Research evidence emphasises how important relationships are to wellbeing (Barry, 2020). When things go wrong, it can bring a world of hurt (e.g. Barry & Liddon, 2020), but the good news is that hypnotherapy can help to fix relationship issues.

You are not defined forever by your past, but it can be really helpful to realise when problems with relationships as an adult can stem from problems with relationships in the past. Once the root of the problem is identified, you can use hypnotherapy to help fix the root of the problem. It's less trouble to put right than you might think.

Sometimes the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviours a person develops from childhood are repeated in adulthood. It is usual for people with such experiences to find themselves with various problems, such as anger management issues, substance abuse, depression, and may seek hypnotherapy for anxiety or stress-related issues. 

Although some people look for stress management programmes to deal with these issues, one of the best methods is hypnotherapy. Through my work I developed a programme that helps resolve adult relationships by healing childhood attachment issues (Barry, 2012). This programme has been published in a peer-reviewed journal and I would encourage other therapists to use this technique.
