Smoking Cessation
Since smoking is both a physical and mental habit, to become a non-smoker, change must happen in not only the mental attitude, but also the physical reaction. Through hypnosis, it is possible to change the taste of a cigarette from pleasurable to unpleasant.
For most people, the absolute worst way to attempt to deal with a smoking habit is through the use of willpower. Like moods and emotions, willpower fluctuates, being neither consistent nor effective. In most cases, countless methods, programs, substitute products, pills, gum and self-help tapes my have been tried, all directed at the power to overcome the smoking addiction. Hypnotherapy does not work at achieving the strength to resist; it is designed to eliminate your DESIRE. Instead of giving up something that a person enjoys, the individual’s goal is to be rid of something that is NOT wanted. A much more psychologically agreeable position to have.
In some cases, a gradual reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked proves successful. However, in most cases, effective smoking cessation can be achieved in the first session, with only one or two follow up sessions for reinforcement.
