Rejuvenate Hypnotherapy

Why is it so hard to quit?

How do I tackle the physical addiction to nicotine?  We all know that cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance found naturally in tobacco.  It travels quickly to the brain when it is inhaled and can cause a feeling of temporary relaxation and/or stress relief.

Nicotine can also elevate your mood and your heart rate, although this feeling is only temporary. After your body rids itself of the drug, you start to crave another cigarette. Shortly after you finish smoking the next cigarette, your body starts to show signs of withdrawal again and you start to crave another one to overcome these symptoms, starting a vicious cycle of dependency.

How do I find new ways to handle my stress?  Do you grab a cigarette when you feel stressed or anxious?  Stress, whether it’s from your job, relationships, caregiving burdens or just plain fast-paced living, can cause you to look for fast and easy relief, although you know in the long run, smoking will only add to your stress by taking away your good health.

To successfully quit smoking, you may need to think through your stress-management options first. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help you find new ways of dealing positively with life’s stressors, becoming a non-smoker by:

• eliminating your physical, psychological and social smoking triggers

• alleviating the cravings and withdrawal symptoms usually experienced when quitting smoking

• dealing with the root causes of your smoking habit
