Quit Smoking with Hypnosis

By Patrick Glancy, BCH

Quit smoking programs using hypnosis are very involved when done correctly. Working to change behaviors that involve many parts of your life. If you were a hypnotist, you might have to put it all together. If you're not a hypnotist, well, you get to enjoy the fruits of another's labor. Nice, huh?

You experience your smoking habit in unique ways. You know where you struggle with decisions to smoke or not the most. Your experience is unique and also common. (Yes, it can be both things.)

A well formed hypnosis program can address your unique cravings directly. It can de-fuse the emotional triggers so they no longer happen. If you've fought with smoking long enough, it might be difficult to even imagine what it would feel like to NOT have a craving.

That's good, and it can be even better. Why not use the same learning principles behind the smoking habit creation and use hypnosis to begin cravings or desires for water, exercise and fresh air? Then prepare some distractions to occupy your time and mind. The time you used to use smoking. At 5 to 10 minutes per cigarette, that time adds up. Some people would be satisfied with this much help. But, more is possible.

What about the stress that would sometimes trigger a craving? Why not use hypnosis to reduce your stress too? Well, yeah.

Your level of confidence is something to boost with hypnosis. And, not just your general sense of confidence. What can likely use some confidence building is the belief that you CAN quit smoking this time. That this time is different than previous times. (One of the ways you learn beliefs is repetition. It's very possible this is not your first attempt to quit smoking. Having previously tried and failed, has that repetition created a belief in your mind that this time will fail? Better use hypnosis to patch that up.)

And just in case, you might as well use hypnosis to address your eating habits. Make sure they stay in control during your quit smoking process. Just knowing that this is one more part of the process should ease your mind.

With all of that help in your corner, this time, to quit smoking will be a walk in the park. Which doesn't sound so bad, does it?
