Stop Smoking Hypnosis – How to Stop Smoking Using Hypnosis
Hypnosis or hypnotherapy can be used as a positive method to stop smoking. Everyone has been talking about this method as the main instrument to get smokers to stop their habit. Anyone who has quit smoking, or is in the process of quitting, will tell you that it can become rather difficult to do so. However, with the help of hypnotic programs to stop smoking, the process can become a bit easier.
There are many programs available to stop smoking using hypnosis. One so called course “10 Steps to Non-smoking” is a good example. This program contains crafty and effective psychological approaches that can help you overcome your nicotine cravings.
A number of therapists are also available for sessions on quitting smoking. A consultation with a certified hypnotherapist will mostly delve into some information on your reasons for quitting smoking. These sessions generally include hypnosis therapy techniques as well as suggestions and positive affirmations. You may also come away with a CD that may be used to reinforce the suggestions made during that session.
You may also opt to try self-hypnosis to stop smoking. This method involves relaxing yourself and guiding yourself through mental images that can make you quit smoking faster. One downside to this program is that it requires a lot of time and practice.
A combination of self hypnosis and sessions with a hypnotherapist may also be used. You can use a recorded hypnosis program produced by professionals at your own home. This is relatively less expensive compared to visiting a certified hypnotherapist; this also provides a range of flexibility to your efforts to stop smoking through hypnosis.
Before going into any of these sessions, you may ask yourself – Does stopping smoking through hypnosis really work? Yes it does. Numerous studies have shown that the use of hypnotic therapy to stop smoking works with a success rate of up to 66%. Although hypnosis is not for everyone, it can greatly help in alleviating stress which is one of the main factors reported by smokers as a their reason for smoking.
Hypnotic therapy for stopping smoking provides benefits such as (a) reduced stress, (b) learning techniques to reduce stress, and (c) causing a positive change in the individual’s attitude towards smoking thereby contributing to the elimination of the smoking habit.
With the positive effects of hypnosis for quitting smoking, you should go and give it a try. If you find that hypnosis does not work for you, you can at least get the benefit of reducing your stress levels and giving yourself the opportunity and the time to relax.

Hypnotherapy Counselling
Hypnotherapy Counselling is counselling applied within the medium of hypnosis. It falls under the umbrella category of “talking therapies”. In October 2007, the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) said of talking therapies that they are “just as effective as drugs” in dealing with such things as stress and depression (but with the advantage of no chemically induced side-effects).
People require Hypnotherapy Counselling for a whole range of reasons: bereavement, depression, becoming a parent, sleep problems, panic attacks, confidence building, stress, or perhaps even simply to understand themselves better.
As with counselling, Hypnotherapy Counselling involves talking and listening, but, because throughout the majority of the process, the client is in a state of hypnosis (the state of focussed awareness in which the critical faculties of the mind are temporarily suspended), the insights gained into a person’s situation often lead to rapid and enduringly effective problem resolution with little inner resistance and maximum commitment to change.
Hypnotherapy Counselling aims to discover and address the root cause of a person’s problem and to identify and develop the inner resources needed to overcome that problem. Hypnotherapeutic techniques such as deep relaxation, direct positive suggestion, post hypnotic suggestion, regression, future-pacing, creative visual imagery and pseudo-orientation in time are employed to alter automatic physical and emotional responses, to change maladaptive behaviours and negative patterns of thought, and to provide support during the change process, minimising unconscious resistance, developing commitment, drive and focus, building self-confidence and boosting self-esteem along the way.
Hypnotherapy Counselling is not a magic solution, and is very much client-centred, moving at a pace that’s right for the individual, but positive results tend to become evident very quickly.

Anxiety Panic Attacks – Hypnotherapy
There are some things to understand here. Anxiety panic attack is not a disease. It does not need the conventional drug therapy treatment. Many people feel that pills are the answer to everything. They are not! Nature has endowed us with so many natural cure that we simply cannot count. Moreover the advantages of these natural treatments are manifold. They are safe, side effect free, effective, available and very gentle.
I know many people will scoff at the idea and say that the drugs are the only cure. Well let me tell you what these so called drugs do. First, they solve the part of the problem that you can see at the surface, they do not get to the root cause of the problem. Secondly, they increase a person’s dependence and the moment you stop taking the drugs, your attacks worsen. Last but not the least, these medicines need to be increased in dosage as you develop tolerance to it (which only causes further complications).
Hence my advice to you is do not go in for such drugs. There are a great number of natural ways to get rid of these anxiety panic attacks and most of them have worked for me.
Try some deep breathing exercises. My doctor told me to breathe deeply during the anxiety panic attacks. This method helps in relieving hyperventilation and tightness in the chest. Since breath is called life, it will also put a lot of things into perspective while you breathe. While you are working on your breathing this is a good time to give meditation a try. For me meditation was more prevention than cure. There are a variety of techniques to try, but what worked for me was the recitation technique. Meditation and its techniques have been quite effective in providing me relief while the attacks happened.
There are a number of herbs that can help solve your problem. However, there is a method that can completely cure these panic attacks. For me, that is the only method that has all the qualities to be called the “perfect cure”. That method is nothing but hypnosis. I used to scoff at hypnotherapy, but now I have realized that hypnotherapy is the most effective way to deal with these attacks.
My hypnotherapist told me that all our reactions are based on our subconscious mind. Hence hypnotherapy has the power to change your core and emotional beliefs.

Fear of Open Spaces and Agoraphobia Disorder – A Psychotherapist Explains
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder seen often in our hypnotherapy practice here in the UK. In fact, about 5% of the adult population will suffer from an agoraphobia disorder at some time in their lives. In the UK, it is the one phobia that is regularly treated as a medical issue.
As anyone who has ever experienced agoraphobia anxiety or a similar anxiety disorder is only too well aware, it is a condition that has the ability to produce intense and often incapacitating feelings of fear and panic.
Until fairly recently, agoraphobia was defined simply as the fear of open spaces, but the term has now been expanded to include a number of other fears, including the fear of public places and crowds, the fear of travelling alone, or simply the fear of leaving the home or other ’safe’ area.
When the individual is in the grips of agoraphobia and panic, the feeling can be one of absolute terror. Because these attacks can be unpredictable, occurring anywhere and at any time, the person experiencing them is very often terrified of them happening in a public place, where they feel the most vulnerable.
This can really compound and intensify feelings of anxiety and panic, producing a very real fear of public places, fear of crowds, fear of travelling alone and fear of leaving home.
Indeed, such intense fear can virtually force the person needing agoraphobia help to avoid leaving the home and putting him or herself into a situation that they feel might leave them vulnerable.
Agoraphobia disorder does appear to be more common in women than in men, although this may simply be because women tend to seek outside help with the condition more than do men. This is a disorder that can often manifest in a person’s twenties and can persist for years, if left untreated.
The good news is that skilfully applied transformational hypnotherapy can indeed be used as an effective agoraphobia treatment leading to an agoraphobia cure.
We know that agoraphobia and panic are intense feelings generated at the level of the subconscious mind – the home and repository of all feelings. The scary feelings are experienced because of an over-reaction by the subconscious mind which produces feelings inappropriate to the situation and circumstance. It imagines danger and so produces fear where no real reason for that fear exists.
The truth is, of course, that the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between that which is imagined and that which is real. You only have to think about ******* on a lemon to prove this to yourself. An imaginary lemon can produce exactly the same effect as a real lemon – tightening of jaw muscles, increased salivation – because for the subconscious mind there really is no difference between the imagined and the real.
With agoraphobia and panic, the subconscious mind has got things wrong. It imagines that a harmless and essentially non-threatening situation is inherently threatening and dangerous and so it responds as though the individual were in real danger by flooding the body with adrenalin – in much the same way that an imagined lemon floods the mouth with saliva – and this in turn produces feelings of anxiety and panic.
Through the medium of transformational hypnotherapy, we can adjust false beliefs and perceptions held by the subconscious mind and correctly align them with reality. Once we have understood the origin of the subconscious mind’s faulty perception, we are in a position to correct and neutralise it, thereby freeing the person to move on with their life, free of this really restricting, confining condition.
There really is no need to continue to experience agoraphobia and panic. If agoraphobia disorder is a part of your life, real help is available: Transformational hypnotherapy can indeed provide effective agoraphobia treatment leading to an effective agoraphobia cure.

Hypnosis For Children – Resolving Children’s Bedtime Woes With Child Hypnotherapy
Are your children sleeping soundly at night? Many children are known to suffer from sleeping disorders. They may have trouble getting to sleep. Quite a number of children have bed-wetting problems. Are you monitoring your children’s sleep? Do they have any of the above sleeping problems?
The above mentioned disorders may seem trivial to many. However, if left untreated, the child may end up with low self esteem and lack confidence as they grow up. Certainly as parents, we want the best for our children, right? If the best is what we want, then we should treat these problems as early as possible. The best treatment for the said disorders is Child Hypnotherapy.
Studies have shown that a large percentage of children are suffering from some sleep disorders like insomnia. In 1997, a survey was conducted on children between the ages of 5 and 12. The results showed the following trend:
7 percent regularly wakes up in the middle of the night. 11 percent have difficulties to sleep well at night. 17 percent have problems waking up the next day. 17 percent feel very exhausted every day.Sleeping disorders like insomnia are normally caused by anxiety, fear or bad dreams. If these happen regularly, the child will eventually develop insomnia for they subconsciously become rather fearful of falling asleep. There are a number of possible factors which could have caused the anxiety and bad dreams:
environmental and surroundings which are not condusive to a child’s upbringing. alcohol or caffeine consumption lack of parental supervisionHypnotherapy is best in solving children’s disorders such as this. In a hypnotherapy session, the child will learn how to be relaxed and calm when they get to bed. Being calm and relaxed help them to sleep better at night. As their sleep gets better, they will be less stressed out in the day. No more waking up late and no more exhaustion. Both are direct results from the lack of sleep at night.
Did you know that about 2 to 10 percent of teenagers are still occasionally wetting their beds at night? One out of three six year old children wet their bed. Many parents don’t even consider bed-wetting as a problem. The fact is, this disorder, if left untreated, will lead to other more severe psychological disorders as the child grow older. Bed-wetting is also best treated with Hypnosis for Children.
