The Smoking Challenge Hypnotherapy Works and It Lasts

For most people, the absolute worst way to attempt to deal with a smoking habit is with willpower. Willpower is usually neither consistent nor effective. Like moods and emotions, our willpower fluctuates. One day it is strong but willpower tends to fade away or become yanked away with the difficulties of daily life.

There are countless methods to try to stop smoking. Smoking programs, substitute products, pills, chewing gums, self-help tapes and books, etc. They often try to build up the personal power to resist or overcome the addiction.

Hypnotherapy works on a different principle. It does not work at achieving the willpower or strength to resist. Instead, its goal is to eliminate the desire on the conscious and sub-conscious levels.

  • IF YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING AND TAKE BACK YOUR FREEDOM AND POWER, COME TO MY STOP SMOKING SESSION (one-on-one). The First Session is 2 hours and you return 3 or 4 days later for a second session where we "Lock it in." 

Reasons for Smoking

Two principle reasons we start to smoke or use tobacco are Identifying with a people in your life who are smoking or Replacement smoking to fill a need for comfort. It can begin very innocently and most often, an unpleasant reaction to it is experienced at first but the habit begins and then the habit turns into a major drug addiction.

In addition to the addiction to nicotine, the issue is compounded by the ritual and sensual gratification gained from smoking -- Enjoying the touch or feel of the cigarette; lighting it and taking the first inhalation; seeing the flame of a lighter or the smoke rising; the smell of the burning tobacco; and, the gratification of lifting and bringing the cigarette to the mouth. The typical smoker lifts their hand to their mouth 300 times in the act of smoking one pack of cigarettes. Just try lifting your hand to your mouth 300 times in one sitting and see what I mean by the "ritual" of smoking.

The Nature of Smoking

Since smoking is both physical and mental, success in a stop-smoking effort must change not only the mental attitude, but also the physical reaction. In most cases, becoming a non-smoker is achieved in one to three individual sessions. Typically it takes only one session to actually stop and one or two more to reinforce the new behavior.

Although the negative effects of tobacco on your body does take time to clear, the felt dependency has little to do with the craving because the nicotine actually level your body in 3 or 4 days. It turns out that the real culprit is the imagined comfort found in the "ritual of smoking."

The Hypnotherapy Smoking Program involves an Intake on your History of Smoking; checking for psychological reversal using EFT and the hypnosis experience where you will then be taken into a relaxed state of focus for a 45-minute hypnotherapy session. At the end of the session, you are given a 30-minute CD recording that you listen to each day for 30 days.  This relaxes you and reinforces everything we have done.  The second session is scheduled three to four days later for reinforcement.

Smoking is a lethal drug addiction. Individualized hypnotherapy sessions have been very successful in dealing with smoking as well as other addictions. Over time even the thought of smoking will fade and disappear.

Hi Jane,  Well as I promised I would share how hypnosis changed my life.  I was hypnotizes for smoking, never in my wildest dreams did I really know or believe I could ever stop smoking but I have and have not had a cigarette since that day.  Being a non-smoker has changed so many things in life, I am a lot more health conscious, my skin is clearing, no more chest pains from smoking and the best news of all was to hear I had a normal mammogram.  I used to have a nagging pain in my shoulder, but after the hypnosis I have not had the pain, I don’t know if this is a result of less tension, or just being able to be totally relaxed, whatever it is it is a good side effect of hypnosis.  I would recommend hypnosis to anyone as a matter of fact I have referred people who are serious and usually desperate.  All I can say is try it, it Works.  It has been the most well spent money I have ever spent and I feel great.  Thanks again Jane for everything you inspired and suggested.  R.P.
