Have you been waiting for the right time to stop smoking? Then there is some good news for you to help you quick smoking. If you stop smoking now, smoking damage to your body will begin healing within 20 minutes.* Are you afraid that quitting right now may be too stressful with so much going on in your life? When is there not? If you are really ready to quit smoking, we can make it easy to stop smoking for good. We offer the best way to quit smoking so you can live your most healthful life possible.
At District Hypnosis, we recognize that you have already been hypnotized – into becoming a smoker. Your smoking habit is a subconscious behavior rooted in the erroneous belief that smoking brings pleasure. Nicotine is a stimulant, yet you think it’s relaxing. (The truth is, the cigarette does not help relieve stress, and it only relieves the stress caused by the nicotine craving.) People ask how to quit smoking and are often discouraged by what they hear. You’ve been convinced that quitting has to be a miserable ordeal with suffering, agitation, overwhelming cravings and emotional turmoil.
Smoking cessation doesn’t have to be. We will work with you to quit smoking through hypnosis and change these perceptions and prove it through your own success! Just as the power of your own mind programmed you into becoming a smoker, it has the power to re-boot your mindset back to non-smoker. Smoking cessation through hypnosis has worked for countless people, and it could work for you too.
Do you remember your first cigarette? Did it really taste good? Seriously. Did you really relax as you felt it fill up your lungs? Or were you just trying not to choke on it? And what about now? Do you ever smoke because you “need” a cigarette? Do you really think of yourself as an “addict”?
This is what makes our program different. We don’t just wean you from nicotine to the questionable status of ex-smoker – always thinking like a smoker and susceptible to a relapse. Our approach is to “de-hypnotize” your mind so you can become the comfortable non-smoker you started out to be! Your natural self. Free from nicotine dependence! Through hypnosis for smoking, your desire for a smoke vanished! You lay back in a comfortable recliner, relax your mind, take back control and emerge as a liberated clear-headed non-smoker!
Our Stop Smoking programs are custom designed and include the following:
- Private one-on-one hypnosis sessions
- Hand-outs with tips and information to help you stay on track.
- Hypnosis CD’s to take home and use between sessions for reinforcement
- Our “Stay With You” Commitment*
Whether this is your first time trying to quit, or even if you have tried to quit before, (the average smoker tries to quit 7 to 9 times in their life) you will become a non-smoker if you follow our stop smoking through program. Our hypnosis programs for smoking are private and individualized according to your specific needs. Unlike group hypnosis that only gives generic suggestions to stop smoking, we address your personal smoking issues, habits and unconscious behaviors to clear away the triggers that have you reaching for a cigarette. We really feel this is the best way to quit smoking for many people.
Substituting positive responses, the reflex to smoke disappears. Changing your beliefs about cigarettes, they become unattractive and giving suggestions to keep you from “trying your first cigarette” helps you remain a non-smoker for life. For less than half of what you would spend on your cigarettes, you can become a non-smoker! And with the money you save, you can wave goodbye to them as you breathe fresh air on the smoke-free vacation of your dreams!
