Stop Smoking for GOOD!
Probably the most
effective method of stopping smoking available!
If you don't really
want to quit, please leave my site now. I only help those who REALLY
want to be helped. This is not an insult, I just sincerely want to help
those who are dedicated to their own health and well-being. I am sure
you understand that the package offered is very powerful and
comprehensive, and not to be wasted.
Why?
Because it combines
some of the most effective methods that are used in complementary
health:
1- Hypnosis
2- Motivational
Behaviour change
(similar to Allan Carr method only based instead on more established
life
coaching and psychotherapy methods)
3 -Self-help methods
Including hypnosis tapes, hand-outs and recommended
supplements
All of these methods are combined in order to
effectively hit the smoking habit with a number of effective tools, all
at once. Instead of using just one possible method, this is a "belt and
braces" approach to give you the best possible chance
of becoming and remaining a non-smoker.
As an ex-smoker I truly HATE the habit and have dedicated much effort
to creating a substantially improved version of methods available in
the field before now.
Why use Hypnotherapy /
Hypnosis?
Because
the addiction to smoking is mainly
psychological. After the first few days the physical
addiction is over. After that time it is the mental addiction
that triggers people into returning to the habit. And as you may know,
most people return to the habit weeks or months later and can brave out
those first couple of days.
Force of
habit, conditioned response, emotional comfort (adult version of a
baby's dummy), seeing others smoking, being in a position when you
would smoke previously ....... these are all typical triggers for
smoking again after trying to quit.
Also
defeatism as an excuse! The quit smoker
slips for one evening, probably after having had a drink. He/she
has a few cigarettes and then the next morning carries on
smoking because he/she "failed". This can be after
years of abstinence! This is a typical use of defeatism as a
justification for starting again!
Denial is
another reason, again psychological.
People are well educated in many of the risks of smoking, such as
cancer, heart disease, bronchitis etc..... However they rarely
really imagine what that could mean to THEM. They treat it as an
academic exercise, not real life where it could be THEM returning
home after a check-up and telling a loved one they have months to
live! People like to treat it as a problem on paper, or something
that happens to others .... it is NOT!
Hypnotherapy
can tackle the conditioned
response and help to program NEW responses, responses that do not
involve tobacco. This tackles the habit HEAD-ON. Also with the
defeatism, it is possible, gently of course, to use a little
visualisation to imagine these issues PERSONALLY (although never
going so far as to harm the client with the exercise). The
reaction of "denial" too can be tackled with new "programming".
A good
therapist will also go through all the risk factors, personal details,
history and related data in an interview with the client, both to
ensure safety to proceed, and to gain useful information to incorporate
into the hypnotherapy session. They will also provide a booster tape,
advice sheets and use more than just hypnosis to help you quit.
