Quit Smoking with Hypnosis: Does it Work?
According to some recent research, there is a 25% rate of success for people who undergo hypnosis as a method to quit smoking. Does hypnosis really help smokers quit? According to studies, the answer is yes.
So what exactly is hypnosis and how can it help? Hypnosis encourages your subconscious mind to be receptive to suggestions in a relaxed environment. In this state, the subconcious is more open to suggestions made by the hypnotherapist.
Will hypnosis actually work? The answer is yes, according to most hypnotherapists, provided you do it right. After several hypnosis sessions and with a strong desire by the individual to quit smoking, the rate of success can be anywhere from 66% to 95%.
The myth surrounding hypnosis is that an individual under hypnosis becomes unconscious or prone to act out commands directed by the hypnotist. And it is just that, a myth. This scenario is more theatrical and can be seen on TV shows and in nightclub acts. Real hypnosis allows the individual to become fully conscious but in a relaxed state. The subconscious is then receptive to the directions given by the hypnotherapist.
Put another way, half the battle is a strong commitment to quit smoking. The hypnotherapists uses keywords to plant suggestions in the subconscious: it’s easy to quit smoking, you don’t really feel the need for a cigarette, you no longer choose to smoke.
Hypnotherapists claim that hypnosis can be a success for almost everyone. This is a safe and effective method wherein you can end a session at any given moment. Unlike what many believe, you don’t go to sleep; you are totally cognizant of anything the hypnotist says.
Ultimately, you should consider giving hypnosis a try; just be sure you are highly motivated to quit smoking. As your subconscious responds to the hypnotist’s suggestions, your craving to smoke should gradually diminish after a few sessions. In the end, you’ll realize that cigarette smoking is a filthy, repugnant habit.
Is it possible that someone who had success with hypnosis breaks down and starts smoking again? Yes, this happens from time to time. However, some hypnotherapists can provide ongoing help for these individuals.
If the desire to quit is there, and the subconscious is open to suggestions to quit smoking, hypnosis can be an alternative to gums, patches, and medications. The key is to find a hypnotherapist who has a proven track record, is highly qualified, and will work with you to achieve this goal.
