Smoking Cessation

Let us help you.

Are you trying to quit smoking?  Has smoking caused health issues that you need to resolve?  Are you tired of trying quit and failing?  Hypnosis can help.

Tobacco products have been proven to cause cancer, stroke, heart attack, and other health problems.  However, tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance that makes quitting smoking extremely difficult.  Hypnosis makes it easier.

The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute lists several important reasons to quit smoking.  They include reducing your chances of having a heart attack or stroke; reducing your chances of getting lung cancer, emphysema, and other lung diseases; having better smelling clothes, hair, breath, home, and car; climbing stairs and walking without getting out of breath; having fewer wrinkles; being free of your morning cough; reducing the number of coughs, colds, and earaches your child will have; having more energy to pursue physical activities you enjoy; treating yourself to new books or music with the money you save from not buying cigarettes; and having more control over your life.

How does hypnosis help? 

The hypnosis process for smoking cessation involves an initial consultation session, followed by a hypnosis session and follow-up sessions as necessary.  The consultation session with a hypnotherapist will generally involve gathering information into your personal reasons for wanting to quit smoking, and an overall introduction to the therapist. This enables the therapist to tailor the hypnosis to your situation, making the hypnosis more effective. In the hypnosis session, the therapist will use techniques such as positive affirmations and suggestions that will help you stop smoking.

Changing for a better, healthier lifestyle should be a positive experience.  Although nicotine seems to be an unbeatable, addictive substance, in a few days it will be almost unnoticeable.  You might be able to admit that the difficulties of quitting smoking are unimportant compared to the free, healthy life that remains.

So, if it’s so simple, why haven’t you been able to achieve it in the past?  It is because you thought of cigarettes as an unbeatable force, not a psychological addiction.

Hypnotherapy can allow you to think of giving up smoking as not “giving up” anything at all.  With hypnosis, you can work with the psychological and emotional aspects of addiction.  You may believe that smoking is the only way to achieve relaxation, but a truly deep state of peace can be reached during hypnosis.

Smoking cessation through hypnotherapy has a high success rate and is one of the most common reasons why people seek hypnosis.  With a focus on the positive results of quitting smoking, such as good health, fitness, energy, and freedom, rather than the negative aspects, hypnotherapy in smoking cessation is an excellent way to end smoking.

It is proven that hypnosis is one of the most effective ways to quit smoking.  According to research results in the Journal of Applied Psychology (10/92), hypnotherapy is more effective than nicotine patches or replacement therapy, acupuncture, self-help media, and working alone with sheer will-power.

Most people can stop smoking in a single session, while others may require more.  A consultation session is required to determine the appropriate approach to take, among other things.
