Smoking
Smoking is one of the most difficult habits to quit due to the addictive nature of nicotine and the psychological reliance many people develop over time. While various methods exist to help smokers quit using as nicotine patches, gum, or medications.
Smoking is both physical and psychological addiction. Nicotine, a highly addictive substance, triggers the release of dopamine in the brain, creating feelings of pleasure and relaxation. Over time, smokers develop a strong physical dependence on nicotine. The habit of smoking becomes deeply ingrained in the smoker’s subconscious mind, tied to certain routines, emotions, or situations, like having a cigarette with coffee or using smoking as a way to cope with stress. These subconscious triggers can make it extremely difficult to quit, even when a person is fully aware of the health risks.
By reprogramming the mind’s response to smoking you could help create a lasting behavioural change for a long term. Withdrawal symptoms can be one of the biggest challenges for a smoker. During a session, we will discuss and set goals as to what you would like to achieve for a meaningful outcome. I will guide you into a state of focused relaxation, allowing access to the subconscious. Hypnotherapy can help by altering smoking associations, reducing cravings or building a stronger resolve or addressing emotional triggers.
