Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
For most people, life can be overwhelming and difficult at times. The pressures of work, home life, family, friends, and relationships can leave us feeling like we have little time for ourselves and our needs.
And for those struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues, the challenges can be even more intense – impacting our state of well-being, our ability to function in the world, and our ability to live a happy and fulfilling life.
But while no one can understand the extent of our personal struggles better than ourselves, there is some comfort in knowing that countless others have managed to find the help they needed to experience real positive changes in their lives.
Hypnotherapy is one of the many treatments available to those seeking help in overcoming substance abuse or mental health issues, and for many, it has been a powerful tool on the road to recovery. At Absolute Awakenings, our medical professionals are experienced and highly trained in providing hypnotherapy in New Jersey to help our clients find the long-term peace and healing they need to move forward.

Our Therapies
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of talk therapy that helps you to identify negative thoughts and feelings. The goal is to help you understand the sequence of events that lead to undesirable behaviors and stop the cycle before it begins.
DBT was initially created to treat personality disorders but has since maintained prominence as an industry-leading mental health and substance use treatment. While similar to CBT, DBT is a psychotherapy approach that helps you identify and accept two potentially contradictory things in your mind. For example, feeling intense emotions about something and comparing this to the truth about that thing.
Considered more of a counseling approach, Motivational Interviewing is a person-centered and targeted intervention that helps clients identify and address ambivalent feelings about their actions. The intention is to rebuild or develop their own personal motivation to make positive behavior changes.
The goal of ACT is for the client to increase their psychological flexibility by implementing several effective behavioral changes and commitment-based strategies. By accepting hardships or challenges and committing to a healthy response, the client creates positive habits.
Interpersonal Therapy is a form of psychotherapy. The goal is to help clients address their worries and obstacles and improve interpersonal communication and enhance their relationships. The client learns new ways to relate to their circle, their circumstances, and the world around them to develop and maintain healthy relationships.
The road to recovery for someone struggling with alcohol or substance use often brings the family along. Family Therapy is a safe space for every member of the family to be heard, feel seen, and work through their challenges as a group. Here, there is room for the whole unit to be supported and pursue healing, not only the primary client.
Art Therapy is a form of Experiential Therapy that facilitates a hands-on approach to recovery. The client will engage in multiple activities, such as creating or viewing the arts. From drawing and pottery to painting and art museums, the therapist will help the patient engage with all aspects of the craft.
This type of yoga is not simply a workout, although that is often a natural byproduct. Yoga Therapy is an interactive therapeutic approach that engages the whole patient, body, mind, and soul. By connecting these three facets of a person, clients can begin to ease physical, mental, and emotional complaints.
Muay Thai isn’t just for self-defense and movement. It’s also an evidence-back therapeutic outlet that promotes stress relief, focus, and personal discipline. All of these attributes make it a highly-effective therapy technique for drug and alcohol dependence.
Music Therapy is another form of Experiential Therapy that actively engages the client in their treatment with a hands-on approach. Activities range from listening, writing, and playing music under the direction of a skilled provider. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know how to play an instrument in order to participate.
Hypnotherapy is nothing like a hypnotist on a stage. It is, however, an evidence-based and highly-effective therapeutic intervention. In Hypnotherapy, the therapist helps to create a state of increased attention and concentration. Inducing a state of hypnosis gives a sense of heightened awareness and allows the client to process experiences from a detached perspective.
How can hypnotherapy help treat mental health conditions
What is Hypnoherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses hypnosis to bring about positive changes in a person’s life. It works by addressing the subconscious mind, helping individuals to uncover and address underlying issues, beliefs, and behaviors that have prevented them from achieving true well-being.
Hypnotherapy is conducted in a safe and supportive environment by therapists trained in the practice. During each session, clients are guided into a relaxed and focused state of mind to explore different aspects of their lives.
Through this exploration process, individuals will often find deeper insight and understanding about themselves and the issues that have prevented them, allowing clients to relax and explore their inner thoughts and feelings. Through the power of suggestion, hypnotherapists can help uncover and re-frame any negative patterns holding individuals back from achieving emotional freedom.
Hypnotherapy can be a valuable part of treatment when battling addiction or other mental health issues, but it can also be effective when helping to stop smoking, support weight loss goals, fight phobias, address panic attacks, or assist with pain management. In fact, evidence supports that addressing the deep-seated causes behind our behaviors and thought processes can help to reprogram our reactions and approach to life, allowing us to break free from damaging patterns that have been holding us back.

The side effects of hypnotherapy are generally positive. Some people may experience deep relaxation or sleepiness after a session, while others may experience heightened senses or increased concentration and focus. In some cases, however, there may be a short-term increase in anxiety or emotional distress as old memories and feelings resurface. Other minor side effects can include headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
Counseling focuses on understanding and resolving psychological issues through discussion. Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, is a process that involves using hypnotic suggestions to access underlying memories and feelings to affect change. However, both specialties can be used together for maximum benefit.
