Stop smoking hypnotherapy - It all begins with the mind. Your hypnotherapist will help you relax and eliminate outside influences—noise, worries and problems. You will be able to achieve a heightened sense consciousness and allow the hypnotherapist to reach your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind controls our emotions, instincts and bodily sensations. It works as the storehouse for information which our conscious mind could not piece together and make sense of. This subconscious mind is also responsible for our habits and mannerisms, things that we automatically do, even when our conscious mind knows it is wrong, like self-destructing habits. Your mind at this stage is at its most open, more like a clean slate, allowing your hypnotherapist to reinforce positive suggestions like, “I love my family. I love myself. Smoking destroys the ones I love and me.” These suggestions have been proven to be more effective and more lasting since our subconscious is part of our long term memory.
Access to the subconscious also allows the hypnotherapist to get to the root of the problem. What makes you smoke? Why do you do it? Once these questions are answered, thy hypnotherapist would then be able to redirect your mind to seek the benefits you get from tobacco to other positive sources. If for example you smoke when you are stressed your hypnotherapist may suggest, “Smoking does not give me comfort when I get stressed. It makes me cough and the smell of it annoys me. Jogging or walking in the park is my way to de-stress, or meeting and talking with a friend.” This is like reprogramming or updating your mind, you get rid of the bad ones in favour of the new good ones.
