Hypnosis: Common Questions People Have When Using Hypnosis To Quit Smoking

By Phil Conran

How Does Hypnosis Work? Agreed suggestions are placed into your subconscious mind to help you to overcome problems. In this instance, suggestions will be placed into your subconscious mind that you have no cravings for tobacco, no desire to eat more, no bad temper or irritability and no concern that you are missing out on anything, so will not feel deprived or in need of a substitute. The hypnotic suggestions are only effective if you allow them to be.

Can Anyone Be Hypnotized? Yes, providing that the circumstances are right and so long as the person is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and providing you want to be hypnotized. If you are undergoing hypnosis because someone else has pressurized you into trying it, then it will not work.

Are There Any Adverse Side-effects to Hypnosis? No. Hypnosis is used to facilitate positive change. You are in complete control throughout the hypnotic state. The benefits of hypnosis can be felt immediately. You cannot be made to do anything that you do not want to do and will not accept any suggestions which would not be acceptable to your conscious mind.

Will They Make Me Do Silly Things? No, you would never do or say anything while in the hypnotic state which you would not normally do and in particular which goes against your moral code.

Will I Lose Control During the Session? No, you do not relinquish control whatsoever. You are in complete control throughout and can stop the session at any time. You will be fully aware and hear everything that is said to you, as you are in a state of increased awareness. A hypnotherapist can never gain control over your mind but will assist you, through suggestions, to take control of your life and the habits that you wish to change.

What If I Don't 'Come Out' of the Hypnotic State? You will. You can open your eyes at any time during the session, ending the hypnotic state immediately. You can do this at any time you wish to, as you are in complete control throughout.

How Will I Feel After the Hypnosis? Most people feel very relaxed and quite sleepy following hypnosis, and have been known to fall asleep more easily than usual that night. Others feel exceptionally happy. All feel energetic the following day - this is due in part to increased oxygen levels in the bloodstream.
