Question:
Any thoughts on how effective a hypnotism might be in helping someone stop smoking?
Answer:
It's bollocks. Well, it was for me anyway, about 15 years ago,
when I had a course to quit smoking. But, with hindsight,
I was not ready to quit, did not
want to, and was attempting to force the issue. Consequently, any
attempt to influence the kind at a deeper level was futile, I just
wasn't really interested. I just thought I really ought to quit.
Conversely, a mate of mine, a heavy smoker for 20 years, has been
fag-free for over 18 months now, through a course of hypnotherapy. He
really did want to pack up, and had convinced himself that hypnosis
would work before he even started. And it did.
It's the same old story, if you want to, you will; if you don't, you
won't.
