Smoking is like a clingy Ex

Smoking is like a clingy Ex that won’t stop bugging you

Smoking is like that clingy ex who just won’t go away – it may seem comforting at first, but it’s really not doing you any favours in the long run.

But let’s be real – quitting smoking is easier said than […]

The good news is that the process to quit vaping is the same as it is for quitting smoking. The reason you vape e-cigarettes is the same reason you smoke. We tackle this with our hypnotherapy program.

Hypnosis… What is it really?

We have all seen those Hypnotist shows on TV or on a stage. The Hypnotist randomly picks people from the crowd
and appears to “make” these people do all sorts of Hilarious things. It is all extremely entertaining and that is what it is meant to be. However, it is a long way from the reality of what happens in a Clinical Hypnotherapy session……

Mindchatter

Sometimes your mind just doesn’t shut up.

I recently talked to someone who has quit smoking, and they were remarking on the mind chatter that is going on. They said that it was constant, and whilst it seemed to go away when they were busy, the moment they were not, the mind chatter returned, and it was really hard to stay on track with quitting.
Smoking is a habit that lies in the unconscious mind, and smokers train themselves well unconsciously to smoke under certain circumstances i.e.: boredom, drinking etc. If this unconscious habit is not addressed in the unconscious […]

Allow yourself to go into Trance

After talking about this I found out that he has a fear of withdrawal symptoms. In the past he has given up but by the […]
