how effective is hypnotherapy?
Trained in methods used in Harley Street we are using a new method of smoking cessation which is proving to have exceptional rates of success.
Hypnotherapy has already been proven as the best method of stopping smoking by a meta analysis conducted at Iowa University by Viswesvaran & Schmiidt involving 72,000 subjects which was featured in the New Scientist magazine. This study looked at many different ways to stop smoking and Hypnotherapy was shown to be the most effective.
David Pollock, director of ASH, said he was “surprised by the success of hypnosis”, which anecdotal evidence had suggested was not very effective. One organisation not surprised by the results is the British Society of Medical & Dental Hypnosis. Christopher Pattinson, the society's academic chairman, said that “current hypnosis techniques are a far cry from their popular image of music-hall tricks involving swinging fob watches. The latest relaxation techniques achieve success rates of up to 60 per cent from a single session.”
How does hypnotherapy work with smoking?
- Hypnotherapy is a state of deep relaxation, similar to the state you are in just before you go to sleep. We use suggestion at the sub-conscious level to alter your thought processes in line with your desired goal. In this case, to stop smoking forever.
- The therapy is carried out with your mind and body in a state of complete relaxation so the usual signs attributed to giving up smoking e.g. irritability, mood swings and bad temper are rarely seen. The process is quick, simple and long lasting.
- We offer a service focusing on 2 main objectives; the main session to stop you smoking and a further booster session to help make your changes permanent.
