A member asked:
Do you think hypnosis can be used to stop someone drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypnotists will: tell you hynosis will improve a lot of things, but the long-term effect of hypnosis on cigarette smoking, alcohol or drug cessation is weak--statistically weaker than other forms of treatment. Hypnosis is better for self-image and relaxation work, and more recently regression to deep states to recover memories and dream recall..
