Smoking is bad, okay? Giving up smoking is a hard process, there’s no denying that. A lot of smokers “quit smoking” all the time, and just a few days after, you see them with a cigarette in their mouth. It’s not like they are unaware of the horrible effects that smoking has on their health, they are, but many of them still find it difficult to quit. This is so due to the addictive effect that nicotine has on our brains and the lack of willpower and character of smokers.
While awareness about the consequences that smoking has on smokers and non-smokers included has grown in recent years, it’s still a troublesome issue in today’s society. Multiple methods are used to treat this addiction: nicotine patches, nicotine gums as well as some additional medications. While all of these may help in the process of quitting, they’re not the ideal solution. Introducing a new way of fighting this nasty habit: hypnotherapy.
When considering the hypnotherapy smoking method, you need to acknowledge that you and only you have the power to stop this addiction. The therapist is only there to pave the way for your will and help you find the inner strength to give up the addiction. He’ll help you change the way you look at the addiction, and will offer you new suggestions that will encourage you to quit. This method helps eliminate the feeling of sacrifice and deprivation that might occur in other quitting methods. Hypnotherapy is generally a less stressful way to go about the addiction. You need to fully dedicate yourself and commit to the method for it to be successful. Depending on the person, multiple sessions might be necessary to make this method work. Some people need only one session that lasts several hours, but it has been proven that people who manage to quit only after one session, usually go back to the addiction about a year later. Even if you are progressing well in therapy, give it some extra time, be open to suggestions and ideas that will alter the way your brain perceives nicotine.
The feeling of success is going to be more than valuable after undergoing a hypnotherapy smoking method. You are going to feel accomplished and motivated like never before. Abandoning this terrible habit will make you a happier and a healthier person. A thing to keep in mind when looking for the right therapist, is the success rate of their program. Therapists who guarantee an extremely high success rate are against the law. Some therapists use success rates as unethical marketing schemes to attract patients to the door. Pick your therapist wisely!
