Hypnotherapy - what can be treated? - Stopping smoking

Hypnotherapy has helped many thousands of smokers achieve their goal of quitting smoking. Deciding to become a smoker is not a decision that most people take logically. It is an emotional decision taken at a subconscious level. Therefore, any decision to stop needs to be taken at that same level. Quite simply, this is why hypnosis is such a successful way to give up smoking cigarettes. Many people considering stopping smoking feel that their true choice is being taken away from them. The secret of hypnotherapy is that it gets people to use their imagination to create a non-smoking future. This often feels very positive and empowering.

To investigate the most effective method of stopping smoking, the University of Iowa in the US carried out a meta-analysis, using the results of more than 600 studies, with a total of nearly 72,000 people. The results included 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, and were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. They clearly showed that hypnosis was three times more effective than nicotine replacement therapy.

How many sessions?

You only need 2 to 3 sessions.

1st session: This is an intake and motivation test directed at exploring your smoking behaviour and psychological and emotional attachment to smoking.

2nd session: Based on the findings of the first session you then undergo hypnosis in the second session. The session is recorded and you then have to listen to the recording every day for a period of three weeks.

The results are extrenely impressive. In the last 2 years I have not had to treat a client for the third session. Every client has stopped during the 3 weeks listening to the recording.

3rd session: Should you still be smoking after the three weeks you then come back for the third session in which we explore what has blocked you from reaching your goal.

Costs

The costs per session are 110 euros including the recorded session on CD.
