How To Quit Smoking With Hypnosis Successfully Part I

September 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Are you frustrated with your efforts to quit smoking? Have you tried hypnosis? Over the last 20 years, experts have argued whether hypnosis can help smokers to quit smoking.

First, what is hypnosis? Well, it’s not mind control. If you think hypnosis can make you do things you don’t want to do, then you have an incorrect interpretation of hypnosis. Hypnosis if done correctly implants new behavior to your subconscious mind during your relaxed state. This does not mean that you are asleep when you are hypnotized. You are still conscious. The only difference is that your mind becomes highly focused and acceptable to new suggestions.

Hypnotism cannot make you quit smoking. You must want it bad enough for the hypnosis to work. If you’re doing it because your wife or children nag you to stop smoking, then hypnosis is bound to fail. It must be your reason. You want to kick this habit for yourself, not anyone else.

Hypnotists or hypnotherapists believe that smoking is not an addiction. Come to think about it, that makes sense. Do you know that nicotine will disappear from your body in three to four days? Yet, you still smoke. You are unable to overcome the psychological habit of being a smoker. The habit embeds itself in your subconscious mind and it unconsciously urges you to smoke. So even after you have stopped smoking, this embedded habit can slowly undo your efforts. In moments of stress, those nagging thoughts force you to pick up smoking again.

Hypnotherapy goes to the root of smoking: your desire. Hypnosis substitutes your smoking desire with healthier alternatives by implanting new compulsions. It also strengthens your desire and motivation to give up smoking. This is how hypnosis defeats the psychological addiction. Now you develop new habits of non-smokers.

If you worry about weight gain after stopping smoking, ask your hypnotherapist to plant new suggestions to avoid over eating and indulging in unhealthy diets.
