Everyone has their own unique way of dealing with stress and a stressful situation. No two people are the same, which means that not everyone is going to react in the same way when something upsetting or challenging happens. Some people may try to get through it quickly; others may take longer to process the situation and come out stronger on the other side.
These are the very same factors that drive why so many people smoke; they’re looking for something to take away their stress, or as a distraction / light release to help them cope with something that’s bothering them. While there are some folks who can quit smoking after a brief period of time, most people find it extremely difficult to kick their habit for good!
This is where Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy is highly effective to help you quit smoking for good. We work together to change your mindset, from the mistaken beliefs that keep you smoking and the way you feel about smoking!
So here’s everything you need to know about how Stop Smoking hypnotherapy works.
What is Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking?
This type of therapy works by using hypnosis to activate the part of the mind that controls our habits, and behaviours. We can consciously want to stop smoking, yet still find ourselves smoking. The smoking habit which has been learned over time, is rooted deep within the subconscious mind.
The conscious mind can want to quit, but as the subconscious mind still wants to smoke a contradiction will be present leading to the stop-start-stop-start cycle.
When you’re in a stop smoking hypnosis session, you are fully in control. You therapist will guide you to enter a relaxed state of hypnosis. Enabling your mind to become open and receptive to new ideas and suggestions. Encouraging more sensible, balanced and helpful attitudes to reality.
The hypnotherapist will connect with you on an emotional level so that you can truly understand why you believe you are wanting to smoke. And how you can make better choices in the future, to stop smoking for good.
What happens during a Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy session?
The session will last around two hours and form 2 parts. You will be become a non-smoker by the end.
A case history will be taken, and your reasons for smoking, and motivation to stop will be discussed. We will also look at some of your beliefs connected to/around smoking using some Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) behavioural techniques.
For the second part, you will be guided to enter a relaxing state of hypnosis. Enabling your subconscious mind to be addressed, to take onboard new positive suggestions. Connecting with your emotions, so you can make better decisions and take on these new learnings deep within the subconscious, to change your mindset and adopt your new set of behaviours as a non-smoker.

How effective is Hypnotherapy for Quitting Smoking?
There have been many studies completed on the topic of how effective hypnotherapy is for helping people to quit smoking. The most recent meta-analysis studied the results of 20 different randomised control trial studies and found: Nicotine dependence or abuse was reduced by 43.8% in participants who received hypnotherapy as compared to those who did not.
Cigarette smoking decreased by 31.9% among participants who received hypnotherapy as compared to those who did not.
The participants who received hypnotherapy were 2.9 times more likely to remain abstinent at one year compared to those who did not. Hypnosis proved to be over 3 times as effective as nicotine replacements, and 15 times more effective than willpower alone.
The researchers concluded that hypnotherapy “is an effective approach for treating nicotine dependence and smoking.”
Other ways to help you Quit Smoking
While there are many options for quitting smoking, nothing comes close to the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as an all-in-one treatment for kicking the habit for good.
Nicotine replacement therapies: These include patches, gum, and inhalers that claim to help you give up smoking. But unfortunately they do not address the nicotine addiction, and leave you with having to struggle to get over the nicotine addiction long after you have stopped smoking, which makes it easier for you to relapse.
All these aids require your willpower and conscious effort to be effective in stopping the habit and they don’t address the psychological need. Also as discussed above habits and addictions are controlled by your subconscious mind, causing the stop-start cycle.
