Smoking is a habit The first cigarette that a person smokes is an unpleasant experience, however as with riding a bike, it gets easier and soon becomes a habit. Most stop-smoking programs work at increasing the individual's strength to resist the desire to smoke. They rely on willpower, and as willpower fluctuates like moods and emotions, one day it may be strong, the next day it may be weak. The detrimental effect of smoking on a person's health is now public knowledge, and for this reason many smokers are now looking for ways to quit. Smokers will tell you that they 'enjoy smoking' but in the same breath will probably say that they hate the smell and want to give up anyway. It has been found that people smoke for one of two reasons. Firstly that they are identifying with a peer who smokes and secondly as a replacement for something e.g. eating or affection. How can hypnosis stop smoking? Here at Avanti Hypnotherapy, we use the Valerie Austin Harley Street Technique for smoking cessation. Valerie Austin has successfully being using this technique over the past 15 years at her clinic in Harley Street. Using Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, the link of satisfaction between a part of the subconscious mind and the cigarette will be broken and the desire for a cigarette will be redirected into something more advantageous. Hypnosis takes advantage of the mind's natural ability to imagine and visualize. The clients picture themselves free from the habit, filled with new health, energy and vitality. They can see themselves as looking healthier, more attractive, and being more active.
