Quitting Smoking Hypnosis – How Effective Is It?

September 30, 2009 · Filed Under Smoking · Comments Off 

Using quitting smoking hypnosis can be a good way to ease the challenge of becoming smoke free. Despite common misconceptions about hypnosis, it is a useful method.

If you’re interested in hypnosis, you can use either self-hypnosis or seek help from a therapist.  Treatment with a therapist can be either one-on-one or with a group. 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.

Although group sessions do help, the success rate is higher with individual sessions. Everyone responds differently to a given hypnotic suggestion and a skilled therapist can adjust their suggestions mid-treatment by observing your response.

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

Unfortunately not everyone had a therapist available.

Self hypnosis has the advantage of being available to anyone, anywhere. There are several written guides available, but I think the easiest and most effective way to use self-hypnosis for quitting smoking is with a recording.

With this approach, a therapist has recorded an hypnotic session embedded with suggestions to help you stop smoking and become smoke free. You can listen to the recording any time at your convenience.

With this approach, you’ll be working with fairly general suggestions, rather than ones that have been designed specifically for you. A big advantage of self hypnosis recordings is their convenience and ready availability.

I am a big fan of using hypnosis as part of a quitting smoking plan, but I don’t think hypnosis alone is going to be successful in helping people stop completely. In other words, I don’t think it is realistic 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 comprehensive plan, hypnosis can worked extremely well. You can discover more at Quitting Smoking Hypnosis.

The most successful stop smoking program I’ve come across 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.Fortunately he has finally developed a digital program that delivers the same results. You can find a review of this system at Quit Smoking Right Now Review.

Giving up cigarettes smoking is one the healthiest things you can do for yourself and those who care about you. Hypnosis will make things a lot easier.
