TRAPPED IN THE SMOKING HABIT?

Smoking is essentially a habit as oppose to a physical addiction. And did you know that all traces of nicotine have left the body within 48 hours after stopping?

This means that any remaining craving is due to psychological perception of the benefits that smoking brings and a pattern of behaviour that has formed around smoking, for instance, first thing in the morning, after a meal, on the phone, feeling bored or stressed.

Because we are all fantastic learners, the brain learns very quickly and the more you do something, the more ingrained the behaviour becomes, meaning that it feels more natural to smoke at certain times than to refrain.

Although you may really want to give up smoking, it can be extremely difficult to break free from that pattern of behaviour and to alter some of the beliefs which smoking thrives on. One of the ways that cigarettes are able to exert their control over you is down to the fear that these beliefs instil.

This is because they are able to work at an emotional level meaning that the rational thinking brain (that knows all the harmful effects and serious health problems that smoking can bring), doesn’t get chance to have a look in.

The majority of smokers thinking about stopping can, unfortunately, let their imagination run riot and find themselves worrying about things like ‘what will I do when I’m feeling stressed’, how will I enjoy a drink without a cigarette’ and ‘how will I cope will the terrible withdrawal symptoms’.

Well, the good news is that hypnotherapy recognises the incredible power of our imagination and is therefore able to use it to your advantage by creating new beliefs and expectations around stopping smoking and creating new patterns of behaviour, making stopping smoking a positive experience.

The amount of sessions that are required vary, according to how many cigarettes a person is smoking and whether they prefer to stop in one session or over an extended period of time. Either way, a stop smoking hypnosis CD is included in the fee to use at home to support the work done during the therapy session(s).
