Marijuana is often used as a pain-reliever and people may first take it for entertainment in a group but if unchecked, it can become an addiction. Marijuana is also called cannabis, or sometimes referred to as weed or pot. However long term like with most drugs the fun of it starts to wear off.
More than half a million people go to rehab centres in America every year for help with marijuana addiction, that’s how big a problem it has become and while some are able to quit by themselves, others clearly feel they need clinical treatment.
Hypnosis is an additional therapy tool now being used across America for curing marijuana addiction. There are two ways to try hypnosis, you can purchase a tape, CD or mp3 designed for the purpose or visit a clinical psychiatrist. A CD or mp3 will work in exactly the same way as seeing a therapist and is obviously the far less expensive option.
Hypnosis works by sending direct messages for lifestyle changes to the subconscious. The subconscious is more malleable than the analytical mind and yet, is more potent when it comes to changing a person’s habits. It does not interfere with your basic moral fibre though.
Trying a hypnosis session is actually quite easy. It may include four major steps and last for about an hour. You don’t have to do anything but go into a trance as led by the hypnotherapist in the clinic. A similar trance is induced by listening to a CD. In the case of the CD, messages are woven into music of certain frequencies. You may sometimes fall asleep during a hypnosis session, but you will always wake up naturally fully refreshed.
If you visit a hypnotherapist your sessions may be scheduled thrice a week. A CD for self-hypnosis can be used thrice in a day if you wish. Either way, to actually benefit from hypnosis to treat marijuana addiction you must remain regular with your sessions. Most hypnosis treatments last for a couple of months. A minimum of 60-day usage is recommended with CDs for self-hypnosis.
The main benefit of hypnosis is most evident in the control of withdrawal symptoms relating to marijuana addiction. Symptoms like loss of appetite, physical tension, irritability, mood swings, depression etc can often all be helped with hypnosis.
Marijuana addiction can be got rid of by a combination of exercise, will power, the right support network and hypnosis. No approach should be used in isolation. But, all the effort is worth it for improving your life and becoming addiction free.
Different people will experience differing degrees of success using hypnosis depending on your susceptibility, some people are more susceptible than others, but many experience a significant degree of success, but it’s not a magic spell and will power is still required.
