Hypnotherapy

 Understanding the correlation between hypnosis and anxiety is essential to discovering a cure to this condition. You see hypnosis influences the way our subconscious fundamentally thinks and behave in almost every aspect.

If we apply hypnosis to our subconscious and give it suggestions to overcome anxiety, hypnosis and anxiety can effectively go together in order to create a cure that we might not normally believe to be possible. Whilst one shouldn’t expect a cure in the sense of getting rid of anxiety in its entirety, hypnosis can help treat the condition quite well.

Anxiety is triggered within us usually as a result of having a fear or being nervous of certain situations. As we gain life experience, it is natural to initially be nervous of certain things however later overcome them and see that there’s really no need to worry about them. Anxiety arises when, despite the fact that it makes no sense that we’re nervous of anxious about certain things, we still are.

Hypnosis itself works by guiding our minds into a deep and subconscious slumber, a sleepy state so to speak, whereby we can begin to enact certain changes in the way we behave. If we give ourselves enough positive suggestions then eventually hypnosis can be used to help overcome anxiety, almost in its entirety. Obviously, sticking to a set regimen is obviously important, and initially you may need to devote a fair amount of practice to the techniques. No one is saying that hypnosis will give you immediate results after the first session, even though it does for some people.

Give yourself realistic goals to overcoming your anxiety through hypnosis, make your initial goal to do one session of hypnosis per week, for a period of say several months, and then afterwards assess whether or not your anxiety and its triggers have been reduced. If they have, then obviously the hypnosis techniques you’re using are working, and should be maintained, if not, then perhaps you need to find another way to use anxiety and hypnosis to alleviate your psychological ailments.

Remember that practice makes perfect, as they say, and if you give up your hypnosis sessions initially then you’ll have little help of overcoming your anxiety. Make sure you stick to your plans and if need be, maybe even consider consulting the services of a professionally trained hypnotherapist who will be able to guide you on some of the better ways to use hypnosis and anxiety may very well be a thing of the past in your life. Keep at it, and eventually a cure could be within sight.

Quit Smoking NLP CDs - They Can Work Well
By Alan Densky

 The average person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they beat the addiction. If you have tried gum, patches, prescriptions or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt successful with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the most trouble-free and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to DVDs and CDs specifically created to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.

Many smokers think that they are unable to quit smoking because of their nicotine addiction, but that simply is not true. Medical experts agree that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been eliminated from the body, which leaves smokers to focus on the more difficult and far reaching psychological and emotional addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are countless ways to quit smoking, but just one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: quit smoking hypnosis. Many people who want to quit still end up asking themselves, “Why can’t I simply stop smoking?”

The answer is clear to hypnotherapists. The part of you that won’t let you quit smoking is your unconscious. You can’t change your unconscious mind by force of will or with a prescription, patch or gum. You need the right kind of help.

To quit smoking, support is imperative, but many people do not understand that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most effective technique to ensure that your entire psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That’s because hypnosis provides a persuasive method of communicating with your unconscious mind.

Quit smoking hypnosis helps you get rid of the urge to smoke by removing the impulse to light up. When the urge and compulsion to smoke are removed, quitting becomes painless choice that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are successful because they address the most powerful elements of the smoking addiction.

The first part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the craving to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This precedent was actually established when you were a baby. Likely, when you were cranky, your parents put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and likely went to sleep. Smokers get the same calming effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, the unconscious is reprogrammed to receive pleasure and relaxation by automatically replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that previously made you anxious. This makes the tension almost magically disappear. In addition, the very essence of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a soothing hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly fade.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you tackle the habituation, or the “Habit.” Habituation occurs when the unconscious forms an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. Perhaps the second that you turn on the TV you are fighting with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis CD or DVD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that driving, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking! This is known as, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical nicotine addiction is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes is comprised of the emotional and mental components that we’ve discussed so far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals maintain that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs recognize that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes to unwind have undergone reprogramming, the physical addiction is in fact such a diminutive part of their smoking habit, that it has no effect on their capability to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.

Now, I must tell you that despite the unparalleled success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to undertaking a program. And as well as the desire to stop smoking, you must make an honest decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis CDs and DVDs cannot be used to force you to do something you don’t desire to do, so no program can coerce you to stop smoking. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a decision to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain relaxed and not experience tension, cravings, or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.

Cigarette Side Effects A Cause For Worry? Kill The Urges with Quit Smoking
By Alan Densky

 How many inner conversations have you had with yourself about your smoking habit? How many times have you mentioned to family and friends that you want to stop but seem to continue to smoke away despite the risks and the wasted money? And how many programs have you tried that just failed? If you are like most people struggling with smoking, you will remember such inner dramas and may have felt nothing will really succeed for you. Unless you tried hypnosis to stop smoking, you may have been on target.

If you fervently want to stop smoking, neurolinguistic therapy with hypnosis is the rational choice for reliable success. Smoking cessation hypnotherapy can zone in on the main reasons that keep you smoking as well as equipping you with resources and guidance to be successful for good. This is not stage entertainment that is good for laughs and tricks, but a real medical therapy approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with established credentials and strict rules of conduct.

Treatment with hypnosis does not change your moral values and a responsible practitioner will honor your privacy and protect your rights just the same as any other medical professional. You do want one who is approved by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who supports their stringent code of ethics and professional conduct. Included in their code is putting the mental and physical welfare of clients uppermost. They also defend clients from verbal, mental or physical, and make outside referrals as needed.

A well trained practitioner has the skills to address problem behavior, and hypnotherapy to quit smoking is the second most regular type they practice. Using the most current methods which may include the precision of NLP enriched hypnosis and the ongoing extra support of CDs for stop smoking hypnosis as well as any prescription measures a PCP might also suggest for a patient. Using hypnotherapy does not mean other measures are excluded, but they may not be needed at all.

The reason that professionally used stop smoking hypnosis is the most effective method to ensure success is that it addresses the three basic concerns in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue totally and correct the problems each causes. Most people feel that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important factor and the most predominant problem, but this is simply not true. If the addiction to the compound called nicotine were the sole reason for failure, most smokers would not fail so many times in their efforts to end smoking for good.

Yes, nicotine is a powerfully addictive substance and for most smokers the physical dependence is very real and there are withdrawal physical responses that are also real. But did you understand these last only a very few days? In fact, every bit of nicotine is flushed out of the system in just 72 hours or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal physical symptoms and not the reality that causes the most dread and which may prevent even attempting to quit. Yet quitting without specific training has an average 5% success rate! Stop smoking hypnosis reduces fear of withdrawal distresses and mitigates the effect of any that do occur.

Another attribute of smoking cigarettes is that it provides calming and comfort, just as using a pacifier tranquilizes an infant. Many people treat stress and anxiety with some form of oral soothing like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can substitute for the comfort factor derived from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the insistent urges and produces the benefits of quitting instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same perceptions from other activities that are beneficial, not harmful. Neurolinguistic techniques can teach the brain to remove any connection between smoking cigarettes and comfort.

Finally, part of the smoking addiction is plain old Pavlovian habit formation to stimuli. Smokers learn to link smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliche of smoking immediately after physical relations to having a cigarette while consuming alcohol or viewing TV or chatting on the phone. Here hypnosis to stop smoking can permanently delete the association, and when the link is no longer there, there will be no cue to have a smoke when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is presented. The mind is trained to associate good things with the former triggers, or to recall the helpful effects of quitting or the bad things about the smoke.

A highly qualified hypnotist will use both positive and negative associations to replace conditioned associations with smoking, selecting those most meaningful for an individual client. Quit smoking hypnosis is the only treatment modality that can fine tune the treatment to each of the three factors in smoking and eliminate them. Virtually everyone quitting requires support, but only stop smoking hypnosis programs effectively make you your own instant and always available support system.
