Cognitive Hypnotherapy To Stop Smoking

Breaking the Habitual Smoking Loop by Defusing the Root Subconscious Triggers

Using hypnotherapy to quit smoking is one of the traditional and best-known uses of this type of therapy. Some hypnotherapists will promise that you can quit in a single (sometimes quite long) session. Some people do, but I don't offer that promise because I have no idea what we are going to come up against. In "one-shots" the potential is much higher than normal for setting the client up to fail and walk away unsuccessfully (or fail later), when all they might have needed was another session or two to really get to and resolve the root of their smoking habit.

The smokers I see tend to fall neatly into three distinct groups:

  • The Ready Phase: Those who are already on the verge of giving up anyway and just need a final push. These individuals generally only need a maximum of a few sessions.
  • The Chronic Loop Phase: Those who are having more serious difficulty quitting, maybe having tried a number of times or methods before, sometimes with short-term success. More in-depth subconscious work is usually required here.
  • The External/Ambivalent Phase: Those who don't genuinely want to quit at the moment (it sounds odd, but it is true). They may just be coming along to keep family members or partners happy, or they are unconsciously laying the initial groundwork to allow them to quit at a future time that feels right for them.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a cutting-edge therapeutic treatment that offers a wide range of psychological tools. Together, we can use these tools to help people successfully stop smoking now and in the future, directly addressing the unique and individual root causes that caused smoking to become a subconscious habit in the first place.
