Interactive Hypnotherapy To Quit Smoking

Let’s make it clear that smoking is NOT an addiction, but rather a habit formed over the years through repetition. Habits are controlled by the subconscious. Since smoking is a habit, will power alone can not make a person quit. When a person decides to quit smoking, the main aspect is to change their view with regards to cigarettes and to let go of the routine.

During the session, the subconscious mind is asked to shut down the cravings to smoke. Once this happens, the habit is not replaced by anything else like eating, hence, there can be no confusion in the client’s mind which gives peace of mind and freedom. During the session new programmes are set in place regarding cigarette smoking, so that when you experience a trigger, your mind does not automatically react but slows down to process and listen to this new information provided.

For the hypnotherapy session to work the client should be absolutely certain of the reasons as to why they want to quit. Their reasons to stop smoking should be clear. The need to quit should be their own and not because of someone else.
