With this Stop Smoking programme near Hertford, Biships Stortford and Hoddesdon at the Hertfordshire Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Clinic you will not be told or brainwashed about all the reasons why you shouldn't smoke, after all you know these reasons. We will, however, work together to look at the reasons why you continue to smoke even though you have a conscious desire to quit. This is a very thorough stop smoking programme where you will be helped to break the habit of smoking. The only thing neccessary for you to succeed is...YOUR TRUE DESIRE AND COMMITTMENT TO BECOME A NON SMOKER. You are helped, initially, to look at your beliefs as to why you smoke and what you believe smoking does for you i.e, "Smoking helps me to de-stress", "I cant go out for a drink and not smoke". You are helped to look at your beliefs to discover if they are fact or if they are simply habits and thoughts which you have learned to accept and adopt. You are helped to change your negative dysfunctional thinking as to why you continue to smoke with the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to stop smoking helps you to change the way in which you think, feel and behave towards cigarettes. At present you believe that cigarettes and smoking goes hand in hand with certain tasks. You are encouraged to challenge these beliefs as to what is fact and what is thoughts and beliefs you have conjured up. Equally, You Need To Learn To Become A Non Smoker You may have tried to quit smoking before and do you remember how difficult it was? Have you ever asked yourself why it was difficult to stop the habit of smoking? Have you ever wondered why you have been able to stop for a couple of days only to give in to the temptation. Have you ever wondered why you can be on a 10 hour flight and not really think about smoking...Because you can't, only to notice the cravings start appearing as the plane start making it's descend to landing because soon you will be able to smoke again! (This shows that smoking is a habit and not an addiction.) The answer why you found it difficult to stop smoking is because you never changed your thinking patterns towards smoking and cigarettes. You kept thinking like a smoker instead of learning to think like a non smoker. With this stop smoking programme you will learn successfully to think and act like a non smoker. How Will I Be Helped To Stop Smoking? You will be helped to become a permanent non smoker with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to stop smoking will help you to change the way in which you think, feel and behave towards cigarettes. As mentioned above you need to learn to think like a non smoker. You will learn to challenge all those negative thought patterns such as:
If you look at the above statements, how many of them are true with you? Smoking is a habit, a habit which you created, a habit which you allowed to become a part of you. Like the way in which you created this habit, equally you can learn to create the habit of being a non smoker. It does not need to be difficult and hard as you imagine. Quitting smoking will come naturally and if it comes naturally you will stay off the cigarettes...naturally too Before you can actually quit, and quit permanently, you have to learn the skills of thinking like a non smoker so before you even try to stop your habit of smoking you will need to learn these skills first. Whilst you are learning these new skills to become a non smoker it is ok to keep on smoking. You will stop smoking when you are ready, when your mind is ready. If you try to quit too quickly, like going cold turkey, you may not succeed because you would not have learned the new thinking patterns adequately to think like, and become a non smoker. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Will help you to change your thought processes towards cigarettes and smoking. How Does Hypnotherapy Help With Smoking Cessation? You will also be helped to understand what triggers and compels you to smoke with the very powerful therapeutic model of Hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy to stop smoking helps to uncover underlying subconscious reasoning of what smoking does for you and why you do it. Where the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you to challenge negative conscious thinking, Hypnotherapy helps to fix any subconscious triggers. When you light a cigarette, generally speaking, you do not consciously think about having one, you just put it in your mouth, light it and smoke it. Equally you may find yourself lighting cigarettes in the same situations without even realising it. Your hand just goes out for the packet. Smoking is a habit. Some people believe smoking is an addiction. Addictions and habits are different. If smoking was an addiction you would wake in the morning and smoke all the cigarettes your body missed whilst sleeping. Does that happen with you? The same can be applied to flying. Do you find yourself smoking all the cigarettes you missed whilst on the flight? I think the answer is probably NO. Smoking is a habit and that habit lives in your subconscious mind and this is where hypnotherapy will help you fix your smoking habit. Once your subconscious mind learns to think like a non smoker then you will find the words, "No thank you...I don't smoke," just rolling out without any conscious thinking.
The treatment provided is rapid and effective. Hypnotherapy is one of the oldest therapies around and is validated by the British Medical Association,(BMA), as an orthodox treatment and not merely a complimentary practice. Unfortunately stage shows have given people misconceptions as to what hypnosis is. Some people think that they lose control of their faculties or that they are asleep. Some people think that they will be made to say things they do not want to say. All these misconceptions are far from what hypnosis is. During the hypnotherapy sessions you are infact, in a state of heightened awareness. That is why this form of therapy is so effective because we are able to establish the root of all problems where they are burried...the subconscious mind. During the hypnotic state you cannot be made to say or do anything which goes against your beliefs or morals. During your very first session you will experience how safe and relaxing it is to enter the hypnotic state. Hypnotherapy faq's. Click On This Link For More Information On Hypnotherapy.

As with all therapies and treatments I provide I do not make rash promisses. I always endevour to help my clients achieve long term success in whatever they may be seeking treatment for. I do not offer the quick fix treatment, "Stop smoking in an hour." You may have seen these type of adverts. These quick fix offers cannot possibly deal with all the issues surrounding stopping smoking in just one hour of treatment. This stop smoking programme is not designed as a quick fix. It is designed to help you quit smoking naturally and permanently with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy which will help you change how your thought processes think and behave towards cigarettes and smoking. You will also be helped to break down the habit so there is no habit anymore.
