How You Can Use Hypnotherapy To Break The Smoking Addiction

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

The average person attempts to quit smoking between four to six times before they are successful. If you have tried prescriptions, patches, gum or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt stick with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the most simple and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently listen to and watch DVDs and CDs specifically designed to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.

Many smokers think that they are unable to quit smoking because of their addiction to nicotine, but that simply is not true. Medical experts agree that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been cleared from the system, which leaves smokers to focus on the more difficult and far reaching psychological and emotional addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are many ways to quit smoking, but only one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: kick smoking hypnosis. Many people who have a strong desire to quit still end up asking themselves, "Why can't I simply stop smoking?"

The answer is obvious to hypnotherapists. The part of you that won't let you stop smoking is the unconscious mind. You can't alter your unconscious mind by force of will or with a patch, prescription or gum. You need the right kind of help.

To quit smoking, support is imperative, but the majority of people do not grasp that the best support comes from within their own unconscious mind. Hypnosis is the most effective technique to guarantee that your complete psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That is because hypnosis provides an effective way of communicating with the unconscious mind.

Stop smoking hypnosis helps you eliminate the urge to smoke by removing the compulsion to light up. When the compulsion and urge to smoke are subtracted, quitting becomes an easy decision that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are effective because they address the most powerful elements of the smoking addiction.

The first part of a successful stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the need to smoke for relaxation and pleasure. This example was actually established when you were a baby. Most likely, when you were cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and probably went to sleep. Cigarette smokers obtain the same soothing effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, your unconscious mind is reprogrammed to attain relaxation and pleasure by unconsciously switching stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all with the use of the very same triggers that formerly made you tense. This makes the tension almost disappear magically. Additionally, the very fundamental nature of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly fade.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you tackle the habituation, or the "Habit." Habituation happens when the unconscious mind creates an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as watching television or driving. Perhaps the second that you turn on the television you are fighting with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis CD or DVD can reprogram your unconscious associations so that driving, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking! This is known as, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical addiction to nicotine is merely about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes stems from the emotional and mental components that we have looked at thus far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals agree that the body is void of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs recognize that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes for relaxation have been reprogrammed, the physical addiction is in fact such a minute part of their smoking problem, that it has no impact on their ability to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.

Now, I must inform you that despite the unparalleled success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to commencing a program. And as well as the desire to quit, you must make an honest decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis CDs and DVDs can't be used to force you to do something you don't want to do, so no program can coerce you to stop smoking. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a decision to quit smoking, hypnosis CDs and DVDs will help you to remain comfortable and not suffer from withdrawal symptoms, cravings or tension. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.
