For many, hypnosis may be a last resort. Whatever you have tried, willpower, nicotine replacement therapy or even acupuncture, they all fell short of what you needed to quit. Perhaps you’ve been smoking for years and fear for your health or perhaps you’ve seen what it can do to other people, maybe members of your family. Hypnosis uses the power of suggestion to increase success rates by up to fifteen times, some studies have shown. Stop smoking hypnosis is a credible option, below is some information.
Inducing a state to where the conscious mind quietens down and the subconscious becomes susceptible to suggestion is what hypnosis is about. This state is defined as the state of increased suggestibility. The hypnotherapist can use this state to implant positive suggestions and help the patient change their way of thinking about the whole situation, creating more positive options for them by changing behavior, beliefs and even emotional responses to adequately suit them.
The addiction does take control of people and they find that the decision to stop smoking has been taken away from them. The nicotine and positive feelings they have attached with smoking make it a difficult habit to break, which is why many turn to hypnotherapists to help them stop the habit.
The hypnotherapist will first of all give you an interview, either face-to-face or over the phone, to determine your current situation, whether there’s any recent stress in your life. This serves the purpose of tailoring the sessions to suit you, as each hypnosis session is different to everyone else’s. Following this interview, there will be an actual hypnosis session, in which the hypnotherapist will try a number of techniques until one ‘clicks’ and works well with your psyche. Using the power of suggestion, he will essentially ‘rewire’ your thinking so that you believe you can live without cigarettes, no matter what.
Following this session, you should experience a steady break in habit. For many, only one session is necessary and the hypnotherapists will offer support over the phone and some many provide self-hypnosis CDs to listen to should you be struggling. Future sessions may be made should, for some reason, the first not have worked.
Studies of around 72,000 individual cases have shown that hypnosis has astounding success rates. While willpower alone provides a success rate of only 6%, hypnosis showed rates of 60%, ten times more than just willpower.
After giving up smoking, you’ll notice a tremendous improvement in bodily functions, varying from increased energy and a better sense of taste and smell to improved circulation and a decreased rate of infection.
