Addictions-Smoking
The most common social ill, as perceived by the overwhelming majority, is considered both distasteful and intrusive. It's not hard to figure out the practice: smoking. The habit not only affects those addicted to nicotine, it also has an impact on those who live, work or play within close proximity to them.
When smokers want to quit, it's not uncommon for them to seek the easiest form of therapy; a form of treatment that offers the least resistance. They turn to hypnosis often as a last resort. They first try nicotine patches, gum, acupressure and acupuncture, perhaps achieving only temporary success at best. The key reason for this is because such methods use only half our mental faculties - the conscious mind.
Attempting to give up smoking using only the conscious mind is very much like doing a job with only half the workforce present. To be completely successful in quitting smoking the "whole mind" approach is recommended. By resolving any conflicts between both the conscious and unconscious minds, and getting them to agree to accepting the challenge of a task, you can easily achieve resolution through hypnosis.
Hypnosis uses a tool to transport an image, idea or concept into the subconscious mind. The exciting reality is that for behavioural change, only a light state of hypnosis needs to be achieved, to effectively alter one's thoughts and desires regarding smoking. This is achieved by coupling physical relaxation with beta conscious activity (imagery), integrating the correct suggestions at the correct time. In this way, the effects of a single hypnosis session have been proven to ensure the cessation of smoking for a lifetime.
More importantly is the desire to avoid the same environmental factors that typically entice the return of any form of habit. A hypnotherapist can provide the necessary treatment, but the client must want to make the change from within - and outside - themselves. In tandem, success is then assured.
Testimonial
I am feeling great, from the first session I became more relaxed every time and more aware of myself and my feelings.
During the whole course, I enjoyed coming to the session to experience the new feeling. The whole experience about hypnosis is way above of what I expected.

“Dear therapist, thank you very much, I am surprised how much I dislike cigarette since the 4th session. Even though I only felt relax after each session but the change in me is enormous. There is more confidence in pursuing what I want. My friends are surprised and glad for me with the changes. Thank you.”

“I enjoyed the freedom each session gave me to allow myself time to address my issues. Mine was a great therapist, allowing me to explore my “findings” at the beginning of each session and then tailoring the treatment to my needs. I’m stunned at just how easy it is to change a habit if you allow yourself to do so and hypnosis gave me the courage to break a cycle, in a gentle way. It was my decision with my therapist’s guidance.”

“Having been both a bit skeptical and curious about use of hypnotherapy, I decided to give it a try after having received recommendations from friends. My therapist was able to give me both relaxation and security needed for me to truly get the insight and determination needed for really going through with smoking cessation. Two weeks without smoke I feel like a new man. Could not have done without support from my therapist.”
