Ready to stop smoking? Why go at it alone?
 

Why People Don't Stop Smoking

Most people know the smoking facts:  that by stopping smoking they will save several thousand dollars a year.  Most believe that stopping smoking could add years to their lives.  Most people who know the effects of smoking would agree that if they quit smoking right now, they could be saving their health—before it’s too late.

So why do people continue to smoke?  This stop smoking program was initially developed with 20 years of combined experience in dealing with the mind, both in the USA and in the UK, and those of us who use it have found the answer to be the same all over the world.  It all comes down to one thing…Fear.

  • Fear that you’ll have to give up the only crutch or pleasure that makes life satisfying
  • Fear that you won’t be able to enjoy life or handle stress
  • Fear that you will put on lots of weight
  • Fear that you’ll have to go through an awful trauma to get free
  • Fear that you’ll never ever get free of the craving

All these fears are just examples of one overriding fear.  The one simple reason that you have not quit smoking is that you fear that it is going to be too painful and difficult, even impossible.

Quitting Smoking May Be Easier Than You Expected

When you think about not smoking anymore, do you expect to feel deprived?

Like you’ve made a sacrifice?

Are you worried or pained by even the thought?

That’s the beauty of hypnotherapy. Once you are the nonsmoker you want to be, you’ll have a huge sense of relief.  You will have at last achieved what most smokers long to achieve: a new freedom and sense of relief.

How would you like a stop smoking program that doesn’t force you to experience feelings of deprivation or great sacrifice?  Doesn’t require you to use stop smoking aids like nicotine gum or patches?  Or inhalers or nasal sprays?  Or lasers?  That certainly doesn’t ask you to purchase useless stop smoking aids or other unnatural substitutes?

In fact, this program involves relaxation. And the help of your own subconscious mind. 

Imagine how it would feel if the part of you that has been keeping you smoking “switched teams,” and helped you stop smoking to become the nonsmoker you want to be.  (Imagine the most powerful part of your mind helping you do what you want to do!)

With hypnosis, you just sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax.  To discuss your personal situation, call (312) 640-1584.

A Special Program With A Special Offer

We have so much confidence in our methods that after years in practice we are among the only hypnotists who offer this:  if you start smoking again, whether it is two days, or two months, or later, all you have to do is give us a call and we’ll get you back in at no extra charge.  You may be wondering how we can offer these free back-up sessions…

The Majority Of Clients Stop In One Appointment

The reason we can offer our no-extra-charge promise is because we have a high success rate.  Most quit smoking in one session, and the rest usually stop after one free back-up session.  Legally we can’t promise that you’ll do the same.  But we can say that almost everyone we see is surprised at how quickly and easily they respond. They also love the bonus:  a feeling of deep relaxation!

Our Unique Approach

Since the American Medical Association (AMA) and the British Medical Association (BMA) approved the use of clinical hypnosis in the 1950’s, thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives.  Of course, there are varying degrees of success with hypnosis because much depends upon the skill, experience, and general competence of the individual hypnotherapist, the willingness of the participant as well as the techniques being used.

The beauty of our unique approach is that we use the best of traditional hypnotherapy techniques, and combine them with the new science of neurolinguistics (NLP), which takes the hypnosis to an even greater level of effectiveness.

We begin by using an approach that has already worked for many smokers worldwide, and then we go a step further:  we personalize it to your individual smoking habit (smoking cigarettes, pipe, weed—and even chewing tobacco!) lifestyle situations, and work environment.  And, of course, situations that triggered your smoking in the past. 

So the approach we use with you may not be identical to what we use for your best friend.

One of the reasons some clients tell us it doesn’t feel painful or frustrating to stop smoking with our method is this:  we transfer the pleasure derived from smoking to a healthier habit of your choice (e.g. exercise, drinking more water, relaxation). 

This is the reason why, with us, you shouldn’t expect to gain lots of unwanted weight or experience other problems you’ve associated with smoking cessation – our effects are an increase in pride, savings, and freedom.  If this surprises you, or makes you curious, call (312) 640-1584.

Nothing To Fear, Everything to Gain

Hypnosis may be as old as mankind.  The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications.  Today the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education.

Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professional hypnosis session.  We would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How does hypnosis work?

Our minds work on two levels – the conscious and the subconscious.  We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind.  The subconscious mind controls our habits.  In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the subconscious mind.  This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Visit our Articles section and you’ll find articles on quitting smoking, on hypnosis, and on hypnosis for quitting smoking.

Will hypnosis work for me? 

Generally speaking, everyone is “hypnotizable” (that is, among people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders).  Therefore, most can achieve successful results using hypnosis, if they are willing, and follow the directions given.

In our “phone appointment,” before you even come to see us, we will ask you if you are willing to stop smoking now.  Your honest answer is one way for you to gauge for yourself the likelihood of your success with hypnotherapy.

How will I know if I am hypnotized?

Most people can’t tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking state.  Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness.  One thing that people tell us they do notice is an almost-inexplicable change in their daily behaviors, particularly relating to the habit they chose to work on, such as smoking.

How safe is hypnosis? 

You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time.  Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in a state of hypnosis.  You can’t be made to do something against your will.  Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.  Did you know they have been using hypnosis at the Mayo Clinic for years?

However, if you have reason to believe that you suffer from a medical condition that could make hypnosis inadvisable, ask your doctor.

How could hypnosis help me kick the smoking habit? 

Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the subconscious mind.  Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the subconscious, you can see how this method makes sense.  That’s why most people naturally transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker.  For many of our clients, it only takes one session, ideal for people who are serious about quitting and don’t want to spend time on a long stop smoking program.
