Hypnosis for Alcohol Moderation and Abstinence
Alcohol Moderation and Abstinence - Clinical Hypnosis Can Help.
Take control of your drinking habits and regain your health and well-being. Whether your goal is to reduce alcohol consumption or achieve complete and lasting sobriety, my tailored approach offers the support and tools you need to succeed.
Read on to discover how you can moderate or abstain from drinking alcohol.
Understanding the Challenge
If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll cut back,” only to find old habits creeping back in, you’re not alone. Many people feel stuck in a cycle of drinking more than they’d like, feeling regret, and trying again. The good news is that change is possible—without relying on willpower alone.
Alcohol consumption often starts as a social activity or a way to unwind, but over time, it can develop into a dependency that affects your relationships, health, and sense of control. Recognizing the need for change is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being.
My Approach
I utilize clinical hypnosis to address the underlying factors contributing to excessive drinking. By accessing the subconscious mind, I help modify behaviors, reduce cravings, and strengthen your resolve to moderate or abstain from alcohol.
In addition to hypnosis, I offer dietary and nutritional supplementation guidance to support your brain and body in recovering from the effects of alcohol use. Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in restoring balance, replenishing depleted nutrients, and reducing cravings, making it easier to sustain moderation or abstinence.
Program Highlights
✔ Personalized Sessions – I begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your unique relationship with alcohol and your specific goals. This allows me to customize each session to your needs.
✔ Behavioral Modification – Through hypnosis, I work to reframe negative thought patterns and associations with alcohol, empowering you to make healthier choices.
✔ Coping Strategies – I equip you with effective tools and techniques to manage triggers, stress, and social situations without relying on alcohol.
✔ Nutritional Support – I provide guidance on dietary choices and supplementation that aid in curbing cravings and promoting physical and mental recovery.
✔ Supportive Environment – My compassionate and non-judgmental setting ensures you feel comfortable and motivated throughout your journey.
Why Choose Hypnosis?
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on sheer willpower, hypnosis works at the subconscious level—where habits and cravings originate. Many people who struggle to control their drinking find that logic and discipline alone aren’t enough. Hypnosis helps break this cycle by rewiring your automatic responses, making moderation or abstinence feel natural rather than forced.
Research supports the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating alcohol use disorders.
📌 A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis reported a 77% success rate in reducing alcohol consumption among participants who underwent intensive hypnotherapy sessions over four weeks.*
📌 Another study found that hypnotherapy, when combined with other therapeutic approaches, significantly reduced alcohol consumption and improved overall mental health. **

🔹 Why does hypnosis work? Many people worry about hypnosis being "mind control" or making them do something against their will. In reality, hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation, where you remain fully aware and in control, but more receptive to positive change. Hypnosis works by bypassing the critical mind and accessing the subconscious, where automatic behaviors and habits are stored. This makes it a powerful tool for reshaping your relationship with alcohol. You can read more about how hypnosis works here.

Stressed To Excess
A 1987 study estimated that we have over a thousand times more individual stressors each day than our ancestors had merely one hundred years ago. The truly alarming message from this study: the human body processes over 90% of these stressors unconsciously.
While this automatic processing was quite useful in earlier times, the “fight or flight” response to modern pressures over stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and has an insidious effect on our health. This is because most modern stress inducers – busy schedules, excessive work hours, financial and family commitments, climbing…and falling from the corporate ladder – are not conducive to fighting or fleeing as a means of dealing with them. Unfortunately, the body-mind complex does respond in just this way, causing a long list of disorders that will most likely follow.
According to the American Institute for Preventative Medicine, stress is at the root of nearly two-thirds of all office visits and plays a major role in heart disease, cancer and most chronic diseases.
