Hypnotherapy can help someone quit smoking by working on the mind's subconscious level. Think of your mind like an iceberg: the conscious part is above water, where you make everyday decisions and are aware of your thoughts. The subconscious is the larger, unseen part below the surface, where habits and deep-seated beliefs reside.
During hypnotherapy, you're guided into a relaxed, focused state – much like getting absorbed in a good book or movie. In this state, your mind is more open to suggestions. The therapist can then suggest ideas that align with your goal of quitting smoking, such as associating ci******es with unpleasant tastes or smells, or strengthening your willpower and determination to resist cravings.
These suggestions can help change your subconscious attitudes towards smoking. The idea is to make these changes so deep-seated that you lose your desire to smoke, or find it easier to resist the urge. It's not magic – it's about reinforcing your own desire to quit by aligning your subconscious mind with your conscious decision to stop smoking.
