But that's exactly what I'm suggesting happens sometimes.
Maybe it's intentional and maybe not.
By that I mean are you consciously or unconsciously blocking your success.
13 signs you are unconsciously blocking your success, or you just don't want to quit.
- You turn up for a hypnosis session and challenge the therapist to put you under.
- You have been too busy to read you pre session email and follow the pre instructions.
- Your partner booked the session and you engaged with the process.
- Your intake form is only sparsely filled out, avoiding specific important details.
- You keep some cigarettes on hand just in case.
- You're not prepared to avoid a risky smoking situation on the night of your session, in order for your nervous system to fully process the change.
- You complain that you may have to give up two hours of your time to quit.
- When booking the session it is the least important item in your busy schedule.
- You don't do your follow up steps.
- You take several weeks to report a problem.
- You come out of hypnosis, and in spite of experiencing specific hypnotic indicators, in spite of no prior hypnotic experience, you immediately question whether you were in a trance.
- You have a cigarette sometime after quitting, even though you didn't need one or want one.
- You forget to turn up for your appointment, given that most people who attend can think of little else in the prior day, forgetting is questionable.
But more likely you have a parts conflict.
That is a part of you wants to quick, but another part deep down in your subconscious is not only not ready but will actively block your efforts.
Let's assume that you do want to be a non smoker, then the solution is to dig deep prior to your session, to be completely honest about your reasons for smoking, and to allow yourself to deeply feel the pain of smoking.
Look at yourself in the mirror and shot out your intention to quit, then light a cigarette and blow the smoke through a tissue and feel the disgust.
