You want to get cured of compulsive gambling because you are too deep into it and you are under professional supervision to cure your addiction, your physician asks you to undergo hypnosis to cure your deep-rooted addiction, will you allow it

Yes / No Why

Hypnosis can be a powerful tool to treat gambling addiction because it can help people deal with the things they don’t want to deal with, and it can give them better and more productive ways to deal with those things other than gambling.

Yes will do it but I will make sure that I am under supervision of my close relative so that he can watch over me if something happen like I'm unconscious. If this can help why not? It can be beneficial to anyone if they are cured on method but make sure that we go to legit professional who practice this so that we will not fall on those people telling he can do the job but end up not good to us.

I heard this before but I don't know if someone near me undergo in this procedure.

I know myself and the kind of person i am, if i think it's the best alternative for me to embrace then there's nothing bad in going for it as long as i see it work for me, the issue there is that i must not be pushed into it or forced, some things we experience in gambling as an addiction were actually due to frustration, if a man can decided from his heart over a thing, he will sure get it done with time, for some people who has the money and are interested in employing a therapist, it's a good idea as long as they are willing to undergo such process.

I'd more seek for a professional help rather than hypnosis. One reason is because professionals have license which proves that they know what they are doing unlike with those people who hypnotizes people who only have experience. Professionals would have 'recovery' procedure if ever something bad happen which guarantees one's safety. Professionals won't suggest or recommend their client to unlicensed individuals 'coz that would be unethical. I am aware of how hypnosis works and for sure there are aspects of it which cannot be gauged. How would the hypnosis be limited to gambling alone and not with other behaviors? Which is for me is risky.

I think OP is framing this question in a context where a person has ran out of options and traditional approaches had not given the expected results to control the problem gambling.

It is similar to those who may suffer from stress, for example, and after giving a try to pills and other kinds of medicine with limited results, they decide to go for meditation or oriental medicine, some things works, others do not. The important thing here is not to mix alternative medicine and treatments with quackery, there is where the danger is, in my humble opinion.

What could possibly be a reason for someone to have no other option when an individual still has money to pay for hypnosis. A gambling addict would more than likely bet than pay to hypnotize him. They chase their loss, they can't possibly chase their loss if they pay their money to a psychologist.

Getting broke is more of an option tbh. Once broke they can stop gambling or rob to gamble.

I don't know. OP did not offer any kind of specific context to this imaginary scenario. I would still say it is possible, perhaps someone with a serious problem with gambling could still have a family member who worried about them and is trying to help, not by giving money which would be gambled away anyways, but paying for all possible treatments for the unfortunate person to try, in hopes of improving the condition.

It is something I can see happening, to be honest.

I always thought that if you're in trouble you should do everything and try every possible way to get better. This means that I'd try psychotherapy, family support, self exclusion, I'd share my bank accounts with a trusted member of my family, so they could keep track of all my spending and finally, if the opportunity were to arise, try hypnosis.
Worst case scenario it doesn't work and I waste some money, best case, at least one way of fighting my addiction will and I'll get rid of it.

Fortunately I'm not a compulsive gambler who needs that, but it's an interesting topic to think about.

I think the same, there are circumstances in which you need to exhaust all your options in order to improve no matter how ridiculous you may think the option was at the time, and gambling addiction or any form of addiction is one of those cases, because as we know addictions can completely destroy the lives of the addicted, and a meek attitude towards addictions will only make their symptoms worse, so people need to be ready to do everything they can to get rid of it as soon as possible, as the sooner they do this the higher the chances they will make a complete recovery.

And if you really think hypnosis will be your last resort to change for the better, why not?
If it will help you change your path, I would go also for this route. You'll never know the effect on you,
unless you tried such method. There's no harm in trying a route that you think will finally save you from addiction.
This is why I can understand that majority of the poll voters here opted to undergo hypnosis.
Of course, you need to make sure that the person who will do such act is trustworthy and have good intentions for your well-being.

Would be cool if you dropped a link as to where it has been used or how it works. Or maybe a scientific article that examines the efficacy of such methods. Looking for it without any luck yet. Hopefully you'll return to elaborate on how it is supposed to help an addict. Real life example would be just what we need to get convinced. That way we may have the right to say whether it would work or not. As for question, no hyponsis please.

If you are that someone whose been addicted and still have that awareness about on the condition of your addiction then if you have already used and tried all the possible ways on curing it out but still failed then for

sure you would really be going into this kind of idea or methods on which you would be testing this out.It might sound that unusual but in speaking about hypnosis then this isnt something that you could hear out on everyday but sensibly talking about this kind of application on curing up addiction is something that would really be boggling up your mind if it does really work.Of course you wouldnt really be that dumb on testing out something if you dont know its background. If this one or doctor or whatever its called is something known on curing up addiction then its good but if you dont see any records or what
then you wouldnt really be making yourself blind on dealing with this.

I donno know if hypnosis can actually cure someone of their gambling addictions but notwithstanding if I was in a situation like this that needs medical or therapeutic attention then I wouldn't mind given it a try. But I doubt if this method will be an effective way to cure anyone's gambling addiction permanently as I feel hypnosis can just relay the action of the addict for some time, weeks maybe months and then his or addiction will eventual come back again. I just feel to stop any addiction one needs to be self determined first before any influencing methods can be applied.

Yeah I get your point, but I think judging from your post, it seems one is already determined to stop gambling and that was why he took the bold step to seeing a specialist and most times, I don't think the patient will turn down any treatment recommendations given to him as long it promises to cure him of the addiction.
Hypnosis is a great treatment recommendation but I think this method will be made more effective if someone is made to stay with the addict so as to caution him when the urge to gamble suddey comes.
One of the ways to cure addiction is rehabilitation and it has always been of the surest way to treat such victims.

What I know is that Hypnosis is the act of using things to the other person such as Pendulum to make them fall asleep but it's cool if it can also cure gambling addiction. Right now, I am not totally an addict when it comes to gambling but last time I feel I am almost close to it.

I have most of the signs but luckily I am slowly recovering. For now I don't need a professional help. Maybe for some, they need it but there are reasons on why they fail to do so. One would be is they are too shy to let other people know about their issues. Two is financial problem because professionals always demand a nice amount of money in order to complete the full cycle of our treatment.

I would prefer the meditation option if I were a compulsive addict. be it a drug addict or a gambling addict. the meditation option, is more widely adopted than the hypnotic option in alternative fashions for curing addictions. however, as you said. for this type of alternative there are successful, some are not. and in my opinion, the same thing if we choose a place of rehabilitation. the fact is, some are cured, some are not. which in essence, every case of addicts has a different method of healing.

But in meditation mode, the positive impact will be better than the hopnotherapy method which is more identical to entering one's subconscious to give certain suggestions. and once again as you said, that the hypnotherapy method does not necessarily work for all gamblers. but if it's for meditation, the benefits we get are quite a lot, including balancing our souls and feelings. not only to let go of addiction, but the benefits that we get are more positive than hypnosis. one of them, healthy our minds.

If I would be in the worst gambling addiction condition, I will allow a psychiatric professional to do it if necessary. If it will be the only way to help me recover and heal from such an addiction then I would see it as a good process of healing.
But if we don't support our own healing and overcome our urges to gamble, it won't work. The first individual who could aid in our addiction's recovery is us. If we are unwilling to alter our own path, we cannot honestly rely solely on psychologists.
Hypnosis is now a widely accepted treatment for a variety of psychiatric issues, so if it may assist control or completely curing gambling addiction, we should give it a try.

I often say in some of the responses in other threads regarding how to stop gambling it's not a matter of having money or not and also using any method just to stop gambling will never work if there is no will and also the intention that arises from the gambler himself.
If a great desire and serious intention to stop gambling has emerged, even if they have to spend quite a lot of money, they will do it happily.
But if there is not the slightest willingness to stop, then don't complain about money being given socialization for free, they will never want to.

If that is the only way to stop me from gambling then yes, but I could control myself and stop when I want or needed to.
But if I am at a situation that I couldn't stop and it is already getting a huge impact on my life then yes I would go and accept it.

I'd say maybe. Of course, there probably are a number of approaches in treating gambling addiction. I will probably have to listen to different professional recommendations first and weigh in on which treatment I prefer.

Personally, however, I'm interested in hypnosis. I'm curious about it. I haven't even known a friend or a loved one who has undergone such process. Perhaps there is also a very limited number of professional psychologists here who have the expertise to use it as a therapy.

If I were a heavy gambling addict, I would probably do hypnosis under professional supervision to cure my gambling addiction. Maybe it's not easy to say Yes, but it's for my recovery so I want to try it. But I don't want to go alone and will ask for the help of one or several of my family members and friends to accompany me during the healing period.

Maybe this can also be a solution for gambling addicts so they can cure their gambling addiction. But they must be aware that gambling has caused many problems for them so they feel the need to cure it. But unfortunately, gambling addicts will not feel that they have become addicted to gambling.

As far as I know, there is no cure for gambling addiction. I wish i would never become a gambling addict but if somehow I am a gambling addict and I had tried all means to get myself get rid of this and failed, I would surely give it a try for hypnosis. However, just make sure that we get ourselves treated by the professionals as there are some scammers who call themselves experts of gambling addiction cure but their only motive is to get money from the gambling addicts.

What a pity that gambling addicts first lose money in the form of excessive gambling and then again lose more money when they get themselves with non-professionals claiming themselves to be professional Hypnosis.

Maybe with hypnosis, someone can cure gambling addiction because as far as I know, hypnosis programs can help block thoughts about gambling addiction so that person doesn't think about gambling. But I don't know exactly how the program works. But what is clear is that a suggestion was instilled into the person while under hypnosis to stay away from gambling; if he approaches gambling, he can feel bad feelings or even regret.

And to participate in this hypnosis program, we should come to an expert who has experience handling cases of addiction to gambling, alcohol, or other things, including removing trauma from something.
