Quit Smoking
Most smokers developed the habit in their younger years. Despite the health risks, smell and cost, most people are unable to quit smoking without assistance. The more you repeat a behavior, the harder it is to quit. Consider this. If you have been smoking 2 packs a day, then you have repeated the bad behavior 20 times per day, 365 days per year. From this perspective it is clear why quitting smoking is more difficult than quitting some street drugs like Heroin and Cocaine.
Nicotine is out of your system within 3-4 days of quitting, yet you find yourself powerless to quit. The psychological addiction to cigarettes is quite powerful. With each passing year, smoking becomes permanently affixed to your subconscious mind. Smoking has been your coping mechanism to stress, hunger, happiness, etc. Your mind has created a linkage to the pleasurable effects that nicotine produces. Will power is not enough to quit, will power is a function on the logical part of the brain. Hypnosis will address the subconscious part of the brain, which is driving your addiction. It usually takes several hypnosis sessions to quit the habit long term, but the effects of quitting smoking begin within 20 minutes of the last cigarette. Within 10 years of not smoking, the lungs almost completely heal, even after years of smoking.
How can hypnosis help?
Thousands of clients successfully quit smoking through hypnotherapy each year. Hypnotherapy speaks to the subconscious mind and releases you from the habit and psychological need to smoke.
What is Hypnotherapy?
There are two applications to hypnotherapy. Suggestion therapy utilizes the power of suggestion in a hypnotic state to change behaviors. It helps people to stop smoking and eating fattening foods. Suggestion therapy is instrumental in treating chronic pain as it helps people change their perceptions on the pain itself.
Hypnotherapy also uses analysis in a hypnotic state to uncover the root cause of issues that a person is experiencing. The relaxed state enables the client to recall events from their unconscious memory, which may not be evident while in a non-hypnotic state. Using these two applications, the hypnotist is able to help the client resolve issues and overcome obstacles that they have been living with. Hypnotherapy is completely safe and very effective.
In hypnosis your conscious mind becomes less active, but you remain awake, At this point, your subconscious mind is especially receptive to suggestions. It is your subconscious mind that responds to suggestions and causes those suggestions to manifest themselves in your life. Your subconscious mind does what you tell it to do. The subconscious mind doesn’t think, reason or rationalize. It only follows instructions. Your conscious mind thinks, reasons, and rationalizes- and often argues against what you want. This is why the conscious mind needs to be relaxed and quieted, so it won’t argue against what you are instructing your conscious mind to do.
