Quit nicotine and beat bad habits

Quitting smoking can be challenging, often accompanied by cravings, irritability, and feelings of loss. It can feel like a constant internal battle between habit and desire for change. You may want freedom from nicotine, or other unhelpful habits, but feel overwhelmed by the emotional and physical symptoms of withdrawal.

Hypnotherapy for quitting smoking and other habits helps break this cycle by targeting the subconscious mind where habits are deeply rooted. Through guided relaxation, it reshapes your responses to cravings, reinforcing a sense of control, calm, and freedom. 

If you aren't sure whether hypnotherapy can help you stop smoking, there is some encouraging research. Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for smoking cessation.

- A 2014 randomised controlled trial of 164 smokers with severe lung illnesses found that those who received hypnotherapy were more likely to remain non-smokers at 3 and 6 months post-hospitalisation compared to those using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or a combination of both.

- A 2012 meta-analysis suggested hypnotherapy may help smokers quit, but it called for more research to determine how it compares to other methods.

- A 2019 meta-study of 14 studies concluded that hypnotherapy was as effective as behavioural interventions for quitting smoking.

Where underlying and long-standing unhelpful beliefs are supporting a habit or dependancy, integrating hypnotherapy with Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy can help you to identify the root causes and reframe a new and more positive philosophy of life.
