If you have tried to give up your smoking habit in the past, and have not succeeded, this may in part be to not understanding the emotional elements to your dependence. Smoking is often more than just a chemical addiction to nicotine, it’s also a deeply ingrained habit, particularly the oral fixation of having something in your mouth. This habitual behaviour can make quitting smoking especially difficult, even when nicotine cravings fade. Therapeutic support to stop smoking with hypnotherapy in Brighton is available at The Conway Practice, or during remote sessions by Zoom, Skype or telephone . Hypnosis offers a powerful solution by targeting the subconscious mind, where these deep-seated patterns are stored.*
Hypnosis is an effective and safe therapeutic process which works by guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, similar to the experience in a pleasant day-dream.* This allows the subconscious mind to become more receptive to positive suggestions.* During your hypnotherapy sessions, Jonathan Conway will guide you in replacing any negative thoughts and beliefs with positive affirmations, enabling the mind to break the association between smoking and the hand-to-mouth habit.*
Visualisation techniques, distraction methods, and alternative coping mechanisms will help you to recognise the subconscious triggers related to the smoking compulsion.* Stress and anxiety are frequently factors in a smoking addiction, due to the brief relief it brings from the nicotine’s chemical effect. This however is merely transient, and doesn’t resolve an ongoing emotional issue. Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis enables calming and relaxation methods to be introduced, making it easier to manage the stress response without the smoking reliance.* This can help you to overcome the hand-to-mouth fixation, with a more relaxed and healthier life-style as a non-smoker.*
With 30 years of professional experience, Jonathan Conway is a highly-qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Coach.
