Gambling Problem? We Can Help.

In America alone, problem gambling affects more than 15 million people. More than 3 million of these are considered severe problem gamblers, otherwise known as gambling addicts.

Problem gambling can strain your relationships, interfere with responsibilities at home and work, and lead to financial catastrophe. It may even lead you to do things you never thought possible, like stealing money to gamble or taking money meant for your children.

Now that Maryland has legalized casinos, we are now seeing the growth of a number of legal gambling venues akin to those in Delaware, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas. The slots located Hollywood Casino Perryville, Maryland Live! at Arundel Mills, and Ocean Downs in Berlin add to the already established horse racing gambling activities at Pimlico, Laurel Park, and others locations. With this growth, we are likely to see an increase in gambling problems.

Individuals who suffer from gambling problems may think they can't stop, but the Sanders Hypnosis Center of Maryland can help you. If you're ready to admit you have a problem and seek help, we can help you overcome your gambling problem and regain control of your life.

Myths About Problem Gambling
MYTH: You have to gamble every day to be a problem gambler.
FACT: A problem gambler may gamble frequently or infrequently. Gambling is a problem if it causes problems.
MYTH: Problem gambling is not really a problem if the gambler can afford it.
FACT: Problems caused by excessive gambling are not just financial. Too much time spent on gambling can lead to relationship breakdown and loss of important friendships.
MYTH: Partners of problem gamblers often drive problem gamblers to gamble.
FACT: Problem gamblers often rationalize their behavior. Blaming others is one way to avoid taking responsibility for their actions, including what is needed to overcome the problem.
MYTH: If a problem gambler builds up a debt, you should help them take care of it.
FACT: Quick fix solutions may appear to be the right thing to do. However, bailing the gambler out of debt may actually make matters worse by enabling gambling problems to continue.

Are You Battling Cancer? We Can Help!

WHAT IS A CANCER? In very simple terms, cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases in which cells in a part of the body begin to grow out of control. Although there are many kinds of cancer, they all start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and even death.

The National Cancer Society said that hypnosis may be useful for treating chronic pain and may be effective in reducing fear and anxiety, reducing the frequency and severity of headaches, controlling bleeding and pain, and may improve quality of life for some people with cancer.

The Sanders Hypnosis Center of Maryland uses a four-way approach to aid cancer patients.

The first type of session helps the cancer patient address the symptoms that they are experiencing from their particular type of cancer. Many times the actual treatment can produce many negative symptoms that hypnosis can help eliminate or decrease.

The second way that hypnosis helps is by creating positive expectations of the future.

The third type of hypnosis sessions deals with the emotional issues that are present in every cancer patient. Although cancer is attacking the physical body, the mental outlook must also be treated.

Finally, the fourth element, and perhaps the most important, is dealing with the self-healing abilities of the clients.

In many cases, we can travel to medical facilities or hospices throughout the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan area.
