SMOKING CESSATION: CIGARETTES, CIGARS & PIPES
QUIT: VAPING & JUULING

Hypnosis has the highest success rate out of all quit smoking methods available. It addresses both the physiological AND psychological aspects of the habit. Hypnosis will help erase cravings and prevent weight gain.

Hypnosis has advantages over other quit-smoking options. There are no negative side effects (such as those with Chantix ). Also: Laser treatments for smoking cessation are not approved by the FDA, nor do they address any of the psychological aspects of the habit and they can not address or prevent weight gain. Studies also show poor results for the nicotine gum & patch (Click on preceding blue links if interested in reading related articles).

Power Hypnosis offers the personal human touch that a machine or chemical can not.

I generally see clients 2-3 times to quit smoking. Usually 2 sessions. The vast majority of my clients stop smoking after one session and return for a second session a week later to insure long term results, prevent weight gain and remove craving/thinking about the old habit. Others considerably cut back the amount they smoke after their first visit and cut down further in their next session/s until we get to zero.

Extensive scientific studies and my over 15 years in practice show that a follow-up visit 7 days after the initial appointment significantly increases long term success from 50% to 90% and PREVENTS RELAPSES.

Every individual has their own special set of circumstances as well as their own rate of treatment and success. My over-all success rate for smoking cessation is near 95%.

While the expense involved with 2-3 sessions is not insignificant it is minor when compared to the annual cost of smoking ($3600-$4500 a year for one pack a day), health care costs and physical suffering that may arise if the addiction is not addressed.

Hypnosis may be used successfully in conjunction with other stop-smoking methods if the client wishes.

My fees are the same for smoking cessation as they are for all the other applications for hypnosis ($225 for the 1st session including the recording of your hypnosis session and $205 for any other session including the recording of your hypnosis session).

DURING OUR INITIAL PHONE CONVERSATION:
We go over you general smoking history; how long; how much.

PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT:
A support system helps reinforce your resolve. It helps to select a person you can check in with every day and tell them about your progress. Clean out and put away ashtrays at home in and in your car. Air out your home or your room, and car. And bring me what cigarettes you have remaining and even the lighter you use. This is ceremonial and important as you start the process of letting go.

DURING OUR APPOINTMENT:
We discuss and address your smoking triggers, stressors, rituals and routines. You are taught a self-hypnosis exercise you can use in the future if you get a desire or craving to smoke. We go into our hypnosis session which will focus on smoking cessation as well as addressing any triggers and stressors and then reprogramming how you deal with these in the future. So that instead of lighting up you will find yourself doing something else and be better equipped to relieve your stress/boredom/anxiety.

Many clients express concern about gaining weight after quitting cigarettes. We approach this issue in your session/s by discussing implementing realistic exercise and eating habits. It is also addressed directly in you hypnosis so that you do not replace smoking with over-eating.

HYPNOSIS RECORDING:
I offer a professional quality recording of the hypnosis portion of your visit to reinforce our session after you leave my office that you listen to at night and when needed. This is delivered as an MP3 file via email.

FOLLOW-UP SESSION/S:
When you return we assess your progress. And review how you are handling previous triggers and stressors. If you’re not at zero smokes we get you to zero and if you’re at zero we work on eliminating cravings and making sure you don’t start up in the future. If needed, we address diet and exercise. These elements are then all worked into the hypnosis itself. We then review the need for further treatment.

There is much medical research supporting the fact that hypnosis is the most effective method to overcome smoking but this not a guarantee.
