesn’t work in the real world.  At Absolute Mind we work with you in a collborative way that increases your awareness of how you are creating your problem.  With this increased awareness comes empowerment to choose new ways of being and make lasting change.

People who ignore their emotions and try to bury themselves in work or use alcohol, food or drugs to blot them out can end up in particularly difficult places as the feelings can grow more and more intense and lead to depression, violence or illness.  We can help you learn to understand and deal with emotions which you find uncomfortable and help you become more in control.

Alcohol is a drug, a depressant which can ensnare you as well as stimulate you and so breaking down your relationship with it will mean examining lots of your beliefs around it, your perceptions, and looking at yourself in a new way.  Very often, there is an underlying issue which turns out to be the primary issue rather than the alcohol issue itself.  Uncovering the real issue lies at the heart of appropriate action to get you in control again and doing this can lead you to lasting change.
