Hypnotherapy Stop Smoking

Stop smoking in one visit!

The New Scientist Magazine reported in 1992 that “Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit.” (31.10.92) The University of Iowa study had analysed and summarised hundreds of other studies demonstrating the effectiveness of hypnosis in hypnotherapy to stop smoking.

The Standard Approach to Stop Smoking

Standard hypnotherapy treatments have a great success rate, observed at anywhere up to 60% for long-term successful smoking cessation.

So why does hypnotherapy work so well to help you stop smoking, even in comparison to recent advancements such as Nicotine Replacement? Hypnotherapy can greatly reduce the effect of the common barriers to stopping:

• fear of withdrawal symptoms –research has found a significant reduction in withdrawal symptoms with those quitting using hypnotherapy.
• fear of change – imagining your future as a non-smoker and all the benefits this brings in hypnosis activates the same parts of your brain as a real experience, making powerful new connections that are very real.

Even More Powerful Approach to Smoking Cessation

Standard hypnotherapy works well, but research has shown that when it is combined with behavioural analysis and / or standard counselling techniques, the success rates improve dramatically. Rather than just relying on ‘new thinking’ and ‘aversion’ our Stop Smoking Hypnosis helps to identify and change:

• the most powerful ‘triggers’ for your smoking (nerves, stress, boredom, excitement, etc…
• the strongest emotional associations you have with smoking –eg, people, places or perhaps specific times.

When these are treated the long-term effectiveness of Smoking Cessation with hypnotherapy increases dramatically.

Eliminating the Fear of Relapse

The success of this approach provides us with enough understanding to provide a uniquely personal, powerful treatment that is effective long-term.

• environments and triggers – the things that will make a difference for you so that you can feel more self-sufficient.
