Quitting smoking
Smoking – risks for health, freedom, and quality of life
Smoking and nicotine addiction have serious effects on health and well-being. They increase the risk of severe illnesses such as COPD, lung cancer, heart attack, stroke, and numerous other types of cancer. During pregnancy, smoking can lead to miscarriage, premature birth, and developmental disorders in the child.
Nicotine is highly addictive, creating a cycle of dependence, withdrawal, and relapse. In addition to its health consequences, smoking also causes financial strain and restricts social life due to smoking bans in many places. Moreover, secondhand smoke endangers the health of non-smokers and increases their risk of respiratory, heart, and cancer-related diseases.
Smoking and nicotine addiction are problematic for several reasons and can have significant negative effects on health and well-being.
Relaxation and focus
During a hypnosis session, you are guided into a deeply relaxed state. This allows your mind to be more open to positive suggestions.
Subconscious programming
In this state, you can anchor new thought patterns and behaviors. For example, you can reduce your craving for cigarettes or strengthen your motivation to remain smoke-free.
Changing associations
Hypnosis can help reduce negative associations with smoking (e.g., the belief that smoking relieves stress) and promote positive alternatives.
Strengthening willpower
Through suggestions, your self-confidence is strengthened to resist the urge to smoke.
What exactly happens during hypnosis?
The therapist guides you into a deep state of relaxation, similar to a trance-like state. In this state, you are highly receptive to suggestions aimed at changing your behavior. After the session, you usually feel calmer and more motivated to remain smoke-free.
Important: Hypnosis is not a cure-all, but rather a supportive method. For lasting success, it is often useful to combine it with other measures such as counseling, behavioral therapy, or nicotine replacement products. Equally crucial is your determination to live completely smoke-free.
