Are you struggling to quit smoking?

If you are hypnosis could be the answer. Did you know that many smokers have been helped to quit with a single session of hypnotherapy?

This month at C1 the focus is on stopping smoking. As the resident Hypnotherapist I have worked with numerous clients who wanted to stop smoking, many of whom had tried previously and failed or who had struggled enormously when they attempted to kick the habit using other means.

Without an understanding of how hypnosis works and what goes on in the brain when we are "addicted" to something, it can be very difficult to imagine that a two hour session can rid you of a potentially long standing habit. However, in reality the process is relatively simple and effective. Many people have given up smoking with ease, for example some people stop smoking with no problem at all when they fall pregnant or get ill. These are the ones we don't tend to hear about but understanding how they are able to do this is key to the process used in hypnotherapy.

Mindset plays a big part in our experience of addictions and giving them up. Most of us can relate to truly deciding to do something like get fit or lose weight and experiencing how much easier it is to then do this once we have "made up our mind". This use of mindset and powerful suggestion therapy makes for a potent weapon in the battle against the cigarette.

To stop smoking a single two hour session is required.
