Do you regularly decide you want to give up your smoking habit but find yourself coming up with a reason that this isn’t the right time? Your excuses may be due to facing stressful issues, wanting to feel comfortable in social situations with other smokers or perhaps to aid concentration. Although working from home during the recent lock-down has reduced social interaction, many have found that the level of smoking has increased while there has been no daily restriction on where or when you smoke. Boredom plays a significant part in the hand to mouth habit with subconscious prompts to reach for a cigarette, even without the physical need for nicotine. Help is available to quit smoking with hypnosis in Brighton at The Conway Practice.* If you prefer your hypnotherapy sessions to be from the familiar surroundings of your home or want to avoid travelling, one-to-one appointments with Jonathan Conway can be carried out remotely by Zoom, Skype or telephone.
The association with smoking and certain activities or at specific times of the day is subconscious and although nicotine is an extremely addictive substance, the daily habits and routines can be more difficult to overcome. During therapeutic sessions with hypnosis, Jonathan will explore your dependence on smoking, the patterns of behaviour and your motivation for wanting to stop.* No one can be made to do anything against their will while under hypnosis and pressure from family or friends won’t be a sufficient incentive to make the change. The commitment needs to come from within yourself, not simply to please others.*
By addressing the emotional reasons behind your smoking habit, negative self-beliefs can be replaced with positive affirmations and changes to your life-style.*
New coping mechanisms and relaxation methods can help you to reduce stress and anxiety, without the reliance on having a cigarette to hand.* Hypnotherapy in Brighton for smoking cessation is goal-directed and focuses on resolving the issues responsible for your dependence, with healthier patterns of behaviour replacing self-destructive habits.*
