Questions

Common questions

Is this a replacement for rehab or medical treatment?

No. Healing From Your Addiction offers hypnotherapy, EFT, coaching-style support and educational resources. It is not a replacement for medical detox, psychiatric treatment, emergency care or licensed rehabilitation where those services are required.

Is the enquiry confidential?

Yes. The enquiry process is designed to be private and respectful. You can choose WhatsApp, phone or email as your preferred contact method.

Do I need to be certain before I enquire?

No. Many people start with uncertainty. The enquiry is simply a first confidential conversation about the pattern you want support with.

Can hypnotherapy cure gambling addiction?

Hypnotherapy should not be presented as a cure or guarantee. The programme is designed to support behaviour change by working with urges, emotional triggers, automatic responses and the pattern of chasing losses.

Is this gambling addiction support confidential?

Yes. Enquiries are treated privately and respectfully. The form asks only for the details needed to respond and understand the concern.

What if I have gambling debt or financial pressure?

Financial pressure is common with gambling problems. This support focuses on the behavioural and emotional pattern, and you may also need practical debt, legal or financial guidance from an appropriate professional.

Do I need to stop gambling before I enquire?

No. You can enquire even if the pattern is still active. The first step is to understand the loop, triggers and support needs.

Is this a replacement for licensed addiction treatment?

No. It is complementary support and education. If there is severe distress, suicidal thinking, dangerous debt pressure or another medical or mental health crisis, contact a qualified professional or emergency service immediately.

Is food addiction the same as binge eating?

They can overlap, but they are not always the same. This support focuses on cravings, emotional eating, loss of control patterns and the triggers behind repeated eating behaviour.

Is this a diet plan?

No. The programme is not a diet plan. It focuses on emotional triggers, craving control, subconscious patterns and building a healthier relationship with food.

Can hypnotherapy help food cravings?

Hypnotherapy and EFT may support craving awareness and emotional regulation, but results cannot be guaranteed. The work is designed to create more space between urge and action.

Can I still eat normally?

Yes. Unlike substances that can be avoided completely, food is part of daily life. The goal is a calmer, more conscious and more balanced relationship with eating.

Is this suitable for eating disorders?

This is not a replacement for medical, psychiatric, dietetic or specialist eating disorder care. If you have an eating disorder diagnosis or medical risk, speak to a qualified healthcare professional first.
