HYPNOSIS WORKS
The use of hypnosis as a method to help people stop smoking has become a proven, reliable therapy. Back in 1958 the AMA stated hypnosis was a useful tool and it has only gotten better since then. Reliance on willpower more often then not results in disappointment. When smokers try to stop with other methods they may suffer misery, craving and depression caused by feelings that they are being deprived of their pleasure or a crutch. For a person to be successful to stop smoking one important requirement is necessary and that is you must want to get rid of the smoking habit for you. If you truly desire to stop smoking and you can honestly say, “I don't like you and I don't want you in my life anymore." Then with hypnosis you can have the greatest chance of becoming a healthy non-smoker for the rest of your life.
The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use it, is that it completely removes any need, or even the desire to smoke. You won't require useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. All you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax. It doesn't get much easier than that!
The Genesis Hypnosis Stop Smoking Program works by eliminating the desire to smoke. And in its place it will be filled with positive suggestions conducive to good health and well-being. It is more agreeable to be rid of something that isn't wanted than it is to give up something once perceived as pleasurable. Take a moment and imagine your benefits as a non smoker!
Imagine how healthy you would feel every day if you were no longer taking in cigarette smoke, with all its deadly carcinogenic poisons into your body.
Imagine how much younger, more fit and attractive you would become if your body's processes were working to optimize your health and energy rather than being damaged daily.
Imagine how happy and confident you would feel, knowing that you had lengthened your life by years or if not decades, knowing that you had greatly improved your chances of avoiding life threatening illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease.
Imagine how many extra thousands of dollars you could spend on the things you really love - things which would actually improve the quality of your life, and not undermine it.
Imagine all the new places you could go, the things you could do, the people you could meet.
Just imagine...

The Two Main Reasons People Smoke:
1) Identification: (Or modeling - indulging in smoking because others whom you admire smoke.) Identification smoking is the most common and the easiest to eliminate.
2) Replacement: (Smoking to replace a perceived deficit. For example: a lack of companionship, love, acceptance, self-esteem, security or independence; or to replace another habit such as overeating, or a reaction to anxiety or boredom, etc.) Replacement smokers often derive sensual and/or ritualistic gratification from smoking. They enjoy touching or feeling the cigarettes, taping the pack, watching the flame of the lighter, the curling of rising smoke, or the smell of the burning tobacco. Replacement smoking can be the more powerful addiction.

The Nature of Smoking
Since smoking is both physical and mental, success in a stop smoking effort must change not only the mental attitude but the physical reaction. For instance, aversion techniques can produce dramatic results. Through hypnosis it is possible to change the taste of a cigarette from pleasurable to unpleasant. When this is accomplished problems often related to the cessation of smoking tend to be avoided. When a smoker gives up the ingestion of something awful, there are no withdrawal symptoms; and there is no need to compensate for the lack of it through overeating.
Of the many techniques available, the most appropriate for you will be selected based upon our initial intake interview. Our program includes two sessions; that is exclusively devoted to smoking cessation.
It's important to determine what personal needs of yours are being satisfied by smoking. Is it to nurture yourself, to combat loneliness, or for a "pick me up"? Do you believe smoking relieves stress or provides moments of relaxation? Are you smoking to make socializing more comfortable? The more candid you are about when, where and why you smoke, the more effortlessly you succeed at becoming a non smoker through hypnotherapy.
How Hypnosis Helps You Quit
Hypnosis temporarily bypasses the conscious mind and allows access to the subconscious mind. The behavioral changes are then experienced through suggestions. Hypnosis, combined with behavior modification, relaxation techniques, visualization, future pacing, and aversion therapy are powerful techniques to stop smoking. Naturally, your motivation and commitment to stop smoking are essential. What the mind perceive the body can achieve.
Visualization
One of the most powerful attributes of the human psyche is its ability to visualize (or imagine). Hypnotism helps to develop and focus the powers of visualization. Since visualization is often undeveloped in clients, and since it can be learned, hypnosis can serve as a teaching modality.
The ability to visualize oneself as a non-smoker, enjoying new health, energy and vitality, is a major asset. Visualization enables the client to “see” cigarettes as unappealing, bad tasting, foul smelling and revolting. Likewise, it’s possible to picture and sense clean breath, a healthy appearance, and increased sensitivity to taste. Smokers can visualize themselves looking healthier, more active, in better physical condition, breathing easy with stronger, healthier lungs. Through hypnosis, the senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste can all be enhanced and used to modify reactions to achieve goals. |
