Like 12 million French people, I am a daily smoker, or rather, I was a smoker. It’s been eight days since I launched the “No Tobacco Month” challenge. Quit smoking and get rid of nicotine addiction in thirty days. To achieve this, I met psychologist and hypnotherapist Isabelle Célestin-Lhopiteau.
Before the hypnosis session, an assessment is necessary and clear objectives must be defined. For my part, I am D + 8 from quitting smoking, at the time of my appointment. I didn’t give in and I’m quite proud of it. On the other hand, I vape a lot with my electronic cigarette which has 0.3 Mg of nicotine. I vape at the office, in the street, on my couch, in short, I have the impression of having exchanged one addiction for another.
That’s good, hypnosis for smoking cessation linked to electronic cigarettes also works. It involves putting oneself in a state of modified consciousness to change the perception of pain, modify stress or even an addiction. “Hypnosis will act as a regain of control” explains the director of the French Institute of Psychocorporeal Practices, “it’s like internal reprogramming where the person understands that they can do differently”.
Hypnotherapy is considered an alternative technique and is not reimbursed by health insurance. However, it is one of the most tested methods in France despite a price of between forty and a hundred euros.
To see the hypnosis session, watch the video at the top of this article. And if you too stop smoking, don’t hesitate to write to me in the comments to share your advice and tips.
