Have you thought about quitting cigarettes but have just not found the right time or way to do it? Are you feeling the effects of smoking on your health or body? Would you like to gain back control? Hypnotherapy can help you quit more easily and teach you helpful tools to overcome urges and cravings.
How does it work?
In hypnosis a client can practice riding out cravings and saying no to cigarettes so that a new habit (a new neuropathway) is formed during the session that will help the client in the first days and weeks after giving up smoking. The hardest thing about quitting is not the physical withdrawal from tobacco but giving up the habit of smoking. Most smokers have many triggers throughout their day that remind them of cigarettes. It is therefore important to break the usual patterns and create new different healthy ways of getting a similar effect that taking a break and having a cigarette has for most people. For example instead of having a cup of coffee in the morning sitting outside on the deck ort he balcony with a cigarette a client might decide to drink a cup of tea sitting in the kitchen while reading the paper for a few weeks.
Most people experience hypnosis as relaxing and energizing and walk out after a first session as a non-smoker. Some people need more than one session to kick the habit for good.
