You Can Quit Smoking With Hypnosis Using Nrt, Patches Or Gum Together.

Many people are directed to try Nicotine Replacement Therapy or NRT in an effort to quit smoking; however the success rate is actually relatively low

. Other people may feel they are weak somehow if they use NRT at all and often ask if it is ok to use NRT and have hypnosis together. Really it is up to the individual. Everyone is different and while it is quite possible to quit using hypnosis alone, you can us both at once.

Recent research suggests that NRT might be more effective if used in combination with hypnosis to stop smoking, in the same way that NRT appears to work better when used in conjunction with professional counselling.

The study showed that using hypnosis combined with NRT to help smokers quit smoking is as effective as using behavioural counselling when helping smokers to quit and stay quit for one year. This is more much-needed evidence that hypnosis is indeed a very useful treatment.

During hypnosis to stop smoking, patients are assisted into a relaxed state and then provided with a series of suggestions and skills for coping with any potential withdrawal symptoms or urges to smoke. Clients may also be given a recording of their session to listen to at home, further reinforcing the suggestions and assisting them to remain a non-smoker.

In the study mentioned above, hypnosis was particularly helpful for subjects who had reported a history of depression. This is promising and encourages further research in this area. Ideally hypnosis could replace other more intrusive drug therapies. The great thing about hypnosis is that is drug free and has no side effects.

Hypnosis may also be useful as a longer term strategy. Whilst many see smoking as simply a habit that can be changed, many medical practitioners see smoking as a chronic medical condition needing ongoing care, much like diabetes.

Their view is that most people begin smoking in adolescence and the habit tends to persist across their life span with the smoker having a number of periods of remission and relapse. While many smokers can quit easily, for others successful cessation may require ongoing intervention. With this in mind the question is this; if short term treatment for smoking cessation with hypnosis is helpful, there needs to be a focus on evaluating how much more effective hypnosis or behavioural counselling can be if subjects use these therapies over the longer term, e.g.12 months or more.

When you go to a hypnotherapist be mindful that whilst it is quite possible for people to quit in one session, it does not always happen. Check with your therapist and confirm that if you need further sessions then they are available. For best results you need to commit to the full process that is suitable to you. So many clients attend once and if they are not successful that time simply say It didnt work and walk away, even when they have been advised that it may take more than one session, AND a backup guarantee has been given at no further cost.

This does not show commitment or a real desire to do whatever it takes to become a non-smoker.

Above all a smoker must be committed.
