Approach
Four stages to genuinely get free of an addiction
Decode what it does for you, switch your inner resources back on, release the emotions holding you back, build new rituals — with six proven tools.
The four stages
Decode the functions
Work out which needs the addiction is trying to meet, and what is blocking natural access to those states.
Switch the resources on
Learn to generate those states from the inside through interactive hypnosis, so the addiction is no longer the supplier.
Release the emotions
Anxiety, trauma and self-criticism are eased with interactive hypnosis and the tools built into it: NLP, sophrology, mindfulness.
New rituals
The addiction is replaced for good by habits you have chosen, and risky situations are handled with new strategies.
Six tools to get there
Each one has a precise job. Together they cover the mechanics, the emotions and the moment of acting.
Interactive hypnosis
Built on close to 10,000 hours of research and tested with several hundred people. Where guided imagery, NLP, sophrology and mindfulness meet. You stay active and aware: the images come from your own memories and imagination — deeper, and easier to reproduce on your own. Unlike passive Ericksonian hypnosis, there is no script that says nothing to you, and no dependence on the therapist's keys.
Needs-centred coaching
Leaving an addiction is often a change of identity. Drawing on Covey, Cameron, Sinek and Frankl: pin down the needs, measure the gap, turn thin pleasures into rich ones, and commit to concrete actions that fill the gap another way.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Spot automatic and permissive thoughts, identify risky situations through visualisation, build new strategies that fit your personality, then adjust until the risk is gone.
NLP
Observe emotions as phenomena, put some distance between you and them, choose a response that is not automatic. Woven into the hypnosis sessions to ease trauma, anxiety and grief.
Guided mindfulness
Meeting what happens as an observer — like Times Square seen from the nineteenth floor. Regulating anger and anxiety, getting out of negative thinking, recovering clarity and creativity, and gradually becoming your own therapist.
Nonviolent communication
Preparing how you will express your needs and limits to the people around you, by rehearsing the conversation in a risk-free setting. Asking for exactly the support that makes the change work.
What the people I work with say
“Antoine pinned down my needs very quickly. Working by video is absolutely no obstacle. Verbal tools, yes, but above all concrete actions.”
“Practical strategies that are easy to put in place. I cannot recommend him enough for reconnecting with your emotions and your needs.”
