Hypnosis is extremely effective because it doesn’t rely on ‘willpower’. Willpower doesn’t really exist, it appears to exist when your subconscious mind agrees with your conscious mind.

When you ‘give something up’ (as with willpower alone and some other stop-smoking methods), you often feel deprived. If you experience a stressful day, you may think to yourself, ‘Why have I given up smoking when I enjoy it?’

At such stressful moments your subconscious and conscious mind are at loggerheads and your resolve may weaken. However, your subconscious mind can manage your habits, desires and cravings independently from your conscious efforts.

Hypnosis works because it alters the way your subconscious feels, so it ultimately agrees with your conscious mind, so that, after a stressful day you will think to yourself ‘Wow, that was a hard day, I’m glad I have more energy since stopping smoking to deal with the stress more effectively.’

Hypnosis ‘reframes’ how you feel about smoking so that you are no longer ‘giving up’ which implies losing something. Instead you appreciate how your fitness has improved, how good things taste and smell now that our senses are no longer being damaged by the chemicals you used to inhale. You will notice how your breathing becomes easier and how much more energy you have gained… not to mention the money you have saved!
