Stopping Smoking
‘Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little.’
From Issue 1845 of the New Scientist magazine, page 6
So how does hypnotherapy help?
Willpower, logic and rationale are housed in our conscious mind, whereas habits, emotions and feelings are in our subconscious mind. Deciding to stop smoking is a conscious decision, but the subconscious mind still thinks that you are a smoker and is still running that habit for you day in day out at the appropriate triggers. Many people struggle giving up smoking by using willpower alone because they are, in effect, fighting their own mind and that’s when mood swings, irritability and bad temper can start.
By using hypnotherapy we are ‘reprogramming’ the subconscious mind, matching that conscious desire and commitment to become a non-smoker – subconsciously, making it a lot easier to stop... removing irritability, mood swings, bad temper, as well as cravings and possible weight gain.
Our stop smoking method, which has been successfully used for nearly 20 years, works irrespective of how many cigarettes you smoke or for how long you have smoked. In most cases it takes only one, 1 hour session to stop smoking for good!
As well as seeing individual clients, the Change Your Life Practice has worked with companies and organisations to help employees to stop smoking.

"As a business we like to promote a healthy lifestyle. We thought a good way to do this would be to offer hypnosis to our employees as a way of giving up smoking. In all we had ten people wanting to receive treatment.
Helen at Change Your Life was so accommodating with any request or query we had, we had no trouble setting up appointments for all those interested.
Everyone who has received hypnosis has had a positive result from it and would recommend to anyone unsure of hypnosis to go to Helen as she explained everything that was going to happen and how and why the treatment works."

Unwanted habits
Habits are patterns of behavior deeply routed in the subconscious mind: - that is, they are mostly performed unconsciously. Because of this, trying to overcome habits with willpower alone or by paying conscious attention to them can be very difficult.
Hypnotherapy can be extremely effective in addressing unwanted habits because it accesses the subconscious part of the mind where habits are stored and the pattern of behavior can be re-written.
Unwanted habits may include nail biting, hair picking, thumb sucking, bruxism (teeth grinding), watching too much TV to name but a few.
