Quit smoking for good!

We all know about the harmful effects of smoking so why do we find it so difficult to give up? Nicotine is an addictive substance but after a few days it leaves your system and most smokers agree that quitting smoking for a few days is difficult but very achievable. The answer lies in your subconsicous, deep down inside yourself you feel that you depriving yourself of some sort of benefit by giving up. The reasons are usually fear based such as not being able to handle stress, feeling excluded from social situations, putting on weight and many other fears that keep people in the grip of their addiction. Because the reasons for maintaining a smoking habit are psychological, hypnotherapy is found to be the most effective method of quitting smoking because it works with the unconscious mind using positive affirmations and suggestions which change our emotional and behavioural responses.

Hypnotherapy is an excllent method of quitting if you are committed to becoming a non-smoker and want to enjoy the positive outcomes such as good health, fitness, freedom, energy and enjoy more disposable income. Hypnotherapy continues to enjoy a high success rate with smoking cessation being one of the most common reasons why people consult hypnotherapists. How to quit If you are serious about quitting, ask yourself a question ' how would you feel if you woke up tommorow and were a non-smoker?' Write down the ways in which this would benefit you. Some of the benefits may include having more energy, disposable income, better health and freedom.

If you feel ready to quit, the quit smoking programme will involve a free consultation, followed by 2 sessions of smoking cessation using tried and tested highly successful hypnotherapy and NLP techniques . You will also be given a CD to help you so that you can continue to reinforce the suggestions in your own time.For a further information on how the Quit Smoking Programme can help you call Pam on 01484 328 622.

Hypnosis is the best way to stop smoking!

Research director for The National Council for Hypnotherapy, Josephine Teague recently posted the following piece of research evidence. Research on the effectiveness of hypnosis for quitting smoking To find the most effective method to stop smoking Frank Schmidt and research student Chockalingham Viswesvaran from the university of Iowa used a meta-analysis, utilising the results of more than 600 studies totalling nearly 72,000 people.The results, which were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology and included 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, clearly showed that hypnosis, to use the same terminology as the quit counsellor, was three times more effective than NRT.
