Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that is between the aware state and sleep. Driving a route you are familiar with and not being fully conscious of every turn you make is similar to the hypnotic state. Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind, which makes up 90% of your brain that stores all your memories. With hypnosis, you reprogram and release thought patterns and habits to make desirable, lasting changes in your life.
The following steps are the steps I follow for each session
• An overview of Hypnosis and how it works. After this presentation, you will know more about the truth of Hypnosis than 99% of the general public.
• Discuss your smoking pattern, onset and root cause.
• Recommend a program which will most rapidly assist you in achieving your goal.
• Answer your questions so you are comfortable with the idea of Hypnosis and feel good about your relationship with your Hypnotist.
• Then the actual Hypnosis session will begin. You will be guided into a deep state of physical and mental relaxation. You will feel very relaxed, yet remain extremely alert mentally. You will be aware of everything going on around you.
Suggestions for the change you desire will then be given to your powerful subconscious mind. These suggestions will be retained by your subconscious and become a part of you. The old programming, which was keeping you from achieving your goals or which was causing a problem is removed, allowing you to accomplish goals and eliminate problems.
You will then be emerged from Hypnosis with strong suggestions of good health and positive attitude. You will feel better than you have for a very long time. These suggestions will continue to last, yet may need to be reinforced.
Everyone wants to know the number of sessions required. Using a systematic approach, the majority of people need 4-6 sessions for a specific issue. Five sessions is the average number of sessions required to create permanent and lasting results. Many hypnotherapists state that one one-hour session is all that is required to quit smoking. However, with only one one-hour session 95% of people start smoking again after six to eighteen months. Why? The answer is the emotional reason the person started smoking can not be removed in only one session. In order for the majority of people to cease smoking forever, the root cause that prompted them to smoke needs to be removed, thus an average of five sessions is required.
The fee for a hypnosis session for smoke cessation varies from $75.00 to $300.00, depending on practitioner and area.
