Quitting Smoking Hypnosis - How Effective Is It?

Using quitting smoking hypnosis can be a good way to ease the challenge of becoming smoke free. Even though some people are fearful about hypnosis, it a therapy used by physicians as well as psychologists and therapists.

Hypnosis can be done either by the person themselves (self hypnosis) or with the help and guidance of a hypnotherapist. If the hypnosis is undertaken with a therapist, it can be one-on-one or in group sessions. Some therapists travel and hold sessions in rather large meeting halls. One advantage of group sessions is that they are less expensive than having individual sessions.

If you can work with a therapist privately, the success rate goes up for a few reasons. Everyone responds differently to a given hypnotic suggestion and a skilled therapist can adjust their suggestions mid-treatment by noting your response.

Also, if you have individual sessions the therapist will talk to you about your smoking habit and design a program specifically to deal with your issues.

The disadvantage of individual sessions is that not everybody has access to a trained hypnotherapist. And it is somewhat inconvenient.

The other approach is self-hypnosis. You can learn self hypnosis techniques from a book, but these days recordings work best.

Using this method, you’ll listen to a therapist guiding you through a hypnotic induction, and then make suggestions to help you quit smoking. You can use the recording anytime it’s convenient for you. It’s generally recommended that you listen at least once or twice a day.

With this approach, you’ll be working with fairly general suggestions, rather than ones that have been designed specifically for you. And they are very affordable.

I I believe that everyone trying to stop smoking should consider using hypnosis, but I don’t think hypnosis alone is going to be successful in helping people stop completely. In other words, it’s not reasonable to think that going to a stop smoking hypnosis seminar or buying a hypnosis CD will be enough to free you from the smoking habit by itself.

However as part of a complete stop smoking program, hypnosis can worked extremely well. You can discover more at Quitting Smoking Hypnosis.

One of the most successful systems I’ve ever seen that uses hypnosis has a 90% success rate. This was developed by a therapist who combined multiple techniques into a powerful stop smoking program. Until recently the only way to get access to the system was to work with them one-on-one.Because of the huge need he has finally developed a downloadable program that delivers the same results.
