From the notebook of stop smoking analyst. Why Quitting Smoking Is So Difficult: Give It 100% To Win I would like to share with you a little story that illustrates how powerful our minds really are. In this story a young boy went to a circus with his father. The young boy noticed a full-grown elephant that had a rope tied to his leg. The other end of the rope was tied to a wooden stake driven into the ground. The young boy asked his father, “couldn’t that big elephant pull that stake out of the ground if he...

If quitting smoking was as easy as as changing chairs. Of course it is not, but read these notes from the therapy session and you may want to change…your habits. I realize that a few moments ago you walked in this office as a smoker. You have been relaxing while sitting in this chair. In fact it feels as though that very chair as somehow drained all stress, and tension right out of your body. It feels wonderful to allow that chair to take and keep the stresses of day. It is now time to allow that chair to...

A series of studies over the last few years has confirmed what was already common sense to most of us: If you want to have a good sex life, it’s time to take steps to quit smoking. Are you still clinging to the old idea that smoking is sexy? If so, welcome to the modern world. That old-fashioned rebellious mystique may still be around, but it has nothing to do with walking around in a cloud of stink, having bad breath, bad skin, brown teeth, and coughing up gobs of phlegm every two minutes. Nobody likes that—except maybe other...

Smoking has already killed your social life, shrunk your dating pool, made you smell bad, hurt your looks, and left your senses of taste and smell hanging by a thread. But these aren’t the only hazards of smoking. The dirty habit also steals your money. It takes your money in the obvious way—in the form of $4 to $10 per pack, depending on where you live. But it also reduces your job prospects, prevents you from getting respect and promotions at work, and dramatically inflates your personal short-term and long-term health care costs. All in all, experts say smoking...

Quitting smoking does lots of funny things to the body, and you might not even realize some of them are happening. Like, if you feel kind of weird 8 hours after your last cigarette, you’re probably not going to say to yourself, “Oh, that must be the carbon monoxide in my blood returning to normal levels.” Or, the next day, you’re probably not going to say, “This strange feeling in my chest must be my bronchial tubes relaxing!” No, these are stop smoking side effects that you have to deal with. So what to expect when you quit smoking?...

In my experience, most quitting smoking methods make one of two mistakes. Either they focus too much on the physical aspects of nicotine addiction, or they operate based on the assumption that we smoke because of triggers. Hypnosis is the best way to quit smoking because it doesn’t do either of these things. Instead, it goes deep into your mind and makes real changes to the blueprints for who you are and why you act, think, and feel the way you do. Why Other Methods Don’t Work Of course, I’m not denying that the physical reasons for smoking are...

Bracing Yourself If you haven’t yet accepted the difficulty of what you’re about to do, you might want to take some time to think about it. Step...

When I talk to people about how I stopped smoking, they often seem confused about how hypnosis for smoking works. In fact, they’re often confused about hypnosis in general, as there are a lot of very common misconceptions. That’s why, before you begin, it’s important to clear your mind of everything you think you know about the process. It’s not just that vaguely interesting but mostly silly thing you’ve seen on TV. It’s a real, scientifically proven process, and it can have profound therapeutic benefits. So, everything you’ve heard about hypnosis? Forget about it. Start fresh today. Pretend you’ve...

If you’ve tried every commercial stop smoking aid and all have failed you, there might be a surprising reason for this. Sure, maybe these products just aren’t very good, but there’s probably another factor in the equation: If stop smoking aids haven’t worked for you, maybe you just weren’t ready to quit yet. Self-Sabotage I know it can be infuriating when someone claims to know more about your own thoughts and feelings than you do. But when it comes to addiction, many of us simply aren’t attuned to our own inner workings. This is just a basic symptom of...

In mainstream websites on methods for quitting smoking, stop smoking hypnotherapy always gets banished to the “Other” or “Alternative” category, if it gets mentioned at all. But to those of us who have had success using hypnosis to quit smoking, this is baffling. I know, because I’m one of them. There is absolutely no doubt that smoking cessation hypnosis works. In fact, for some people, it works infinitely better than mainstream methods. So, why is it that those shoddy quitting products get so much promotion, while stop smoking hypnotherapy is treated like some unproven method for weirdoes? Unfortunately, there...

Ask someone who has never smoked, and they’ll probably say the best way to stop smoking is just to stop. Just don’t buy cigarettes, don’t put one in your mouth, don’t light it up, and don’t smoke it. Simple, right? That’s why we don’t ask lifelong non-smokers for quitting advice. Only those of us who’ve suffered the depths of nicotine withdrawal can possibly know how hard it is. There’s no easy way to quit smoking, and stopping cold turkey is one of the hardest ways of all. That is, stopping cold turkey is one of the hardest ways to...

Before I used hypnosis to stop smoking, I didn’t know anything about how hypnosis works. To be honest, if you’d asked me before, I probably would have said that hypnosis is just a bunch of nonsense. I associated it with those guys on TV who snap their fingers and make audience members act like chickens. I knew it was a real thing, but I didn’t think it had any real purpose. In fact, before I tried to stop smoking with hypnosis, I didn’t think I could be hypnotized. Not that I’d ever tried it, but I felt pretty sure...

Alter Your Memories T = THERAPIST C = CLIENT T: I would like you to remember back to one of the first few cigarettes that you ever smoked. T: As you begin to recall one of those first few cigarettes that you ever smoked, nod your head yes, and relax even further. WAIT FOR YES RESPONSE T: Tell me about how old were you back then? C: I was about 15 then. T: I imagine that one of the reasons that you started smoking back then was to look older or more mature, is that right. C: Yes, we...

Today you will be using a wonderful ability that we call foresight. Thinking ahead. So often people use hindsight. They wait until it is too late, and then say things like, if I would of known then what I know now. If I only had it to do over again. If I only had another chance. Today you are using foresight, thinking a head and becoming free of the smoking habit before there could be severe health problems down the road. By using foresight here, now, today, you are avoiding the possibility of health problems down the road, and...

Three Way To Respond To Hypnotic Suggestion For example sake, during this session if I told you automatically, your right foot was going to float up into the air, it would simply begin to float upwards. Isn’t that amazing? Now, today I am not going to make your foot float up in the air, but if I would tell you, that automatically your right foot would begin to lift up, there would only be three ways in which you could respond. You could say to yourself, ” I really want this to work, so I’ll help it out,” and...
