Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy
Stop Smoking and Beat Addiction with a Science Based Approach
Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help with a range of habits and addictions, anything from nail biting and thumb sucking to stopping smoking and combating alcohol. However, it is not recommended that you attempt to resolve more than one habit at a time. Habits and addictions are behavioural responses to internal and external triggers, they are not who you are and they don’t have to continue to control your life.
Your Craving Brain
What’s interesting about addiction is that some of the internal triggers are physiological, most people who are experiencing addiction aren’t aware of the changes that have occurred in the brain. These changes facilitate the struggle to stop smoking or any other addiction that you know is bad for you. Simply put your brain doesn’t think it’s bad, in fact your brain thinks it’s essential to your survival. Understanding that your craving isn’t a weakness in you, but a misguided survival system can be very empowering. Here’s a video to explain the science, don’t worry it’s in layman’s terms.

If we recap your brain has been tricked into thinking the smoking or other addictive substance is necessary for survival. It’s going to scream and shout and resist taking that away, in the same way you’d struggle if someone tried to starve you of oxygen.

Safe Guard Your Future
Once we’ve cleared out anything that has prevented you from stopping the behaviour or addiction you currently have, it’s important to safe guard your future. Many people worry that by stopping one habit they may form another, or put on weight etc. This doesn’t have to happen because the very patterns that caused the sequence of behaviour and addiction, are those we are going to change – you just won’t be that same person by the time we are finished. You may not yet be aware of who you are without those patterns that currently control your life; so part of your treatment plan will involve identifying new ways to fill those gaps to discover what is possible beyond addiction. The new you that emerges beyond addiction can begin to live a life of purpose and meaning.
