Quitting Habits

​

  • Smoking

  • Vaping

  • Nail biting

  • Gambling

  • Emotional or compulsive eating

  • Sugar cravings

  • Alcohol habits

  • Anxiety-based behaviours

  • Hair pulling or skin picking

Unwanted habits can feel frustrating, automatic, and hard to control.

Whether it’s smoking, vaping, nail biting, gambling, or other anxiety-driven behaviours, habits often persist even when you genuinely want them to stop.

​

This is because habits are not created by lack of willpower. They are learned patterns stored in the subconscious mind.

​

Hypnotherapy helps you change habits by working directly with the part of the mind that controls automatic behaviour, for example, like blinking and breathing.

Why Habits Are So Hard to Break

 

Most habits are formed as a response to stress, emotion, routine, or repetition. Over time, the behaviour becomes automatic.

​

Research shows that:

  • Around 80–85% of people fail to maintain long-term behaviour change when relying on willpower alone

  • The subconscious mind controls habits far more powerfully than conscious intention

  • Trying to “stop” without changing the underlying pattern often leads to cravings, relapse, or substitution                              

This is why many people quit temporarily, feel stuck in cycles of stopping and starting, or replace one habit with another.

How Hypnotherapy Helps You Quit Habits

​

Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, where habits are created and maintained.

​

Rather than battling urges, hypnotherapy helps by:                 

  • Identifying the subconscious reason the habit exists

  • Releasing emotional or stress-based triggers

  • Reducing or removing cravings

  • Reprogramming automatic responses

  • Restoring calm, choice, and control                                      

Change feels natural and effortless, rather than forced.

What Makes This Approach Different

​

Hypnotherapy does not rely on discipline, punishment, or constant effort.

Instead, it focuses on:

  • Understanding the role the habit plays

  • Gently removing the subconscious need for it

  • Allowing lasting change to happen from within                 

People can leave after just one session feeling

  • Free from cravings

  • Calm and in control

  • Confident the habit is finished

  • With no need for substitutes such as gum, patches, or replacement behaviours

​

It is recommended to book more than 1 session to give hightest chance of continued success - usually 3 - when dealing with long established habits even though you should quit after the first session - we will discuss this prior to sessions being booked.
