The therapists at Make It Happen Hypnotherapy look at the psychological aspects of the smoking problem, i.e. identify the patterns of distress, cognitive distortions, and negative core beliefs. They ask you to think about: What smoking means to you? How do you feel about it? What it represents for you? How did you start smoking? What did you use smoking for in the past? And why do you continue to smoke?
Our hypnotherapists will take you back into the past when you started smoking in the first place. They will find out the root cause of your first cigarette, whether it was peer pressure, need to fit in, desire to feel cool, being a rebel, a trial to numb your feelings for staying away from distress, or any other thing.
Once our Hypnotherapists find out the root cause of your first cigarette, we will understand the circumstances at that time in your life. Then, we will reframe your smoking thought patterns formed at the subconscious level so as to change your perception of it.
It is also important to explore how you view yourself. Usually, the problem isn’t the cigarette itself, but it is how you think about yourself. If you picked up a cigarette wanting to fit in or be cool in the first place, our hypnotherapists would need to work on self-worth.
Some people might see themselves as a failure when they pick up the cigarette again. During the quit smoking hypnosis sessions, the hypnotherapists at MIHH will strengthen your belief that you can quit smoking for good. By removing any fear at the back of your mind, you will be a 100% non-smoker.
Hypnotherapy for quitting smoking when combined with Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (E-CBT), effectively recognizes and addresses the triggers of smoking and works on them to prevent future relapses.
During Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation sessions, you will learn to deal with your stress, counter your negative emotions, and develop new and effective coping strategies. With powerful relaxation techniques, you will rehearse the new coping strategies in the state of trance so you will be able to cope with any difficult situations with ease and take back the control in reality.
