Internet Addiction Brisbane.
Is internet addiction that endless, twitchy scroll where each new link sparks a fleeting thrill, yet the hours slip by in a blur of tabs while real-life connections fade into a restless digital haze you can’t quite escape?
FAQs
1. How does hypnotherapy help with internet addiction?
Internet addiction is driven by subconscious emotional habits — escape, instant gratification, stress relief, or avoidance.
Clive’s award-winning hypnotherapy helps retrain the subconscious so you regain control, balance, and freedom from compulsive online behaviour.
2. Why do I go online even when I know I should stop?
Because your subconscious has learned to use the internet as comfort or distraction.
Hypnosis rewrites these patterns, making it easier to choose healthy behaviour over automatic scrolling.
3. Can hypnotherapy reduce my urge to constantly check the internet?
Absolutely.
Hypnosis calms the emotional triggers that drive online impulses, helping you feel more present, focused, and disciplined.
4. Why does internet use feel addictive?
Because online content activates dopamine reward loops.
Hypnotherapy helps break these subconscious loops and rebuild healthier habits.
5. How many sessions will I need to see improvement?
Most clients feel a shift within a few sessions — less compulsive checking, calmer mind, stronger discipline.
6. Can hypnosis help with emotional triggers behind excessive internet use?
Yes — emotional triggers such as boredom, loneliness, anxiety, or stress often fuel internet addiction.
Hypnotherapy helps heal these deeper patterns so you don’t rely on the internet to cope.
7. What if I use the internet to escape real-life problems?
Hypnosis helps you develop emotional resilience and confidence so you no longer need the internet as your “escape button.”
8. Can hypnosis help with late-night internet use or sleep problems?
Definitely.
Hypnotherapy helps your mind unwind, reducing the urge to stay online and helping you fall asleep faster.
9. Will hypnotherapy force me to stop using the internet completely?
No — unless that’s what you want.
The goal is healthy control, not deprivation.
You choose when and how you use the internet.
10. Can hypnotherapy help with focus and productivity?
Yes.
As your subconscious stops seeking constant stimulation, your concentration increases and distractions lose their power.
11. What if I feel ashamed of my screen habits?
Many people do.
Clive provides a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental environment where shame is replaced with understanding and empowerment.
12. Does hypnotherapy help teenagers or adults with internet addiction?
Yes.
Both teens and adults can benefit from increased self-control, emotional regulation, and healthier digital habits.
13. What if I feel anxious when I’m away from the internet?
Hypnosis reduces withdrawal anxiety and builds inner calm so you can feel comfortable being offline.
14. Can hypnotherapy help with social media addiction?
Absolutely.
Hypnosis specifically targets the emotional hooks of likes, notifications, comparison, and overstimulation.
15. What if my internet use is affecting my relationships or work?
Clive helps rebuild balance, discipline, and emotional awareness so your life feels more connected and less consumed by screens.
16. Does online hypnotherapy work for internet addiction?
Yes — and often even better, because it happens in the environment where the addiction normally occurs, giving you immediate real-world control.
17. What if I rely on the internet for comfort or companionship?
Hypnosis helps strengthen inner security and emotional stability so you no longer depend on the online world to feel okay.
18. Can hypnotherapy help me break habits like endless YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, or browsing?
Yes.
Hypnosis reprograms the subconscious urge to seek quick dopamine fixes and creates more balanced behaviour.
19. What if I’ve tried screen limits and self-control but nothing works?
Conscious methods often fail because internet addiction lives in the subconscious.
Hypnotherapy changes the patterns where they actually exist — making long-term success possible.
20. How does hypnotherapy create long-term freedom from internet addiction?
By teaching your subconscious to:
Release emotional dependence on the internet
Reduce cravings for stimulation
Increase discipline and self-control
Strengthen emotional resilience
Build healthier coping strategies
Feel calm, focused, and grounded
With Clive’s guidance, you stop feeling controlled by the internet — and finally feel in control of your life again.

Internet Addiction Hypnotherapy Study
Study / Evidence
A recent systematic review of hypnosis-based treatments for Internet Addiction Disorder found no published trials meeting rigorous inclusion criteria; in other words, there is currently no strong clinical evidence supporting hypnotherapy for internet addiction. researchsquare.com
The review did note that hypnosis has been studied more in related domains (e.g. stress, anxiety), and that some practitioners propose it might help via altering subconscious associations, impulse control, or emotional triggers. researchsquare.com
Broader reviews of interventions for Internet Addiction / Problematic Internet Use show that non-pharmacological treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, group counseling, educational interventions and combined therapies have some evidence of effectiveness. However, hypnosis was not among the well-studied treatments in these reviews. Frontiers+1
Conclusion
At present, hypnotherapy for internet addiction remains more theoretical than evidence-based. There is no high-quality clinical trial demonstrating its effectiveness, so it should be viewed as an experimental or adjunct approach at best. More rigorous, controlled studies are needed before hypnotherapy can be reliably recommended for internet addiction.
