Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy

Imagine yourself as a non-smoker, feeling healthy, strong, and confident. See yourself effortlessly resisting the urge to smoke, feeling no cravings or withdrawal symptoms.

Here’s a script for a stop smoking hypnotherapy session:

Introduction

“Welcome, and thank you for taking this important step towards a healthier, smoke-free life. My goal is to help you stop smoking using the power of hypnotherapy. Please find a comfortable and relaxed position, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Allow yourself to let go of any tension or stress, and simply focus on my voice.”

Induction

“Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe place where you feel completely relaxed and at ease. With each breath, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. As you exhale, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body, like autumn leaves floating gently to the ground. Allow yourself to drift deeper into relaxation, feeling your eyelids growing heavy, and your mind quieting.”

Deepening

“Now, imagine yourself walking down a gentle, winding staircase, with each step taking you deeper into relaxation. As you descend, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm and in control’ to yourself, feeling the truth of these words with each step. At the bottom of the staircase, imagine a warm, comforting light enveloping your body, filling you with a sense of peace and tranquility. Allow yourself to settle into this relaxed state, feeling completely safe and supported.”

Therapeutic Suggestions

“As you remain in this relaxed state, I want you to imagine yourself as a non-smoker, feeling healthy, strong, and confident. See yourself effortlessly resisting the urge to smoke, feeling no cravings or withdrawal symptoms.

Repeat the following phrases to yourself, allowing the words to sink deeply into your subconscious mind:

– I am a non-smoker, and I choose to live a healthy life.

– I release all desire to smoke, and I feel free from its control.

– I am in control of my actions and choices, and I choose to prioritize my health and well-being.

– I am capable of managing stress and emotions without smoking, and I feel calm and relaxed.”

Visualization

“Imagine yourself in a situation where you would normally smoke, such as after a meal or during a break. See yourself recognizing the urge, taking a deep breath, and choosing a healthier alternative, like going for a short walk or practicing deep breathing exercises. Feel proud of yourself for making this positive choice, and know that you can continue to make healthy decisions in the future. Imagine the smell of fresh air filling your lungs, and the feeling of confidence and pride that comes with being a non-smoker.”

Future Progression

“Now, imagine yourself one week from now, feeling strong and confident in your ability to resist the urge to smoke. See yourself effortlessly navigating social situations, and feeling no desire to light up a cigarette. Imagine the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with taking control of your health, and the feeling of freedom that comes with being a non-smoker.

Repeat the phrase ‘I am a non-smoker, and I am in control’ to yourself, feeling the truth of these words and the confidence that comes with them.”

When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling refreshed, renewed, and confident in your ability to stop smoking. You got this!
