Quit Smoking - How To Eliminate The Fear Of Quitting
Some people quit smoking using will power, but most pay for some kind of practitioner service.
A big fear is that the process won't work and that they will waste their money and will continue smoking.
So the question is how can practitioners set their clients minds at ease? When you choose a quit smoking practitioner, they should be able to supply you with genuine testimonials from satisfied clients who have successfully quit.
As humans we are subject to some basic psychological laws, in this case the law of social proof.
We tend to feel more comfortable in our dealings if we know that others have been before us.
Seeing and reading these successful accounts will reduce the quitting fear.
Another way to instil confidence is if the practitioner offers a guarantee of their services.
This is not widely in the health fields and some practitioners will say it's crazy and just not possible.
I believe it makes perfect sense.
The guarantee could be to repeat the process if it is not successful the first time.
It could be money back, although this can reduce the commitment of the client.
The combination of the guarantee and social proof should be enough to allow a person to enter the quit smoking process with much reduced fear.
To further ensure comfort a clear understanding of the process is important.
You should ask questions and be satisfied with the answers.
You should be given some clear information about the role of nicotine in addiction.
Plus you should understand the real role of smoking in managing stress.
If you are choosing hypnosis you should be given a clear explanation as to what hypnosis is and what it isn't.
The last thing you need to do is educate yourself as to the true nature of the dangers of smokers.
Knowing clearly the risks, knowing the deceptive nature of nicotine, this information will empower you to approach quitting with conviction and commitment.
This now puts you in a position to quit with a high chance of success.
Quitting is so important that you need to do all you can do to save your own life, not anyone else's life just yours.
Hypnosis is your best chance and choosing the right therapist is critical to your success.
Do not take this lightly; do not enter into quitting in a half hearted manner.
Do take this very very seriously.
