Often it is a mystery how hypnosis does work so well with people who want to stop smoking. It even helps people who don't really want to stop but must. How does it work? I have no idea really, except to say that it seems to work on an unconscious level which somehow re-programmes the mind into thinking another way.
An example of what people have said about hypnosis regarding smoking:
'I thought I would come out of the session and smoke, but strangely enough I had no desire to want to'
'I went into the session craving for a cigarette and then came out not even wanting one'
'After the session I lit a cigarette and it tasted truly disgusting. I felt sick'
'My care really smelt horrible and I had a compulsion to go home and clean it out'
'I washed my body, hair and clothes to get rid of the horrible smell of smoke'
How does all these experiences happen? Change of thought process? Change of mind? Or maybe it is just that it feels right to be a non smoker and easier to stop without the cravings.
Hypnosis is successful with many people with a very high success rate. Never 100% because everyone is different, but for many people, it is the ultimate way to stop and stay stopped
