Hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, is a means of creating a state of deep mental relaxation where physical and mental stress and tension are reduced. Someone in such a relaxed state of mind may be more open to suggestion and advice from a professionally trained hypnotherapist as to how to change certain aspects of their behaviour or lifestyle - such as smoking.

Many people say Hypnotherapy is the best way to quit smoking.

The respected scientific publication ‘New Scientist’* answered this when it reported on research carried out on over 70,000 people. It statistically showed hypnosis as the most effective way to give up smoking.

Help to stop smoking using hypnotherapy / hypnosis, was found to be 300% as successful as nicotine replacement therapy, and 500% as successful as just will power alone.

But how does it help you quit? Is that what you are asking?

The help with stop smoking hypnotherapy sessions are quite straightforward, very effective.

Stopping Smoking Hypnosis is effective because:

• It deals directly with the habitual processes which cause you to smoke
• It can remove your desire to smoke
• It explains why you need a reward in order to stop smoking…
• and it gives you that ‘reward’ for stopping smoking.

You can quit smoking with Hypnosis. Smoking is a habit and habits can be changed.

Through hypnosis you can develop insight into the real reasons you smoke.

Stopping smoking is NOT a matter of willpower. You must recondition your subconscious mind with new information.

Even if you have tried to quit and failed before, you have a better chance of succeeding through the use of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is a drug-free therapy and in the long term, can save the medical health insurance companies, over time, millions upon millions of dollars in health and palliative care. Yet in Australia, not many medical health insurance companies offer rebates or incentives for the service of hypnotherapy. One has to ask why?

In fact, if you belong to the medical health fund, ask them if they offer rebates for hypnotherapy, remember it is your money you pay them. At least they should offer you this invaluable service. If they say no, then ask this to be changed. Or simply change to a fund that offers you this modality.

Smoking is a highly dangerous pastime. Yet tobacco has used the image of vibrant healthy people to promote their product that if introduced on the market place today, would surely be banned.
