Nervous About Hypnosis?
It’s common to feel apprehensive about a hypnotherapy session especially if it is your first time, however if you would describe yourself as feeling 'scared' then you may like to read the page About Hypnosis to put your mind at rest. Afterwards if you still feel more than just a little apprehensive, it may be worth considering an alternative method, although it is worth remembering, The New Scientist Magazine which reported hypnosis ‘as the most effective way of giving up smoking’ (October1992 edition).
Whether you are in Brighton, Lewes or the Eastbourne area I CAN HELP YOU TO STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD
Stress and Smoking:
If stress and smoking go hand in hand for you and lead you to reach for that packet, it can be helpful to understand something of how your nervous system works, and nicotine’s ultimately damaging influence upon it. In the course of the One Step Smoking Session I talk a little about this and offer some suggestions for you to get your system back in balance, in order to help you to cope with life’s ups and downs without reliance on cigarettes.
A Personal Testimonial:
Occasionally even now I indulge in the fantasy of a cigarette and a glass of wine, sitting out on a sunny terrace somewhere, but I would never make it become a reality, as I know the benefits of becoming a non-smoker far out way any short-term pleasure I might get from it. I can never kid myself that it’s possible for me to become that mythical of all creatures the ‘occasional smoker’ and I’m fully aware as an ex addict I can have any cigarette I want except that first one!
I thought I'd never give up. In truth I just hadn't been ready. Eventually what had once been a pleasure had become a thorn in my side, like a bad relationship I had grown out of. I had begun to hate smoking, the amount of money I was spending on it, the smell on my clothes and so on. It was an embarrassment, which I often found myself apologising for and which sometimes led me to be very defensive and angry with anyone who criticised it. To top everything off I felt it was seriously contributing to some digestive problems I was having at the time.
I was working at this point as a hypnotherapist treating all sorts of issues- I have to confess smoking amongst them. I felt uncomfortable about this, as I myself was a smoker but justified it by remembering the story of a smoking counsellor who would light up in front of his clients, remarking should eyebrows be raised, “it’s not me who wants to give up!” But I knew in my heart this was a lame excuse.
Seven years ago I finally made the decision to give up and used my knowledge and experience as a hypnotherapist to help me do so. I didn’t make a fuss about it, in fact I didn’t tell anyone until I was sure I had succeded. I included some techniques which made sure I didn’t put on any weight or replace the habit with another unwanted one.
I can honestly say I haven’t looked back since then and have enjoyed helping countless others take the same step as I did, to successfully give up for good. It is without doubt the best thing I have ever done and if you too decide to take the plunge and become a non-smoker, hand on heart, it will be one of the best decisions you've ever made (and your doctor will be really pleased too!)”
