I just recently finished working with a young woman who had come to see me for Smoking Cessation. Despite the fact that she is working at a job that is very high stress, she was able to learn techniques and skills to deal with the stress, that did not include the use of nicotine.
In all of the years that I have worked in the Social Working Field, as a Hypnotherapist, Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Smoking Cessation Cournselor, I have helped people rid themselves of this addiction, on many different levels.
The first level is the physical level. There are many different ways of attempting this, some programs have the client use nicotine patches or cutting back on the amount of cigarettes smoked each day. At Foundations Hypnosis and Life Coaching, the client is taught a step down process that allows them to continue the same amount of cigarettes smoked per day, but lowers the nicotine intake by 100(s) of nicotine units per day.
While they are accomplishing this goal, they are also guided into utilizing techniques to lower / reduce stress, that usually causes them to grab for a ciagarettE to help them calm down. As I mentioned in the beginnning of this blog, one of my latetest clients works a very stressful job and was able to learn and utilize techinques that allowed her to quit using nicotine as a stress reliever.
The most powerful technique, and the one that is identified as the most effective and successful technique to aid in smoking cessation, is the Hypnotic Induction itself. During the induction, clients are giving images and messages that create the behavior of being a non-smoker, a healthy happy non-smoker. As the saying goes, if you think you can do something, you will. If you think you can’t do something, you won’t.
Foundations Hypnosis gives you the ability and the drive to see yourself and think of yourself as a non-amoker, and when you see and think of yourself as a helathy happy non-smoker, that is what you become.
