Can hypnotherapy help me quit even if I have anxiety, PTSD or ADHD?

TLDR: Yes—hypnotherapy is uniquely effective for smokers with anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD. It targets both the habit and the emotional root, creating real, lasting change—especially when other methods flop.

🤯 Feel Like Smoking Is the Only Thing That Calms You Down?

If you're lighting up to deal with stress, trauma, or a brain that won't slow down, you're not alone—and you're not broken. Cigarettes may feel like your go-to solution, but they come with baggage.


🔦 Hypnotherapy helps rewire your emotional default settings so you can find peace without the puff.



🕵️‍♂️ Meet the Columbus Smokers We Work With Every Day:

  • "I smoke because I have anxiety and it chills me out."
  • "My PTSD makes cigarettes feel like a shield."
  • "With ADHD, I don't even realize I'm smoking until it's halfway gone."

If any of that hits home, good news: we specialize in cases just like yours at Quit Smoking Columbus Hypnotherapy.



🤔 Why Patches & Gum Don't Cut It (and Hypnosis Does)

Patches = treat nicotine. Gum = fight cravings. Apps = track behavior.


But none of that handles the emotional root. Hypnotherapy dives deep into the subconscious, where your real habits live.



🧠 What Hypnosis Does for Anxiety, PTSD & ADHD Smokers

Anxiety : 📊 Calms your nervous system, fast. You learn to self-soothe without lighting up.

PTSD: 🤝 Breaks the trauma-smoking loop. We gently rewire fear-based habits and triggers.

ADHD: 🌟 Builds in mental "pause buttons." Hypnosis helps you slow impulsive behaviors before they turn into a smoke break.



🚨 Real Talk: Hypnosis Works When Everything Else Fails

If you've tried everything and still smoke, there's a reason:

Your subconscious wasn't on board. Hypnotherapy speaks to the part of your brain that runs the show.
