Struggling with Addiction? Hypnosis Can Help
Addiction is more than a bad habit—it’s a deeply wired coping mechanism rooted in stress, trauma, and subconscious conditioning. Whether you're dealing with smoking, alcohol, food, or behavioral addictions, traditional approaches often miss the deeper cause. As a trained hypnotist and hypnotherapist, I help people break the cycle of addiction by targeting the emotional and mental patterns underneath.
Hypnotherapy for addiction helps with:
-
Rewiring the brain’s reward system
-
Reducing cravings and compulsive urges
-
Addressing emotional triggers like stress, shame, and anxiety
-
Rebuilding self-trust and resilience
-
Creating new patterns of calm and control


The Root Causes of Addictive Behaviors
Most addictions stem from:
-
Chronic stress or anxiety
-
Feelings of unworthiness or emptiness
-
Childhood trauma or emotional neglect
-
Nervous system dysregulation
-
Subconscious associations with pleasure and escape
HeartWise Hypnotherapy in San Diego helps you shift these patterns at the subconscious level so your mind no longer seeks the addiction for comfort or relief.
Addiction Recovery with Hypnosis: Natural & Effective
Unlike willpower-based methods, hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind and works directly with the subconscious. That’s where addictive programming is stored. With a skilled San Diego hypnotherapist, you can finally:
-
Interrupt the automatic urge to use
-
Reprogram your brain's response to stress and triggers
-
Build new coping strategies that actually work
-
Strengthen your identity as a healthy, empowered person
Why Choose Hypnosis Over Other Methods
Not all treatments are created equal. Here’s how hypnosis compares:
12-Step Programs: Can help, but may not work for everyone and often lack personalization
Rehab Centers: Valuable for some, but costly and not always accessible
Medication: May reduce symptoms but often doesn’t address root causes
Hypnosis: Addresses subconscious programming, rebalances emotions, and helps you regain control naturally

Long-Term Impact of Untreated Addiction
If addiction is left untreated, the consequences grow over time:
⚠️ Increased emotional pain and isolation
⚠️ Damage to relationships, health, and self-esteem
⚠️ Escalation of the addiction or substitute addictions
⚠️ Physical symptoms, mental fog, or chronic illness

Testimonials
"I went in carrying decades of stress and addiction when I found Brian at HeartWise Hypnotherapy. And everything changed right at the end of the first session. I'm not smoking. I’m not craving. I smell everything again."
Richard Brown


"Brian helped me quit weed, I’d been stuck in unhealthy patterns for years, using cannabis to manage ADHD. Hypnosis helped me break those habits and replaced them with positive routines like walks, and drinking more water."
