Stop Smoking Derby Hypnotherapist

To Stop Smoking is probably the number 1 resolution seen by a hypno-therapist. Smokers know that smoking is edging towards a point where the government will squeeze every penny out of them AND treat them like lepers at the same time. If you are a smoker you don’t need people to tell you how bad for your health it is- you know all this, the pictures no cigarettes packs give a clear indication of some of the traumas you might face if you continue to smoke. The tv ads as well, show in full horror the damage that all those foreign chemicals can do to you- so what if you knew how to stop, you would!!

No one wants to suffer endless pain through cancer or heart problems or anything else related to smoking for that matter, you just put it to the back of your mind though, because you know that some part of you, wants and needs that cigarette. Until it happens to you or your very nearest and dearest you don’t really think about these things, its put on the back burner. I have helped clients who have had close family members suffer with smoking related illnesses but still find the draw of the nicotine- or whatever else is involved too much to resist.

It all comes down to this- if you were addicted to cigarettes- I mean really addicted like a crack or heroin addict would you really be able to sleep properly at night? Do you get 6-8 hours sleep or more per night? of course - you smoke but you still manage to sleep, crack addicts don’t get that relief without using other drugs to help them sleep. So its fair to say that nicotine may have its appeal- as far as some part of you is concerned, but addiction is a strong word. A compelling urge is a more likely truth, what the inner mind wants- it usually gets. We all have an inner mind whether we like to think so or not- we need our brain to work on things in the background so another part of us can concentrate on doing something else at the same time. This isnt some new age mumbo jumbo- our subconscious minds help us learn speech for example when we are babies, our subconscious mind takes care of controlling our inner emotions- how often have you got angry but didn’t really want to get that mad.

It is true to say that nicotine as a chemical, can effect certain things in the brains functioning- this can be proven scientifically- BUT and this is the crux of the matter, what controls all these chemicals and related effects- our minds. And where is our mind? science cant tell you that because it is not a tangible object, it cant be removed at autopsy, its not really there in a sense. Our minds control all of our lives even if we cant see it we know ‘its’ there.

The thing about hypnosis is along these lines, its hard to explain, but it too has phenomenal power although it cant be seen, recent studies on the brain do show certain areas of the brain are utilised when in hypnosis. Hypnosis can stop you smoking permanently. I have found that jut 1 session which has been honed to perfection over many years can stop my clients smoking for good.

Just 1 session lasting around 1.5 hours can defeat the need or the drive for cigarettes,
if you have been a smoker for many years. It should follow that, if it is an innate drive that you cant help which makes you smoke, even though you know inside you hate it then it is the subconscious mind which needs to be persuaded to relinquish its hold on you. Hypnosis to stop smoking is a tried and tested method of smoking cessation. Hypnosis is not dangerous, you are not asleep in fact you are fully aware so the notion of mind control is a myth. Unlike drugs, there are no side effects and it is a lasting effective solution to help you stop smoking for good NATURALLY.
