OUR DROITWICH HYPNOTHERAPY AFTERCARE

Sometimes, people come to us not to stop smoking but for smoking reduction. It’s a choice they make. We publish a book on reduction. It’s called, No, You Don’t Have to Stop Smoking. You might be interested to read some of it before you visit our Droitwich hypnosis branch. Here is a taster.

Myth number 3:  Some people have an addictive personality …

This might be possible if addiction were a psychological phenomenon, but it isn’t, it’s entirely physiological. It affects your personality because you become psychologically dependent on the delivery method for the drug, but it cannot happen the other way round. You can’t have a personality that makes you addicted. You can have a personality that makes you try a drug and expose yourself to becoming addicted, but that’s different. You might have a dependent personality and you might think the difference between addiction and dependence is just a semantic one, and you would be right, without the just. Addiction and dependence are two quite separate things, which you are going to be learning about in detail, but I don’t want to hear you saying one thing and meaning another because it’s not helpful.
