Hypnotherapy, is it the best quit smoking method?

By dolfsmoke on January 21st, 2012

There are so many ways to quit smoking, and in their quest to stop, many smokers try everything from quitting cold turkey to one-on-one counseling to nicotine patches and gums or combinations of all of the above. If these quit smoking methods haven’t worked for you, or you just want to take a more holistic approach, you may want to try hypnotherapy.

Research does not support hypnotherapy as a proven means to help people stop smoking. A scientific review of existing studies found no evidence to suggest that hypnotherapy worked better than other smoking cessation aids or no treatment at all.

However, some individuals have reported success in quitting smoking with the help of hypnotherapy. For hypnosis to be successful as a way to stop smoking, the person has to have faith in the therapist and be okay with being in a passive and susceptible state of mind.

A History of Hypnotherapy as Treatment

Hypnotherapy has been used in psychological treatment since the 1950s, when psychiatrist Milton H. Erickson showed the potential of hypnosis as an aid to traditional therapy. The American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association recognized hypnotherapy as a valid medical procedure in 1958.

The first use of hypnotherapy to help people stop smoking was described by Dr. Herbert Spiegel in a 1970 journal article. His hypnotic strategy has become known as the “Spiegel technique” and involves concentration on three main ideas:

  • Smoking is poisonous to your body.
  • You need your body if you want to live.
  • If you want to live, you need to respect and protect your body.

Today, hypnotherapists will suggest that smokers associate cigarettes with unpleasant tastes, odors, or sensations for instance, that cigarette smoke smells like bus fumes, that the smoke has a nasty taste, or that it will cause you to suffer from dry mouth. They might also suggest that smokers believe that they have lost the desire to smoke and can easily cope with their nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

What To Expect From Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking

Your hypnotherapist will begin your first session by asking questions about your medical history and the issue that brought you in. He will likely give you an explanation of hypnosis and how it works, and then will guide you into your first trance. The therapist will also probably teach you some self-hypnosis techniques, so you can reinforce the hypnotherapy on your own. Hypnotherapy sessions typically last about an hour.

Multiple sessions to reinforce the suggestions being provided by the hypnotherapist are usually recommended. Most people begin to show progress after four sessions, although hypnotherapy can continue as long as you need to have the suggestions reinforced.

The national average cost for a hypnotherapy session is about $85, but the cost varies widely across the country, with rates on the East and West coasts reaching up to $125.

Pros and Cons of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be successful as a combination therapy, used in conjunction with other treatments for such conditions as stress, anxiety, depression, and pain. Hypnosis also does not involve the use of any medications, which might appeal to smokers who aren’t interested in using drugs or nicotine replacement products.

Keep in mind that hypnotherapy is not dangerous. The hypnotist cannot make you do something you don’t want to do. The greatest risk usually involves the unintended creation of false memories based on suggestions from the hypnotherapist.

As for the drawbacks, the major criticism of hypnotherapy for smoking cessation is that no research to date has proven it works. Also, hypnotherapy is not considered a valid treatment for people who are alcoholics or drug addicts or are dealing with hallucinations and psychotic episodes.

Finding a Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy should be performed by a mental health professional who has been licensed and certified and has received special training in hypnosis. Several professional groups can put you in touch with accredited hypnotherapists in your area:

Also ask your doctor, who might be able to recommend a known and trusted hypnotherapist.

Don’t forget, you can also try using the proven method of self hypnosis as your best quit smoking method.

Moreover, ex-smokers have better health than current smokers. For example, ex-smokers have fewer days of illness, fewer health complaints, and less frequent bouts with chronic bronchitis and pneumonia than current smokers.

Women may find that their orgasms improve and they become aroused more easily. Its also been found that non-smokers are three times more appealing to the opposite sex than smokers (one of the advantages, perhaps, of smelling fresh). Becoming a non-smoker increases the possibility of conceiving through IVF and reduces the likelihood of having a miscarriage. Most importantly, it improves the chances of giving birth to a healthy baby.
  • Better Look
    Stopping smoking has been found to slow facial ageing and delay the appearance of wrinkles. The skin of a non-smoker gets more nutrients, including oxygen, and can reverse the sallow, lined complexion that smokers often have. Giving up tobacco stops teeth becoming stained, andyou’ll have fresher breath, sure you will be more confidence with your smile and these will keep you smiling.

In your 20s and 30s, the effect of smokingon your lung capacity may not be noticeable until you go for a run, but lung capacity naturally diminishes with age. In later years, having maximum lung capacity canmean the difference between having an active, healthy old age and wheezing when going for a walk or climbing the stairs.

HEALTHIER LOVED ONES

By stopping smoking you’ll be protecting the health of your non-smoking friends and family. Passive smoking increases a non-smoker’s risk of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Stop Smoking Hypnosis is The Best Method to Quit Smoking

By dolfsmoke on October 11th, 2010

Are you frustrated like many smokers that nothing you’ve tried so far has worked: cold turkey, nicotine patches, gum or pills? You know you want to leave cigarettes behind so you will be healthier, live longer, be more attractive and to please those you love. But it’s hard.

You’ve probably heard the statistics that it is as difficult to quit smoking as it is to quit heroin. You get stressed at home or on the job and all you can think of is taking a cigarette break to calm your nerves.

You go out with your friends and they all light up. You smell it and then can’t think of anything else…

With Stop Smoking Hypnotism its Easy to Quit

Coffee in the morning isn’t the same without it to help perk you up in the morning. You’ve seen them slow you down and make you feel bad about yourself. You may have noticed premature signs of aging, damage to your body, problems with self image, guilt and self blame, feeling self-conscious and out of control.

Perhaps you feel like a failure because you haven’t been able to quit on your own. There are dozens of factors involved in quitting. Deep down smokers feel they’re giving up their best friend by quitting. The subconscious mind associates cigarettes with a break in routine, comfort, a reward for a long day and friendships with other smokers. To give up cigarettes seems to be giving up all these things.

The Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Session Communicates to your Subconscious Mind

Most users of our therapy quit permanently and easily. You can take a break, go outside, have a nice breath of fresh air, spend time with your friends, comfort yourself and reward yourself in other ways. You’ve heard that you only use 10% of your mind? Your subconscious accounts for the other 90% of your behaviors. It accounts for 90% of your personality, 90% of your habits and 90% of why people can’t stop.

Once your subconscious understands that all you’re giving up is the nasty habit and not the good things it’s accidentally associated with it — your mind stops fighting you and starts helping! Hypnosis works because it communicates directly with your subconscious mind.

It’s like a megaphone allowing you to get the message across to the part of your brain that has been holding you back. Since it’s the change in habits that cause people to gain weight when quitting you don’t have to worry about that — because you are taking control of those habits through hypnosis!

This Self-Hypnosis Session Includes

  • The newest techniques in hypnosis performance, combining up-to-date hypnosis inductions and the latest in NLP.
  • Digitally mastered sound.
  • Inducing music and trance deepening sounds intertwined with hypnosis.
