Stop Smoking with HypnotherapyNew Scientist Magazine
Source: New Scientist Magazine, reporting a Meta Analysis of 72,000 people
ResearchThe largest study ever conducted into stopping smoking, (undertaken in the U.S.A. & Scandinavia), studied everything from will-power, nicotine patches, positive thinking, placebos, chewing gum etc - and the conclusion was that:"Most techniques turned out to be hopeless, Hypnosis however came out as the most effective anti-smoking technique." This comment was based on 'regular' Hypnotherapy. The method I use includes not only Hypnosis but also borrows from analytical therapy, positive thinking and applied psychology, and is why it gives these such impressive results: With this powerful Smoking Cessation technique 95% of smokers find it easy to quit - in just one session. Why do you want to quit?Most smokers who want to give up smoking think that by quitting smoking that they will live little longer, feel healthier, get nagged a little less from your partner or kids, save money, or have nicer smelling breath. And that is almost certainly true, but here's the thing, none of this of those reasons offer immediate rewards. So the day after quitting smoking. (or the next day, or week, or even month) you may not instantly feel healthier/ fitter/ richer/ nicer smelling/ less nagged - which is where so many smokers fall down.It's easy to see why some smokers would think that giving up smoking is a raw deal. That is, to give up something they love, just to feel healthier in five years time. Pretty underwhelming, isn't it? Is it any wonder then that people often get stressed, moody, stroppy, angry and depressed when they quit smoking by willpower alone. These people want their rewards and benefits NOW - not in five/ten/twenty years time. And quite right too. And that's the beauty of having Hypnotherapy for Smoking Cessation. It's so successful because you do receive immediate rewards for your efforts including;
Although there are more benefits I could list here, these are the four main immediate benefits. So with that in mind, just suppose you received a fantastic sense of well-being, calmness, pride and satisfaction every time you got yourself in a situation where you used to have a cigarette. Chances are that you would not EVER want or need to smoke again ? If you live in or around West Essex, or East London, you can now stop smoking EASILY in just one session - using unique hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques. What Happens in the Hypnotherapy Smoking Cessation Session?The session lasts about one hour, sometimes a little longer - a forty minute 'talky bit', followed by an approximate 20 minute hypnosis session. During the 'talky bit' your belief system will be challenged (the way you think and feel about smoking); you will be asked many questions (some quite personal) and the therapist will get you to think differently about smoking. Through challenging your beliefs about why you smoke, and learning to see the whole smoking business from a totally different perspective (Warning: much banter and humour may be employed during this part of the session!) you will be well on your way to being a Non-Smoker. The hypnosis element will ‘clinch the deal’ so to speak: you will find yourself feeling relaxed, calm and confident that You Are a Non-Smoker and you will not need to substitute anything for your old need to smoke - the old need has simply gone: you are a non-smoker.

Addiction can come in many forms, and isn't just limited to addiction to substances such as Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroine and other drugs. We've all heard about the rise of other addictions such as Pornography, Shopping, Video Games and the Internet. There is nearly always both a psychological element as well as a physical element involved in the addiction and Hypnosis and NLP can be extremely effective in creating more useful behaviours, coping strategies, boosting self control and motivation but more importantly helping to address the root cause of the addiction as well.

Hypnosis was successfully used to overcome a $500 (five grams) per day cocaine addiction. The subject was a female in her twenties. After approximately 8 months of addiction, she decided to use hypnosis in an attempt to overcome the addiction itself. Over the next 4 months, she used hypnosis three times a day and at the end of this period, her addiction was broken, and she has been drug free for the past 9 years. Hypnosis was the only intervention, and no support network of any kind was available.
Significant differences were found on all measures. The experimental group had significantly less discomfort and illicit drug use, and a significantly greater amount of cessation. At six month follow up, 94% of the subjects in the experimental group who had achieved cessation remained narcotic free.
Treatment has been used with 18 clients over the last 7 years and has shown a 77 percent success rate for at least a 1-year follow-up. 15 were being seen for alcoholism or alcohol abuse, 2 clients were being seen for cocaine addiction, and 1 client had a marijuana addiction Please note, if you're considering a complementary treatment or therapy for any medical condition, always consult your doctor (GP) first.

Hypnotherapy is the name given for any therapy done in conjunction with Hypnosis, and is generally classified in the Complimentary Medicine/Alternative Therapy field. Other definitions (and there are many!) align it more as a branch of psychotherapy. It has a huge body of rigorous scientific research that validates the amazing claims of Hypnotherapy with tangible and documented results. This has lead to its acceptance as a widely scientifically acknowledged psychological and therapeutic discipline and a long-standing reputation for effectiveness among the general public.
Contrary to popular opinion, Hypnosis is actually a state of heightened responsiveness, not sleep or unconsciousness; you will be in full control of your own body and mind during our sessions - Hypnosis is a completely safe and harmless form of therapy. It can help you with a broad spectrum of issues - see the sidebar on the left for a list of issues that can be helped by Hypnosis In my Hypnotherapy sessions, you'll be guided into a state in which psychological and physical changes, beyond normal conscious capability, happen easily, and swiftly. Think about this as essentially a state of hyper-suggestibility. |
