We know quitting smoking is tough and can be emotionally taxing. If you or a loved one are struggling with smoking, nicotine, or tobacco addiction, we can help. 

At Bloom Hypnotherapy, we help you quit smoking, eliminate cravings, and reclaim your health with our specialised stop-smoking hypnosis program. We use the power of hypnotherapy to identify the social, personal, and romantic triggers for smoking and help you overcome those by developing strong coping mechanisms. 

Why Do People Smoke: Addiction or Habit?

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 8.3% of Australians smoke daily. It is a common addiction that is often deemed casual and harmless. 

The nicotine in cigarettes creates a physical dependency. When nicotine enters the bloodstream, it triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This chemical reaction reinforces the desire to continue smoking, leading to a cycle of addiction that is difficult to break.

The habitual part of smoking comes from the fact that many smokers associate cigarettes with specific activities or times of day, such as having a coffee in the morning, taking breaks at work, or socialising with friends. These habitual patterns become ingrained, making it challenging to quit even if the physical addiction is addressed.

Emotional triggers play a significant role in smoking behaviour as well. People often turn to cigarettes as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, or boredom. The act of smoking provides a temporary escape or a moment of calm, reinforcing its use during emotionally charged situations. This dual influence of physical addiction and emotional habit makes smoking a particularly tough addiction to overcome.

Understanding these underlying factors is very important in developing a comprehensive approach to quitting. Recognising that smoking serves both as an addiction and a habitual behaviour allows for a more holistic treatment plan. 

Quit Cigarette Hypnosis: How it Works?

At Bloom Hypnotherapy and Counselling, we understand that smoking is a habit and an addiction. That is why we develop a plan that addresses subconscious patterns, physical addiction, social triggers, and habitual patterns.  Our quit smoking hypnotherapy sessions help reprogram these ingrained habits, making it easier to resist cravings and putting a full stop to smoking. We focus on altering the mental associations tied to smoking, empowering individuals to overcome the addiction.

Behavioural Reprogramming:

Hypnotherapy helps identify and challenge the beliefs and behaviours that drive smoking habits. By reframing these associations, we help you develop healthier coping mechanisms and responses to triggers. This process involves changing the subconscious mind’s view of smoking, making it less appealing and easier to quit.

Motivational Enhancement:

Motivation is a key factor to quit smoking. Through hypnotherapy, we help you find that motivation. We use visualisation techniques to help you envision your smoke-free future, highlighting the benefits of improved health, increased energy, and enhanced quality of life. 

Stress Reduction:

Many people smoke to cope with stress and anxiety. Hypnotherapy addresses these emotional triggers by teaching alternative relaxation techniques and stress management strategies. By finding new ways to handle stress, we help you reduce your reliance on smoking as a coping mechanism for stress.

Craving Management:

Our hypnotherapy session equips you with mental tools and strategies to combat cravings when they arise. We help instil confidence in your ability to resist temptation. 

What happens in hypnotherapy for smoking sessions?

During hypnotherapy sessions, we guide you into a deeply relaxed state where your subconscious mind becomes highly receptive to positive suggestions and imagery. We use a variety of techniques to address the psychological and emotional aspects of smoking addiction, helping you reframe your mindset and develop new, healthier behaviours. Each session is personalised to the individual’s needs for an effective treatment experience.

Preparing for the first stop smoking hypnotherapy session?

Preparation for the first hypnotherapy session involves setting clear goals and understanding personal smoking triggers. We encourage you to reflect on your reasons for quitting and the benefits you hope to achieve. Coming to the session with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process will help enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Set Clear Goals:

Reflect on your reasons for quitting and the benefits you hope to achieve, such as improved health, financial savings, and setting a good example for others.

Identify Smoking Triggers:

Note what triggers you to smoke—certain times, social settings, stress, or specific activities. Understanding your triggers will help us tailor the session according to your specific needs.

Reflect on Past Attempts:

Consider what worked and what didn’t in previous attempts to quit. Share this with us so we can help create an effective plan.

Mental and Emotional Preparation:

Approach the session with an open mind and positive attitude. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing to help you become more receptive to change.

Lifestyle Adjustments:

Start making small changes to support your quitting journey, such as reducing cigarette and alcohol intake and avoiding trigger situations. You can also inform your support network about your plans.
