Stop Smoking Naturally and Easily
Stopping smoking need not be difficult or painful. Hypnotherapy can help most people stop often with just one session. Hypnosis can help by removing the craving to smoke, so that stopping smoking is not seen as a sacrifice or a painful process.
We cater for the person who really wants to give up smoking. If you really want to stop but have perhaps, previously have had a difficult experience we can help you to feel confident and relaxed about stopping.
We also help people who don't feel fully committed to build their confidence and motivation before stopping.
Common Questions and Concerns:
Q. Will I put on weight?
A. No, the treatment will be structured to ensure that you don't substitute food or anything else for cigarettes.
Q. Will I need strong willpower?
A. No. Willpower is very useful for short term change, but actually can be counterproductive when trying to change a long standing habit. This is because in order to know what you are not going to do (i.e. smoke) you have to think about it! Constant awareness of 'trying' not to smoke makes it almost inevitable that people will give in to the old impulse.
Q. Will I be able to mix with my friends who still smoke?
A. Yes. the treatment will be structured so that you will be able to remain a happy non-smoker whether your working or socialising with others who still smoke.
Q. What happens if I become grumpy or irritable?
A. This is unlikely as the treatment removes the desire to smoke. However if you did notice this you can come back for a free top up session to help overcome this problem.
Q. Should I use nicotine patches?
A. No. The nicotine will be completely gone from your body in around forty eight hours, so why re-introduce this highly toxic substance back into your body?
Q. What's the success rate like?
A. There is a lot of evidence to support the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy in this area (see below). It is difficult to quote reliable statistics unless as part of properly researched trial, and some would say potentially misleading. However at South Cotswolds Hypnotherapy we are confident of being effective. If we don't believe this method will work for you we will tell you at the outset and there will be no charge. If you need support for any reason you can come back for free top up sessions.
Research About Hypnotherapy and Smoking
Below is a snapshot of results from research conducted since the early 90's:
- Single Session of Hypnotherapy 60%
- Exercise and Breathing Therapy 29%
- Acupuncture 24%
- Nicotine Gum 10%
- Will Power alone 6%
- Nicotine Patches plus seeing a counsellor 20%
- Aversion Therapy 25%
- Suggestion Hypnosis (Cassette Tapes) 30%
The respected scientific publication ‘New Scientist’, reporting on research carried out on over 70,000 people, showed hypnosis to be the most effective way to give up the smoking habit. Getting help to stop smoking with hypnotherapy / hypnosis, was found to be 300% as successful as nicotine replacement therapy, and 500% as successful as just will power alone.
