The simple answer is we are never 'cured' whatever that is supposed to mean. In the same context of what is 'normal' are we ever normal and what normal is to one person is not normal for another. Maybe it means conforming. Fitting in with what society tells us we should be doing.
Therapists, and certain,y in the case of hypnotherapists, plant suggestions and ideas into your unconscious mind, the part of your memory store. If those ideas fit in with how you want to be, or the goals you have set for yourself, most probably you will find yourself heading towards those goals easily.
When you don't think hypnosis has worked for you is when you are still doing the behaviours you were doing before, or not doing some things you expected to do as a result of hypnosis.
What it really means is that either you did not respond well enough to the therapist, or did not feel comfortable wi them. It also means you quite like the behaviours too well and part of you does not want to give them up. This could be out of your conscious awareness, hence you find yourself saying things like, 'but I don't want to be this way'.
You have to it some effort in and go with the suggestions and seeds that are planted in your unconscious.
If you want to stop smoking, you have to tell yourself that smoking will kill you, or at least do enough harm to your body and immune system, and then really believe that. In the same way you believe that entering a lions den will more than likely kill you. See the cigarette as an enemy. Eating less will result n gradual weight loss. Believe it, and believe that eating too much will harm you emotionally as well as physically.
Go to therapy wi the idea that you will do as much work as the therapist, and not expect them to cure you. They are there to plant the seeds. Your are there to nurture the and make sure they blossom.
