Have you been waiting for the right time to quit smoking? Here is some good news that will help you finally quit. If you stop smoking now, the damage it has done to your body will begin the healing process within 20 minutes*. Are you afraid that quitting right now may be too stressful with so much else going on in your life? It’s important to consider that there will always be other things happening in your life, so if you are really ready to quit smoking, we can make it easy to stop smoking for good. We offer the healthiest way to quit smoking so you can live your healthiest possible life.
At District Hypnosis, we recognize that you have already been hypnotized – into becoming a smoker. Your smoking habit is a subconscious behavior that is deeply rooted in the erroneous belief that smoking brings pleasure. Nicotine is a stimulant, yet you have been pushed to think it’s relaxing. The truth is that cigarettes do not help relieve any stress other than that which is caused by a nicotine craving. When smokers ask how they can quit smoking, they are often discouraged by what they hear. You may have been convinced that quitting has to be a drawn out, miserable ordeal wrought with suffering, agitation, overwhelming cravings and emotional turmoil, but smoking cessation really doesn’t have to be this way.
The Best Smoking Cessation Programs
We will work with you to quit smoking through hypnosis, change these perceptions, and prove it through your own success! Just as the power of your own mind programmed you into becoming a smoker, it has the power to re-boot your mindset back to that of a non-smoker. Smoking cessation through hypnosis has worked for countless others, and it could work for you too.
Do you remember your first cigarette? Did it really taste good? Seriously. Did you really feel relaxed as you felt it fill up your lungs, or were you actually just struggling not to choke on it? How about now? Do you ever smoke because you really “need” a cigarette? Do you really think of yourself as an “addict”?
This is what makes our program different. We don’t just wean you from nicotine to the questionable status of the average ex-smoker – always still thinking like a smoker and susceptible to a relapse. Our approach is to “de-hypnotize” your mind so that you can become the comfortable non-smoker you want to be: Your natural self, free from nicotine dependence! Through hypnosis for smoking, your desire for a smoke can vanish! You can lay back in a comfortable recliner, relax your mind, take back control, and emerge as a liberated clear-headed non-smoker!
The Best Way to Quit Smoking
Our Stop Smoking programs are custom-designed and include the following:
- Private one-on-one hypnosis sessions
- Handouts with tips and information to help you stay on track.
- Hypnosis CDs to take home and use between sessions for reinforcement.
- Our “Stay With You” Commitment*
Whether this is your first time trying to quit, or you have tried to quit before (the average smoker tries to quit 7 to 9 times in their life), you will become a non-smoker if you follow our Smoking Cessation Programs. Our hypnosis programs for smoking are private and individualized according to your specific needs. Unlike group hypnosis, which only gives generic suggestions to stop smoking, we address your personal smoking issues, habits, and unconscious behaviors to clear away the triggers that have you reaching for a cigarette. We are certain that this is the best way to quit smoking for many people.
Substituting positive responses, the reflex to smoke disappears. Through changing your beliefs about cigarettes, they become unattractive, and giving suggestions to keep you from “trying your first cigarette” helps you remain a non-smoker for life. For less than half of what you would spend on your cigarettes, you can become a non-smoker! Additionally, with the money you save once you quit smoking, you can wave goodbye to the cigarettes as you breathe fresh air on the smoke-free vacation of your dreams!
