Addictions-Smoking
The most common social ill, as perceived by the overwhelming majority, is considered both distasteful and intrusive. It's not hard to figure out the practice: smoking. The habit not only affects those addicted to nicotine, it also has an impact on those who live, work or play within close proximity to them.
When smokers want to quit, it's not uncommon for them to seek the easiest form of therapy; a form of treatment that offers the least resistance. They turn to hypnosis often as a last resort. They first try nicotine patches, gum, acupressure and acupuncture, perhaps achieving only temporary success at best. The key reason for this is because such methods use only half our mental faculties - the conscious mind.
Attempting to give up smoking using only the conscious mind is very much like doing a job with only half the workforce present. To be completely successful in quitting smoking the "whole mind" approach is recommended. By resolving any conflicts between both the conscious and unconscious minds, and getting them to agree to accepting the challenge of a task, you can easily achieve resolution through hypnosis.
Hypnosis uses a tool to transport an image, idea or concept into the subconscious mind. The exciting reality is that for behavioural change, only a light state of hypnosis needs to be achieved, to effectively alter one's thoughts and desires regarding smoking. This is achieved by coupling physical relaxation with beta conscious activity (imagery), integrating the correct suggestions at the correct time. In this way, the effects of a single hypnosis session have been proven to ensure the cessation of smoking for a lifetime.
More importantly is the desire to avoid the same environmental factors that typically entice the return of any form of habit. A hypnotherapist can provide the necessary treatment, but the client must want to make the change from within - and outside - themselves. In tandem, success is then assured.

“Thank you for giving me power and control back to my life. I am now captain of my ship! I found my heart and my courage and can connect back with my mind to achieve what I want, and stop doing what I don’t want to do.
I am a more peaceful, positive and loving person. I acknowledge and thank you for unlocking my potential within.”

What I liked about hypnosis is the focus on the present and the future rather than analyzing the past. The positive thoughts given to me are like a gift – the best gift that can be given to anyone.
Additionally, I achieved all of the goals I wanted to achieve and this affects my health and well-being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[Conditions: Smoking Cessation / Stress Management]
The therapy session helped me compartmentalized my emotions/feelings towards issues in life. I am able to breakdown a problem into small pieces and resolve them one at a time. This gives me a better, clearer picture and more confident to solve my problems.
Throughout the six sessions, I have also managed to recognize/acknowledge things about myself which have never crossed my mind before.
Though I have not quit smoking completely, I believe it is only because too many things happened during the period and I need to narrow them down gradually and finally reach my target to quit smoking.

“I have had six sessions, and with every session, I felt more and more confident I could achieve things such as staying away from smoke and doing things in life that are important to me. These changes affected my way of thinking, and also my whole attitude to life. And will allow me to continue thinking so in life.”

Since I did hypnosis with my therapist, I have discovered what it is to be able to relax, to be able to take time for me, myself, allowing me to address the problems and challenges I wanted – particularly to give up smoking on this occasion, I feel great.
