One of the more common uses of hypnosis is stop smoking hypnotherapy in London. The therapy uses hypnosis to help the subject stop smoking. The effectiveness of the therapy is mixed but there does appear to be a degree of success noted.
Hypnosis is the practice of putting a patient into a relaxed state of mind that makes him or her hyper sensitive to suggestions given by the hypnotist, it is drug free. The hypnotist gives the patient verbal directions staring with a very deep state of relaxation. As an individual under the state of hypnosis, you are not unconscious; as a matter of fact your mind is very keen and focused to the max on the subject matter, in this case smoking.
During a session of stop smoking hypnotherapy in London, the patient is fully aware of his or her surroundings and fully conscious and awake. At this time the patient is very sensitive to the suggestions being made by the hypnotist. During the state of heightened awareness the subject is more liable to respond to suggestions and thoughts which will be introduced into the subconscious mind. Because the subject is open to suggestions there is an excellent chance that the undesirable habit can be eliminated.
When the subject makes the first appointment with the therapist they discuss the reasons for the subject to want to quit smoking. During this consultation the hypnotist will amass personal information about the subject including the emotional issues that is making it hard to quit smoking. During the time when the person is in a hypnotic trance, these personal reasons for wanting to quit will be brought out and reinforced.
The idea during sessions of stop smoking hypnotherapy in London is to change the attitudes and the supporting emotions that the subject has regarding smoking. The emotions that the patient has which are positive regards to smoking will be replaced with equally negative ones; this is done through suggestion and visualization techniques.
