A smoking habit goes beyond the nicotine addiction, and frequently becomes an unhealthy practice to manage stress and anxiety. At The Conway Practice in Harley Street, hypnosis to stop smoking provides a holistic approach to therapeutically explore the origin of your habitual behaviour.* Once this is identified, new coping strategies can be introduced, enabling you to manage any emotional issues which are associated with your smoking dependence.*
The hand-to-mouth action of smoking is often a need for instant gratification, and is a toxic habit-forming cycle that starts with a subconscious trigger. The short-lived physical affect of nicotine provides immediate relief, as a quick fix to deal with stressful situations and feelings. This is reinforced through repetition, and is commonly associated with specific environments and activities at certain times of the day, such as after meals, socialising, or during work breaks. Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis, will help you to quit the smoking habit by recognising negative thoughts and beliefs which have been a barrier to becoming a non-smoker.*
If you have low self-esteem and confidence, smoking may become your coping method to bond with fellow smokers in your social circle, and often begins during adolescence to feel part of a peer group, and can lead to a long-term dependence. If you smoke to manage the ‘fight or flight’ stress response, during hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan Conway, healthier coping mechanisms can be applied to reduce anxiety, with relaxation techniques and positive affirmations.* Positive visualisation will enable you to appreciate how quitting smoking will improve your emotional well-being and physical health.*
Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective therapeutic process for smoking cessation, which takes place in a relaxed and comfortable environment.* Contrary to the assumption of many, you will remain fully in control throughout the session, and hypnosis is often referred to as an experience similar to the state of mind during a day-dream.* Everything discussed with Jonathan will be in the strictest of confidence and without judgement.*
Jonathan Conway has almost 30 years of professional experience as a highly qualified Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, and NLP Coach. If you are unable to visit The Conway Practice in Harley Street for stop smoking therapy, remote sessions are also available by Zoom, Skype or telephone.*
