How Hypnotherapy can Help if you Want to Stop Smoking*
Even a long term smoker may reach a point in their life when they want to quit smoking. Quitting however, can prove to be far harder than it was to become a smoker in the first place. The very first seemingly harmless cigarette, can also be the first step towards becoming hooked very quickly not only on the highly addictive substance of nicotine, but also on the habit of smoking.
Hypnotherapy can help you to stop smoking by not only helping you through the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, but also by retracing why you began to smoke and why you are now determined to stop.* Influence from peers during the teenage years often plays a major part and can continue to do so even in adult life when it becomes far more difficult to stop smoking if you are surrounded by smokers. Hypnosis however can help to increase your willpower and self-discipline by making personal changes on a deeper level in your sub-conscious mind.*
Although you may believe that you are unable to give up smoking due to the reliance on nicotine, this may well be a false belief. There are certain situations where you are conditioned to not lighting a cigarette; during a flight, in a restaurant or other public places, or out of courtesy when enjoying a meal with non-smokers. You have consciously accepted that you will be able to cope without smoking. During hypnosis Jonathan will help you to visualise what triggers your need to smoke, even when nicotine may no longer be in your system.*
You may reach for a cigarette purely out of habit at certain times of the day, perhaps while on a work break, after a meal, or socialising with friends. Anxiety may also play a significant part in why you continue to smoke. With guidance from Jonathan Conway using hypnotherapy, you will be shown relaxation methods enabling you to reduce your stress levels and to respond more effectively to external stressors as and when they occur in your life.* You will learn how to replace habits when you would normally be tempted to smoke, with positive distractions which will take your mind off any cravings.*
Hypnotherapy to help you stop smoking is completely safe and medication free and effectively works by giving you control to find the inner strength to achieve your goal to become a non-smoker.*
