Healing a Broken Heart

Question
Please let me know if hypnosis can help me forget a person I love dearly. I am desperate. Dear Del, I just broke up with my boyfriend and it is really hard on me and I was wondering if there is anyway that hypnosis can help me ease the pain I feel in my heart. I love him very much and feel as if I can't get over him. Dear Del, I recently was divorced but constantly think and dream about my ex-husband. I don't talk about him, but the thoughts and memories are driving me insane. Do you think hypnotherapy can rescue me from this insanity of the thoughts that are over-taking me?

Answer
Some hypnotherapists will claim they can help you forget. I won't claim it, nor would I want to. There can be good reasons for our pain in life, even though we might not agree, at the time we're feeling it. Hypnosis can, however, help you deal with your pain and have the relationship come to mean far less to you than it does now. I'm sorry for the hurt you are experiencing. Hypnosis can be very helpful in easing the pain of a broken heart or relationship that can no longer be. It can help sustain you through the grieving process until new "life" opens up to you. I would advise seeing a hypnotherapist who is also a counselor.
