Hypnotherapy For Changing Habits
Hypnotherapy can be an amazing help when changing, stopping or beginning new habits.
​
Habits tend to work on two levels. The first level is in that some way, shape or form, the habits we have are our way of meeting a need we have. Sometimes it's clearly obvious what need it's meeting & other times it makes little sense when we think about it logically.
This is where the subconscious mind comes in. The purpose of the subconscious mind is to keep us safe & alive & it drives us to meet our needs to do this. Some of these needs are physical, like food, water, sleep etc, & others are emotional.
​
If something at one point in our lives has been helpful, our subconscious mind can often code this as something we should do more of & this is what sustains our habits. Sometimes it's not the most helpful thing though & although it's coming from a good place, often it's been taken out of context or needs updating.
​
The second level is the habit itself which is sustained over time by triggers like our environment, times of day, emotional states, other people & certain occasions. These all serve as reminders for our subconscious mind to do the thing relating to that habit.
​
And our subconscious mind runs things like our habits on auto pilot so often we do these things without even realising. This is often helpful as it saves us from having to apply our conscious attention & energy to tasks. But not so helpful when you're trying to change an unwanted habit...
​
This is where hypnosis can help & it's an amazing way to transform habits.
​
Through hypnosis we can understand what the unmet need is underneath this habit & find new, more helpful ways for this need to be met. This will enable your subconscious mind to release the unwanted habit & enable you to feel good about the changes you're making.
Why does it sometimes feel so hard to let go of a habit?
We can often feel quite attached to our habits & the idea of letting them go can feel difficult & like we'll be missing something. But the beauty of approaching this change with the help of hypnosis is that you'll feel happy & content about moving on with your new helpful habits. There won't be the gaping hole in your life that you might have anticipated but instead you'll have given yourself the gift of finding positive & helpful ways to meet your needs.
​
We all have needs & it's important for us to meet them. The interesting thing about our habits is that often they don't actually meet the need they've been attached to. Sometimes the sense of familiarity & comfort is what keeps us attached to them & the times where a particular habit has helped them cope with some difficult things, but they can actually make our lives quite uncomfortable.
I help clients release old patterns that are keeping them stuck & support them to create habits that help them feel great, whether that's to meet a certain goal you have or to feel happy, healthy & in control of your life.

Here's what my amazing clients say...
"Rosie's detailed & bespoke programme has helped me remove self constructed barriers in many areas of my life – some of which I hadn't even been aware of until Rosie reconnected me with the depths of my subconscious. These areas include personal relationships, self doubt, self criticism, health improvement & many others.
​
The biggest practical result has been to help me stop smoking. I've been a smoker for over thirty years &, thanks to Rosie's sessions, I have broken free of this debilitating & life restricting addiction. Rosie has a relaxed & unfussy style of approach which helped me open my mind to different ways of developing my own potential. For that, I can't thank her enough."
Helen, Support With Stopping Smoking & Personal Development.
"Rosie has been a true blessing! I went into my hypnotherapy with an open mind &I'm so glad I did. By allowing myself to truly relax & trust Rosie I have been able to focus on what really matters & made changes that have made a whole world of difference to my every day life. The main reason for wanting to try hypnotherapy was because I felt like I was an emotional-eater & could never stop thinking about my next meal or snack to pass the day by. It was a great starting point but it wasn't the only obstacle we tackled, it just opened the door.
Rosie is so empathetic in what she does, each session she has grown more of an understanding of my needs & each session I've grown to trust her methods implicitly. After 4 sessions I have seen drastic changes in my behaviour & I'm starting to lead the balanced life I've been dreaming about. Don't get me wrong, I still have my bad days but I find I can tackle them head on with a true purpose & I'm back to being 'me' in no time.
I can't thank Rosie enough! She's enabled me to free myself from old habits & worries. With weekly tasks, both physical & mental, I have been able to challenge myself & prove that I can be the person I chose to be. It's ok to say 'no' & it's ok to take time for myself, after all we have to look after number 1. I look forward to continuing the sessions & seeing how they develop as life goes on."
