 Most clients can be helped with just one session!

Research comparing many different studies of hypnotherapy has shown that on average smokers are over five times more likely to break the habit with hypnosis than by willpower alone. Hypnotherapy in general is also proven to be more than twice as effective compared with nicotine patches. If you really want to stop smoking then one session could be all you need.

What makes hypnotherapy so effective for stopping smoking?

Hypnotherapy helps us change two very important things. Firstly it lets us address the habit of smoking. Smoking becomes so much a part of our everyday life. It becomes connected to things like relaxing, eating or driving, so much so that it simply doesn’t feel right if you don’t have a cigarette. The same can be true for so many aspects of our daily life, from having a drink, eating or driving.

Secondly nicotine is highly addictive and stimulates the brains primary reward pathway. Both of these problems can be addressed through Hypnotherapy. The unconscious mind can instruct the brain to effectively filter out cravings for cigarettes. If the process is done properly this will target specific situations that may be stress points for you, e.g. with friend, or your first cup of coffee of the day. The unconscious mind is also what controls our habits, so we can use hypnosis to reprogram our habits much more effectively than the conscious mind.

When we are in hypnosis that analytical voice that says “you won’t be able to do this” or something similar is quiet, so that these new ideas can become a vivid part of our inner world. At the end of the session we will have installed an internal representation of life without cigarettes that will be attractive:

• no cravings
• feeling fitter
• enjoying your food more
• not overeating
• able to socialise with people who still smoke
• more money
• better health
• more self control!
• No substitution of food or anything else

If you have been thinking about giving up, I am willing to bet you have been thinking in terms of sacrifice and struggle! No wonder your unconscious mind doesn’t want to go ahead. Once you have a clear internal picture of a positive and happy life without cigarettes that feels believable you can make the decision on an emotional level.

What can I expect?

It is important that any hypnotherapy is designed to address the specific needs of the individual and this is especially so when helping you to stop smoking. Different people can enter trance in different ways, and it is important to find the way that works best for the individual. Hypnotherapy is something you do with someone not to someone. I always spend a large part of the initial session listening to my client, so that I can respond to their concerns and on the basis of this we can then agree whether a single session (this works best for 90% of the people I see), or a series of sessions will be most effective.

The procedure of Hypnotherapy is very straight forward. The first part of the session will be spent gathering information or reviewing progress. The Hypnosis session itself will consist of being guided by the hypnotherapists voice to enter a very comfortable and relaxed state a bit like a daydream. You will always be in control and will probably be fully aware of everything that is being said. I will give you a self hypnosis C.D to listen to as a booster. Almost without exception people report feeling relaxed and refreshed when the session ends. You will be wide awake and well able to drive, or go to work or back to school or whatever comes next in your day!
