Hypnosis (hypnotherapy) is one of the most effective stop smoking methods available, and over 600 scientific and clinical studies have also verified its effectiveness
in this area. Hypnosis can reduce nicotine cravings (in some cases completely eliminating associated cravings), increase your motivation to become permanent non smoker and reduce stress levels often associated with giving up smoking. Depending on the level of cigarette dependency between 2 to 4 sessions are generally recommended, with a stop smoking CD to be played between sessions.
- It is important to understand that nicotine addiction is not the main reason that people have trouble giving up smoking. It is a fact that most of the nicotine is removed from the body in as little as three to four days of abstaining from cigarettes. The biggest issue is that it becomes a “Psychological habit” and in turn leads to a subconscious desire for cigarettes.
- Hypnotherapy works directly at the “Subconscious level” dealing directly with the root cause of the habit.
This is just one of the many reasons why clients respond so well in our clinical practice.
