Addictions or Substance Abuse
Ilah Brock - Central Valley Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht
The three (3) most popular reasons why someone would seek the services of a hypnotherapist would be #1 - Smoking Cessation - I have two programs I offer, The first is "quit in one day" One and Done" with two follow up appointments. And that's it. The second Quit Smoking program is to quit at a future date and we work together to prepare you to quit and then on your quit day you just do that ... you quit.
#2 Reason - Weight Loss and Hypnotherapy. The goal here is to help adjust how you view food and eating and eliminate the reasons of emotional eating. Getting passed that and learning new amazing solid nutritional information that helps you stay motivated, organized and gives you proper knowledge. My program is 9 sessions - there is no obligation in this program. I ask at the first session if you are ready to change your way of life in eating, forever? Diet is not a 2 week or 6 month ordeal and then go back to your old habits. We establish new habits to combat those weight causing ones you use to have.
Reason #3 - Anxiety - This is actually a very big issue in our society now more than ever. I have a very unique technique and it is very effective with helping you overcome anxiety and panic attacks. I teach you tools you can use in your own daily life to rid yourself of that uncomfortable sense that anxiety causes. Are you anxious? Where do you feel it? Throat? gut? back? Head? Other?
There are other popular reasons why someone would seek my services - These three are the most popular.
#4 Grief/ Loss
#5 "I'm Stuck and do not know how to get passed my 'xyz" situation and I just want to be successful and happy. Let's find your "impetus" and get you moving.
And so on and so forth

Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
In my own journey of recovery i discovered that my own previous misuse of substances was just an overactive coping skill which was functioning to cover up my trauma and attachment disruption. I have found a way to treat these issues via individual therapy leading to successful recovery from the overuse of substances.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
My approach to use of substances or compulsive behaviors (such as gambling, sex, shopping, etc.) is to view them as efforts to find pleasure or more often to avoid pain. My approach then is to understand what they client is trying to accomplish with the addiction, and then to help them find the healthiest ways to fulfil what they are attempting to accomplish. Some of my clients decide to abstain from the substance or behavior, but so too do others explore trying to manage their addiction through approach like risk reduction, controlled use, etc. I don't try to force those I work with to adhere to a particular decision about that but rather to empower them in continually evaluating the consequences of their decisions and to move toward solutions that will be healthiest for them, their loved ones, and their lives in general. Some of my clients find value in participating in 12-step recovery programs, but this is not something I require. I find am very comfortable supporting 12-step programs but so too am I also adept at supporting Rational Recovery, Smart Recovery, Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention, Risk Reduction, Trauma Informed Addiction Treatment, and other such approaches.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Maybe you are working the 12-steps but keep relapsing. Or you find that meetings are not keeping you clean and sober. You know that something deep is driving you to drink or drug and you just can’t stop it. Your life has grown unmanageable, and you no longer have control over the decision to take a drink or do drugs though you desperately want to stop. You know that you need something more if you are ever going to have a clean and sober life.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, we work together to understand the underlying patterns and trauma that lead you to drinking and drugging. I help you understand and heal what is underneath this destructive behavior. We tap into your own inner wisdom and intuition as a resource for healing and charting a clean and sober path forward for a more fulfilling and productive life.
