Some of the main interventions employed in multi-component, cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH) for smoking cessation are described in detail below. Many are obviously suitable for use with or without hypnosis. They can be summarised, however, on a “menu” as follows, 1. Self-monitoring and recording of triggers, cognitions, behaviour, and emotion. 2. Operant conditioning, i.e., self-punishment and reward, including behavioural contracts, with the therapist or others. 3. Stimulus control, e.g., scheduled smoking and substitute behaviours. 4. Mindfulness or “thought-spotting.” 5. Thought-stopping and substitution. 6. Aversion therapy (“covert sensitisation”). 7. Cue-controlled relaxation or self-hypnosis for stress management. 8. Coping statements, self-talk, affirmations, autosuggestions, etc. 9. Cue cards, displaying “reasons for quitting” and/or coping strategies. 10. Post-hypnotic suggestion, e.g., direct suggestion. 11. Miscellaneous visual techniques, e.g., goal imagery or picturing a line of adrenaline in the cigarette. 12. Covert rehearsal of coping skills, i.e., mentally rehearsing assertive, non-smoking behaviour in relation to key trigger situations to prevent relapse. 13. Hypnotic desensitisation for anticipatory withdrawal anxiety. 14. Reinforcement of motivation by contrasting consequences, e.g., the “paths of life and death.” 15. Quitting ceremony. |
