In DS Holistics we use hypnotherapy to help our clients to quit smoking. Hypnotherapy is an effective way to remove the need and the desire to smoke. If you are determined to quit, then it takes only one session to break the habit.

How is that? It is understandable some people might feel sceptical about it especially after they have tried to quit using all different methods without success. The explanation is simple.

After you stop smoking the nicotine is gone from your blood stream in three days on average. So it is not the nicotine addiction that triggers a desire for smoking after that. What is it then? The emotions and feelings combined with the habit of smoking is the answer.

For so many years cigarette could have been your "crutch", your "pal", your "comfort". It became associated with many activities throughout your day… No surprise that when the time comes to say good bye to a cigarette for many people it feels almost like breaking up a relationship!

Hypnotherapy addresses your emotional attachment towards smoking. By changing those feelings at a deeper subconscious level it is possible to achieve positive results and to remove the urge to smoke. Hypnotherapy techniques allow us to change the unwanted habits, eliminate the fears and replace them with positive feelings and optimism. Once this is done quit smoking becomes much easier. Instead of the old cravings you can have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last become free from smoking.

The only condition for the treatment to be successful is that you must have a sincere desire to quit smoking yourself! Hypnosis cannot make you do something you do not want to do!

Nothing speaks better than the words of someone who have done it themselves! Have a look at the true testimonials of people that decided to give hypnotherapy a go and came to DSHolistics!

What happens at the session? Prior to your session we will send you an audio file that will explain how the hypnotherapy works. Also before the actual treatment we will have a detailed chat when you will be able to ask any questions you might have. The complete session including the information intake and the hypnotherapy treatment takes between 1,5 and 2 hours.

Hypnotherapy treatment is conducted in a comfortable atmosphere with a relaxing music on the background. You will be resting in a recliner chair and by following the hypnotherapist’s guidance you will achieve a hypnotic trance-like state.  At a physical level everything you will feel is a deep pleasant relaxation while your mind will be listening and processing the information to liberate you from smoking for good.

Will I be asleep when I am hypnotised? No. During hypnosis your body is relaxed but your mind is fully alert. Hypnosis is a 100% consent state. You are free to terminate it any stage yourself. You can stand up and leave at any stage. Though of course for your own benefit you should agree to follow the hypnotherapist’s guidance until the end of the session.

Will I put on weight when I quit? - No. You don't have to gain weight just because you quit smoking! Hypnotherapy helps you to replace the smoking habit with good positive behaviours. The reason why people put on weight after they quit smoking using other methods is that they still have cravings and they are trying to compensate them with food and sweets. Hypnotherapy helps you to leave the cravings behind so your body can find an optimum weight balance. Active lifestyle, good nutrition, exercise and pure water are the main keys to a healthy weight.

Will it work for me? Am I hypnotisable? – Everybody can experience hypnosis for as long as they want it to happen, allow themselves to relax and follow the therapist’s guidance. Clinical hypnosis is safe and its aim is to help you to achieve your goals. For that reason you want it to work for you and your desire will make it happen. There is just one thing that can impede you going into hypnotic trance and this thing is fear and misconception about the hypnotherapy. A detailed pre-talk is provided before your session that will answer all of your questions and possible doubts.

What is the success rate of the treatment? The results vary from person to person and depend on your own personal commitment. Put it this way – your own commitment rate is proportionate to your success rate! If you are committed 100% and determined to free yourself from smoking for good then you are giving yourself all the chances to succeed! Hypnotherapy is just a tool, but a powerful tool, to make it easier and to help you to achieve what YOU want! See what people who did it say here.
