How to Break the Habit of Smoking with Hypnotherapy*

hypnosis to stop smokingIt’s not uncommon for smokers to believe that the only obstacle preventing them from giving up smoking, is the addiction to nicotine.* In reality, although nicotine is a very addictive substance, the withdrawal symptoms are relatively short-lived whereas the actual habit of smoking is often more difficult to break.

Hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan at the Conway Practice provide a completely safe and natural help to stop smoking. The reasons why you first became a smoker and why you are now ready to stop are important factors in determining how your goal to quit can be achieved and maintained. Lifestyle and family are often very significant and Jonathan will discuss how outside influences may be preventing you from breaking the habit.* Although smoking may have become generally more anti-social, if you are spending time with other smokers as soon as someone lights up you may unconsciously mirror their action and immediately feel the need for a cigarette. This is often why adolescents living in an environment where parents or older siblings are smoking, are motivated to follow suit.

Lighting a cigarette becomes an automatic habit, triggered in certain situations and undermining any resolve you may have to stop smoking.* During hypnosis you will become aware of these triggers and how you can manage them effectively without the need for a cigarette.* If you smoke to relieve anxiety, hypnotherapy can help to reduce your stress levels with relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis you can use whenever you are feeling anxious.*

Regardless of how long you have been addicted to the habit, a smoking cessation programme with hypnotherapy will enable you to visualise yourself as a non-smoker, increasing your willpower to meet the challenge and make positive changes in your life.*
