How Does Hypnosis Work to Quit Smoking for Life? Find Out!

I see it all the time. Clients walk into my office, exhausted from the battle with cigarettes. They’ve tried everything—nicotine patches, gums, medications, and sheer willpower. Yet nothing works long term.

The cravings or problems creep back in and they reach for a cigarette.

Many people feel hopeless. Defeated.

That’s when they turn to hypnosis to quit smoking.

Why Can’t I Quit Smoking?

Smoking isn’t just a physical addiction. It’s a deeply ingrained habit in your subconscious mind. You might consciously want to quit, but if your subconscious still links smoking to stress relief, social situations, or comfort, then no amount of willpower will help.

Hypnosis Works with the Subconscious Mind!

Hypnosis for smoking addiction targets the subconscious mind, making it easier to quit smoking for good. We journey back in time to when you first started smoking and get to the who, what, when, and why you started.

We release the triggers and undo the habits and decisions.

Once you let go of the past, you go into the future and witness yourself smoke-free.

This process, while in hypnosis, dismantles the emotional and mental ties to smoking which makes quitting feel natural.

No patches. No struggle. Just a shift in your mind to being a non-smoker.

The Truth About Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation

Doctors don’t make guarantees and neither do hypnotists.

Hypnosis isn’t a magic wand.

The process works when you believe you can make the change with a little help.

You have to commit to the change so don’t show up before you are truly ready to quit.

If you come in expecting failure, you will fail.

Once you embrace the possibility, hypnosis can help you stay smoke-free for life.

Quitting smoking helps you reclaim control over that aspect of your life. It’s about freeing yourself from something that no longer aligns with the life you want to live. And when you address the issue in your subconscious mind, lasting change becomes possible.

How many hypnosis sessions do I need to quit smoking?

The individual sitting in the chair is the person who decides what it will take to create this change.

Most people quit after one session at Donna Brown Hypnosis.

Others need help after a situation shows up where they start smoking again after a few weeks or months. We might have missed the who, what, when, and why for that particular subconscious autopilot in our first session.

Many people come in and aren’t sure if hypnosis will work to quit smoking. They have some doubts about the process yet are willing to try. Most of these people do quit.

And, I’ve had a small percentage of people who came to prove that no one can help them. They come for one session and I never see them again.

Your belief system makes a difference in the hypnosis process.

Lastly, some people have made cigarettes their primary relationship. I’ve personally only had two clients in all the years I’ve done hypnosis that figured out that they weren’t ever going to quit. For one gentleman it was a huge relief. The other client loves hypnosis and everything else in his life has changed but the cigarettes.

The only way you will know if it works for you is if you give it a try because we can’t make any promises.

I’ve seen miracles and I’ve seen people walk away without experiencing anything.
