According to some recent research, there is a 25% rate of success for people who undergo hypnosis as a method to quit smoking. Can hypnosis actually get smokers to quit? The answer is yes, according to various studies.
So what exactly is hypnosis and how can it help? Hypnosis encourages your subconscious mind to be receptive to suggestions in a relaxed environment. In this state, the subconcious is more open to suggestions made by the hypnotherapist.
Does hypnosis really work? Hypnotherapists claim it can, as long as it's done correctly. The success rate falls within the range of 66% to 95%, based on several sessions of hypnosis and the willingness of the individual to want to quit smoking.
The myth surrounding hypnosis is that an individual under hypnosis becomes unconscious or prone to act out commands directed by the hypnotist. And that's all it is, a myth. This is more fiction than fact, and is usually only seen on TV and in stage performances. Genuine hypnosis lets the person remain completely conscious while totally relaxed. The subconscious is then receptive to the directions given by the hypnotherapist.
Put another way, half the battle is a strong commitment to quit smoking. Once the hypnotist reaches the subconscious, keywords are used to suggest that, for example, quitting smoking will be easy, your desire to smoke is dissipating, and you do not wish to smoke any longer.
Hypnotherapists claim that hypnosis can be a success for almost everyone. This is a safe and effective method wherein you can end a session at any given moment. You are not asleep, as some may think, but fully aware of everything the hypnotist is telling you.
In the end, hypnosis can be an effective treatment, as long as you sincerely want to quit smoking. As your subconscious responds to the hypnotist's suggestions, your craving to smoke should gradually diminish after a few sessions. Finally, you will find cigarettes an abhorrent and disgusting habit.
Do some people who have quit smoking through hypnosis ever go back to their old habits? In some cases, yes, there are. However, some hypnotherapists can provide ongoing help for these individuals.
If you really want to quit smoking, and your subconscious will accept some subtle persuasion, hypnosis could take the place of other methods like medication or nicotine gum and patches. The key is to find a hypnotherapist who has a proven track record, is highly qualified, and will work with you to achieve this goal.
