Influencing a person through hypnosis in order to rid him of certain ailments began to be widely used a little more than a century and a half ago. At that time, it was believed that hypnosis treatment was an effective technique, but did not give long-term sustainable results. But science does not stand still, and now hypnosis, with which smoking cessation can be achieved forever, has become a well-known medical technique.
Why don't people quit smoking?
The fact that cigarettes slowly poison the human body is known, perhaps, to everyone. At the same time, only a few are ready to part with an unhe althy lifestyle. The rest of the people have a lot of excuses for which they are not going to give up smoking. This is a strong psychological dependence, and a lack of desire, and a suggestion that cigarettes can calm and relax.
Convince a person of the opposite on a subconscious level can be coded from smoking by hypnosis. This technique provides an opportunity to make a person think differently. Hypnosis from smoking (patient reviews, as a rule, clearly indicate the high results of this method) will help the nicotine addict to recognizethat all the problems and diseases in his body are caused by smoking.
At each next session, a person will gradually form a new internal setting, the functioning of which is aimed at creating a feeling of disgust for tobacco products. If the patient used to associate the habit with pleasure, then hypnosis coding from smoking radically changes the attitude towards cigarettes.
Can hypnosis stop smoking?
Specialists give a positive answer to this question. With only one caveat: the impact on a person in a state of trance will help get rid of nicotine addiction only together with the desire of the smoker to do this. That is, hypnosis from smoking here acts as a technique that supports the patient, deepening the degree of his suggestibility. Often a person chooses hypnosis instead of nicotine replacement therapy or when it is not possible to eliminate this element from life on their own.
Decision to get rid of smoking by hypnosis a person must voluntarily, while experiencing full confidence in the hypnotist.
A person can succumb to hypnosis by taking a comfortable position, relaxing, fixing his gaze on something. The hypnotist's speech must meet certain requirements.
- The use of indefinite generalized vocabulary helps to "catch" on the internal state of a person, which will make the further process as easy as possible.
- The complete absence of the “not” particle in speech is associated with the characteristics of the humansubconscious: the patient is instilled only what should be done (in no case vice versa). To illustrate, we can recall how in childhood everyone at least once heard the parting word “Don’t stumble!”, And the result for most was the same - a knocked down knee, etc.
- Constructive focus of speech - right: "You want to quit smoking", wrong: "You should not smoke." Many, remembering the first experience of communicating with a cigarette, still hear their parents: “Don't smoke! You mustn't smoke!" It never contributed to this requirement.
What happens to a person when he experiences a hypnotic effect?
As a result of hypnotic influence, a person plunges into a certain state, called a trance, and has the following symptoms:
- muscles of the face and body relax;
- man assumes a motionless posture;
- gaze rests on one point;
- breathing deep and slow;
- swallowing and blinking movements slow down or completely disappear;
- pupils dilate;
- motor reactions slow down;
- lips, fingers, eyes twitch involuntarily;
- intense sweating appears.
How to hypnotize a person?
This is achieved by a monotonous effect on the senses through subtle strokes of barely audible music, calm speech (verbal suggestion). All these stimuli should be long enough, then the patient will calm down, feel the desire to fall asleep (he will have a feelingheaviness in the eyelids, numbness), and then fall into a state of deep sleep.
A person falls into a trance when inhibition reactions occur in the cerebral cortex under the influence of verbal instructions. But this state is not uniform throughout the session.
Stages of hypnosis
Here there are several stages with certain characteristics:
- Drowsiness - the first stage - is accompanied by heaviness in the body, at first it is difficult for a person to open his eyes, and then the desire to do so disappears, he cannot speak, fragments of thoughts occasionally flash in his head.
- Hypotaxia - the second stage - a person is not able to open his eyes, the face is relaxed, but the tense muscles of the eyelids give the face an expression of concentration; the muscles of the body are in cataleptic tension (the human body remains in the state that the hypnotist gives it - for example, we can recall the experience with a person “hanging” between two chairs, touching them only with the back of the head and heels). Whatever is suggested to the patient in this state, he clearly perceives, remembers well, assimilates and reproduces. This is the optimal time to set the mindset for quitting nicotine, aversion to smoking.
- Somnambulism - the third stage - is characterized by the patient's contact only with the doctor, everything else ceases to exist for him: the person does not feel anything, loses ideas about the environment, exists, as it were, outside his body. During this period of time, the suggestion to the patient continues and the consolidation of certain attitudes aimed at refusing tothis habit.
What happens after a hypnosis session?
After coming out of a hypnotic sleep, a person loses memories of what happened to him during the session. This condition is called hypnotic amnesia. But the received installation continues to perform. But we should not forget that this only happens if the patient himself was determined to give up tobacco.
A session of hypnosis from smoking in itself is healing for a person. It has a positive effect on the work of many organs and systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, central nervous system.
Smoking hypnosis can act as an independent treatment method or in combination with others when deciding to give up a bad habit. It is possible to fix the result of hypnotic influence on the patient with the help of herbal medicine, appropriate gymnastics, psychotherapeutic influence, medicinal and acupuncture. It is best to hold all activities in the complex.
It is noted that hypnosis against smoking on nicotine-dependent patients immediately has a rather weak effect. You can enhance the effect through group exercises. It should be noted again that when working with a patient, the doctor should focus on improving the person's condition while giving up this habit. It is useless to make suggestions that you have no desire to smoke, because this statement is still not true: it has been proven that this desire remains. The doctor's task here is to switch the patient's attention.
In addition to the above, smoking hypnosis has a number of beneficial side effects: helps relieve withdrawal symptoms that result from quitting tobacco: helps with insomnia, relieves irritability, reduces anxiety, soothes headaches, etc.
Types of hypnosis
Currently, there are many types of hypnosis used in various fields of activity. Some of them are used for medicinal purposes:
- Regressive hypnosis.
- Age progression method.
- Age synthesis method.
- Manual hypnosis.
- Verbal hypnosis.
- Computer hypnosis.
- Self-hypnosis.
Regressive smoking hypnosis is a kind of time travel. A person is suggested that he is much younger than he really is. This allows the patient to increase energy by feeling the mood of the time when he was young, full of energy, happy and not addicted to any addiction.
Method of age progression - a similar method with a minus sign. Its essence is that the patient is deliberately increased age. It is not used to get rid of smoking, but it is the best way to increase self-confidence. During the session, a person feels much older and more experienced, able to perform those actions for which in reality there is not enough spirit. After the session, he "remembers" how old he is, but does not lose the inspired confidence and, therefore, is not afraid to do whathe had failed before.
Treatment of smoking by hypnosis according to the method of age synthesis is suitable for almost everyone and helps to get rid of nicotine addiction. Feeling the power to easily give up bad habits, as at a young age, combined with mature self-confidence, allows you to achieve a positive result in treatment.
The manual method is a strong hypnosis from smoking, which is also called tactile, developed by V. L. Raikov. Its essence is in the impact on the pain points of a person. This method has a number of advantages: fast effect (achieved in 2-3 minutes); lack of verbal contact with the patient; simple application; available to anyone; does not imply knowledge of the location of the points that need to be acted upon - you can only know the centers of pain; has no negative consequences.
Verbal anti-smoking hypnosis (reviews of many patients confirm the high efficiency of this method) implies persuasion with a word. Such a suggestion could be:
- direct (clear what the doctor wants);
- indirect (the patient, as it seems to him, can refuse the path proposed by the doctor; but in fact he steps on the path he was afraid to take);
- open (implies the right to choose a patient from a variety of options).
Self-hypnotic influence
Self-hypnosis - self-hypnosis to put you in a trance - is often used to treat nicotine addiction. Self-hypnosis can affect any organ. It is efficient andsafe, based on the use of certain rituals to identify the cause that prompted smoking and eradicate it.
Self-hypnosis is divided into several methods depending on the use of the hypnotizing object:
- hypnotizing object - a dot on something (often on a wall);
- hypnotizing object - subject;
- hypnotizing object is not used.
Another characteristic of hypnotic influence is its stages: light, medium and deep.
The first and second stages are used for therapeutic purposes to suggest certain attitudes (light) and their consolidation (medium). Deep hypnosis is only used for research purposes. Typically, a therapeutic hypnosis session lasts about 30 minutes. To allow the patient to rest, you can slightly extend the time of hypnosis.
Differences in the effects of hypnosis on men and women
Statistical studies note the different degree of impact of hypnosis to quit smoking on the female and male body: it is easier for men than women. The reason, apparently, lies in the difference between female and male psychology. It can be assumed that it is more difficult for a woman to overcome an addiction than for a man, even despite the greater suggestibility of women. Scientists explain this by the presence of a special gene that controls the metabolism of dopamine and is responsible for a sense of satisfaction. Many women carry a certain combination of it, which makes it difficult to quit smoking.
Shouldn'tforget that the female body suffers more from nicotine than the male. In addition, a woman bears a great responsibility for offspring, since her egg is highly susceptible to toxic effects.
Desire Above All
If you do not exclude the possibility of quitting smoking with the help of hypnosis, you still need to get professional advice from a doctor first. It's never too late to quit this bad habit. The sooner smoking ceases to be one of the fundamental elements of everyday life, the less plausible the possibility of developing a serious cancer will seem. In addition, you can also avoid a lot of he alth problems by quitting smoking.
Indeed, the treatment of smoking by hypnosis for many experienced smokers is a real way out of a very difficult difficult task, since quitting a cigarette habit without resorting to outside help is quite difficult. After all, this is not just a harmful occupation. The carrier of a potential threat to human he alth - nicotine - can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart attack, eye diseases, osteoporosis, etc.
Tobacco addicts try to overcome their deficiency with the help of a mass of means: chewing gum, patches, consultations with a psychologist, etc. Willpower here predetermines success. However, she is not always able to repulse the wrong way of life. Quitting smoking through hypnosis may be the only hope of many heavy smokers.
A large number of people trying to quit smoking withwith the help of hypnosis, in fact, they do not have a firm determination to do this, which, in turn, nullifies any doctor's manipulations, even those carried out in combination with other methods. Therefore, every smoker must make an informed choice in favor of quitting tobacco. This will be the key to successful treatment.
