Before anyone can get to my hypnotherapy practice for a
stop smoking session, I need to make sure of one thing. This thing can make or
break the success of the hypnosis session. Without it that person is highly
likely to fail.
The most important aspect that someone needs to have
before visiting a hypnotherapist for a stop smoking session is his or her
'decision'. What I mean is, they must have decided for themselves that they
really do want to stop smoking. If they are booking a hypnosis session because
the wife, husband, mother, father, partner etc has persuaded them that they
should stop smoking then they are likely to falter at some point in
time.
A great example of this is if the girlfriend smokes but has now
stopped because the boyfriend does not like them smoking. The girlfriend
successfully stops smoking and everything seems fine. Then the two of them go
through a bad patch as all relationships can do at times. They decide to split
up and the girlfriend goes back to smoking almost immediately.
Why you
might ask did she do that? Well, it is because the reason for her stopping
smoking is no longer there. She has split from her boyfriend and she only
stopped in the first place because of him.
So a smoker who wants to kick
the habit needs to do so for his/her own reasons and not because of persuasion
or pressure from someone else.
If you are thinking it is about time you
stopped smoking, write a list of the reasons you want to stop. The next stop
smoking article will help you with this.
