Hypnotism To Quit Smoking
Breaking a cigarette addiction can be challenging. Not only do you have to deal with the physical cravings, you have to deal with the rituals and habits that have evolved around your smoking. Traditionally, it would require a great deal of personal motivation and will power to break free of these influences. However, using hypnotism to quit smoking can make the process much, much easier.
Here's the cold hard facts: statistics have shown that those who go cold turkey, quitting by themselves with little or no support, usually struggle and generally experience a low success rate. How low? Believe it or not, as low as five percent. So what about all the nicotine replacement programs you see out there? Again, studies have shown that depending on which method you choose, you'll experience a ten to seventeen percent success rate. Next on the scale are behavior altering programs, which actually have a twenty five percent success rate. Finally, using hypnotism to quit smoking carries a sixty six to eighty percent success rate (depending on if it's used in conjunction with any other method). Studies have shown that no program has a better rate than hypnosis.
Curious why hypnosis does so well?
Well, it all has to do with the subconscious mind. While, the conscious mind can reason and think, it can't control the subconscious mind, which has been programmed by thoughts, imprints, and impressions that are often invisible to the conscious mind. Smokers may consciously desire to quit smoking, consciously aware of the negative effects on their health, but subconsciously it's an imbedded habit with a huge comfort zone.
Using hypnotism to quit smoking is a way to directly deal with all the undercurrent routines and needs. Not only does it help to eliminate the desire and cravings for cigarettes, it aids in building your self-confidence, self esteem and self control. In addition, there are a number of quit smoking hypnosis audio programs you can use in the comfort of your own home. These are generally priced between fifty and one hundred dollars, which is far more affordable than seeing a hypnosis therapist.
Finally, as powerful as hypnosis can be in helping you to stop smoking, however, it's even more powerful when combined with other approaches. The combination of approaches addresses both the physical necessities for nicotine and the psychological dependence.
