How Hypnotherapy can Help you to Stop Smoking in 2016*
So here we are at the start of another year, with resolutions made and perhaps disappointingly some already broken. Is this the year that you are determined to quit smoking? You may feel as if you are continuing to carry with you a packet of cigarettes like an outgrown ‘friendship’ that you’re now aware is actually doing you more harm than good, but you don’t know how to end it.
Jonathan Conway provides help to stop smoking with hypnotherapy and fully appreciates that however good your intentions are, you may find it difficult to give up on your own.* Apart from the fact that nicotine is a highly addictive substance, the habit of smoking also has to be addressed. Smokers will generally say that there are specific triggers to lighting a cigarette. This may be to calm down during stressful situations, as a self-reward when taking a work break, after a meal or enjoying a social drink with friends or family.
If you smoke more when you are anxious, giving up smoking can be in itself stressful, making the attempt to stop even more difficult. During hypnosis however, Jonathan will help you to manage and reduce your stress levels, identifying the root cause of your anxiety.* Relaxation techniques can be continued on your own after the sessions at the Conway Practice and creative visualisation will enable you to picture how much fitter and healthier you will feel as a non-smoker.*
Hypnotherapy can’t make you do anything against your will and however much pressure you may be under from others to stop smoking, unless this is what you really want for yourself, your chance of success may be slim. Pleasing someone else isn’t the solution to giving up the habit, but if you have self-determination to be free of the addiction, the power of your subconscious mind can be trained to think more positively about succeeding and maintaining that success in the long term.*
Whether you are committed to stop smoking for reasons of better health or improved wealth, with the help of hypnotherapy this can be the year that you achieve it.* For more information please contact Jonathan Conway today.
