With the rising costs of cigarettes and health concerns surrounding tobacco use, many people are looking for the easiest and best ways to stop smoking.
Smoking is recognised by the medical profession as being as addictive as heroin, or even more. This physical addiction is real, not just a habit. If you woke up tomorrow and could not remember anything about your life until now you would still feel the negative effects of the nicotine addiction from smoking.
There are many different types of smoking cessation products available including:
NHS Services (inc. Helpline)
Nicotine Replacement Products
Cessation drug therapy
“Quit” Tools
There is no quick fix or easy answer to stopping smoking. We, however, can offer an alternative to the above products, some or all of which you may have experienced.
This is through hypnotherapy – a scientifically measured and proven method of breaking the cycle of habits and addictions.
Hypnosis is, through concentrated relaxation, your ability to convince yourself that something is true. When you believe something, that belief is reflected in your thoughts, feelings and actions. So, once you use hypnosis to convince yourself of a new belief, then it becomes a habit to think and behave that way.
During hypnotherapy you move from your conscious to your subconscious mind, that doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination. So if you can imagine yourself as a non-smoker, your subconscious mind will accept that as a reality.
In these sessions we will help you break the habit of smoking by breaking the connections, whether they are emotional such as stress or boredom, or physical such as after a meal or with alcohol. This allows you to feel in control of the process and strengthen your resolve.
