Side effects to stopping smoking by willpower alone - Cravings

What to expect if you stop smoking by willpower alone

'Cravings', is an umbrella term, often used by many people who have stopped smoking by willpower alone, to describe a whole range of experiences that they have felt. 

When to expect it

For those who stop smoking by willpower alone, they can happen at any time, though how common they are during the first weeks or months depends on the 'symptom'.

Why does it happen?

When someone stops smoking by willpower alone, they often do so because they have decided consciously, that they want to stop smoking.  Unfortunately, the reasons why they decided to stop, are often not enough to convince the subconscious mind that it was a good idea! - So, at least until the subconscious mind 'catches up' of it's own accord (which I might never do), there is a discrepancy between what the conscious mind thinks, and what the subconscious mind feels.  It's called 'cognitive dissonance'.

It all boils down to the fact that the motivation to stop smoking isn't strong enough to overcome the desire to smoke.

Why my clients find it easier

The 'need' to smoke comes from the individual's subconscious mind, weighing up the benefits of smoking, against the benefits of not smoking. 

The stop smoking hypnotherapy session sets about to change the subconscious balance, so that the person has no desire to smoke, because their subconscious mind finds that the benefits of not smoking, greatly outweigh the 'benefits' of smoking.

When this process happens, the mechanisms supporting these 'withdrawal symptoms' are no longer there.
