Cannabis Addiction and Effective Strategies for Recovery

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is an addictive substance that is often consumed by many people for its psychoactive effects. 

Once you form an addiction, it is quite difficult to quit and it often takes a long time to break this sort of habit. 

Marijuana addiction is often more of a mental addiction than a physical one, similar to smoking cigarettes. However, while there are solutions for smoking addictions, there is no proper solution for cannabis addiction. 

Even with the mounting evidence that proves that marijuana is bad for your health, it is still difficult to simply quit. Having said that, hypnosis can be used to deal with many addiction issues and can often be the answer when nothing else seems to work. 

To deal with an addiction, it is important to address the mental connection with the substance before taking the physical action of quitting. 

How to Fight Cannabis Addiction

Hypnosis as a process relies on clearing the mind, calming you down, and relaxing you. Some harmful effects of cannabis consumption include cancer and other health problems that can arise due to evident damage to the immune system, along with psychotic symptoms that include hallucinations, delusions, and even suicidal behaviour.

To treat addictions, it is usually necessary to build up your unconscious motivation, which involves breaking through your mind to work on the inner connection you might have with the addictive substance. 

Over time, with continued consumption, marijuana can blur out your reasoning as to why you crave the substance. However, hypnosis can help you regain clarity and control over this, while also helping you to gain an objective view of everything. 

Using integrative approach talk therapy for cannabis addiction, you will be able to feel free to choose what you do, instead of feeling bound by habits and urges. It also helps with the urge or craving itself and works on diminishing its strength, so that you can actively focus on filling up your time doing other things that you like. 

integrative approach talk therapy hypnotherapy helps you gain enough clarity to question the reasons why you lean towards cannabis or what triggers you to choose to consume it and therefore, overcome cannabis addiction once and for all. 

Therapy for Cannabis Addiction

When it comes to treating a marijuana addiction, it is first necessary to identify and develop an awareness that you have an addiction or a problem that you need to work on. 

The effects of marijuana are rather discreet, as it does not have visibly obvious physical side-effects like you may have when you are drunk, nor does it have strongly addictive properties like heroin. Thus, it is difficult to tell when you are addicted, as the addiction is not immediate like other drugs. 

The Stop Smoking Hypnosis Method

A common technique in hypnotherapy for addictions is the stop smoking hypnosis method. 

In this technique, the focus is on the mind and breaking the mental relationship that is built with marijuana use, which powers the addiction that is developed over time. 

Hypnosis helps with communicating to the conscious as well as the subconscious parts of the brain, alongside dealing with the physical actions associated with the addiction. It also helps with dealing with the emotional effects, like the feeling of anticipation, unease, and loss. 

In hypnotherapy for cannabis addiction, we will focus on the mind and watch for the exact point when it turns to feelings of addiction and craving.
