According to the NHS, stopping smoking (which kills two out of three life-long smokers) is one of the best things you can do for your health. This does not, as many people do, mean turning to vaping instead. The addictive nature of vaping, with its allure and accessibility, has also become a significant public health concern, especially amongst young people. Recent research (October 2023) shows that the number of children using vapes in the past three years has tripled with 20.5% of children aged between 11-17 having tried vaping.
Quitting smoking or vaping can be a challenging task and often feels like an uphill battle that requires more than sheer willpower. One increasingly recognised and successful approach is hypnotherapy which delves into the subconscious mind, where you can rewire thought patterns and associations linked to smoking and vaping.
The subconscious mind is responsible for our automatic thoughts, behaviours and habits. It operates below our conscious awareness, making it difficult to change these ingrained patterns of behaviour. At the core of hypnotherapy lies the principle of accessing the subconscious mind, where smoking and vaping addictions often have deep-seated roots. A trained hypnotherapist will guide you into a relaxed state of mind, known as trance. In this state, your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to reprogramming thought patterns related to smoking and vaping.
Cravings are a formidable adversary for those seeking to quit smoking or vaping. Hypnotherapy helps to diminish these intense urges by addressing the subconscious triggers that initiate them. By altering the mental associations with smoking and vaping, people can experience a reduction in cravings, making it easier to break free from the habitual cycle.
Unlike conventional methods which may take weeks or months, hypnotherapy often produces immediate results after just one session. Each person’s journey with smoking or vaping is unique, and hypnotherapists tailor their sessions to address specific triggers and challenges. This personalised approach ensures that the therapy resonates with the individual, increasing the likelihood of the success of quitting.
Smoking and vaping are not merely physical habits; they often carry significant emotional and psychological weight. Hypnotherapy delves into these attachments, exploring the emotions behind smoking or vaping. By identifying and modifying these emotional connections, then equipping clients with relaxation techniques and coping mechanisms, a qualified hypnotherapist can unravel layers of addiction and foster a healthier mindset. This helps to break the connection between emotion and the impulse to smoke or vape.
Hypnotherapy is not a magic solution, it’s a collaborative process that provides people with the tools and support needed to make lasting changes. In just one session, this innovative approach unlocks the subconscious mind, addresses the root causes of smoking/vaping and reshapes thought patterns to enable a smoke-free future.
