I’d agree that it’s psychological so would be a soft science. I did a session with a therpist in Plano about two Summers ago for smoking cessation and I have to say it really worked. But, while he was talking me out of smoking and had me all relaxed, watching the aves on a beach, and the “white noise” was playing I still was very aware of my surroundings and at any moment could have sat up, said “this is bunk” and not have had any problem. (Like when people walk around hypnotized until the hypnoist snaps them out of it on tv.) However, I was hoping it would help, since my addiction to cigarettes is psychlogical why not use something that is psychological to combat it? So, I was receptive and although I felt silly at first that went away and I laid back and kept an open mind. Actually after ward I felt as thought I’d had the best nap EVER, even though I never “went to sleep”.
Now, I still had to wear the patch for the chemical addiction, and to keep from rapidly swinging into mood filled rages, but truly the desire for a cig went away with the triggers he gave me and I was smoke free for months with no relapse.
Of course, I have a teenage son who provided the perfect excuse for me to jump back on the Marlboro train…I keep meaning to listed to the CD the guy made for me. I don’t because I’m not a willing participant so I think it would be a waste of time at this point.
