Smoking Cessation Program

If you’ve tried them all but to no avail, make one final effort. Hypnosis is a proven effective way to stop smoking for good! Hypnosis is a safe, simple and effortless method that works. Quit smoking and maintain your good health.

My program will teach you how to break the habit of smoking. This smoking cessation program will teach you to control your smoking habit naturally through the techniques of:

Guided Imagery, Stress Management, and Self-Hypnosis.

The smoking cessation program consists of approximately five sessions. A complete smoking history is taken during the first session to determine your smoking habits. It is also important to assess family relationships, illnesses, emotional problems, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and any previous hypnotic experience and results. It is important to understand why, where, and when you are smoking. You will be given your first lesson in self-hypnosis. This exercise takes only a few minutes to accomplish and should be practiced at least twice a day. A stop smoking contract will be discussed and agreed upon. A sleep tape will be given to you to use thirty minutes before you go to sleep. This tape will begin the hypnotic process of reprogramming the subconscious to realize the intense displeasure and distaste in smoking and quit.

You will be given your first of five hypnotic sessions. These suggestions will concentrate on the habit of smoking. Habits can be broken as easily as they are created. One of the ways to do that is to make you aware of your smoking. The main reason you have continued to smoke is because you are doing it unconsciously-- you have not really been aware of what you were doing.

Your first session will make you aware of what you are doing when you are smoking. When you are aware of what you are doing, you are no longer in the unconscious habit. The awareness may make you annoyed with smoking, disgusted and bored by it. You may even want to put the cigarette out when you are only half-finished.

The second session is usually conducted within the first week of the program. For best results, the second session should be three to four days after the first session. During this session you will learn that smoking is more than a crutch- it is a hindrance, a block in your path. You walk ahead and wipe out smoking completely so that it has no place in your life. It will be wiped out by your concentrating on other beneficial things. And as you think of your goals, your work, your play, the entire idea of smoking never appears. Smoking is gone from your thoughts.

The third and fourth sessions deal with the negative aspects of smoking and the positive things you can do to replace the negative poison of smoking. Unless you think of yourself as a bothersome rat, you don’t need poison. You will discover that you are a wonderful, valuable human being. You are far happier without smoking. No matter what people may imply, this is not an endurance contest for you. It’s a simple matter of not doing something you don’t want to do anyway.

The fifth and final session reinforces the positive aspects of being a non-smoker. Whatever special situation you once connected with cigarettes is now in your past. There is no situation that calls for a cigarette. Everything goes better without cigarettes. All of those old connections are broken and new connections are made.
