Stop Smoking with Hypnosis  

Most people we see will quit smoking with hypnosis in a single session. Once you have made the decision to quit your smoking habit, there are very few reasons why you should need more than one hypnotherapy session.   

When someone decides to stop smoking, that decision is of course a conscious decision. Unfortunately, having made that decision, many people then experience how the habit just wants to go on regardless.

It is common for people to light up a cigarette without even thinking about it - even after making a conscious decision that they don't want to smoke anymore. People using nicotine patches will often take off their patch to have a cigarette! The simple reason for this is because the habit is in a deeper part of the mind – it has become part of your subconscious mind. It creates the nagging desire for a cigarette and becomes caught up in your response to different situations and emotions, such as stressful times, or when you're out having a drink...   

•  By accessing the subconscious mind using hypnosis, you can create change at the same level of mind as the smoking habit itself. In this way you overcome the psychological addiction of smoking.
• Instead of forcing yourself not to smoke using a lot of effort and willpower, using hypnotherapy you will find yourself more in touch with the natural intelligence of your mind and body, with a desire to not smoke.  

One of the nasty things about the smoking habit is that it can disconnect you from your basic ‘OK-ness’. In other words, you feel a need to smoke in order to feel O.K. When you leave behind the habit, you also leave behind this unpleasant feeling, and connect again with your fundamental wellbeing. If you are a smoker now, you might understand this intellectually, but as a non-smoker, you will experience the living truth of it. 

So what happens when you use hypnosis?

In your hypnosis session, you create a change in the way you respond to situations or emotions that trigger the urge to smoke. When you find that you can have more of the things that you want by not smoking - for example, feeling more satisfied, more at ease, more calm, - then you’ll find yourself simply doing what makes you feel the best: not smoking. A distinction is made between becoming free of the habit in your mind, as opposed to simply finding some means of denial. With freedom, denial becomes a non-issue. 

We spend a good amount of time with you, so that we can get to know the "nuts and bolts" of YOUR habit, and find out what you need in order for you to move away from the smoking habit with ease and empowerment. 

If you're a smoker, the thought of not smoking can cause some anxiety. But remember, as a non-smoker, this thought is one of the things you will leave behind, for good. 

Hypnotherapy has long been considered a great way of quitting smoking. Our experience proves this to be true.
