Stopping Smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for your health. When you stop, you give your lungs the chance to repair and you will be able to breathe easier. There are lots of other benefits too – and they start almost immediately.

Hypnotherapy is a very effective way of helping you to quit smoking for good. Anyone who has tried to quit before through sheer willpower knows how tough that route can be. There’s a reason why even shocking imagery on cigarette packets don’t work, our mind simply screens them out and something that may have first appeared shocking, soon becomes wallpaper. By using hypnotherapy to connect you with your subconscious mind, those old cravings can quickly be changed and new healthier ways introduced.   

Addressing your fears about quitting

Hypnotherapy for smoking is not just about helping you to stop. After all, you stop smoking between each cigarette you have. It’s also about helping you to remain a non-smoker. We not only address the process of stopping and keeping you stopped, but also those fears that you may have of what happens when you’ve done so. Some common fears include:

• I’m scared that I will put on weight

• Smoking helps me manage my stress, so what do I do once I quit?

• What do I do with my hands when I’m having a drink?

• I find it difficult to say no, so how do I react when I am offered a cigarette?

• I don’t know if I can cope with the withdrawal symptoms.

Stopping smoking not only improves your physical health but also is proven to boost your mental health and wellbeing. Quitting can improve mood, and help relieve stress, anxiety and depression. If you’re ready to stop smoking for good, contact me for an initial consultation.
