Subconscious habits are often deeply ingrained patterns of behaviour that occur automatically and without conscious thought. Smoking is a prime example of this and quitting can be extremely difficult. Support is available to break the smoking habit with hypnotherapy in Harley Street at The Conway Practice, or during online sessions remotely by Zoom, Skype or telephone.* Jonathan Conway has more than 25 years of experience as a qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Coach.
Subconscious habits become automatic over time, allowing us to perform tasks effortlessly. These habits are deeply embedded in our daily routines and we often engage in them with no conscious awareness. However, the impulsive nature of these behaviours makes it difficult to interrupt and change them. Holistic intervention with hypnotherapy tracks and explores the underlying issues responsible for smoking as a coping mechanism.* While you are deeply relaxed during hypnosis and your mind is more receptive to positive suggestion, any negative thoughts and beliefs which impact on your emotional well-being can be reframed, giving a new perspective and resilience to life’s challenges.*
Habitual behaviour is often associated with rewards or positive outcomes, reinforcing the habit loop and creating a strong motivation for continuing to smoke. Overcoming the hand-to-mouth action of smoking means breaking this reward-based conditioning, which can be challenging due to the emotional desire for pleasure and avoidance of discomfort. During the hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan to break the smoking habit, any emotional triggers will be identified, with new coping methods and positive affirmations introduced to reduce your smoking dependence.*
Our surroundings play a significant role in reinforcing subconscious habits. Environmental cues, such as specific locations, social interactions or daily routines can trigger automatic behaviours. For example, mirroring the actions of fellow smokers as a non-conscious peer-bonding response, smoking at certain times of the day or after a meal, even when there is no physical need for nicotine. Breaking habitual behaviour requires these cues to be recognised and modified, which can be complex and require conscious effort. Quitting smoking with hypnotherapy will enable you to recognise the emotional factors related to your habit, which are often associated with stress, boredom, or other negative mindsets.* Relaxation methods and calming techniques will enable you to manage the stress response and enjoy a healthier life-style as a non-smoker.*
