Because Hypnosis Does Not Rely on Willpower...
We've all heard the statistics...smoking greatly increases our risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke. We now know that second-hand smoke places our friends and family at risk as well. Of the 46.5 million smokers in the US, the Center for Disease Control estimates that 70% want to quit.
So, Knowing What We Know...Why Don't We Just Stop Smoking?
Because facts and figures rely on logic and reason, functions of the conscious mind. As humans, we are driven by emotion, not logic. Our emotions reside in the subconscious mind. Habits such as smoking are, by definition, repetitive behaviors rooted in emotion. This emotional component is why willpower is so often ineffective in kicking the cigarette habit. We smoke to comfort ourselves when we feel stressed and we smoke to celebrate when we feel good. We reach for a cigarette with that first morning cup of coffee, or when we get in our car to head out for the day. Over time, these repetitive behaviors form powerful emotional associations.
Willpower Is No Match for Emotion...
To overcome cravings and stop smoking for good, we must change the feelings we associate with cigarettes. During hypnosis, the conscious mind is bypassed, allowing suggestions to be given directly to the subconscious. Many smokers quit easily and effortlessly, experiencing little or no craving to smoke.
