I am in control of my choices. I choose to live a healthy, smoke-free life.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for overcoming smoking addiction:
*Induction*
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll embark on a journey to overcome your smoking addiction. Get comfortable, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to relax. Imagine any tension or stress leaving your body with each breath.
“I want you to imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene place. It could be a beach, a forest, or a mountain meadow. Anywhere that makes you feel calm and relaxed. Take a moment to visualize yourself in this place, feeling calm and at ease.
“Now, I want you to focus on your breathing. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose, and out through your mouth. As you breathe, feel your body relaxing, letting go of any remaining tension or anxiety.
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself becoming heavier, your body sinking deeper into relaxation. Your eyelids growing heavy, your muscles relaxing, your mind quieting.
“You’re now in a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions. Remember, you’re in control, and you’re making a conscious decision to overcome your smoking addiction.”
*Deepening*
“Imagine yourself going deeper into relaxation, like sinking into a warm bath or lying on a soft, fluffy cloud. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more peaceful.
“Allow your mind to quiet, like a still pond on a windless day. Any thoughts, worries, or distractions, imagine them floating away like leaves on the surface of the water.
“Now, visualize a bright, warm light filling your body, starting at the top of your head, and flowing down to your toes. This light represents calmness, confidence, and clarity. As it fills your body, imagine any remaining craving for cigarettes melting away.”
*Reframing and Suggestions*
“Imagine yourself in a situation where you would normally reach for a cigarette. Maybe it’s after a meal, or when you’re on a break at work. But this time, instead of reaching for a cigarette, you make a different choice.
“You choose to take a deep breath, feeling the calmness and confidence that comes with it. You choose to focus on the present moment, enjoying the company of those around you, or finding joy in a hobby or activity.
“Imagine this feeling of confidence and self-control growing stronger with each passing day. You’re in charge, making healthy choices that align with your values and goals.
“Repeat after me: ‘I am in control of my choices. I choose to live a healthy, smoke-free life.'”
*Visualization*
“Imagine yourself six months from now, living a life free from smoking. You’re proud of yourself, proud of the progress you’ve made, and the healthy choices you’ve made.
“You see yourself enjoying activities, hobbies, and spending time with loved ones, all without the need for cigarettes. You feel confident, strong, and in control.
“Now, imagine yourself looking back at the person you used to be, the person who struggled with smoking addiction. You see how far you’ve come, and how much stronger you are now.
“Smile, knowing that you’ve overcome your addiction, and that you’re living a life that’s authentic, fulfilling, and healthy.”
*Awakening*
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly open your eyes. You’re back in the present, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more confident than ever.
“Remember, the power to overcome smoking addiction is within you. You’ve made a conscious decision to take control of your life, and you’ve taken the first step towards a healthier, happier you.
“Keep the feeling of calmness and confidence with you, and know that you can always return to this peaceful place whenever you need to.”
