Gambling Addiction Brisbane
Is gambling addiction that dizzying high-wire rush where each bet dangles the promise of salvation, only to plunge you into sinking dread, mounting debt, and a relentless urge to chase losses you can’t afford to lose?
FAQs
1. How does hypnotherapy help with gambling addiction?
Gambling addiction is driven by subconscious emotional patterns like escape, excitement, stress relief, and the hope of “fixing everything” in one win.
Clive’s award-winning hypnotherapy retrains these patterns so the urge loses its power and you regain self-control, clarity, and emotional stability.
2. Why is gambling so hard to stop?
Because gambling taps into dopamine, adrenaline, and emotional pain points.
Hypnotherapy targets the subconscious root of the cycle — breaking the emotional hooks that keep you trapped.
3. Can hypnotherapy reduce or stop gambling urges?
Yes.
Hypnosis helps weaken the emotional triggers and automatic impulses behind gambling, helping you feel calm, grounded, and in control even in high-temptation situations.
4. What if I gamble to escape stress or problems?
This is extremely common.
Clive helps you develop healthier coping strategies so you stop using gambling as an escape from stress, guilt, loneliness, or pressure.
5. How many sessions until I notice a change?
Many clients feel a shift within just a few sessions — the urge reduces, self-control increases, and clarity returns.
6. Can hypnotherapy help with online gambling addiction?
Absolutely.
Online gambling is designed to be addictive, but hypnosis helps you break those psychological loops and build strong inner discipline.
7. What if guilt or shame keeps me stuck in the cycle?
Shame fuels addiction.
Clive creates a safe, respectful environment where shame dissolves and empowerment replaces self-judgment.
8. Can hypnosis help if gambling has caused financial stress?
Yes.
Hypnotherapy helps rebuild self-control, discipline, and emotional stability, reducing the risk of financial setbacks repeating.
9. Does hypnotherapy help with the urge to “chase losses”?
Yes.
Chasing losses is a subconscious survival response.
Hypnosis rewires this belief, helping you stay calm, rational, and grounded instead of feeling desperate to “win it back.”
10. What if I gamble out of boredom or loneliness?
Hypnosis teaches your mind to respond to boredom and loneliness in healthy, productive ways so gambling no longer fills that emotional gap.
11. Can hypnotherapy help me rebuild trust with family or partners?
Yes.
As you gain control and stability, relationships naturally heal.
Clive also helps you develop stronger communication, honesty, and emotional presence.
12. What if I feel like I can’t stop no matter how much I promise myself?
That’s because the addiction lives in the subconscious, not in willpower.
Hypnotherapy changes the behaviour where it actually begins — giving you true control again.
13. Can hypnosis help reduce urges when I drive past casinos or see betting ads?
Yes.
Hypnotherapy weakens emotional triggers so external cues no longer pull you into gambling mode.
14. Does online hypnotherapy work for gambling addiction?
Yes — often even better.
You’re in your own environment, where triggers usually occur, making the change more immediate and realistic.
15. Can hypnotherapy help if my addiction is connected to anxiety or depression?
Absolutely.
Clive works at the emotional root — helping the mind regulate stress, fear, emptiness, or sadness without turning to gambling.
16. Can hypnosis help with compulsive betting on sports, pokies, casinos, or apps?
Yes.
No matter the form, the subconscious addiction mechanism is the same — and hypnosis helps break it.
17. What if gambling gives me a sense of excitement or purpose?
Hypnotherapy helps create natural confidence, meaning, and fulfilment so you no longer rely on risky behaviour to feel alive or valuable.
18. Can hypnotherapy help me avoid relapse?
Yes.
Clive strengthens emotional resilience, discipline, and subconscious stability, reducing the chance of returning to old patterns.
19. Will I be judged during sessions?
Never.
Clive provides a compassionate, confidential, judgment-free space where healing feels safe, supportive, and empowering.
20. How does hypnotherapy create long-term freedom from gambling addiction?
By helping the subconscious:
Break emotional dependence on gambling
Release the urge to escape through risk
Stop chasing losses
Strengthen discipline and self-control
Heal shame, anxiety, and emotional pain
Build healthy new habits and coping strategies
Restore confidence, clarity, and balance
You don’t just stop gambling —
you become someone who feels strong, calm, confident, and fully in control of your life again.

Gambling Addiction Hypnotherapy Study
Study / Evidence
I did not find any strong, high-quality randomized controlled trials that test hypnotherapy alone for gambling addiction.
Some hypnotherapy practitioners and clinics claim that hypnosis can help by targeting the subconscious, reframing beliefs (e.g. “I can win it all back”), reducing urges, and strengthening willpower. Clear Minds+3thehypnosisclinic.com+3R E V E R I+3
Some sources suggest combining hypnotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (or “enhanced CBT”) to improve outcomes. mihh.com.au+2bircheshealth.com+2
Hypnotherapy directories note that the therapist works to access the unconscious, identify triggers, alter negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with gambling. Hypnotherapy Directory
Some articles claim earlier studies (e.g. in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis) showed participants having reductions in compulsive behaviors when hypnosis was used in addiction settings including gambling, but detail and methodological quality are unclear. Atlanta Hypnotherapy Clinic -+1
Hypnotherapy overviews caution: there is no guarantee that just one session will fix gambling addiction, and success depends strongly on factors like underlying emotional issues, motivation, and combining with other therapies. bircheshealth.com+2Clear Minds+2
Conclusion
The evidence for hypnotherapy as a standalone treatment for gambling addiction is weak or inconclusive.
Hypnotherapy may help as a complementary tool—for instance, working on subconscious beliefs, emotional triggers, impulse control, and mental rehearsal of resisting urges.
For better chances of success, hypnotherapy should ideally be integrated with other evidence-based treatments (like CBT, counseling, support groups).
The effectiveness also likely depends on client motivation, the skill of the hypnotherapist, and treating underlying issues (e.g. anxiety, depression).
More rigorous clinical trials are needed to know whether hypnotherapy can be reliably recommended in treating gambling addiction.
