Research on Self Hypnosis to Stop Smoking

For sometime self hypnosis was viewed as radical. A lot of people did not believe that self hypnosis worked. As time went on more and more people started looking into self hypnosis and seeing the benefits of using self hypnosis to change things about themselves that they did not like. Smoking is one bad habit that people have used hypnosis for.

I logged into several chat rooms to poll the chatters and get their insight into how the view the effects of self hypnosis on smoking. What I found was shocking considering all the positive news on the use of hypnosis to stop smoking.

When I polled the people I was able to discover was that women seemed to be more accepting than men on different approaches to stop a bad habit. While the majority of the women I polled leaned toward believing that hypnosis could help one to stop smoking, the women did not believe that self hypnosis would work. The majority of the women said that hypnosis would only in their opinion work if the person used a trained hypnotist.

Men on the other hand did not believe that hypnosis would work whether a hypnotist was used or not. Thus showing that men seemed to lean more toward traditional methods more so than women.

Most hypnotists that work with people who want to stop smoking boast a high success rate. This high success rate generates them more and more clients all the time that are seeking to stop smoking. So why then are these hypnotists able to flourish with such lack of doubt in their methods within the majority of the publics mind?

I polled more people to get a better understanding from the view point of people as to why with so much skeptics surrounding hypnosis and even self hypnosis are hypnotists still able to receive a large number of new and repeat clients.
Men and women both seemed to view this from the same standing. What I learned was that in the mind’s of people this business is flourishing because despite skeptics people are willing to try anything to get what they want. As for repeat clients I learned that people view this happening because people for the most part believe that the more you do something eventually the result will differ.

As for self hypnosis the people that I polled believed that these people are desperate for results but don’t want to spend the money to achieve the results that they want. This desperation to stop smoking has them latching on to the notion that self hypnosis will help them to stop smoking.

So the end results of my research shows that women are more likely to believe that hypnosis works to stop smoking if the hypnosis is done with a hypnotist. While women are skeptic about self hypnosis working. Men on the other hand are skeptic about either form of hypnosis working.

The last results I gathered shows why hypnosis and self hypnosis is flourishing in society despite skeptics. In a nutshell is because as humans we will try anything that is offered to gain the results we are so desperately seeking.
