Online Hypnotherapy for Smoking

Quit smoking with Online Hypnotherapy

There’s no easy way of saying this but ‘smoking kills’, I know the pain and suffering it causes, having witnessed this first-hand, unfortunately my mother in her late seventies suffers from COPD.  I’ve sat by her hospital beside on countless occasions, I’ve held her hand through two lung punctures and spent numerous hours by her bedside when she has been hospitalised because she has had trouble breathing and had a severe lung infection.  It’s a hideous, debilitating, life limiting and consequently very frightening disease and just one of the conditions caused by smoking. [Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. It’s typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions. (Mayo Clinic. Org)

Research shows that hypnotherapy is very effective for smoking cessation

In 1955, hypnotherapy was officially recognised as a legitimate therapeutic technique by the British Medical Association (BMA) and in 1958, the American Medical Association (AMA) also published a report recognising hypnotherapy as an orthodox medical treatment. Since that time, hypnotherapy has become an accepted and celebrated component of traditional health treatment.

Subsequent numerous studies have gone on to show that hypnotherapy is very effective for smoking cessation.

  • More than 2 times greater than nicotine gum
  • And 3 times greater than physician interventions where the physician offered more than counselling.

  • More recently a study into the evaluation of Smoking Cessation via Online Hypnosis showed that “the results of a field study which investigates the effectiveness of online hypnosis for smoking cessation. Following an international call in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for subjects willing to stop smoking 99% participants contributed to this study, which took place during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic. All subjects received two online hypnosis sessions in small groups and additionally got two MP3 audio files for individual intensification. It turned out that 86% of the participants are smoke-free after six months as long as they participated according to the intervention protocol.”

How does the Hypnotherapy and NLP Smoking Cessation Programme that you offer work?  Typically we it would incorporate most if not all of the following:-

How many sessions am I likely to need:-

For those who want to stop today, one session is all you need, it’s pretty intensive and lasts up to two hours, 100% commitment is required and I only offer this option if you are 100% committed.

However, for those who would prefer to work towards giving up over a period of time, I generally recommend a course of six sessions.
