Let’s face it, a lot of people are afraid of spending money, and a lot of people want to know that they are going to get an effective safe product when they do decide that it is time to spend their money.

Smoking cessation programs are no exception. There are all kinds of methods, methods such as smoking cessation medication, hypnosis therapy, and smoking cessation support programs on the market; some of them are backed by claims of 100% guarantee that you will become a non-smoker easily and effortlessly. I have had friends who swear that the nicotine patch, allowed them to stop smoking, I have had friends who swear that keeping nicotine gum on them during their quit smoking efforts was what caused them to quit smoking. As a smoking cessation therapist, chemical dependency counselor and clinical hypnotherapist all of my clients have assured me that it was the smoking cessation program that caused them to quit smoking.

I am here to tell you that that thing that made them quit smoking was their own decision to be a non-smoker. If quitting smoker was easy and effortless, then no one would still be smoking. It is expensive, it is extremely bad for your health, it is social unacceptable in many circles, it smells bad, and oh yeah did I mention that it is extremely expensive. Now a day’s most cigarettes cost about $8.00 per pack, and when you smoke a pack a day, that averages out to $248.00 per month.

Stop Smoking!!! How many times have you asked yourself why this is so hard to do?

Let’s not kid ourselves; nicotine addiction is one of the hardest habits to stop. I have clients who come to me and hope that they can simply be put to sleep and quit smoking immediately, and while I have  seen people who are able to make the decision to quit smoking, lay their cigarettes down, and never pick them up again, I have also seen people who have tried over and over again, without success. They have tried the patches, they have tried the gum, they have tried support groups for nicotine addiction, and they have tried the quick fix one session hypnosis sessions where they are guaranteed to never smoke again, BUT let’s get serious for a moment. If everyone could simply stop smoking with one try, why are there are so many people still struggling.

One of the biggest reasons that people continue to smoke is because they feel that it is a great way of stress relief. What if you could find another way to deal with stress? What if you could find a way that is non-toxic, inexpensive, healthy, and actually promotes health and vitality instead of taking it away from you. According to the American Medical Society learning Hypnosis can, and does just that.

I have been teaching hypnosis and chemical dependency counselor techniques for a little over twenty years, http://dlscottpersonalenergymastery.com/foundations-smoking-cessation-program/ and I have to tell you that you can stop smoking, you can stop your nicotine addiction, and the best, easiest way of doing this is by combining mindfulness to curb the cravings, a simple detoxification program to help physically remove the chemicals and nicotine from your system, Hypnosis and specific Self Hypnosis techniques to further help deal with cravings and stress relief, and basic cognitive behavioral tools to help deal with the habit itself.

Quitting Smoking can only be accomplished if you are ready to participate in your own recovery process. By utilizing the various components of Foundations Hypnosis Seattle listed above, you can completely and totally eliminate nicotine from your life forever. Not only that but you can increase your health, and vitality. Did you know that after only 20 minutes of not smoking, blood pressure drops to normal, and your pulse rate drops to normal.  Within 24 hours your chance of heart attack decreases, and within 48 hours nerve endings start re-growing.

There is another benefit that is very important in today’s economy. Cigarettes sell for about $8.00 a pack. If you smoke a pack a day, then you are spending $240.00 per month.  Just think of the money you will save within just a few days, weeks, or months. I charge $225.00 for the entire smoking program, that includes all four sessions, and a guarentee follow up session if that is what is needed. This price is less than the cost of one month’s worth of  a pack a day habit.

If you are ready to quit smoking, if you are ready to eliminate nicotine addiction from your life forever then don’t delay, call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Everett at (206) 417-4900 today. http://dlscottpersonalenergymastery.com/foundations-smoking-cessation-program/

Teenager Counseling and Smoking Cessation Programs

DLScott CH.t.  / CDP / AASD

        I have noticed a trend of late in the rate of teen smoking and smoking cessation for teens.   In my long career as both a chemical dependency counselor and hypnotherapist, in the Seattle ~ Everett area, I have found myself working with people of all ages and types, and what I have discovered is that success or failure has little to do with age.  It all boils down to beliefs, and agreements that we have adopted and that we have attached emotional meaning to.

            I have worked with several programs for teens. In terms of smoking cessation for teens,  there has always been one basic criterion in common, they had decided to quit smoking and were ready to utilize the tools presented to them in Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Everett smoking cessation program.  (During the years I have found this to be true whether I was working in private practice or working through a Mental Health agency such as a national smoking cessation program through a medical cooperative).  

            I recall one client who was so determined to quit smoking that he was able to quit a week ahead of schedule because he applied the tools and skills so passionately and daily, that it would have been hard not to imagine him being able to quit smoking before his chosen quit date.

            Generally the success of hypnosis as a smoking cessation program is the highest of any of the smoking cessation tools, and that includes teen smoking, programs for teens, and any other teen counseling programs.

The statistics show that success rates run from 92% to 98%, and when you compare that to other smoking cessation programs, nicotine patches, cold turkey, cognitive behavioral  counseling programs all at between 7% to 27%, it shows how powerful and valuable this tool actually is.

When it comes to quit smoking success stories, just listen to what a couple of Foundations Hypnosis clients have said:

“After nearly 30 years of smoking I was able to quit with the help of Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle ~ Everett, technique’s developed by DL Scott.
Even though I had tried everything I could find in attempts to quit, it was only with DL Scott’s guidance and support that I was finally free.
I have not smoked, nor wanted to, in over 12 years.

“Mykal Amare

“I feel great about this program. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to quit. I find the tools given, such as the CD, the self hypnosis training, the step down process, have all made this an easy and enjoyable experience for me.”

T. Weaver

“I was able to quit so easily and comfortably, that I have recommended it to both family and friends. It was the best money that I ever spent.”

Hypnosis is the most effective and powerful method to quit smoking. The success rate for those attempting to stop smoking on their own is only 7%, while it’s only 24% for behavioral therapy programs, and still only 27% for the popular nicotine replacement products. The success rate to stop smoking with Hypnosis is 92%.

When you decide that you are ready to stop spending up to $250.00 a month on your nicotine habit, and you are sick and tired of smelly clothes, smelly breath, yellow teeth, and fingers, then it is time to finally do something about this life stealing and health damaging habit / addiction.

I am a former cigarette smoker so I know how hard it is to kick this vicious and enslaving habit. I used to smoke two packs a day and have not had a craving to smoke for twenty six years. I’ve had many clients who report how easy it is to quit smoking using Hypnosis after trying unsuccessfully for years using other methods.

Hypnosis not only allows you to let go of the cravings for nicotine, but it also alleviates the stress and anxiety that often triggers you to fall back into the addiction that you are trying so desperately to get rid of.

I have also been in the counseling field for over twenty years, licensed in chemical addiction, trained and certified in the use of hypnosis, and I obtained my degree in the social and human fields. 

For less than the cost of one month’s worth of smoking you can give yourself the gift of health, vibrant life, and vitality.

Confession of a former Nicotine Addict, I use to smoke close to two packs of cigarettes per day. I had quit on two different occasions, and had earned the health condition known as Chronic Bronchitis. My breath, clothes, hair, house, and car, smelled like an overflowing ashtray, and yet I continued to smoke.
What in the world made me continue this repulsive, nasty habit? What possible benefits could outweigh the consequences that were piling up in my life?
Well let’s see, first there was stress relief. Every time I felt tense, stress, or any uncomfortable emotion, all I had to do was light up my trusted friend, and I felt better immediately.
You see, nicotine is actually in a class of drugs called stimulants, and as with all stimulants it forces the release of such neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and nor epinephrine. These neurotransmitters are in charge of reward, drive, pleasure, and stimulation.
The problem is that the effects are only temporary, and cigarettes were also causing health issues which include
• Increased chances of heart attacks
• Increased chances of cancer
• Limited or diminished lung capacity
• Early wrinkles, and age spots
• Smelly clothes, breath, home, and car
• Yellow teeth, and skin
• More frequent illnesses
• Increased insurance rates
Along with all of that the cost of cigarettes continue to increase with each passing day. Today the cost of a pack of cigarettes is between seven and eight dollars a pack, (just recently the cost went from $7.00 to $7.65), a smoker is paying about $225.00 a month just to support this life threatening habit.
It is a proven fact that out of all the ways of quitting smoking or smoking cessation, the most effective is Hypnosis, usually producing a success rate of 90 to 92 % or higher. This is compared to nicotine patches, which produce 27% success rate, behavioral therapy at 24% success rate, or trying to quit on your own at 7% success rate.
Hypnosis works with the subconscious portion of your mind, giving you a new more effective ways of dealing with stress, while implanting images and thoughts that automatically increase the production of the above mentioned neurotransmitters, without the side effects of the nicotine.
While some programs promise results in just one session, the statistics suggest otherwise. A program that consist of three to five sessions spread out over a few weeks period is generally found to be more effective, and creates a better foundation for your quitting smoking. As with any addiction / recovery program the stronger the foundation, the greater the chance of success.
Also please be aware of costs. Like any program, you will find a variety of cost and charges. Just because a program charges you hundreds of dollars does not mean that it is more effective. Many high quality & effective programs, run by trained hypnotist and chemical dependency counselors can be found for anywhere from two to three hundred dollars. This is either slightly less or slightly more than what you pay on a monthly basis to continue to smoke.
Confession of a former Nicotine Addict, I use to smoke close to two packs of cigarettes per day. I have not smoked in over twenty six years, and I have never had an issue with urges or cravings. Hypnosis works, and it works well.
