Article by Alan Densky

How many inner discussions have you had with yourself about your smoking habit? How many times have you mentioned to family and friends that you want to quit but seem to stay caught in a smoking rut despite the health risks and the cost? And how many methods have you tried that just didn’t succeed? If you are like most smokers, you will remember such shattered hopes and may have felt nothing will really come through for you. Unless you tried hypnosis to stop smoking, you may have been on target.

If you fervently want to cease smoking, neurolinguistic therapy with hypnosis is the rational choice for true results. Smoking cessation hypnotherapy can zone in on the most significant reasons that keep you smoking as well as equipping you with resources and guidance to be successful for good. This is not stage entertainment that is good for laughs and tricks, but a reputable therapy approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with accreditation and a well-established ethics code.

Hypnosis doesn’t change your moral values and a reputable hypnotherapist will respect your privacy and rights like any other medical professional. You do need a practitioner who is certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who adheres to their stringent code of ethics and professional conduct. Included in their code is making the physical and mental well-being of their client their main consideration. They also defend clients from mental, physical or verbal abuse, and refer any client as needed.

A well trained hypnotherapist has the training to address problem behavior, and stop smoking hypnosis is the second most frequent type they practice. Using the most current methods which may include the precision of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the ongoing support of CD’s for stop smoking hypnosis as well as any medical measures a PCP might also prescribe for a patient. Using medical hypnotherapy does not mean other measures are excluded, but they may not even be needed at all.

The reason that professionally used hypnosis to quit smoking is the most effective method to attain success is that it addresses the three basic issues in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue fully and correct the problems each causes. Most people believe that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important element and the worst problem, but this is simply not the case. If the addiction to the substance called nicotine were the single reason for failure, most smokers would not fail so many times in their efforts to end smoking for good.

Yes, nicotine is a dramatically addictive substance and for most smokers the physical dependence is very real and there are withdrawal sensations that are also real. But did you realize these last only a short time? In fact, every bit of nicotine is metabolized out of the system in just 72 hours or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal discomforts and not the reality that causes the most suffering and which may prevent even trying to quit at all. Yet quitting without therapy has an average 5% rate of success! Hypnosis to quit smoking reduces fear of withdrawal symptoms and greatly reduces the effect of any that do happen.

Another component of smoking is that it provides relaxation, just as sucking on a pacifier tranquilizes a baby. Many people treat anxiety and stress with some form of oral soothing like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can substitute for the comfort factor derived from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the cravings and produces the benefits of quitting instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same perceptions from other activities that are positive, not negative. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques can educate the brain to remove any connection between smoking cigarettes and comfort.

Finally, part of the smoking habit is plain old Pavlovian habit formation to stimuli. Smokers learn to connect smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliché of the cigarette after physical relations to feeling the need for a cigarette while drinking or watching television or chatting on the phone. Here stop smoking hypnotherapy can permanently eliminate the connection, and when the link is no longer there, there will be no trigger to light up when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is presented. The mind is trained to associate positive things with the former triggers, or to recall the advantages of quitting or the created by having the smoke.

A professional clinical practitioner will use both negative and positive associations to replace programmed associations with smoking, selecting those most powerful for an individual client. Stop smoking hypnosis is the only method that can fine tune the treatment to each of the three reasons for smoking and root them out. Everyone quitting requires support, but only smoking cessation programs using hypnotherapy effectively make you your own support team.
