Can Hypnosis Heal a Broken Heart?

A Broken Heart Doesn't Have to Cloud Your Life Forever

“Can you hypnotize me to forget about someone?”  I hear that request more often than you might expect.   The truth is hypnosis can't make you forget the one who caused you heartache.  However, my intention in writing this article is to inspire you that you can use hypnosis as a powerful tool to help you understand your own personal journey and heal after a heartache. 

The demise of a relationship, even one we know should or must end, can cause severe psychological and emotional stress.  In shamanism, one of the oldest spiritual practices known to humankind, there is a core belief that when we suffer an emotional or physical trauma, a part our essence or soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. A shaman would be called in to perform a ritual called "Soul Retrieval" which was considered crucial to the person's healing process.  As a hypnotherapist, I have had the honor to guide many clients through a similar sacred process to reclaim their energies, heal emotionally, and move forward.   

In this article, I will share some brief stories of how hypnosis has helped my clients to heal after a break-up or divorce. (The names below have been changed for privacy.)

Stories of Betrayal Haunted Him:  Jim had been divorced for two years.  His wife had been the love of his life.  She cheated on him with a best friend and the two went through a very bitter, ugly divorce. The whole experience left him "gun-shy" to date again for fear of getting hurt.  "Logically, I know it's time to move on but it's not happening." In one very powerful hypnosis session, I guided Jim to release the negative emotions from his divorce and gain a much needed sense of closure helping him to feel free to move on. 

The Ex-Boyfriend Who Haunted Her Dreams:  Carrie had been married for over ten years when she came to get help with recurring dreams about an ex-boyfriend. It had been years since the breakup of her college sweetheart and first love of her life.  Despite time passing and marrying another man, she kept dreaming that she was back at school, desperately trying to find her first love. She would frequently wake up frustrated and sad.  In our session, I guided Carrie to her own deeper wisdom where she understand the purpose of her recurring dream.  She needed to reclaim her vulnerability and sensuality which she had disowned when that relationship ended.  After our session, Carrie happily reported that the recurring dream ended and she felt lighter and more joyful than she had in years.

Obsession with the Other Man:  Anne was married to a great guy. She described him as the perfect, loving, husband and father to their three children.  Despite ideal circumstances, she found herself falling in love with another man she had met through work.  Even though she knew it was wrong, she entered into a one night stand with the co-worker followed by a deep and intense emotional affair which they conducted via emails and texting.  Anne knew that this love addiction would destroy her marriage if didn't stop.  She sought help from me and was able to gain immediate clarity on the unconscious reasons that compelled her obsession.  We worked together and she was able to end the affair and overcome her lifelong fears of true intimacy and vulnerability that comes in a deeply, committed, loving relationship.

She Couldn't Say Goodbye to a Soul Mate:  Susan found herself stuck in a long-term relationship that she knew was unhealthy for her.  Her boyfriend treated her disrespectfully, often criticizing her in public and flirting with other women in her presence.  On several occasions, she had even caught him cheating with other women.  Each time that she would end the relationship, deep feelings of abandonment and grief overwhelmed her and she would end up taking her unfaithful boyfriend back.  "It doesn't make sense that I want to be with him.  I feel like we are soul mates from a past life and that's why I can't let him go,"  Susan admitted. 

I am Certified in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression Therapy so I knew this statement indicated the need for a past life regression session. Susan remembered two previous lives with this man.   In both, they had been husband and wife and circumstances had caused his untimely death which left her feeling devastated and alone.  After hypnosis, Susan felt empowered to end her relationship with this man in this life.

These cases are just a few examples of the after effects caused by the mental and emotional stress from a painful break-up or divorce.  Here are some common symptoms that can be related to unresolved pain or grief:

• Feeling Emotionally Detached or Numb 
• Habitual Replaying of Past Conversations or Memories  
• Debilitating Fear of Getting Hurt Again 
• Obsession with the Lost Lover  
• Grief that Has Not Healed 
• Anger that Doesn’t Dissipate or Transfers to Other People in Your Life 
• Problems with Forgiveness 
• Victim Mentality 
• Insomnia or Stressful Dreams Related to the Break-Up 
• Headaches and Other Physical Problems 
• Post Traumatic Stress  
• Manifestation or Worsening of Addictions to Numb Emotional Loss and Pain 
• Immune System Deficiencies Caused by PTSD
• Hopelessness or Depression 
• Feel Like a Part of You is Dead or Gone

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, seek advice from a medical doctor or licensed mental health professional before using a complimentary health modality like hypnosis.

Carolyn Myss, the best-selling author of several books on the subject of the mind-body connection to health and healing believes the emotional energy we divert focusing on painful memories, or in our efforts to suppress them, is the single most common cause of illness and disease.

What if Quitting Smoking Could Be as Easy as Flipping a Switch?

Smoking Cessation Secrets from an Expert

"How many hypnosis sessions will I need to quit smoking?"  I smile everytime someone asks me this question.  It is like asking "How many licks will it take to get the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"  The truth is that it is different for everyone. 

Over the past twenty years, I have helped hundreds of smokers to successfully quit smoking using hypnosis. This article will expose some of the most important secrets every smoker should know before you try to quit.

Secret Number 1:  The amount of time that you've been a smoker has no correlation to how easy or difficult it is to stop smoking. 

In reality, it has more to do with your will power, motivation, as well as, your fears and resistance.  One primary benefit of hypnosis is that it can help you address all of these aspects to work in your favor. 

Secret Number 2: You do not have to be ready to quit smoking before you start. 

Hypnosis is considered a behavior support program.  It can help you overcome self-sabotage and mentally prepare to quit.  

Secret Number 3:  People who successfully quit smoking with hypnosis fall into three categories.

I will describe the three successful types of quitters below.

Some People Quit Smoking with Just One Session

Type 1:  Lightswitch Quitters:
The first type of client quits with just one session!  Yes!  For you,  hypnosis seems to flip some sort of mental light switch that takes the brain from smoker to non-smoker in just one hour.  When, I first began my practice and saw this happening for my clients, I truly became a believer in the power of hypnosis and the mind itself. 

How Do I Know if I am a Type 1?  You honestly don't.  The subconscious seems to have an agenda all its own.  I have worked with clients who expected to flip a switch and it didn't happen.  Then, I have worked with doubting Thomas clients who have surprised themselves and quit with just one session.    The important thing to know is don't be discouraged if you need more than one session.  Further, don't blame yourself or the hypnotherapist if one session doesn't work for you.  It usually indicates that you are just a different type of quitter.

Type 2:  Quitting is a Process Not an Event:
The second type of quitter is the one who takes two to three sessions to stop smoking.  My clients who fall into this category express feeling stress and anxiety just thinking about giving up cigarettes.  In a process to quit, you will find that you are much more successful if you use the power of hypnosis to help you mentally prepare before the actual smoking cessation session.

Ending Cigarettes Can Be a Journey

What is involved when you need a process to quit?  For most clients, a helpful first session would teach you how to replace cigarettes with healthier stress reduction tools.   Another session might help you to work through self-sabotage or mental resistance.  The third session usually is the one where you will actually receive suggestions to quit.  If you need a process to quit smoking, audio recordings containing post-hypnotic suggestions to reinforce whatever you need for mental support are as important as the sessions themselves. 

Type 3:  Quitting Cigarettes is Like Losing My Best Friend:
Lastly, for some smokers, the process of quitting can be a grief filled one evoking similar emotions that are felt during a break up with a lover or best friend.   If you are this type of smoker, you may have heard yourself say, "I love smoking!" or "Cigarettes are my best friend!"  

Quitting Smoking Can Feel Like Losing a Friend

Why am I emotionally attached to something I know is bad for me? Some people associate cigarettes with a way to bond with others.   Then, when they try to quit, they feel alone and grieve the loss of the connection to other smokers.  Furthermore, people who grieve the loss of cigarettes often smoke to avoid uncomfortable situations or feelings like boredom, anger, or sadness.   Then, when they stop they feel emotionally out of control or sad because the cigarettes have been there to help.

Hypnosis Helps You No Matter What You Need:  No matter where you are in your journey to become a non-smoker, know that it can happen and that hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you quit smoking easier.  Avoid comparing yourself to others or criticize yourself because you need help to quit.  Don't get discouraged if you need a process versus one session.  Don't give up if you know that a break-up is in store.  We have all lived through those especially with a little help from others.
