It’s Time to Quit Smoking or Vaping Before it’s Really Cold.

It’s getting colder and it’s darker earlier each evening. Are you looking forward to leaving the warmth and dry inside and standing outside in the cold, wet and wind of the autumn and winter? It’s time to quit smoking or vaping before it’s really cold?

How wonderful would it be to start the winter as a non-smoker or quitting the vaping, before the really cold weather and dark nights hit?

Is now the time you are finally ready to quit? 

Have you ben thinking about quitting for a while?

Hypnotherapy could be a way to help you finally quit once and for all.

What happens if I decide to come for hypnotherapy?

If you decide that hypnotherapy could help you quit smoking or vaping, it all starts with a detailed and two way conversation. When you come to see me, I’ll ask a range of questions to help me understand why you’re smoking or vaping. This includes why you started, your reasons for wanting to stop now, when and where you smoke most and least, what has kept you smoking/vaping for this long, and what you like least about it. Most importantly, why you’re ready to quit now. This is to fully understand your relationship with cigarettes or vapes. 

It’s a very positive approach.

Using this information, we will work together to create a personalised approach. The goal being, to strengthen your resolve and reinforce your decision to quit by using positive, empowering language and imagery. This is important because the brain doesn’t process negative instructions in the way we expect it to.

For example:

If I ask you not to think about the pink elephant in the room.

I’ll bet, the first thing you did was picture a pink elephant—and then try to push it out of your mind. This is how the brain works.

So instead of saying, “I don’t want to smoke anymore,” which still focuses on smoking, we reframe it positively, for example:

“I’m enjoying a healthy lifestyle, with fresh air in my lungs.”

This gives your mind something positive to move towards, rather than something to fight against.

What’s it feel like to be hypnotised?

Once we are happy with your positive plan, then I will relax you into a lovely state like you were in before you fully woke this morning. You’ll still be in control, you’ll hear what I’m saying and all the other noises around you. Your mind may wander and you may daydream, and that’s perfectly normal, you don’t have to actively listen to every work. In the relaxed state your unconscious mind will be listening and taking on board the messages for when you’re fully conscious.

What will you do with the extra time you have as a non smoker, or when you stop vaping?

For many people, smoking or vaping has become more of a habit than a pleasure. Often, it’s something done automatically—during breaks, while driving, after meals, or in stressful moments. It can be helpful to think ahead about what you’ll do with the extra time you gain as a non-smoker, and what you can do with your hands instead of holding a cigarette or vape. These small practical changes can make a big difference in breaking old patterns.
