Stop Smoking Page
It is very important to have one factor in place before visiting a therapist. You must want to stop smoking for reasons that are important to you - If someone else is pressing you to stop but you don't want to, then you might remain a smoker until you change your mind.
In essence, you must have decided to stop smoking.
Hypnotherapy and EFT has helped people stop smoking from all walks of life. Pipe smokers, occasional cigar smokers, from 1 cigarette a day to 80 a day smokers ranging in age from 16 years to 85 years young. No matter what your circumstances are, if you really want to stop, you can.
Maybe you are one of the 70% of smokers who want to quit. Perhaps you're not quite sure if you are ready to quit smoking but you'd like to consider the possibility. Whether you want to quit altogether, ( the best way to do it !) or just cut down, I can help you.
Hypnotherapy and EFT can help you stay positive and focused while you give up smoking , rather than feeling deprived and resentful. . If you're ready to quit, and you'd like to try either therapy, or both, contact me now.
Research
The National Council for Hypnotherapy (USA) recently circulated information about new research into the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a way of stopping smoking.
To investigate the most effective method of stopping smoking, the University of Iowa's Frank Schmidt along with research student Chockalingham Viswesvaran carried out a meta-analysis, using the results of more than 600 studies, with a total of nearly 72,000 people. The results included 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, and were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. They clearly showed that hypnosis was three times more effective than nicotine replacement therapy.
