The smoking cessation session usually takes between 90 to 120 minutes. This includes the consultation to find out why you wish to stop and to tailor the session to your needs. I get to know your personal relationship with your smoking habit. We discuss any concerned you may have about hypnosis and we only progress once you feel totally comfortable.
During the session you may feel totally relaxed and leave the session feeling elated and free of your smoking habit.
The hypnosis part of the session is recorded (unless otherwise requested by you) and this will be sent to you should you wish to listen to it again.
Clinical hypnosis has very high rates of success when breaking the habit of smoking. This is in part due to eliminating the unconscious triggers that keep people smoking. This is done by removing your desire to smoke in the situations which trigger your need to smoke. It frees you of withdrawal symptoms and replaces them with a new sense of self control. As this is a boost to your willpower, you must want to stop. You can not give the habit up if you do not wish to.
In the relaxed hypnotic state of deep concentrate I am able to guide your unconscious mind away from the uncontrollable desire to smoke and replace this with a new desire to not smoke. You will not be battling with the thought of not smoking but simply no longer having a desire to smoke.
During the consultation part I discuss with you any personal worries you may have in regards to stopping. We look at the situations which you find most challenging/ stressful which trigger your desire to smoke. Once this habit is broken you will not feel the need to replace it with anything else and this includes over eating.
