Stop smoking
Giving up smoking takes 2 hours, it's quick, it's a no brainer! It ranks as one of the most important and beneficial decisions you will ever make in your entire life.
Make it!
An ex-smokers story
Karen, was a typical smoker. She started before she was 15, just one or two cigarettes, and then a few more. By 33 her average day started with a smoke as soon as she got out of bed, another one before work, another at morning tea, three at lunchtime... so it continued. By bedtime she had finished the packet. If she went out it became lots more.
She knew it had a hold over her and was reminded of this by her inability to stop smoking on her own, having tried willpower and patches and gum. She was always trying to conceal the smell of smoke she knew surrounded her. She knew her teeth were yellow and her hair was lank. She knew it wasn't good for her.
She knew however that once a long time ago she had stopped for 6 months and she had felt so energised and clear headed. So different. But one night, with a drink in her hand, someone had offered her one cigarette. Just that one simple cigarette had led to the whole habit back again.
Karen's catalyst came last year. After years of trying for a baby she decided on IVF. She had to give up. Her need for children far outweighed her need for smokes.
She came to see me. She hadn't had hypnotherapy before, we talked and found the reasons for her smoking, I gave her a calming exercise to do. She came back in 3 days and that day she stopped smoking.
Within 24 hours the nicotine and carbon monoxide were gone from her body and her circulation had improved. She found she could taste and smell things much better and within a month she could see and feel the difference in her skin and hair. She had more energy. After 3 months she was already feeling the benefits within her body, breathing, focus, relaxation, hormones, energy, sex life, the lot.
Your hypnotherapy programme
For casual and average smokers it is two sessions of hypnotherapy with full back up support for two months. We both want it to be successful and I use positive techniques to help achieve this.The first session provides you with a taste of hypnotherapy and confidence to help quit. Three days to a week later the second session finishes the process.
The total price of £180 Knebworth, £190 London, is probably as much as you would have spent on cigarettes in a month. For women this is barely a couple of trips to the hairdresser. For guys a couple of nights out. You would pay this to have a small part of your house repaired. This is your life, the cost is minimal!
For long term heavy smokers, (20 plus per day) your programme will involve a third session and EFT to deal with all the unconscious smoking triggers and beliefs.
