One of the more widely known uses of hypnosis is helping people to stop smoking. In this, I have adapted with the times, and made my treatments compatible for vape users as well, combining existing, long-proven techniques with modern science and a holistic approach to provide you with the solution you need in six sessions or less.
Why Does It Take Six Sessions?
Most hypnotherapists advertise a one session service, where “After two hours, you’ll never want to smoke again.” When looking at studies taken over recent years, these single sessions have an 86% success rate, which is wonderful. Unfortunately, six months after treatment, that success rate drops to 30%.
As a healthcare professional, I am committed to giving my clients the best possible chance for long-term change. Some people will respond really well to a single session, and not need any further treatment. Others may need a different approach because of personal circumstances or history.
All of my clients are unique individuals, so their treatments should reflect that reality.
How Does It Actually Work?
I take methodical approach to smoking/vaping addiction that addresses the cause of the compulsion, removes it, and replaces it with something preferable. Typically treatment takes the following steps:
- Education on the neuroscience of how addiction functions in the brain.
- Resolving any negative experiences that contributed to your decision to start, or continue, to smoke/vape
- Treating any internal conflict, so you can stop smoking with either minimal or zero withdrawal symptoms/nerves.
- Treating the subconscious compulsion to engage in the habit, after which you will no longer find yourself ‘accidentally’ smoking because you were ‘on autopilot’.
- Identifying better habits that you may have wanted to develop all along, and making them feel so compelling that you can’t help but engage in them.
