Stop Smoking Hypnosis
Stop Smoking Hypnosis
For many people trying to stop smoking hypnosis may be the answer to changing their behavior and breaking their cigarette habit. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the use of hypnosis by people trying to stop smoking but it is a clinically proven method. Too many people believe everything they see on television or in the movies and they are hesitant to use stop smoking hypnosis for fear of the hypnotists planting unwanted suggestions in their subconscious.
While hypnosis has been seen to turn people into clucking chickens or to exhibit other silly behavior, the reality is that stop smoking hypnosis merely plants a suggestion into a person's mind that makes them realize that they can live without smoking. The theory behind stop smoking hypnosis is to have the person's mind relaxed enough to accept the suggestion that the addiction they feel towards nicotine is not as strong as their desire to quit.
Many stop smoking hypnosis clinics are performed in a group setting, but the success rate is considerably higher when a person undergoes this treatment on a personal level. Mass hypnosis is usually conducted in large groups and some critics claim that the success rate of less than 50 percent is due to the setting and not the therapy.
Continued Success - Continued Treatment?
Many companies and individuals offering stop smoking hypnosis clinics, also offer self-hypnosis techniques to help the individual retain the stop smoking suggestion planted during the initial hypnosis session. It has been shown in a variety of scenarios that it can take a minimum of 21 days before a behavior becomes a habit and it can also take that long for a behavior to be changed to eliminate the habit.
That is the theory behind the need for self-hypnosis to be used following a stop smoking hypnosis session. Since less than half of the people attending a stop smoking hypnosis session are successful in giving up the habit, those that also use self-hypnosis after the session are more likely to stop smoking for good.
The catalyst that makes people want to quit smoking is different for everyone and trying to plant that thought into the minds of all those attending a stop smoking hypnosis session can be difficult. This is why follow-up sessions using self-hypnosis are necessary to help more people give up the smoking addiction.
