Hypnotherapy Can Help You Quit Smoking
I work with clients that have a strong desire to quit smoking. The reason
that hypnosis works is because it deals with the way we think and connects
our thoughts to a familiar pattern of behavior.
Smoking is a learned behavior and an automatic response which becomes a
habit. We all know that smoking is highly addictive because it affects
the 'feel good' chemicals in the brain, some of which create the
feelings of pleasure and reward. Those alone are a formidable opponent
to the desire to quit. Hypnosis can help to change patterns of thinking.
It can redirect the smoker into a healthier behavior.
By using the calm state of hypnosis the new ideas are more easily accepted,
such as the benefits of quitting and the hazards of not quitting. Now
since a hypnotherapist can't make you do anything that you don't
want to do, reinforcement is very important to support the desire to be
a nonsmoker. That is why I like to include a custom recording to be downloaded
at home with my smoking cessation sessions.
