There are two basic approaches to addressing the presented issue. The older and more commonly known technique is "suggestion". When a person is in a hypnotized state, they are more accepting of suggestions. Suggestion based hypnosis is able to help some people. But a more common outcome from a suggestion session is short term results or none at all. If a person has an existing habit, suggestions just fight against it. If you think of an old style balance scale - the existing habit is on one side and is heavier. On the other side is the current motivation to change. If you add suggestions to the motivation side, you may be able to out-weigh the habit. And maybe not. If the suggestion is able to change things, the habit can still exist and be fighting against the suggestions until it wears them down. = short term change.
The more modern techniques focus on the habit directly. Changing or removing the learned behavior so there is minimal, if any, habit to fight against. Using the balance scale example, if you have nothing on the habit side of the scale, the motivation side is much easier. Of course the clients chance of success is much higher. Followed up with suggestions, you have a powerful and brief process.
From my research and office experience, the second technique is preferred. It is more comfortable, has more consistent results and uses less sessions so is less costly for the client.
