The Truth About Quitting Smoking Hypnosis

Anyone trying to stop smoking needs help they can get. It is one of the best things they can do for their health and general well-being but it is never very easy for anyone. Quitting smoking hypnosis however can be a big help and anyone looking to kick the habit should consider it.

While results very, it can be extremely effective for some people. I know one person who stop completely after only one group hypnosis session. That is certainly the exception, but it does work that way for some lucky people. More commonly, people report success rates between ten and 30% using hypnosis along to stop smoking.

Some people hesitate to consider quitting smoking hypnosis because they’ve misconceptions. There are several reasons for this.

For one thing, Hollywood has painted a picture of hypnosis that’s generally negative. Very frequently, a hypnotist is portrayed as slightly sinister and manipulative rather than as a supportive and helpful therapist.

Hollywood’s portrayal of anyone undergoing hypnosis isn’t any more flattering. They’re weak willed and easily influenced by the strong personality of the hypnotist.

The reality is quite the opposite. The people who are most successful with hypnosis are curious, creative and have a high level of self-confidence.

Let’s proceed with this piece of writing. Another major reason for failure to accept hypnotism as a valid treatment was medical professions hesitancy in acknowledging its value. For many years, the American Medical Association considered practicing hypnosis a breach of professional conduct. It wasn’t until the work of Dr. Milton Erickson that they change their position acknowledged that hypnotism could be a very useful therapy.

Some people hesitate to consider hypnosis because they are afraid of giving up control to the hypnotist. Nothing could be further from the reality. The person under hypnosis retains full control of all time. They can never be made to accept a suggestion that contradicts any strongly held value that they’ve.

Another fact is that we all commonly experience brief periods of trance every day. Have you ever found yourself daydreaming with no awareness of where you wore until some action or event brought you back? You were in a trance.

Many of us have had the experience of driving by our exit on a freeway, arriving at destination without any real recollection of how we got there. Again, we were in the type of trance.

The aim of hypnosis is to purposely induce an altered state of consciousness that allows more direct communication with the subconscious. In this state is possible to reinforce ideas and beliefs that will support the desired attitude and outcome. In this case, that’s to quit smoking.

I think you can see that’s highly desirable to have your subconscious in agreement with your conscious mind to help you reach your goal and hypnosis is an excellent way to do that.

However, I think of hypnosis more as an additional aid. As I mentioned above, the success rate using hypnosis alone is rather low. On the other hand, using hypnosis as part of a comprehensive quitting smoking system is very helpful. Combined with other methods, the results are much better than they would be with a single method alone.
