Basically, what we are going to do is remove the desire (for the alcohol or drugs) so that you just won’t want it any more. If you don’t want it then it becomes that much easier to say no to it should temptation arise. In a very real sense, we change the attitude that you have toward the alcohol or drugs. We change your priorities so that the desire for the alcohol or drugs is replaced by a stronger desire for health, vitality, self-respect, control and freedom. Now in cases of chemical dependency there are sometimes a number of emotional factors that might need to be addressed in the course of therapy along with the addiction itself.
If you are like most people, there have been nights when you toss and turn, restless and exhausted. The harder you strive and strain for sleep, the wider awake you become.

Nail biting is a subconscious habit. Your conscious mind knows you shouldn’t bite your nails, but that’s not enough to stop you. This is where we can help; regardless of how many years you’ve bitten your nails. Most nail biters engage in the habit when they are watching television, concentrating, or nervous. You learn to associate biting as a relief or distraction when you are in these situations or states of mind. It takes a subconscious therapy approach to deter this subconscious habit and create new habits of relaxation and self-control. We also address the habits of skin picking, hair pulling and thumb-sucking.
What we’re going to do is to teach you how to access the information that’s stored in your mind. As you probably know, your subconscious mind has the ability to store any and all information it receives. Basically, what we’re doing is conditioning your subconscious mind to make that information more easily and readily available to your conscious mind. We’ll also teach you techniques so that you’ll be able to block out distractions when you study or read. This will also allow you to focus your concentration on whatever it is you want to focus on. You’ll find that your mind will no longer wander from one thing to the next. One of the major reasons people fail tests is because of anxiety. Most people know the information that’s being asked on the exam, but when they get into the test situation, they get nervous and all that knowledge just goes out the window. We will teach you how to remain perfectly calm and relaxed during the exam and also teach you a technique to instantly reach down into the subconscious mind for the answers to any questions that you might be having difficulty with.
Do you gamble until all your money is gone? Do you constantly think about gambling? Do you borrow money for gambling or sell property to finance it? Have you jeopardized or lost a close relationship, job, career or educational opportunity because of gambling? You are likely to be a problem gambler. Gambling is a subconscious habit and is triggered by almost any situation where you believe you can get a lot from putting a little in. It is triggered by life stressors and is used as an escape.
