What are the benefits of stopping smoking?

Stopping smoking has so many benefits besides all the health- related benefits. For example, save money, stop being a bad role model for your children, stop smelling like and old ashtray, save time and much more.

Hypnotherapy can help to Stop Smoking

What is unique about this stop smoking help?

A stop smoking programme from Awaken the Change is different to many other self-hypnosis stop smoking sessions. It’s developed by Linda, a research and evidenced based master hypnotherapist, who has additional knowledge and skills as a retired nurse and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) in helping people to quit.

Linda uses a Transtheoretical approach. This means that the programme focuses on checking and helping you to develop the motivation to change and stay a non-smoker.  Plus, you learn to use the power of your mind with hypnosis and CBT to help you succeed.

Once it’s recognised what stage of change you are at, Linda uses psychoeducation and CBT to give you ways to understand why you smoke and reframe your mind to think positively about quitting. Then she uses her expert experience and knowledge as a teacher of different hypnosis techniques to develop the right hypnosis for you. The aim is to remove barriers and reinforce what you want through positive suggestion. So, combining treatment such as hypnosis and CBT, provides you with added benefits.

This bespoke programme involves a free initial consultation (either live or by phone) and two sessions.

Of course, you need to really want to quit smoking and be hypnotised. It should be your choice to quit so don’t be pushed into stopping unless you are prepared to quit for good.

Only contact Linda if you are serious about stopping smoking because people who play around with the idea of stopping find it harder to stop for good.

Use the power of your mind to quit smoking and get back control of your life. Stop allowing the chemicals in cigarettes to ruin your life and the habit to steal your freedom to do what you want to do.

And if you are vaping, why are you also continuing with the habit?
