\"StopSmoking, despite its well-documented health risks, remains a habit for many. Friends and family may ask you why you continue to smoke and haven\u2019t managed to stop. Although the nicotine dependence plays a significant part, there are other issues to consider. If you are committed to becoming a non-smoker, support to quit smoking with hypnotherapy in Brighton<\/a> is available at The Conway Practice.* During therapeutic intervention with hypnosis, Jonathan Conway will explore the emotional factors related to your habit and identify the subconscious triggers and emotions related to your relationship with smoking.*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While nicotine is without doubt an addictive substance, the withdrawal symptoms are relatively short-lived and can be overcome within a short period of time. What remains however, is the emotional connection with smoking. Hypnotherapy is a holistic approach<\/a> which addresses the reliance on smoking as a coping mechanism to manage stress and anxiety.* The habitual hand-to-mouth action is triggered without any conscious awareness and many smokers feel a sense of relaxation and stress relief when lighting a cigarette.* This perceived stress reduction can be attributed in part to the ritualistic nature of smoking, providing a momentary distraction which can temporarily alleviate negative emotions. The act of inhaling smoke, the taste of tobacco, and the ritual of lighting a cigarette can be pleasurable in themselves, appealing to the senses and offering moments of sensory gratification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Smoking is also deeply ingrained in social and cultural contexts, contributing to its pleasurable associations. For some, smoking is intertwined with socialising, providing a means to bond with others over shared experiences and a form of social mirroring. Whether during a work break, at a social gathering, or in designated smoking areas, the act of smoking fosters connections and friendship among fellow smokers, enhancing its perceived pleasure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Additionally, for long-term smokers, the habit becomes deeply ingrained in their daily routines and lifestyles. The association between smoking and certain activities or environments can trigger a conditioned response, with feelings of comfort and pleasure merely through familiarity and habit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While you are deeply relaxed under hypnosis, your subconscious mind will be more receptive to positive suggestion.* Any negative beliefs can be re-framed with positive affirmations, while also introducing new coping methods and relaxation techniques to manage stress and reduce anxiety.* Your sense of self-worth can also be increased to provide greater confidence in social situations, reducing the compulsion to smoke as a means of bonding with others.*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
