Introduction

This client struggled with a long-term gambling addiction, including slot machines and sports betting.
He described a deep, unexplainable emptiness that had followed him most of his life.

What We Discovered

Through hypnotherapy, two powerful root causes emerged:

1. Childhood Guilt

As a child, he and his friends destroyed a bird’s nest and crushed the eggs inside.
Although he had consciously forgotten about it, the guilt remained buried deep within him.
Processing this memory brought tremendous relief, as much of the heaviness lifted immediately.

2. Generational Beliefs About Money

Later, we uncovered a family pattern:
His father also struggled with gambling and financial instability.
The client had unconsciously absorbed destructive beliefs about money and self-worth, which fueled his addiction.

The Transformation

By processing and transforming these old wounds, the addictive urges dramatically weakened.
He then took practical steps to ensure lasting change:

  • Shared the truth with his parents and received their support,
  • Requested to be banned from gambling apps and casinos,
  • Installed a blocking app on his phone to prevent access to gambling sites.

Conclusion

Addictions often have deep emotional and generational roots.
Hypnotherapy helps uncover and heal these patterns, creating space for freedom and a healthier future.
