5 ways that hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you to stop smoking?

Make no mistake; hypnosis is an extremely powerful tool for changing behaviours. So how does that work when we apply hypnosis to solving the powerful habit of cigarette smoking addiction?

Firstly; I understand that you’re perhaps just a wee bit sceptical about this; that’s not at all unusual – many people are initially sceptical about hypnotherapy.

Secondly; its important to emphasise that you wouldn’t be listening to or reading this unless you though that maybe there was a chance that hypnosis and hypnotherapy could do something to help you crack your smoking problem - or maybe its the problem of someone close to you that your thinking of. So let me explain how it works:

• With Hypnosis we can help by changing your deep unconscious motivations to smoke. Why did you get smoking in the first place, how did it serve you then and does it still serve you now?

• Hypnotherapy can help you change the habits and associations that drive your smoking behaviour. These habits are powerful and pull you along like a bull with a ring through its nose, yanking you along where you don’t want to be going – towards an early grave if you don’t quit.

• Hypnotherapy can also help you to change your beliefs about smoking. You haven’t always believed that you need to smoke. You haven’t always believed that you can’t manage this situation or that situation without smoking. Beliefs are powerful motivators and when they are changed, the new beliefs are just as powerful as the old beliefs. I have met many smokers that believe they can’t even get through an hour unless they smoke at least one cigarette. Imagine how it would be if, by changing your belief system so you no longer believed that you were a smoker, in fact you now believed that you were a non smoker – how powerful a change would that be.

• Often smokers have a love hate relationship with their cigarettes. By using hypnosis the hypnotherapist can help you become quite neutral about smoking.

• You can also think of smoking as a coping behaviour. Using Hypnotherapy as therapists we can help you to learn new healthier coping skills so that you no longer need a cigarette during stressful or times of high emotion. With these new attitudes and tools, getting through the first couple of days of the chemical side of the addiction is usually much easier. Dealing with both the chemical and the psychological addiction is the real key to long-term smoking cessation. With a good plan, some new tools and new attitudes about smoking, you can learn how to change your destructive smoking habits and deal with the emotional strains of life in a more healthy way - free from cigarettes.
