Most people will be well aware by now of the government campaign to get people to give up smoking ‘just for October’ with the thought being that if you are able to give up for 4 weeks, you are much more likely to stay off the ciggies for life.
Whilst this may be true for some people, others that I have spoken to say that those first few weeks are actually quite easy, and then they can sometimes have a craving a month or so after having given up. The point is everyone is different and no two people have the same degree of motivation for giving up. What is universally agreed upon is that it is not an easy thing to do, and any help and support that we can get whilst in the process of stopping smoking is very welcome.
My stop smoking hypnosis package includes a thorough consultation, in which I find out what smoking does for you and how we can find other ways to fulfil those needs. We then have the hypnosis session itself, which usually lasts around 1 1/2 – 2 hours, and is uniquely tailored to your own personality and situation. You are provided with a CD to use at home, along with the option of a follow-up session, if needed. However, I generally find that the one session is enough to set you on your way. Most of my clients who come for smoking cessation hypnosis find that, after treatment, it is relatively easy as they no longer have any desire or craving for cigarettes, and their subconscious mind has found other much more healthy ways that they are able employ to de-stress.
I do not need to remind anyone of the dangers of smoking, as we are all aware of the increased risk of cancers, heart disease and lung problems.
Many people do not know, however, about other health problems that have a direct correlation with smoking. One of these is age-related macular degeneration (a type of blindness), and my mum was unfortunate enough to contract this, and has had to have regular injections directly into the eye which have saved the sight in one eye, but not the other. This has been so debilitating for my mum, it has meant that she has lost all of her confidence going out as she is worried about tripping up, and also she had to give up driving which was something she loved and gave her a great deal of independence. She also has problems seeing the television, reading and knitting – all things which she used to love doing. It is probable that her condition would have been precipated by smoking.
If you are thinking of giving up – not just for October – and feel that hypnosis would really set you on the right path, do please give me a call on 01449 780352 or 0781 7158429, or email me wendy@wendychalk.co.uk.
