How is Gambling so addictive?The seeds of gambling usually start quite innocently. However, Neil believes that Gambling companies use very clever psychological techniques to make people slowly become more and more addicted over time. These methods usually start with a free gift to sign up. These gambling companies even use computer programmes to issue smaller wins to the user in the early stages, creating a release of happy hormones in the brain.
People then begin to "chase" this positive feeling while often losing track of time. Then because the user always loses more than they win over time, they can become addicted to trying to reclaim their loses by betting more and more money. Gambling can then take over a persons mind. |
There are 2 parts to the Human brain. These are known as the Conscious and Subconscious minds. We can fully control conscious functions, like thinking logically. The subconscious mind controls automatic bodily functions and emotions. We do NOT have direct control of the subconscious, and unfortunately it is the addictive part of the mind. When a person wants to stop gambling, it can be an internal battle within the mind. One moment the person is consciously wanting to stop. But the subconscious mind keeps drawing the addict back to the addiction.
Hypnotherapy works by making the subconscious mind want to stop the addiction. This is a very powerful method and the changes can be permanent. However, it is important that a person is 100% committed to wanting to quit the addiction. |
