Hypnotherapy is Useful in Healing Many Ailments, Phobias and Ingrained Habits
Quitting smoking is not as easy as getting used to the habit. Most people struggle to quit, even though they may actually realize the health hazards involved. Luckily, there are many avenues to explore when it comes to quitting cigarettes. There is the patch, e-cigarettes, herbal remedies, group therapy and many more ways which are known to be effective in getting avid smokers to quit. But you will have to struggle through temptation and cravings which all these methods of quitting smoking have in common. However, if you choose a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique combined with Hypnotherapy, the process you go through is much more different from the conventional quit cigarette methods.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Dictionary.com defines hypnotherapy as “treatment of a symptom, disease, or addiction by means of hypnotism.” The next question will then be “what is hypnotism?” According to American Psychological Association’s definition, hypnosis is a cooperative interaction in which the participant responds to the suggestions of the hypnotist. Increasingly, hypnosis is being used to yield various therapeutic benefits from managing dementia to anxiety and pain management. These include helping to quit smoking, managing rheumatism, getting over the fear and pain of child birth, pain during dental procedures etc. It is now accepted as one of the most effective methods of treating a wide variety of illnesses. Hypnosis is a state of being asleep while awake. The subconscious mind is awake while another portion of the mind is asleep. When a person is hypnotized, the hypnotist can interact with the subconscious mind and “implant” ideas into the subconscious mind and upon waking and going through daily life, these ideas will be brought out and the person will find himself acting on it.
How does Hypnotherapy Work?
Unlike in the old days when we used to see a pendulum moving back and forth and the poor victim gazing at it and then falling into a trancelike state, hypnotherapy related to realistic, medical context is simple and lacking in these dramatic exhibitions. If hypnosis is being used to cure smoking habits, then the job of the hypnotist is to help the smoker to become hypnotized by relaxing methods of talking and action. When a person is fully hypnotized, the hypnotist will help the smoker to see and feel the evils of smoking which when awake, will make the person see a cigarette in a different light. The smoker who becomes a non-smoker after these hypnosis sessions will no longer have cravings to fight against cigarettes.

Therefore, if you wish to stop smoking and you have exhausted all means of doing it successfully, then ask yourself “what is the harm in trying hypnosis?” The answer will be “No harm.” So, give yourself a chance to try this option out and test the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on quitting cigarettes for good.
