Cannabis Psychosis and Hypnotherapy: Understanding the Risks and Finding Recovery

The number of people in the UK experiencing cannabis-related psychosis has risen sharply in recent years. What was once seen as a mild or “natural” relaxant has, for some, become a trigger for serious mental health difficulties.

At the West Midlands Hypnotherapy Centre, we provide specialist hypnotherapy for cannabis addiction, anxiety, and psychosis recovery, helping clients to regain control, confidence, and emotional balance in a calm and confidential setting.

What Is Cannabis Psychosis?

Cannabis psychosis occurs when cannabis use triggers symptoms such as paranoia, hallucinations, confusion, or delusional thinking. This is most likely to happen when people use high-strength cannabis products (such as “skunk”), start using at a young age, or use it daily.

Studies published in The Lancet Psychiatry show that daily users of high-potency cannabis are five times more likely to experience psychosis than non-users. Even after the acute episode has passed, many individuals struggle with ongoing anxiety, low mood, or fear of relapse.

Why Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy is a safe, evidence-informed approach that can support recovery from cannabis psychosis and help prevent relapse. It works with both the conscious and subconscious mind to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits, and promote emotional resilience.

At our centre, sessions are individually tailored using a blend of Ericksonian hypnotherapy, solution-focused therapy, and guided relaxation techniques.

1. Reducing Anxiety and Paranoia

Hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system and lower stress responses. Clients learn powerful relaxation strategies they can use in daily life, reducing the need for cannabis as a coping mechanism.

2. Breaking the Habit of Cannabis Use

Hypnosis can strengthen motivation and resolve, helping clients replace cannabis use with healthy coping skills. By reprogramming subconscious patterns, the desire to smoke or use becomes less frequent and easier to resist.

3. Restoring Confidence and Inner Stability

After psychosis, many people fear it could happen again. Hypnotherapy helps rebuild trust in one’s mind, body, and emotions, reinforcing a sense of calm self-control and stability.

4. Creating a Healthier Identity

Recovery often involves seeing oneself in a new light – as someone capable of peace, clarity, and confidence without substances. Hypnotherapy supports this transition by helping clients visualise and internalise a positive, balanced self-image.

Hypnotherapy as Part of a Holistic Approach

We always encourage clients to maintain communication with their GP or mental health professional. Hypnotherapy works best as part of a comprehensive recovery plan, complementing medical and psychological care.

Through this integrated approach, clients often report improvements in sleep, focus, motivation, and emotional stability within a few sessions.

In Summary

The rise in cannabis psychosis is a growing public health concern – but with the right help, recovery is absolutely possible.

At the West Midlands Hypnotherapy Centre, we specialise in helping people overcome cannabis dependence, substance-related anxiety, and psychosis recovery using safe, confidential, and effective hypnotherapy.

If you or someone you care about has struggled with cannabis-related anxiety or psychosis, you don’t have to face it alone.
With the right support, you can regain peace of mind and rebuild your life with confidence.

  The Gentle Power: How Children Can Benefit from Tai Chi and Qigong In today’s fast-paced, tech-saturated world, children are often bombarded with constant stimulation, academic pressures, and a myriad of extracurricular commitments. Amid this whirlwind, practices like Tai Chi and Qigong offer a refreshing, grounding alternative that can significantly support a child’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. While often associated with older adults, these ancient Chinese practices are remarkably beneficial for children too. Their gentle, flowing movements, deep breathing, and focus on inner calm make them ideal for young minds and bodies navigating the demands of growing up. What Are Tai Chi and Qigong? Tai Chi is a form of martial art that focuses on slow, controlled movements and balance, often described as “meditation in motion.” Qigong , on the other hand, is an even older practice that combines movement, breathing techniques, and visualisation to cultivate and balance ...

Title: Moving from the Inside Out: Understanding Motivation in Tai Chi & Qigong for Chronic Conditions By Mark Peters When supporting people with chronic medical conditions to begin or maintain an active lifestyle, one of the most important—yet often overlooked—factors is motivation . Not just whether someone is motivated, but why they are. In the world of health behaviour change, we often distinguish between two types of motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic . Both can play a role in encouraging participation in activities like Tai Chi and Qigong , but the balance between them often determines long-term success, especially for those managing ongoing health challenges. Extrinsic Motivation: Starting from the Outside Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards or pressures . For example: A doctor recommends more exercise. A physiotherapist sets a rehab goal. A family member signs someone up for a class. There's a certificate or prize at the end. Soc...
