subject: Quit Smoking With Hypnosis - Get Control At The Subconscious Level [print this page] Are you considering hypnotherapy to stop smoking? A lot of smokers struggle
every day with quitting. There are many potential ways to quit and many people
have tried them all. They begin with the cold turkey method. However, the
nicotine often wins the battle and they light up again. They turn to the gum or
patches next. That helps. However, when they try to go off them, the cravings
still nag at them. Eventually, they win the battle and the person lights up
again. After time, some give up all together and resign themselves to smoking
the rest of their lives. However, it is possible to quit smoking with hypnosis.
Why use hypnotherapy to stop smoking? Nicotine works on the pleasure centers of
the brain. The brain becomes addicted to this sensation. The craving becomes
both physical and psychological. Reaching for the pack and lighter becomes an
ingrained habit. That combination of factors makes it difficult to break the
habit. To combat this combination, hypnotherapy seeks to reach the part of the
brain beyond the thinking boundaries. The idea is to make smoking very
unattractive at the subconscious layer. It helps to break the cycle a smoker
goes through each time they light up. This makes it possible to quit smoking
with hypnosis.
Using hypnotherapy to stop smoking should be part of a larger program. Many
people use this as a tool along with patches or gum. It may take multiple
sessions to conquer the cravings for nicotine. Some people still have cravings,
but learn to control the urges. That is the beauty of trying to quit smoking
with hypnosis. By dealing with the subconscious, the hypnotherapist helps plant
suggestions that give the conscious mind more control over the nicotine
addiction. Many find relief after only a session or two.
Using hypnotherapy to stop smoking is a viable option for many people. Dont
think that the hypnotherapist will lock you in a dark room and make you stare at
a spinning pinwheel or a swinging watch. Sessions are not like the movies or
television portray. They are relaxing experiences for the most part. The idea is
to break down natural barriers to the subconscious. Some people cannot be
hypnotized due to strong psychological barriers. However, the majority of
individuals can. Some studies say that 66% of those hypnotized stop smoking.
That is why so many choose to quit smoking with hypnosis.
