 SO YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING NOW?
Maybe you have decided it’s the right time to stop smoking now?
Or is it because you realise it is becoming a burden on your health?
Maybe you feel you’re ready to stop smoking now?
Could it be that you realise that very soon it will be illegal to smoke in public places here in the U.K.?
Well whatever your reason for wanting to stop smoking there’s never been a better time to stop. The fact you’ve landed on this page is a sure indicator that you are thinking seriously about stopping smoking, either now or in your near future.
Benefits to you from Stopping Smoking
I could drone on about all the negative elements of the smoking habit. That’s silly and unnecessary because you already know all about those; I don’t need to tell you, do I?
I will list a few positive points about how you immediately benefit when you stop smoking. Funny how people know about the damage smoking can cause but are not always aware of the real benefits of stopping smoking, so here goes:
- Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in your blood are generally HALVED within 8 hours of you stopping smoking.
- Your lungs will be cleaner and your breathing will be more efficient and comfortable.
- Your general health should improve. (The single most thing you can do to look after your health is to stop smoking-advice from my doctor, see below)
- You feel better about yourself because you have achieved your goal - you’ve stopped smoking.
- Your health improves and the close people around you benefit, after all what’s life like when you don’t feel healthy and well?
Why is Hypnosis helpful in Smoking Cessation?
Because, it can help you resolve the ‘root cause/s’ of the smoking habit.
Because, it can help you with the emotional aspects of smoking. (How you feel).
Because, it can help you with the psychological elements of your smoking habit, (Your thoughts).
Because, hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation it can help you change your stress response. (What you do or how you behave when you feel stressed).
Because, it works on an unconscious/sub-conscious level, that is, it positively reaches the parts of your mind that other therapies don’t!
Because, hypnosis, (When used by an experienced operator like me) is by far one of the best ways of producing behavioural change. That is, changing, stopping or starting a behaviour.
My Story
I used to smoke around 10 cigarettes a day for about a decade. Quite some time ago I cut that down to one or two a day and generally felt much better as you would expect. I thought all would be well and I could have the odd ‘fag’ now and again. However, I soon had a ‘run’ of bad coughs, one after the other. Over a couple of months I felt they were getting worse and I had started wheezing, something I had never done before.
I visited my doctor who said he thought I might be asthmatic. I refused to believe this, but did realise that all was not well. My doctor offered me an inhaler which I refused; the last thing I wanted was to be walking around relying on an inhaler, after all I’m the man that before these coughs and wheezes could comfortably jog a few miles. Things did develop and I ended up in A and E after not being able to breathe properly. Let me tell you, when you’re laid on a bed in casualty breathing with the help of an oxygen mask, it certainly concentrates your mind! …The verdict- Pneumonia!
I remember that my mind was in turmoil, and it wasn't just because of the situation but about all my future plans; moving to a house in the country, spending more time enjoying my family, etc, etc. I decided there and then I was to be a non-smoker for ever; no more fags for me, if I ever got better from this, things were definitely going to change!
Over the years I get the odd thought of having a ‘fag’ and sometimes I get the feeling a ‘fag’ would be nice, do you know what I do? I see myself on that bed in A and E, fighting to breathe, wondering what life has in store for me and the thought and feelings of wanting to smoke just explode into thin air!
Since I became a non-smoker I decided to use my therapy skills to help other people quit smoking. I became so motivated to use my skills to really make a difference to other people's lives. I know what it feels like to be a smoker, and I have a good idea how you might be feeling right now as a smoker. And because of this, I've spent years developing my own hugely successful stop smoking programme....
My Stop Smoking Programme in Harley Street, London
People stop smoking for all sorts of reasons, sometimes personal experiences like mine, sometimes someone you know is ill and it gets you thinking. Sometimes you just know it’s the right time to stop now!
Let’s face it, you don’t need anymore information, you need a little outside help to increase your motivation to stop smoking.
I’m sure that nicotine patches and gum and tablets all play their part in helping people stop smoking, however, I’m not sure that these products provide all the support you might need to become a non-smoker.
I take a holistic approach to helping you stop smoking. Should you wish to use gum or nicotine patches to back-up your stop smoking programme that’s absolutely fine.
Feelings/emotions motivate our behaviour and that’s ‘one road we go down’ on this programme. Patches and gum do not, in my opinion, tackle the emotional and psychological elements of that smoking habit, but hypnotherapy does!
Should you attend this stop smoking programme, we (that is me and you) will work as a team to help and support you become a non-smoker. We may end up working in an area that does not have a logical link to the smoking habit; you’ll have to trust me on this one.
This stop smoking programme in Harley Street, London, is a two hour session. The programme includes a free one hour follow up session, if you wish, within 3 months of your stop smoking session.
