How You Can Give Up Smoking With Hypnotherapy in Harley Street*

quit-smokingSo the month of ‘Stoptober’ is over for this year and despite your best intentions you are still smoking. Firstly, you shouldn’t see this solely as a failure, but simply as something in which you haven’t yet succeeded. Without doubt, giving up smoking on your own is even more difficult, but at the Conway Practice in Harley Street, help to stop smoking is available whenever you need it*.

According to research, anyone who is able to give up smoking for 28 days is five times more likely not to start again*. However, for many during this four week period, nicotine patches and gum or even e-cigarettes will only replace one habit with another, making it far easier to smoke again.

It’s essential to uncover the root cause of why someone finds it so hard to quit and although nicotine is physically addictive, there is also a psychological compulsion which needs to be addressed.

During hypnotherapy sessions in Harley Street with Jonathan Conway, the crucial question ‘do you genuinely want to stop smoking for your own reasons’ will be asked. Or are you being forced into giving up by others? If the decision is yours alone and you are self-motivated, you will have a far higher chance of succeeding*.  During hypnosis you will experience a state of calm and comfort and although deeply relaxed, you will remain in complete control throughout. This is often compared to the same feeling you have while you are day-dreaming*.

Jonathan will help you to release the thoughts stored in your sub-conscious, determining why you want to give up the habit and what your expectations are once you are no longer a smoker*.
Do you see yourself as healthier, fitter and perhaps wealthier, when you are no longer ‘burning money’ for cigarettes?

Hypnotherapy sessions in Harley Street with Jonathan are very much tailored to the individual, with no ‘one size fits all approach’. Generally, in order to stop smoking it’s necessary to understand why you started. If parents or older siblings smoked you may well have followed suit and accepted this as a ‘normal’ thing for people to do*.

Once the teenage years arrive there’s often peer pressure to follow ‘the gang’ in order to be accepted and fit in. Then comes the stress of exams and finding a job, coupled with the chance of showing independence and to behave as an adult. If you have a low stress tolerance, it can be easy to turn to an external substance when you are anxious, instead of relying on your inner coping mechanism*.

Hypnotherapy in Harley Street will help you to discover resources you may be completely unaware of*

Once you are without cravings, with no automatic response to reach for a cigarette even during stressful situations, this can be a life-changing experience*.
