When people come to see me to stop smoking I suggest that they carry on smoking until the urge to do it goes away. The only stipulation I make, is that they carry on using the personalised CD I produce every day.  By becoming a more relaxed person and the positive affirmations I suggest to their sub conscious mind, the old behaviour starts to drop off.  By the end of the five sessions you may have reduced your smoking fifty percent and will then go onto completely eradicate the old behaviour. 　　　　

 

Some people are lucky to stop smoking in one session, however if you stop smoking too quickly, it can result in you selecting a new dysfunctional behaviour to carry out.  For example you make become nervous in another way, put on excessive weight, substituting comfort eating for smoking or start to drink excessively.  Or wait until the next time you go through turmoil in your life and start smoking again.

I have never smoked myself, however used to drink above the government recommended guidelines.  During the course of my hypnotherapy treatment my drinking reduced fifty percent and gradually reduced until I became tea total over the next seventeen years.   I feel as good whether I drink or not, however it is a personal choice on my part.
