subject: The Benefits Of Stop Smoking Hypnosis And How It Works [print this page] For some, hypnosis is a myth of science that people claim works, when really it's likely a placebo effect and the people overcome their addictions on their own. However, thousands of people vouch for it, so whether it works in this way or not, it does work for some. With up to fifteen times more success than willpower alone, studies have shown it's not all just smoke and mirrors. Below is some info on stop smoking hypnosis.
The state of increased suggestibility is the result of a successful hypnosis session and it leaves the individual option to positive suggestions in order to improve their lifestyle. The conscious shuts down for a while, during which the subconscious becomes more susceptible to suggestion. In this state, it's possible to change behavior, beliefs and emotional responses all in the name of helping the patient.
Hypnotherapists help many people quit smoking and success is highly likely. They can help one overcome the feeling of addiction and helplessness, not just for the smoking, but also for other problems. Using every technique possible, they will aid the breaking of 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.
With studies adding up to around 72,000 individual cases, it has been shown that hypnosis has incredible success rates over other methods. Over willpower, it has up to ten times more success, while nicotine replacement therapy doesn't even come close.
As you can see, hypnosis provides a quick, yet thorough, solution to breaking the addiction and has been proven to be highly successful in thousands of patients. After you have stopped smoking, you'll notice the effects of the cigarette start wearing off, though sometimes it may take up to a year to fully recover. You'll notice more energy, a better sense of taste and smell, stronger breathing and some other effects include increased circulation and decreased infection rates as well as the risks of stroke and heart attack halving.
