Smoking FAQ

Q: How successful is smoking cessation through hypnosis?
A: 90% successful without withdrawal symptoms.

Q: Do I stop smoking right away?
A: Not unless you want to - you will quit within the suggested  five to ten day window of the 2 session program - you choose your "quit date".

Q: With hypnosis, will I crave a smoke?
A: No. It will simply be a matter of “I don’t care if I have one or not.”

Q: Will I gain weight when I quit smoking?
A: Not unless you want to! (And we provide suggestions to help!)

Q: When will I really be a non-smoker?
A: You are considered a full fledged non-smoker after one year of being completely smoke free.

The Two-Session Program  – You can be smoke-free for the rest of your life.  This IS something you want for yourself, for your self-esteem, your health, and perhaps even for the health of other family members (second-hand smoke kills nearly as many people as actually smoking cigarettes)!  Call us today at 519-962-9676 - let's get started on your smoke-free for life program.

This program is scheduled in two private Individual Sessions.  The sessions are each about 2 hours long.  These sessions should be scheduled within 5 to 7 days apart, depending on the amount you smoke, how long you've smoked, and appointment availability. Below is a brief outline of how the sessions are structured. 

In the first session we will review your reasons for smoking when you initially started, and we will provide you with guidelines to assist you in your choice to quit smoking. You will be taught self-hypnosis, so that you can begin immediately implementing a strategy that will assist you to quit in a matter of several days to up to ten days, supported by changing your focus from smoking over to creating a smoke-free lifestyle.

Many people fear quitting because they will need to make these changes, but once they are shown how it can be fun, even exciting and pleasant to do so, using hypnosis, then the changes come rapidly and successfully.  We will also do a pre-quitting hypnosis session which prepares you for your "quit date".  NLP is also used, to help you make the changes easily.

At the second session, on the date you have chosen as your "quit date", we review the strategies you have implemented to become and stay smoke-free, and answer any questions or situations that have come up after your first session.  We then proceed with a powerful hypnosis session that will provide you specific support in all the areas where you have indicated are necessary, as well as those additional suggestions we provide, because they work for all individuals in this program.

You will still have to use some will-power to avoid situations that may tempt you to smoke, and to remind yourself that you now have a powerful tool at your disposal to keep you smoke-free.  What you will find, though, is because of the hypnosis sessions, and the underlying assistance of your sub-conscious mind in breaking the cigarette habit, that with each passing day, your will-power is stronger, and in a shorter period that you might think, you will be feeling and acting as though you've never smoked, or wanted to smoke, in your life.  That is when you can truly say "I'm now smoke-free for life!" You can also read more extensively on why this two session quit smoking program works, here in my blog.

The One Session (4 hour long) Program - IF you have decided that this will be the last day you smoke, you are ready to, and can demonstrate your willingness to throw out the cigarettes THAT DAY, this may be the program for you to use.  With the immediate back-to-back sessions, your responses to hypnosis will generally increase exponentially into the 3rd and 4th hours, so the messages go very deep into the non-conscious mind.  This one-day program is not recommended for those smoking more than 25 cigarettes per day.

The total fee of $320.00 for either the one day or the two day program is payable before the first session (a convenient link to PayPal will be provided when you arrange your session(s)), and is non-refundable once the program has started. 

NOTE:  I will not use negative aversion techniques or suggestions in working with you.  These generally do not address the root cause of smoking, and can create problems for you down the road. If you think the only way you can quit is to be scared out of quitting, then I kindly ask you to find someone else to do that to you.

NOTE:  As with all hypnosis programs we offer, if you have any serious underlying medical/psychological conditions for which you are currently undergoing medical treatment, we request that you obtain a note from your doctor stating their consent to use hypnosis for quitting smoking.

NOTE:  Don't be fooled by other more costly hypnosis programs that offer an "unlimited" number of sessions over a long period of time.  These programs provide a false sense of security that actually works against your immediate, pressing desire to quit. Having the sense that you can always go back and get "it" done to you again, only repeats what you've already been doing without success. Why keep repeating failure? If you find you need a "booster" hypnosis session, after completing the program and doing YOUR homework for at least one week, I will provide a one-time one-hour session at half my regular one hour fee.
