One session of hypnosis has helped many, many smokers become ex-smokers. Here’s how it works:
The qualified hypnotist understands that nicotine addiction is a strong addiction and that the smoking habit is a strong habit. Nevertheless, it is possible to stop smoking; literally millions of people have done so.
During the hypnosis session you are given suggestions that go directly to your unconscious mind and guide your future behavior. Those suggestions tell you that even though you think smoking helps you deal with stress, the truth is that nicotine is what creates that stress. Ex-smokers report that when they are back at work or in other situations that used to be stressful, they realize that it was the longing for a smoke that was bothering them far more than the interpersonal situation.
During the hypnosis session you are able to visualize yourself going through an entire day without a cigarette. You will see yourself in your house and then in your car, drinking coffee or drinking wine, talking on the phone or watching television, and the list goes on and on to include whatever you wish. When you are in the hypnotic state whatever you visualize becomes easy to attain.
One session of hypnosis for smoking cessation is almost always all you need. Either it works or it doesn’t work – and it usually does.
It helps to make a recording of your session and that way if you ever need reinforcement you simply play your recording; no need for another visit.
And, BTW, the average smoker has tried to stop 7 times before succeeding.
Good luck!
