Sex Addiction Hypnotherapy Brisbane
Is sex addiction that overpowering compulsion where desire blurs into obsession, each fleeting encounter offering momentary release yet deepening emptiness, guilt, and the relentless hunt for the next fix?
FAQs
1. How does hypnotherapy help with sex addiction?
Sex addiction is rarely about desire — it’s a subconscious attempt to escape stress, emptiness, anxiety, or emotional pain.
Clive’s award-winning hypnotherapy helps heal these root patterns so you can feel calm, balanced, and in control of your behaviour again.
2. Why do I feel compulsive urges even when I don’t want to act on them?
Because your subconscious mind has learned to use sexual stimulation as relief.
Hypnosis rewires this emotional loop, reducing the intensity of urges and giving you choice instead of compulsion.
3. Can hypnotherapy reduce or stop compulsive sexual behaviour?
Yes.
Hypnosis is powerful for compulsive behaviours because it works directly with the subconscious — the part of the mind that drives habits and impulses.
4. Is sex addiction a sign of something “wrong” with me?
No.
It’s a coping mechanism — not a character flaw.
Hypnotherapy helps you understand the emotional pain beneath the behaviour with compassion, not judgment.
5. Will I lose my normal sexual desire after hypnotherapy?
No.
Clive’s approach removes compulsion, not healthy sexuality.
You keep a natural, balanced sex drive — free from impulsivity or guilt.
6. What if I use sex or pornography to avoid emotions?
That is extremely common.
Hypnosis helps heal loneliness, stress, shame, boredom, or emotional overwhelm so the need to escape fades.
7. How long does it take to see results?
Many clients feel relief early — reduced urges, clearer thinking, stronger discipline — often within a few sessions.
8. Does hypnotherapy help with compulsive pornography use?
Yes.
Porn addiction and sex addiction share the same subconscious cycle, and hypnosis can break both patterns by calming emotional triggers and rewiring reward pathways.
9. What if trauma or past experiences influence my behaviour?
Clive works in a trauma-informed, safe, and gentle way.
You never have to relive trauma — healing happens through calm, subconscious emotional release.
10. Can hypnotherapy help repair relationships affected by sex addiction?
Yes.
As you regain control and emotional stability, trust, communication, and connection naturally improve.
11. Will I need to talk about explicit details?
No.
You only share what feels comfortable.
Sessions focus on emotions, triggers, patterns, and healing — never explicit content.
12. Can hypnosis help with urges during loneliness or boredom?
Absolutely.
Hypnotherapy teaches your mind to respond with healthier emotional strategies so compulsive urges lose their grip.
13. What if I feel guilty, ashamed, or out of control?
Shame fuels addiction.
Clive provides a private, non-judgmental, compassionate space where shame dissolves and genuine healing begins.
14. Can hypnotherapy help with hypersexuality or constantly thinking about sex?
Yes.
Hypnosis calms mental overactivity and rebalances the subconscious so thoughts become quieter, clearer, and more controlled.
15. Does online hypnotherapy work for sex addiction?
Yes — often even better.
Clients feel safer and more open discussing sensitive topics from home.
16. What if I feel addicted to the “rush” more than the act itself?
Hypnotherapy helps regulate your nervous system and emotional pathways so the craving for excitement, novelty, or escape reduces.
17. Can hypnotherapy help with impulse control and discipline?
Definitely.
Hypnosis strengthens self-control, mental clarity, boundaries, and emotional stability — all essential for breaking addiction cycles.
18. What if my addiction is linked to anxiety or depression?
Hypnosis helps soothe emotional overwhelm and rebuild a calmer, more resilient inner world — reducing the need to self-medicate through sexual behaviour.
19. Will I relapse after hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy builds long-term subconscious strength, making relapse far less likely.
Clive also teaches emotional tools to keep you grounded and empowered.
20. How does hypnotherapy create lasting freedom from sex addiction?
By helping your subconscious:
Release emotional dependence on sexual behaviour
Reduce compulsive urges
Build inner calm and emotional resilience
Strengthen discipline and self-worth
Heal shame, guilt, and internal conflict
Rebuild healthy sexuality and boundaries
Restore balance, clarity, and control
You don’t just change a behaviour —
you become someone who feels strong, centred, confident, and fully in control of your life again.

Sex Addiction Hypnotherapy Study
Study / Evidence
A semi-experimental study in Iran examined cognitive hypnosis therapy (a mixture of hypnosis + cognitive techniques) on women, measuring effects on sexual desire and marital satisfaction. It found significant improvements in the treatment group compared to control. journal.uma.ac.ir
More broadly, in the clinical hypnosis literature, hypnosis is used in areas such as sexual dysfunction, trauma, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. But many of the reports are case studies or uncontrolled designs, rather than robust clinical trials. ishhypnosis.org+2SpringerLink+2
Hypnotherapy practitioners and clinics often promote using hypnosis to address underlying triggers, unconscious beliefs, impulse control, and to install alternative coping patterns for compulsive sexual behaviors (e.g. porn, hypersexuality) Meridian Peak Hypnosis+2Healing Soul Hypnosis+2
A network meta-analysis preprint (on ResearchSquare) looked at hypnosis in sexual trauma recovery (not exactly sex addiction but related) and found that cognitive-behavioral hypnosis showed strong effects on PTSD symptoms, and traditional hypnosis was more effective for reducing anxiety and improving intimate relationship quality. researchsquare.com
Conclusion
The evidence for hypnotherapy as a treatment for sex addiction is preliminary, limited, and not conclusive.
Some studies and practitioner reports suggest it might help by working on subconscious drivers, emotional triggers, shame, and impulse control.
But because most existing studies lack rigorous controls (randomization, blinding, long follow-up), we can’t reliably know how effective it is.
Hypnotherapy may be more appropriately viewed as an adjunctive tool (used alongside psychotherapy, behavioral interventions, counseling, possibly medication) rather than a standalone treatment.
If someone considers hypnotherapy for sex addiction, it’s wise to choose a qualified, ethical practitioner, use it within a comprehensive treatment plan, and monitor outcomes.
