Anti-smoking therapy

The reasons behind starting smoking may have been for any number of different reasons, social acceptance, to help with stress, because friends/family smoke. Whatever the reason it would have been taken on board by your subconscious as a necessity for you, so even when you consciously decide you want to stop smoking and you are aware of all the risks, your subconscious is still promoting smoking. So your conscious mind and subconscious mind are in battle, and when this is the case, the subconscious usually wins. This is why only 3% of people who stop smoking use willpower alone.

This is why hypnotherapy is very successful. When in a hypnotic state the information in your subconscious mind can be accessed and those past beliefs can be taken and replaced with the ones you already know consciously, that you are a non-smoker and no longer want, or need to smoke.

An important factor for the success of hypnotherapy is that you are 100% on board, it is down to your intent to want to stop. If there is any doubt in your mind then your subconscious will protect those past beliefs and affect the success of the therapy.
