Hypnosis for Quitting Smoking
Quitting smoking is hard. Hypnosis for quitting smoking is easy, they say. Well is it? Is it really?
Does it work? How does it work? How do I know it’s going to work on Me? Do I have to pay if I can’t be hypnotised? How will I know I’m hypnotised? Should I be scared? .. I’m scared.
As a clinical Hypnotherapist with a nursing background, I do not work in absolutes. You do need to play your part in committing to quit smoking and for a reasonable number it will take more than 1 session.
It will cost you at least as much as your weekly smoking habit, after all we need to make sure you can’t afford to buy them the next week (just kidding).. but seriously, clinical Hypnotherapy is a skill and if you’ve done your research right you will find a well respected clinical Hypnotherapist to help you quit smokes.
Clinical Hypnotherapists are all invested in ensuring you quit smokes for good. The addiction is deadly and environmental exposures alongside nicotine addiction increase the complications of diseases such as Mesothelioma and lung cancers. Links to these can be found on The Mesothelioma Center, a web resource that provides information about asbestos-related cancers.
We recently published an educational page about smoking, asbestos, and lung cancer that details how they affect health:
and we get an opportunity to help you quit that unwanted addiction but you need to take our advice literally. If we want to know if you’ve had a smoke after the session then tell us and if we want you to clear out the smoking paraphernalia before your session or move your ‘smoking chair’ then do it.
If any suggestions given prior to your appointment aren’t met its unlikely that your hypnotherapist will commence the session as these are all red flags for us. We need to know that you’ve knocked over as many skittles as possible before arriving on quit smoking day and not just arrived with your half a pack of 40’s in the car - just in case.
Hypnosis is divisive. It’s either one of those subjects that you’re either curious about or you’ll run a mile if it’s brought up in the tearoom.. yeah?
