The Subconscious Traps
How Hypnosis Helps Hypnosis helps by going to the root of the habit, and removing it from there. By understanding the reasons for the addiction, many people are able to stop. The cravings are diminished and healthy choices are established to replace the smoking ones. Stress is reduced with hypnosis and the process of simple cessation becomes possible with repetition and follow up. Smoking can be replaced with other tools for coping. Recordings are available for greater success and increased motivation.
In Hypnosis it is direct repetition. The straight line, get to it, orders given. Done. Hypnotherapy connects to all that was involved in the habit and all that’s needed to establish a greater connection to the image of success. It speaks to the subconscious in its way of understanding - directly or inferred. Because the mind doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined visions - becoming the image of an ex-smoker is clearer and easier to attain. Using hypnosis has been proven to help people quit smoking with greater results.
