Do You Need the Services of a Quit Smoking Hypnotist?
Sunday, June 27th, 2010There are many people who have become bitterly disappointed with the conventional quit smoking methods such as relying on medications. Although the latter show a good percentage rate of success in smoking cessation, they do not work at all for many people due to a large number of factors. So, you are more than likely to start considering some more unconventional alternatives. Going for the services of a quit smoking hypnotist is really fashionable lately and a lot of people swear that this particular type of mental therapy helped them stop smoking for good. Still, you should not jump into any method before learning the basic facts about it.
The quit smoking hypnotist applies hypnosis to treat this addiction. Hypnosis is a method of affecting a person’s mind on a subconscious level through suggestions. As a result the person who has been hypnotized can change their subconscious feelings, attitudes and beliefs. In the case of smoking cessation one can use this method to suppress the negative side effects such as anxiety and anger and to reduce the feeling of depression. In general hypnosis is a way for relaxation and promotion of positivism. Thus, the person who is using hypnosis to treat their addiction can successfully use their positive state of mind for further motivation and for overcoming cigarette craving and smoking urges in various situations.
Hypnosis is considered to be a safe procedure in general. It is impossible for someone to influence you to do things that you do not want to do. In fact, this type of quit smoking treatment will be totally inefficient unless you fully trust the quit smoking hypnotist and willingly allow for the induction. You will usually be aware of everything that is going on around you during the procedure. You are not likely to experience any side effects during and after the induction.
It is worth pointing out that the quit smoking hypnotist does not necessarily have to be a professional person. In all cases it is best to have a certified hypnotherapist perform the inductions, but it is also possible to ask a friend to do it. In such a case the other person is called a hypnosis partner. With the development of technology you can also go for self quit smoking hypnosis using a recording made specifically for this purpose. Thus, you have the opportunity to pick a treatment you will feel most comfortable with in order to get the optimal results.
There have not been many studies to prove the efficiency of hypnosis for smoking cessation, but one of the most recent ones has revealed that a three month treatment with one hypnotherapy session a week resulted in 60% of the participants abstaining form smoking. A similar figure has been produced by similar studies as well.
So, you might as well try using the services of a quit smoking hypnotist if you are comfortable with such a treatment. Keep in mind, thought, that not all smokers willing to quit respond to such a treatment in the same way and the level of success will depend on your personal attitude.
