Smoking is a habit difficult to ignore, as it was our own mind that created it. And since it is a subconscious habit, it makes sense to tackle this extremely bad habit at a subconscious level. This can be done with hypnosis or clinical hypnotherapy performed by the words of a professional hypnotherapist.
What is the Success Rate of Going to a Professional?
Finding a reliable clinic is the key to quit smoking. Since you will deal with professionals you can be more than sure that the smoking program is tried and tested and has 100% successful effect. Even though many suggest only one session of hypnotherapy to quit smoking, it is best to have at least four sessions. According to lots of surveys conducted in America, only 25% who quit in the first session remain a non-smoker after one year. However, it is suggested that 4 to 5 sessions can increase this number up to around 70% of people who remain non-smokers for more than a year. These same studies also found that group sessions are not that effective like individual sessions which why you need to ask for an individual session instead of a group one.
The use of recordings to listen to between sessions, as well as the use of cognitive behavioural therapy and choice theory in the session before the hypnotherapy, will also improve the results. Usually, these clinics offer a program that consists of 2 sessions, one week apart and a set of 2 CD’s in order to listen to between the sessions. So, if you choose a quality clinic and use the services of a skilled hypnotherapist you can be more than sure that there will 90% of success.
According to specialists, avoid people who ensure you that they can treat you 100% as it is against the Victorian consumer law to offer a guarantee of an outcome.
