The Subconscious at Work in Our Daily Lives
Many of our daily activities are second nature; we perform them with little conscious thought. Tasks like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes are done almost automatically. This phenomenon is known as autopilot, or subconscious, behavior.
Highway Hypnosis: A Common Example
A term you may have heard is “Highway Hypnosis.” When driving, we are aware of our actions, yet much of our thought processes are subconscious. If we were acutely aware of every pebble on the road, driving would be an overwhelming task. Our unconscious mind handles much of the processing, allowing us to navigate from point A to B with ease. This shows how often we rely on our subconscious mind without realizing it.
Many of our daily activities are second nature; we can walk through them without much conscience thought. It’s like brushing your teeth or tying your shoes. You can do many of them with your eyes closed, without even giving them much conscious thought. You have probably heard of the term, “Highway Hypnosis“. When we drive a car we are very aware of what we are doing, yet much of our thought processes are subconscious. Think about that for a second: if you were acutely aware of every pebble in the road, you wouldn’t be able to drive from point A to B. We use our unconscious mind more than we realize. This is called autopilot, or subconscious, behavior. Many times we do things that we may not really be aware of, or so it may seem.
Hypnotherapy is a method to help us cope and change unwanted behavior, as well as emphasize wanted thoughts and behavior.
-
Long-Term Benefits: New longitudinal research indicates that the effects of hypnotherapy may last longer than previously understood, with significant reductions in anxiety symptoms sustained over multiple years.
-
Mechanisms of Action: There is an increased understanding of how hypnotherapy affects the brain. Studies using fMRI and EEG have documented changes in brain activity patterns associated with successful hypnosis interventions, particularly in areas involved in attention, stress regulation, and emotional control.
-
Personalization of Therapy: Advances in genetic and psychological profiling have begun to help therapists tailor hypnotherapy approaches to individual patients, enhancing treatment effectiveness and patient engagement.

How Can Hypnosis Help You Stop Smoking?
Smoking is an unconscious habit, for the most part. It’s a ritual that is rooted in the subconscious. It seems normal and automatic. We help you unplug the triggers, once you desire the benefits of taking a deep, fresh, breath for the first time in what has probably been a long time.
What are your triggers? Many are very common:
- After a meal
- Driving in the Car
- On a break
- Stress relief
- Boredom
- Watching TV
- Talking on the phone
Even though you think you still enjoy the habit, the desire to take that deep fresh breath of air is more powerful. That smile on your face when you rediscover your sense of smell. The grass is greener on the other side, and we will help you transition. That’s what we do.
A Question to ask yourself: Do You Desire the Benefits of Being a Former-Smoker even though you still reach out for a smoke? This may seem to be conflicting thoughts, but that’s normal. Smoking is usually a habit that is something we brought from our teenage years and is simply baggage from High School, but we’re not 19 anymore, that’s all.
Once you realize that’s all it is, then you’re ready to walk away from a habit that you don’t even want anymore.
Hypnotherapy May Help You Walk Away From a Smoking Habit
Disassociating the Triggers from the Habit.
It’s the Ritual of Smoking that Needs to Be Broken.
That’s our job. Let Us Help You.
Once the Triggers are “Unplugged”, we can then help you with Limiting the “Separation Anxiety” associated with stopping the daily ritual that’s been left behind. This approach also works for stopping other smoking habits like weed, vaping, etc., if that’s what you’re after.

There is one thing that you need to keep in mind: The only person who can make you successful is you. If you are ready and truly want to stop smoking then there is no reason that you cannot be understanding that no hypnotist has the power to create that for you. Being able to create closer bonds with the people who love and care for you, saving a ton of money while allowing you to breathe easier, extending your life is a huge benefit for the relatively small investment of your time and resources. That is if you care about your own life at least as much as those who love you do.
More hypnotists successfully use Skype and Zoom to help their clients with habits such as smoking, fear of public speaking, sports performance, and more.
I encourage you to take a few minutes to learn more about hypnosis.

Smoking is definitely one. Hmmm I've LITERALLY done Sessions that people all liked on close to 200 different things. Depression would be another, and them possibly Age Regression. 🙂

I have smoked for forty years and all through wanted and willing to stop. The irony is I get so agitated when I skip my regular puff. Please help me quit the habit.
