Stopping Smoking with Hypnotherapy
Thousands of people every year manage to quit smoking with the aid
of a skilled hypnotherapist. Consider the benefits -
better health, better tasting food, more money - the list goes on and on.
Hypnotherapy helps you release the immense power within yourself to
attain your aim, but before your treatment, there are a few things you should
know.
Most habit smokers can successfully stop after two sessions of
treatment, but remember, individuals do vary, and some cases take longer.
People whose smoking habit is the result of some deeper psychological need are
more difficult to treat, but again the ultimate success rate with hypnotherapy
is good.
At your initial consultation, the therapist will evaluate your
problem and its probable causes, and develop a course of treatment best suited
to your personal needs and personality and at this stage will best be able to
say how many sessions of therapy you will need.
Once the state of hypnosis has been induced (which is a very
comfortable, relaxing process) the therapist will work with you to remove your
need and desire to smoke. Many people find a very strong positive effect even
after their first session.
Remember that while 'under' hypnosis, you are completely in
control. You won't 'give away any secrets', and you can't be made to do
anything that you would not wish to. Here, perhaps, is a problem - maybe your
partner wants to to stop smoking, but in truth, you
do not. If that is the case, then we cannot help you!
Hypnotherapy is frequently successful when other methods fail, and
the only side effects are positive ones! For example, treatment is designed to
ensure that the craving for a cigarette is not replaced with a need to nibble
more, resulting in unwanted weight gain, and also to remove the often-felt need
for a cigarette after a meal or at social functions.
