Quit Smoking with Hypnosis

By Saline Walsh | June 16, 2022 |

Quitting smoking is quite a challenge. However, it would be one of the best things that you can do for your own good. Smoking is harmful to your health and it is a deadly habit. It is known as the leading cause of cancer. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of lung disease, strokes, heart attacks, and other health issues.

You might have tried everything from nicotine lozenges, chewing gum, patches, counseling, and therapy. You should give up. Ask your doctor if hypnosis (also referred to as hypnotherapy) is a viable option for you.

Hypnosis is a state of awareness, and a focused state or attention. Doctors may recommend this to aid in the treatment of certain psychological or physical problems. It can also be a method of choice for pain management. Other uses include treatment for speech disorders or help in weight issues.

Aside from health reasons, people should quit smoking to save money, to protect their kids, and to be more active. There are many benefits to quitting smoking, but why is it so hard for smokers to quit?

Why it’s hard to quit smoking ?

The answer is quite simple. Addiction to nicotine is deeply rooted in your subconscious mind. There are activities that may subconsciously trigger the urge to smoke, like drinking alcohol, after meal time, or driving. Stress also triggers cigarette craving.

This is where hypnotherapy comes in. It will help silence that inner voice in your head, and reframe your subconscious thoughts about smoking.

How does it work?

One of the reasons why hypnosis can for nicotine addiction: the process can reframe your subconscious thoughts. The moment you feel the urge to smoke, the mind starts to create a response. You will feel stress, and stress triggers the craving to relieve stress. Then you react.

The subconscious thoughts are powerful as they form your own perceptions of things. When your subconscious tells your body that it will work, you send the information back down.

Hypnotherapy will do the same – provide your mind with new and more accurate information about smoking.

During the process, the hypnotist may ask you to create unpleasant images of the results of smoking. The hypnotherapist may depending on your need feed your mind with suggestions, including the smoke from the cigarette smells like truck exhaust, or that smoking causes bad breath and stained teeth.

The process of hypnosis for smoking cessation focuses on these three main ideas:

You need your body to live.

You should respect and protect your body.

Smoking poisons your body.

Notice that the focus is not on quitting smoking, rather your attention is directed towards your own body and how you can keep it healthy.

Smokers are also given affirmations to use when the urge to pick up a cigarette happens.

Bottom line, the moment you’re ready to kick the habit, hypnosis can help with smoking cessation.

After noticing significant positive changes in a close friend of mine that resulted from work with tc, i decided to visit houston to avail myself of tc’s services. Not only are the sessions completely affordable, i was pleasantly surprised by the results achieved as a result of the services tc rendered to me over the course of multiple sessions , over a period of months. I will return soon for another session and likely will remain a lifetime customer of this very generous man.

I’ve been seeing TC since 2014 and am so grateful for his help. Great listener and a very knowledgeable professional.

I've had a very positive experience with TC over the course of 5+ sessions (and to be continued). There is something very special about TC and the way he carries himself. TC is the type of person that you come across once in a lifetime. I believe he has a deep sense of how to effectively guide you to inner peace and understand how you tick. If you are struggling with anything in life, curious about what hypnosis is, or just want to learn more about you don't know, I highly recommend seeing him.

I went to TC to help with a bad habit. After speaking with him, he went right to the root of the problem. Stress! Stress was destroying my body physically. Immediately after the first session, I felt lighter and happy. I am 2 months from my first visit. I have lost 13 pounds without dieting. As far as my bad habit, it's no longer a bad habit. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done. I went for 2 sessions. One might have been enough but two reinforced the behavior.

I was a bit skeptical at first but now I'm a true believer. I used to experience 3-5 migraines a week. It was debilitating. I was on the road to taking very strong medicines on a daily basis, so I thought I'd see if hypnosis could help. It did. I have not had a migraine in over a year!

TC LeNormand helped me understand and remove fear, doubt, and other negative traits caused from childhood trauma. Every session gave me strength to work on my trauma to heal. He is patient, understanding, and guided me with compassion. A genuine person. I felt safe and learned so much. Highly recommend for anyone needing hypnotherapy.

I went to visit Hypnosis Houston about a month ago for my initial visit. Candidly, I went in dealing with an addictive behavior that I wanted to discontinue, and I was completely exasperated, having tried medications, traditional talk therapy, reading books and more. When I spoke with TC, the first thing that struck me is he is incredibly insightful and articulate. We had a conversation about my goals and about the process and what to expect, and then we did some exercises, and finally, he “hypnotized” me. I put it in quotes because it was hypnosis in the traditional sense, being put in a deep relaxed state and listening to spoken suggestions, but it’s not hokey like it is depicted on TV. After our 90 minute appointment he told me to give him a call in a week if I wanted to discuss or have another session. I did not call him, instead I went on about life and gradually things began to change. I did not notice it or attribute to the hypnosis at first, but after looking back and thinking about it, there was a marked change after my hypnosis in my own thought patterns, which in turn has changed my behavior. For example, I have been dissatisfied with my career for many years and have been told by just about everyone that I should go into business for myself, which I have always brushed off because of my aversion to risk and fear of failure. After the hypnosis, suddenly my mind is not hampered with as many of the negative messages that I used to tell myself. Instead this persistent thought keeps appearing that I control my destiny, that I can manifest anything that I desire. This thought has broken my old patterns of behavior and so many amazing things are happening in my life. I fully believe that the suggestions presented to me in my session have transformed my mind and life, because I was willing and open to the suggestion. My advice is give it a try. You have only a relatively small amount of money to lose and your whole life to gain. Try it!

I am a 27 year old that needs a transplant, but in order for me to be approved, I have to quit smoking. Which I have smoked 1-2 packs a day for closer to 15 years now. I have tried just about everything and turned to hypnosis as a last resort..and as a huge skeptic. Fast forward to first phone call: He immediately asked what my motivation was because he made it clear if I felt pressured by anyone or anything else, he couldn't help me. He's not doing this for only financial gain but the act of helping his patients. Fast forward to first meeting: session took 2 hours. He spent time asking about what I envisioned my future to be like and not all the reasons why I smoked. It seems like he's just talking like a therapist but you'll find out the entire time you are in his presence, he's working on you. I felt comfortable, and light. It's not magic, it's just a fascinating practice. AFTER HYPNOSIS CONCLUSION: for the first time in 10 years I got in my truck and didn't need to smoke. I could barely say or think the words "cigarette" or "smoke". As if it didn't exist in my vocabulary anymore. I felt like there's something I should be doing, but couldn't place it. For the first time in over a decade, I haven't had a cigarette in days, and don't feel the desire too. He trained me to think the future is more important that harmful things so I don't process the harmful thing anymore. I don't know why or how exactly it worked but I am thankful it did. I can now get on my transplant list! All because of who would've thought... Hypnosis. About the doctor: I felt comfortable, he obviously can profile people instantly so don't lie to him or the ineffectual treatment is on yourself. He is very friendly and cares about helping and connecting. I feel like HE was what set me up for success. 100/100 recommend and plan on seeing him again for sugar cravings since the first results were unbelievable!
