Dear Debbie,
“I have been smoke-free since the night I walked out of your office.
I’m completely over the ‘two morning cigarettes.’ I’ve already created a new morning routine — free from the control of tobacco — and I love it.
After work, I now walk 1–2 miles every evening. I’m even joining a gym with my coworkers. If you remember, I couldn’t do that before because all I wanted was to rush home and have a cigarette.
Now I feel energized. I’m filling my lungs with fresh air.
AHHH… what a feeling.”
How Hypnosis Helps You Stop Smoking Naturally
This client also shared that she listens to her personalized hypnosis recordings each night before bed. As she drifts off to sleep, she reinforces positive suggestions at the subconscious level.
That’s where real change happens.
When you retrain the subconscious mind to associate freedom, health, and pride with being smoke-free, cravings lose their power. Instead of fighting cigarettes, you simply move forward without them.
After just one week without smoking, she felt proud, energized, and delighted by how her body responded.
Most importantly, she committed to taking it one day at a time.
Long-Term Results After Just One Hypnosis Session
I received that letter in January.
However, what matters even more is the follow-up.
Later, she wrote:
“I had one visit with you on March 6, 2006, and I have not had a cigarette since. Thank you.”
One session. No cigarettes. Years of freedom.
That is the power of hypnosis for smoking cessation when someone is ready.
Why Do People Try to Quit Smoking Alone?
This brings me to one of my ongoing questions:
Why do so many people struggle alone when help is available?
Often, new clients tell me they come to hypnosis as a last resort. They have tried patches, gum, willpower, and countless promises to themselves.
Then, when they succeed with hypnosis, they ask the same thing:
“Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
If You Want to Quit Smoking, Consider Hypnosis
If you are thinking about quitting smoking — or have tried before without lasting success — give hypnosis a second thought.
Hypnosis is:
-
Safe
-
Natural
-
Drug-free
-
Focused on the subconscious patterns that drive habit
When you change the internal programming, the external behavior follows.
The results speak for themselves.
If you’re ready to become smoke-free, perhaps now is the time.
Hi Debbie. Congrats on another satisfied client. Are the tapes the client referring to subliminal tapes? If not, I’d be curious to know what your “take” is on this type of device?
Thanks for asking HR,
The audios I give a client are either recording that I have created for various issues in general, i.e. smoking, fear of flying, etc. or they are recordings that can be listened to of the session we did together. In a session I will often have a person go into trance more than one time. The final time is what as known as direct suggestion, where I give positive reinforcements to the subconscious of the goals they hope to achieve.
There is not enough evidence in my opinion that subliminal recordings have any effectiveness. Just as a client will get nothing more than sleep if I allow them to go to sleep in my office, words not heard are just that, not heard.
I believe that anyone who has had success with subliminal recordings is based upon the placebo effect. That is, the intent was to make this change and therefore one is reminded of that intent every time they are played.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Always wondered about those. I know some people who swear by them…I guess you’re right though…if you want the suggestion, you will take it…otherwise, it’s like everything else you hear…in one ear, and out the other…
