What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is the application of therapy during hypnosis, to change or modify behaviour patterns that we wish to change, such as the compulsion to smoke, gamble, drink etc. It can help in the cure of phobias such as the fear of spiders/insects, fear of flying, fear of thunder and lightning, fear of injections etc. It can help with motivation, confidence building, reducing stress and can be very effective in pain control. Hypnotherapy deals with psychoneurotic problems - that is, problems of the mind that are rooted in and controlled by the subconscious mind. We always do what our unconscious mind tells us even if it goes against reason and logic. Hypnotherapy therefore, bypasses the conscious mind to allow the constructive life-affirming suggestions for change, of our own choosing, to be fed to our subconscious mind directly, for us to act upon.

All addictions have symptoms, which allow us to recognize these problems as addictive diseases. The signs of addictive diseases are self-stimulation, compulsion, obsession, denial, withdrawal and craving syndrome, and unpredictable behavior. Like alcoholism or drug use, anger meets many of the criteria.
Self-Stimulation
For those who are rageaholics, expressing anger is self- stimulating. It triggers the compulsion for more anger. For example, let’s unreal that we are going to provide treatment for alcoholics. On the way to the treatment center we stop and buy a case of beer. When we get to the meeting, we tell the alcoholics in therapy that they retributory need to do a lot of drinking to get it out of their system once and for all. This is related to when therapist tell men with rage problems, “You just need to express yourself and get it down of your system.” It is retributory as absurd. The more alcoholics drink, the more they want. The much ragers rage, the more they want to rage.
Compulsion
Anger addiction or “rageaholism” is the compulsive pursuit of a mood change by repeatedly attractive in episodes of rage despite unfavorable consequences. Rageaholics continue to rage compulsively without regard to the negative consequences. Compulsion or loss of control is the inability to stop expressing anger once we have begun. The inability to control wrathful words is a certain sign of rageaholism. Loss of control--that is addiction.
Obsession
Rageaholics are frequently preoccupied with resentment and fantasies of revenge. Those thoughts sometimes rise powerfully and allow no other thoughts to enter. The force of anger is sometimes overwhelming and followed by action. Therefore, the preoccupation with the “wrongs” of others and revenge continually leads to rage. Progressively, these thoughts crowd out complete others until our life becomes chronically revenge-oriented. At that point, anger controls our thoughts.
Denial
Denial keeps anger addicts trapped. It is the psychological process by which we conclude that the addiction is not the problem; it’s “them.” Ignorance of addiction and the inability to examine ourselves, work together to keep rageaholics stuck. informed no other way to live, we deny that there is anything immoral with us. This system of denial ensures that the process of rage and righteous indignation will continue. innocent indignation keeps our focus off of ourselves. This is why ragers seldom are able to say, “I am wrong.”
Withdrawal and Craving
As with any addiction, anger has a detoxification period. Craving is high during this time. Those who abstain from name-calling, profanity and noisy during this period report more depression than usual for the first cardinal months. Typically, during the first 90 days of abstinence, ragers feel penetrable and spend a lot of time thinking and hoping for a situation that will allow us to use violence for whatsoever heroic purpose. Afterward, however, if we have achieved all-out abstinence and preserved it for 90 days, we find we no longer think in lay or disparaging terms. It may equal become shocking when we hear others do it.
Unpredictable Behavior
Another definition of alcoholism is that when an alcoholic drinks, there is no way to predict his or her behavior. He may drink appropriately from time to time, retributory as the rageaholic may express anger appropriately from time to time. However, when the wet starts to drink alcohol, all bets are off. No one knows what is going to happen. When rageaholics start to explicit anger, no cardinal knows where it is going to go. The most likely think is that they will explode, rant and rave. Rageaholics would like to learn how to express our anger appropriately just same alcoholics would same to learn how to drink appropriately. While there are some exceptions, I encourage those with rage problems to abstain from the expression of anger for one year.
This plan is only for that small percent of the population who have rage or violence problems. The approach described present is not for everyone; but for those addicted to rage, it won’t work to explicit your anger.
