For all smokers, smoking perpetuates at least one powerful illusion.

That it reduces stress. As blood levels of nicotine reduce - Nicotine Craving and stress levels rise. We become more aware of being stressed. Smoking then raises nicotine levels - sedates that craving - and we feel less stressed.

So the illusion is complete ! Smoking only reduces the stress that nicotine craving causes....... In fact - tobacco took control - and you became a tobacco junkie !

So why quit ? The facts about smoking and smoking side effects are sombre enough.

You pay for each cigarette many times ! Only once directly through the pocket - but more generally other ways !

You smell bad and pollute the air for others - including the children you love - incurring social disapproval and personal disgust.

Your clothes and person are unclean - and your insides and all the intimate spaces you occupy are bathed in a poisonous slick of sticky tar and stale smoke.

You progressively look and feel worse. Your health deteriorates and you feel worse - reducing your whole quality of life.

You are increasingly likely to suffer and die badly. ( See footnote )

But all this can change. It is a choice ! You can quit smoking !

The benefits of not smoking are obvious and very quickly realised ! ( See footnote ) But - as well as sticking on some nicotine patches - you might need some expert help !

Smoking cessation is a significant life change and needs to be tackled systematically. To be effective - we need to make a thorough analysis of what goes on - to identify the process clearly and completely.

How is the habit made up ? What are the triggers ? What myths and illusions justify ? Who or what situations are co-conspirators in your smoking plot ? What other purposes are you using it for ? What are you afraid will happen if you stop ?

Time for dialogue and reflection ! You come to me.

Between us we discover the easy routes to go.

For each trigger situation there are thousand things that could happen instead.

For each illusion or reasonable seeming justification - there are a thousand possible alternative mindsets.

For every element of resistance - there might be a thousand ways around.

For every seeming loss - there are a thousand possible gains.

The aim is to find the specific solutions that will work for you.

Time for action !

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can change habitual patterns and mental reflexes - so that you behave differently - in an effortless way..

Hypnosis for smoking can change the way you experience the old habit so that you - quite naturally - find smoking unpleasant - and don’t want to do it any more.

Smoking behaviours and thought patterns can be transformed to become the triggers for entirely different reactions - interrupting and and re-routing the old smoking impulse.

What might get in the way ?

Amongst other things - you may fear putting on weight - or not knowing what to do instead - or losing an old friend. Your unconscious mind can be prepared with well-formed strategies for coping with the change so that the system is not shocked into any adverse reaction.

With 35 yrs Professional Behavioural Science Experience - very few tricks or wrinkles escape my attention ! I really know how to analyse behaviour and find out what is really going on.

And whatever the difficulty - there is no shortage of remedies. I don’t reach a script down off the shelf or deliver band-aid solutions. This is definitely not a case of one size fits all.

Ericksonian hypnotherapy work deliberately sets out to explore and discover what really works for you. There are undoubtedly elements in your behaviour and ways of thinking that can be used differently to achieve a solution. Sometimes through the most unlikely seeming routes. It just requires sufficient professional experience and imagination to achieve this. And you don't have to wait for national no smoking day ! You can make any day your own !

Becoming a non smoking person is an important step which is truly life-changing.

So do it well - and do it now !

It doesn't have to be a fight - you don’t have to give up smoking.

Set up the Ericksonian way - you can just allow your smoking habit to go away !
