Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy
Addiction to tobacco is more psychological than physical, if you had to fly on a plane for 11 hours without smoking, you would be able to because your subconscious accepts the fact and does not promote the habit until all the barriers are out of the way
If you don't want to stop smoking, but have been told to by a doctor then I'm afraid hypnotherapy won't help you. If you've made the decision to stop, this helps any barriers left. Many people each day give up smoking without any aids, showing it can be done, it just depends on how much you want to give up, and what you are prepared to put up with. Most who give up without any aids say they just need to be more careful in certain situations. Being mindful about the times you're most vulnerable certainly helps, and you can avoid the situations.
The part of the brain that promotes the smoking, is also responsible for negative emotions, so someone highly stressed or has problems dealing with emotional issues may turn to smoking as a way to help calm them down. Unfortunately it does the opposite. Smoking will create high blood pressure as the body thinks it's in danger and turns on the fight or flight mechanism. If you have tried giving up many times then looking at your lifestyle and stress levels will certainly help.
How many sessions will I need for stop smoking?
Many hypnotherapists work from a one off 2 hour session, however I have found that is more effective if the person has had hypnotherapy before. Anyone who is a bit nervous, I find doing 1 hour consultation and relaxation, followed a week later by the stop smoking is more effective as people take time to get used to being in the trance state.
Please bear this in mind when you come to book a stop smoking session.
