NYC Stop Smoking Hypnosis New York - Smoking Cessation Hypnotherapy Plan for Smokers - Manhattan Location
Can hypnosis really work for quitting smoking? Recently Ben Affleck told Oprah exactly how he did it using hypnosis. Ellen Degeneres quit the habit using hypnosis as did Matt Damon. Drew Barrymore kicked the habit as did Charlize Theron all with hypnosis.
There are innumerable choices out there for someone seeking hypnosis to stop smoking and it's often difficult to sort through them to detect which would be best suited for you. I have taken the liberty of posting some information here as to my own approach to smoking cessation and how it may differ from other stop smoking hypnosis plans out there.
In a review of 17 studies, it was found that long-term abstinence from smoking was most effective when several hours of treatment are combined with personalized suggestions that are tailored to the individual's desires for ending the habit, followed up with additional sessions. Given this approach, 55% to 66% of smokers remained abstinent for at least 6 months.
In contrast, when a one-session technique was used, utilizing a brief clinical history of the smoker combined with more general hypnotic suggestions such as "You owe your body this respect and protection," etc., the follow-up data revealed that only 20% out of the 615 people sampled were not smoking 6 months after the single session.
My Approach
Quit Smoking Hypnosis New York - A Tested and Proven Approach to Smoking Cessation
When smokers call me seeking to quit, I am often asked why so many sessions? The simple reason: it works. Some quit smoking programs may also be eligible for a tax deduction. Be certain to check with the I.R.S. to see if you are eligible.
Stopping smoking is about far more than fighting a nicotine habit. Hypnosis is an extremely powerful modality, however it is not magic. Ending a 20-year habit may take more than 90 minutes. Stopping smoking is more importantly about a change of outlook; the positive re-inforcement given to you in my sessions and uniquely tailored suggestions to your specific needs will preevent a relapse, and perhaps most importantly, give you the tools to reduce your stress in the future. One of the reasons people fail so often when they attempt to quit the habit is because they attempt to do so at a time in their life filled with other stressors --- be it work, personal life or finances. The added stress of quitting smoking can then prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Hence, smoking eventually resumes. One thing I do during this stop smoking program is to give the client methods in which to deal with that stress so that they are less likely to use the crutch of smoking again as a release valve, instead providing you with tools to create your own release valve.
Quit Smoking Hypnosis New York - The 2-3 Session Approach
I work with smokers in a variety of ways depending upon what works best for them. Many respond well after only a few 90-minute sessions. As everyone is different, a more comprehensive stop smoking approach is also available.
Telephone Sessions
I am available for telephone sessions by appointment. These sessions are held similar to those in my office by first spending a half an hour consulting with you regarding your complaint and your background. After getting to know a bit about you, we will then begin a course of hypnosis to specifically tackle these problems as they affect your life in particular. Everyone handles stress, habits, and crises differently. By partnering with you, I will develop suggestions to eliminate the unwanted behavior that has been negatively affecting you once and for all.The Cost of Smoking Cessation Hypnosis Sessions vs. Your Health
Many individuals who come to me seeking to stop smoking often do not follow through because they are concerned about the cost of the program. For that reason, please allow me to put the program into perspective for you.
Here is a very quick and easy way to put the monetary cost of my hypnosis smoking cessation program and the monetary cost of smoking into a simple formula for you.
1 pack of cigarettes per day =$7.50 per day.
$7.50 x 7 days= $52.50$52.50 (1 week) x 4 = $210.00
$210.00 (1 month) x 6 = $1260.00
Many people who seek to stop smoking begin first by trying the nicotine chewing gum. Unfortunately, too often smokers become addicted to chewing the gum instead of smoking a cigarette, thus continuing the habit albeit in a different form. The same is true of the popular nicotine patches.
Other things to consider are: The recommended usage chart for nicotine gum recommends a minimum of 518 pieces of gum over a 10-week period, and most people use it for longer or get addicted to it. The cost of 7 refills of nicotine gum or 10 refills of the patch, are no more expensive than my smoking cessation program.
The truth about nicotine (which of course the makers of the patch and the gum will never tell you) is that nicotine leaves the body within 48 hours. Despite popular belief, it is not the nicotine that "hooks" a smoker and causes the cravings so many smokers experience when attempting to quit. It is the psychological conviction that the smoker needs the cigarette.
I would be happy to discuss any questions you may have regarding hypnosis or your specific needs.
