How many inner arguments have you had in your head about your smoking habit? How many times have you complained to family and friends that you want to stop but seem to continue to smoke away despite the health risks and the wasted money? And how many programs have you tried that just failed? If you are like most people addicted to smoking, you will remember such inner dramas and may have felt nothing will really come through for you. Unless you tried NLP and hypnosis to quit smoking, you may have been on target. If you sincerely want to quit smoking, hypnotherapy is the sensible choice for true success. Smoking cessation hypnotherapy can zone in on the most significant reasons that keep you smoking as well as giving you the tools and guidance to be successful for good. This is not smoke and mirrors, but a proven treatment approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with recognized certification and strict rules of conduct. Treatment with hypnosis doesn't override values and a reputable practitioner will honor your privacy and protect your rights like any other medical professional. You do need a practitioner who is verified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who adheres to their stringent code of ethics and professional conduct. Included in their code is making the mental and physical welfare of all clients foremost. They also defend clients from verbal, mental or physical, and make outside referrals as required. A well trained practitioner has the experience and training to address problem behavior, and hypnotherapy to quit smoking is the second most frequent type they practice. Using the most current methods which may include the precision of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the ongoing extra support of self hypnosis stop smoking CD's as well as any physician directed measures a primary care physician might also suggest for a patient. Using hypnotherapy does not mean other measures are prohibited, but they may not be needed at all. The reason that skillfully used smoke cessation hypnotherapy is the most effective method to reach success is that it addresses the three basic concerns in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue totally and correct the problems each causes. Most people think that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important element and the worst problem, but this is simply not the case. If the addiction to the substance called nicotine were the single reason for failure, most smokers would not fail multiple times in their efforts to quit for good. Yes, nicotine is a dramatically addictive substance and for most smokers the physical need is very real and there are withdrawal physical responses that are also real. But did you know these last only a short time? In fact, every bit of nicotine is metabolized out of the system in just 72 hours or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal symptoms and not the reality that causes the most distress and which may prevent even trying. Yet quitting without training has an average five percent success rate! Hypnosis to quit smoking reduces fear of withdrawal problems and greatly reduces the effect of any that do result. Another characteristic of smoking is that it provides calming and comfort, just as sucking on a pacifier tranquilizes a baby. Many people treat stress and anxiety with some form of oral activity like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can replace the comfort factor obtained from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the insistent urges and produces stop smoking benefits instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same sensations from other activities that are beneficial, not harmful. Neuro-linguistic programming techniques can train the brain to remove any connection between smoking cigarettes and comfort. In conclusion, part of the smoking bondage is plain old Pavlovian conditioning. Smokers learn to associate smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliché of the cigarette after physical relations to feeling the need for a cigarette while drinking or watching TV or chatting on the phone. Here quit smoking hypnosis can permanently eliminate the connection, and when the link is no longer present, there will be no cue to have a smoke when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is presented. The mind is trained to associate beneficial things with the former triggers, or to recall the helpful effects of quitting or the negatives of the cigarette. A highly qualified hypnotherapist will use both negative and positive associations to replace programmed associations with smoking, selecting those most compelling for an individual client. Hypnosis to stop smoking is the only modality that can precision tune the treatment to each of the three reasons for smoking and eliminate them. Anyone knows quitting requires support, but only smoking cessation hypnosis effectively make you your own instant and always available support system.
