To be successful in giving up smoking, the most important factor is desire. You must want to stop, even if you think you can't. So long as the true desire to make this change is firmly in place, then hypnosis can help.
Therefore, before I agree to go ahead and treat somebody for smoking, the first thing I need to assess is motivation for quitting.
Most people are successful in giving up smoking through hypnosis, however there are factors involved in being successful:
1. You must absolutely want the change you are asking for.
2. You are comfortable about using the process of hypnosis to make that change. You may not have been hypnotised before, so feeling apprehensive is normal, feeling scared is not!
3. You are not resistant to trance. Now we won’t really know that until we get going, but most people will know whether it is something they are happy to try or not.
4. There is no psychological reason behind the smoking ie. it is more than a habit. I tend to pick this up from prospective clients when I talk to them though, as it will be evident in the way they talk about cigarettes.
With hypnosis we'll change the way you think about cigarettes at the unconscious level and that's where the change needs to take place. The conscious mind needs to have the desire - the unconscious mind needs the re-education. It no longer needs to respond to the old triggers that led you to smoke. It'll have new choices, which ultimately lead to a healthier, more satisfying way of living.
For most people, smoking is just a habit they would rather stop, and if all of the above is in place, and they genuinely want to stop, they tend to be very successful with hypnosis. Stopping smoking is a two session treatment plan and the cost is £175
