Stop smoking with hypnotherapy
It works because:
Other smoking cessation methods such as nicotine gum and patches work only by giving your body only what it needs to cope with the physical withdrawal from smoking.
Do you ever wonder how your body will ever stop wanting nicotine?
Hypnotherapy combined with therapeutic techniques enable us to address the role of thoughts and behaviours that keep the need for cigarettes going, for example how we respond to stressful situations, cravings and situations with which we associate smoking.
A review of many research studies suggests that smokers using hypnotherapy are five times more likely to be successful that using just willpower alone and hypnotherapy was found to be more than twice as effective as nicotine gum.....
Reported in New Scientist (1992 - Volume 136, Issue 1845, Page 6).
During my stop smoking programme you will:
- Develop alternative ways of thinking to boost your exsiting willpower to stop smoking
- Greatly reduce the frequency of thoughts of and desire to smoke, so they will no longer have the same effect.
- Learn new strategies to help you cope with particularly stressful situations so that you will maintain your freedom from smoking.
Here are a few reminders of why it is beneficial to stop smoking:
- Smoking interferes with the chemistry of the brain, making you more susceptible to stress, anxiety and depression
- Nicotine is a pesticide...it kills small insects- so just imagine what it does over time to our bodies through smoking.
- 'The Cancer Mortgage'- Smoking costs an average of £140,000 over a lifetime, enough to buy a small house in Scotland in 2007!.
- Smoking supresses the immune system and reduces the body's ability to heal.
- The toxic effect of smoking on the body inhibits the sense of taste and appetite
Take a breath of fresh air...

To stop smoking with hypnotherapy, you must be dedicated to stopping smoking completely.
