Hypnosis can be a means to strengthen the client’s own will power to quit a habit. For example, a client who wants to stop smoking but some how feels trapped by his/her compulsion, may benefit from hypnosis. Subtle negative thought patterns (e.g., “I must smoke”) are combated by a positive suggestion, helping the client to relinquish such negative thoughts and to feel content without cigarettes.
