does hypnosis work for quiting smoking and or getting off drugs?

Question

can it really change the way you think that much.

Answer 1

I think it would help if you REALLY wanted to quit. I know a girl who tryed it but it didn't help her. She did admit that she wasn't really ready to quit smoking and was going to rely on the hypnosis to take her craving away. So I guess the power of suggestion doesn't work if there is no desire to go along with it.

Answer 3

I am a hypnotherapist and have been very successful with helping people change/transform their belief systems which are no longer working for them and yes, if moving beyond smoking or drug addiction/use is something that a person wants to achieve, then hypnotherapy can give them the tools they need to accomplish their desires.

There is also another self healing technique that I use alot in my practice and that is EFT "Emotional Freedom Technique" It works wonderfully for so many things and what's also nice about it is you can self teach and self apply so that makes it very inexpensive to use. For more information on this technique you can visit www.ahealingmind.com go to the EFT Page and it will offer you diagrams, a free manual download and there are also other self healing techniques on the site (the Pathways Page) that you might find of interest and benefit.

I have also used and been very successful with EFT and addictions.

I smoked for two decades and did not like the yellow stains both. one way that reduces staining is the way you carry the cigarette. carry it upright so as that the smoke rises into the air, yet no longer onto your palms leaving stains. I used to note stains alot after i'd been partying b/c of direction you smoke more effective once you drink, and also you get sloppy about the way you're preserving the cigarette. except that, i'd say get an fantastically porous pumice stone (I were given an fantastically good one at Pier Imports which worked large and lasted for years). also, you are able to positioned nail polish remover on a cotton ball and rub your palms with that. that is corrosive,yet i'd believe it over bleach anyday. and positively no longer lye (old style Liquid Drano) that ought to burn your dermis precise off - no longer a good plan. i became tremendous addicted yet provide up through going to a smoking cessation retreat. I continuously suggested that i'd ought to bypass to an section the position I had actual no get precise of entry to to cigs, to be locked up, previously i ought to kick the habit. It;s been 5 years for me now. If i am going to do it, absolutely everyone can.
