Hypnosis Improves The Relaspe Rate For Alcohol Abstinence.

Why is The National Relapse Rate for Alcoholics is 80%?

Because the majority of today’s treatment programs tell their patients that 80% of them will relapse. That type of negative communication is very flawed.

With advances in neuroscience, the majority of alcoholism treatment programs still teach concepts and ideas that work against the way a person’s brain works.

Because of today’s scientific research we understand more about how the brain works, we know that neuroplasticity (brain is always changing) naturally occurs, we understand about how mirror neurons operate (these force us to feel the way others feel) and we know how a neural pathway creates a behavior (new pathways can be created).

Hypnosis works with the natural processes of the brain to transform self-defeating beliefs that in turn make sobriety a part of recovery, not relapse.

Treatment programs use this type of language:

• You are powerless
• Relapse is a part of recovery

If a person is told they are powerless, that relapse is a part of recover then that is likely what they come to believe and therefore experience.  It is setting them up for failure. And perhaps why they have a low success rate.

Dallas hypnotist Valerie Grimes asks, “How about sobriety being a part of recovery?

It is the law of mind that dictates our recovery so if a person believes they will relapse they will.”

The low success rate of 12 step approach treatment programs.

Like Alcoholics Anonymous, treatment professionals claim success in the face of contradicting evidence. AA groupers boast, “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.” The truth is people rarely succeed when following the path of those in AA. As stated previously, 95% of the existing treatment centers in the United States adhere to the 12 Step philosophies. Not surprising, the success rate of treatment is no different from the success rate of AA: 3%. *
