Does hynotherapy works for someone who is trying to quit smoking? -


How many session does it include?
There are no guarantees hypnotherapy will work.

Some people are more receptive to it than others. Therefore the success or not of it will vary from person to person.

If you have faith in it then go for it. You know you-ll be much better off without cigarettes.
Hypnotherapy really doesn-t have much real world testing to back up its claims as an effective quit smoking tool. Here-s some of the methods out there, and the related success ratio. (Info taken from the U.S. Surgeon Generals Report and http://www.bestquitsmokingblog.com

- Cold Turkey: 3 - 5% success rate

- Nicotine Patches/Gum: 7% (Expensive)

- Order from doctor to stop smoking -or else-: 10%

Support program (SUch as NLP or various quit smoking programs): 30%+

Hypnotherapy isn-t on the list because there wasn-t enough reliable feedback to rate it. But based on the results here, you can judge for yourself which methods work best.
There isn-t a yes or no answer to this, hypnotherapy works based on trust and how much you believe. If you-re convinced that this hypnotherapist will cure your addiction then they probably will, if you doubt it then probably not, and hypnotherapy is not dangerous. xx
Hi I had 1 session and stopped that night from 40 to 0 I had no cravings no stress, I think you have to really want to give up, this was 20 years ago and I`ve never been tempted to smoke, best thing I ever did
It is fairly harmless but also fairly useless, fairing no better than placebo.
