Help to Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy in Brighton*
For many smokers who are trying to break the habit, the biggest hurdle can be during times of stress when they feel compelled to reach for a cigarette. For those seeking help to stop smoking with Hypnotherapy in Brighton at the Conway Practice, Jonathan takes a holistic approach to not only the stress factor but all reasons as to why you first began to smoke and why you now find it difficult to give up to become a non smoker.*
It’s unlikely that you simply went out and bought your first packet of cigarettes without first being offered one by friends, or you tried the odd one or two as a teenager when family members were smoking at home. That first purchase however may have set you on a path to addiction in adulthood that is now proving extremely difficult to break. If you started smoking during your formative years, you may well have followed role models; parents, older siblings or others in your circle of friends who you aspired to be like.
Even now, if you spend time with other smokers you may feel that you don’t want to be the odd one out, making it all the more difficult to quit smoking. Hypnotherapy can help you to improve your self-worth and increase your level of confidence, enabling you to socialise without feeling that you need to impress others in order to fit in.* No one will like you less just because because you no longer share a habit.
If you smoke to relax when you are stressed, during hypnotherapy the root cause of your anxiety will be addressed.* You will learn how to manage situations which trigger your need for a cigarette and Jonathan Conway will coach you in deep relaxation methods which you can apply on your own when you need to feel calmer.*
Smoking may have become a ritual, without any conscious thought as to why you smoke at certain times of the day. You may associate lighting a cigarette after a meal, during a work break or social situations. It could be due to boredom and feeling that you need to do something with your hands to keep you occupied.
Of course nicotine is a highly addictive substance but although this actually remains in the system for a relatively short time there is also a psychological addiction to smoking.* The actual habit of smoking is more difficult to break but during hypnosis you can be released from that conditioned response and become indifferent to cigarettes.* You will be able to visualise just how much better you will feel as a non-smoker who has been successful giving up.*
