Smoking Tobacco
Smoking tobacco is the single most preventable cause of death in the U.S. It has taken the lives of thousands of people; 480,000 American deaths each year to be precise.
Smoking not only harms you but the environment and other people around you as well. Second hand smoking is a huge issue that needs further attention; it poses many heath problems and leads to thousands of deaths of non-smokers each year due to second hand smoke inhalation.
It is difficult to quit smoking. It doesn’t happen in one sitting, with one changed thought. Even with the notorious health facts and statistics on diseases and health issues due to smoking tobacco, people still cannot quit. This is so because quitting requires constant suggestive reasoning that will lead to a long term change in behavior and attitude. Hypnosis is one way that this change can be made possible.
Hypnosis and Quitting Smoking
It is not enough to be aware of the fact that smoking leads to cancer, heart attack and lung disease.
Conscious cognitive readjustment is needed to change perceptions. Hypnosis offers a way out of this deadly addiction by treating patients with hypnotherapy.
It’s just like any other medical treatment where you have to visit a doctor. A hypnotist will first examine you and learn about your smoking and medical history. Then a carefully customized treatment plan will be executed to cater to your personal needs.
Hypnosis allows for suggestive behavioral changes. You will be put in sleep-like, trance-state where you will be aware of your external surroundings. Suggestive messages by your hypnotist will then act as a catalyst to attitude regulation and will influence the mind to make specific choices. These choices will then help you achieve your end goal which is to quit smoking.
Hypnosis does not work in one sitting. The hypnotist won’t provide you with one lecturer or one pill to solve all your problems in an instant. Regular sessions and careful monitoring of your behavior is necessary for the therapy to work.
You can go for hypnotherapy to change your attitude and behavior that would lead to smoking cessation. Contact Blossom Hypnosis and visit their website to find all the services offered in the Rochester area.
