Most people agree that smoking is bad for our health. The warnings on cigarette
packets are being printed larger and larger, but there are many reasons people have
for wanting to stop smoking:
They are sick of the smell of stale tobacco smoke.
They have a family and are worried about contributing to health problems for their
children.
They want to protect their own health.
It is no longer fun to have to go outside the pub or restaurant to smoke in the evening
while their friends enjoy staying indoors, especially when the weather is cold or
wet.
Smoking costs a packet. 20 a day at £5.50 a pack comes to £2,007.50 per year. Can
you afford to burn that amount of money in a credit-crunch?
How can hypnosis help us to stop smoking?
Sometimes we consciously want to free ourselves of a habit, but our subconscious
mind sabotages our attempts by encouraging us to behave in the same old ways. Hypnosis
is used to access and change those subconscious patterns of behaviour.
If you don’t want to stop smoking, then I can’t force you to do so. Under hypnosis
you will be free to reject any suggestions that you do not want to take on board.
However, if you have made the decision to stop smoking, then clinical hypnotherapy
can help you to do this much more easily.
I offer a single extended session to stop smoking. This lasts between 90 minutes
and two hours, varying depending on the individual client. I always allow the full
two hours for this session in my diary to ensure that we will not be rushed. No
initial consultation is necessary.
