How Does Hypnosis Work

By Arthur M. Taylor


Lets look at how you may be able to stop smoking using hypnosis. You can consult a stop smoking hypnotist, it would be best, however, to choose a licensed therapist that treats a variety of conditions, rather than just a hypnotist that states they can help you quit smoking after just one session. So, how does hypnosis work with quitting smoking.Every smoker knows that it's bad for their health, but many smokers continue the habit for decades. Each year they experience a decline in their health. But why do people take up the habit and why do they find it hard to quit?

If many non-pharmacologic interventions haven't helped you kick out the habit of smoking, don't lose hope. Consult your physician if hypnosis is an advantage for you. Studies shows that hypnosis can help people quit from smoking.What is hypnosis? Hypnosis is characterized as a changed state of awareness wherein people appear to be asleep or in trance. Clinical hypnosis is utilized to handle some physical and psychological problems. For example, it is usually performed to assist patients control pain. It is also utilized in many different kinds of conditions like weight problems, speech difficulties, and addiction problems.

A hypnotherapist is trained to guide a person into a trance. A trance 'tunes down' the conscious mind allowing greater access to the subconscious part. A good hypnotherapist is then able to communicate with the subconscious mind using metaphors, visualizations, and slow clear language.

A trained hypnotherapist can then tell the subconscious mind that a spider is nothing to be feared. They might for example guide the subject to visualize a spider dressed up as a clown, looking as ridiculous as possible. They may use special slow clear language to also relay this message. If this is done correctly, it will send out a strong message to the subconscious mind that a spider is not threatening, in a way that it understands. Once the subconscious mind understands this, it will no longer trigger the automatic fear response and a phobia is then cured.

If you choose hypnosis to help you quit smoking you should feel more relaxed and in control. Your intention to quit should still be clear in your mind. Your subconscious mind will kick in and help you to ignore the urge to "light up". If you choose to quit smoking using hypnosis, you will avoid becoming dependent on nicotine replacement therapy and also avoid the side effects associated with prescription drugs.

There are many self-help techniques out there, each designed to help you get yourself to where you want to be, in any facet of life. Whether you want to forget a painful experience, quit a bad habit, or get better at something you love doing, there are different types of books, therapies, group sessions and meditation tapes designed to help you meet these goals.

One of the most popular forms of 'help' for any of the above problems is hypnosis. A hypnotist, or 'hypnotherapist,' as they prefer to be called, speaks with the subconscious mind while the client is in a hyper-responsive and attentive state. The main question most people are asking is: Does hypnosis really work? The first thing to understand about hypnosis is: some people are more easily hypnotized than others, and it has nothing to do with whether a person is easily influenced, submissive, or gullible. People who are more intellectual and attentive, who love to read or listen to music are more easily hypnotized than people who have short attention spans.

Hypnosis is said to work by changing a person's state of consciousness with reduced peripheral awareness accompanied by strictly focused attention. The subconscious takes over the conscious mind, while the subconscious mind is a deeper-seated, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part which has to change for the patient's behavior and physical state to alter.

Now looking back, I remember how easy it was for me to quit smoking, I was amazed when I realized that I stopped having a craving for cigarettes and that I never gave smoking another thought.The bottom line is hypnosis works!
