Quit 4 Life Stop Smoking Session

Stop Smoking with hypnotherapy in Leamington Spa

Does it work?

Hypnosis for stopping smoking is scientifically proven to be more effective than any other therapy and is 100% safe.

In 1992 New Scientist Magazine published the results of an extensive clinical study on the most effective methods of quitting smoking. A meta-analysis, statistically combining the results of more than 600 studies (over 72,000 individual cases) showed that hypnotherapy increased a smoker’s success chances from 6% to 60%.

These are the research based success rates from the above study for different smoking cessation methods:

60% – Single session Hypnosis

24% – Acupuncture

10% – Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

6% – Willpower alone

Hypnotherapy has been approved for use by the UK Government and, selectively, by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). CBT is also an independently researched and proven therapy, similarly approved by NICE.

Only you can make to decision to stop smoking and that's something you have to do to make this work. Hypnotherapy can never make anyone do anything that they don't want to do. It would actually be quite unethical if it could, so willpower is required! Having said this, providing that you really want to stop and you are willing to stick at it, your Quit 4 Life therapist will be happy to work with you to help you to really enjoy being a non-smoker and to achieve long-term success.

What form does a session take?

The session will take around 90 minutes. Every client's needs and circumstances are different and your therapist will address your particular needs and work out how best to help you. During the hypnotherapy time you will be invited to make yourself comfortable and will be guided into a deeper state where you are more open to positive suggestion and where effective changes to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be made by you. Before the end of the session you will be taught how to take yourself into hypnosis as well as how to deal with any cravings, and you will be provided with a specially recorded, instructional hypnosis CD.

What's it like to be in hypnosis?

In a session of hypnotherapy you're likely to feel enjoyably drowsy, relaxed and in a very comfortable state. It’s not a state of sleep and no stage hypnosis tricks are employed. You'll be aware of everything that is happening and afterwards you'll probably remember everything that has been said to you. In this state you are likely to be able to take on board ideas that will help to convince you that you can be successful in becoming a non-smoker and that you can actually enjoy being a non-smoker - more than you've ever enjoyed being a smoker.

How many sessions will I need?

You will have 3 session over one week. You will also be taught how to take yourself into hypnosis and to use a specially recorded CD to maintain your success. In fact we recommend daily self-hypnosis until you are quite sure that you won't relapse. Occasionally clients feel that they can benefit from a repeat therapy session.
