Quit Smoking Hypnosis Seminars - What Does Hypnosis Have To Do With Quitting Smoking?

n a hypnotic procedure to change a habit or a behavior, more emphasis is laid on the psychological healing of a person rather then physical. The hypnotherapist will talk about the benefits of not smoking during the time you are in a state of trance, and you will appear to not be aware of what is being said. When you come out of the trance, your mind will be conditioned to want to stay away from cigarettes totally. There will be no withdrawal symptoms experienced by a person.

The stop smoking hypnosis seminars are an attractive option for smokers who do not want to go for nicotine replacement therapy or use other aids to quit smoking, or they have tried any number of them and have found it unsuccessful. These seminars are held in virtually all major American cities and you can register by paying a nominal fee. Group seminars are usually held in the form of a single session and run for a maximum of 2 hours - open sessions for all - and usually with a decent success rate. If one session doesn't work, you can undergo a re-consultation. The first forty minutes is an informative session where a practiced and a trained hypnotherapist speak on the benefits of the hypnosis program. There might be instances when a smoker who has actually quit smoking with the help of the hypnosis program may also share his experiences, with the actual procedure beginning after the briefing.

There are chances that the group hypnosis seminar may not produce the desired results for some of you, and this may happen to anyone. This is because the degree of hypnosis required for placing people in a trance usually varies from individual to individual, and the motivating factor for quitting also varies. If you have a tendency to be distracted by small noises or cannot hold your attention, then group hypnosis is not for you. A better option in these cases would be to go for a one-on-one hypnotic procedure. Also, you need to check the background of the hypnotherapist before registering for a seminar. There are some hypnotists who are very good at their work but there are some who are average. You need to find the ones who does what they say, and doesn't use a gimmick to win you over.
