Are you Ready to Stop Smoking
You know that smoking is bad for you, you are aware of the increased risk of developing lung cancer, the damage caused to your immune system, and the drain smoking has on your finances.
You know all of this, but you just cannot seem to quit. You may have tried, losengers, patches or even medication but they either haven’t worked, or worked only for a short time.
If you truly want to stop smoking then you can, provided you have the desire for change. Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) gets to the root cause of why you started smoking, and when you have this information, you will come to realise that you don’t need cigarettes in your life today.
The objective of a RTT session for quitting smoking is to replace the desire to smoke with a new thought patterns that give you a stronger desire to stop. In order to do this, you will be taken into a deep relaxation, often referred to as “trance”, using specialised meditation techniques.
You will be in complete control of everything that happens, and you will still be aware of where you are and what is happening at all times.
During this state of deep relaxation, your unconscious mind is extremely receptive to suggestions and new thoughts. You will feel, see, hear and experience all of the positive effects of quitting smoking and your mind will become “reprogrammed” to become indifferent to cigarettes and other smoking aids.
Even when in the company of smokers, you will not be tempted to smoke, as it no longer interests you.
Can Hypnotherapy Really Help Me Stop Smoking
The short answer to this question is a resounding “yes”! The only thing you will need in order to use Hypnosis to help you quit is the desire to change. If you approach a therapy session simply because you have been nagged by others your chances of succeeding are much slimmer than if you seek out a solution because you know that you really want to stop smoking.
How Does It Work?
There are still some individuals who remain sceptical about the efficacy of Hypnosis in changing thoughts and behaviours, despite an abundance of scientific evidence to the contrary. The truth can be found in a study of the way our brains work, as well as those parts of our brain that we are usually unaware of. Do you worry that you will “forget” to breathe when you are asleep? Of course not. Your brain’s autonomic nervous system has it all in hand and you do not need to engage your conscious mind to ensure that you continue to breathe.
In the same way, our mind is constantly receiving signals from your unconscious about many aspects of your daily life. You are constantly being exposed to new experiences, some of which are very pleasant, some not so much. When you start a behaviour that you think is pleasant and helpful to you a new neural pathway starts to build in your brain so that you can do it again. The more you do it, the more automatic it becomes.
Unfortunately, the same is true for habits, thoughts and behaviours that are not helpful to you. Your mind is not a policeman or benevolent teacher, shielding you from dangerous or risky situations. It simply obeys the thoughts and feelings you give it. So, somewhere along the line, you thought that smoking was a pleasurable thing to do and a new neural pathway was constructed in your brain to keep you repeating the action.
Hypnosis works to change the connections in your brain and to build new neural pathways that supersede the old wanted ones.
What To Expect?
The objective of a Hypnotherapy session for quitting smoking is to replace the desire to smoke with a new thought pattern that gives you a stronger desire to stop. In order to do this, your therapist will take you, through talking, into a state of deep relaxation, often referred to as “trance”. You will still be in complete control of everything that happens, and you will still be aware of where you are and what is happening at all times.
During this state of deep relaxation, your unconscious mind is extremely receptive to suggestions and new thoughts. You will feel, see, hear and experience all of the positive effects of quitting smoking and your mind will become “reprogrammed” to avoid cigarettes and other smoking aids.
It really can be that simple! Many people require only one session of Hypnotherapy to help them to stop smoking for good. What have you got to lose?
