The Path Back: Hypnosis for Addiction Recovery

This recording is based on the book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction" by Dr. Gabor Maté, which offers a profound exploration of addiction, trauma, pain, emotional loss, and the human condition.

Addiction—whether to drugs, food, work, or shopping—is not a result of moral failure or weak will. Instead, it serves as a coping mechanism for unresolved emotional wounds and early-life trauma. Maté emphasizes that healing requires compassion rather than punishment, and that understanding the biopsychosocial roots of addiction is essential for real change.

The tone of this hypnosis reflects themes of compassion, human connection, and healing from trauma and addiction. This hypnosis recording is intended for people affected by substance use or any behavioural addictions, unresolved trauma, or social marginalization. It is also suitable for those drawn to spiritual and metaphorical frameworks that describe compulsive desire and the modern psychological states of emptiness.
