Smoking Cessation With Hypnotherapy
In psychotherapy, hypnosis can be used to help clients go into a relaxed, comfortable, state to facilitate certain therapeutic outcomes. The therapist can make suggestions designed to help the client formulate specific internal processes (feelings, memories, images and self-talk) which will lead to their desired results.
Hypnosis is a scientifically verified and effective technique that can promote accelerated human change and stimulate desired changes in behavior such as smoking cessation. This method is especially suited for healthcare professionals, practicing therapists, and individuals seeking to make a positive change in their lives. This method is proposed to act on underlying impulses to weaken the desire to smoke or strengthen the will to stop
This method is a communication that induces a trance or a trance-like state. This very condition is a naturally occurring state in which one\'s attention is narrowly focused and heightened. To be absorbed in a book or a TV program is to be in a trance, your attention may be focused either internally (e.g. on thoughts, self-talk, feelings and/or images) or externally (e.g. on a task, book, or movie). This narrowed focus of attention allows other stimuli in the environment to be ignored or blocked out of conscious awareness. Examples of trance states are daydreaming, driving a car, watching TV, and some forms of meditation.
The problem of quitting is quite familiar for anyone who has ever tried - any smoker who has tried to quit will tell you, it can also be a most difficult thing to do due to the fact that this is not only due to the addictive nature of nicotine itself, but also because the ritual of smoking becomes intimately woven into the pattern of the smoker\'s daily life and associated with routine activities, and certain events or stressors. These activities and events become \"triggers\"; things that serve as cues to the smoker that it is time to light-up.
The most important thing you should know is that it is you who control the process, the therapist is merely your guide. Hypnotherapy is not mind control or brainwashing. A hypnotherapist is a psychotherapist who uses hypnosis as a means of accessing the subconscious mind. It is a tool to communicative and gently and positively influence clients towards their desired outcomes.
Research results show that hypnotherapy has a greater effect on six month quit rates than other interventions or no treatment. The effects of hypnotherapy on smoking cessation claimed by uncontrolled studies were not confirmed by analysis of randomized controlled trials.
