Stopping Smoking by Hypnosis For details on Thameside Hypnotherapy practice, please click here. Only one session for about 100 minutes is required to become a non-smoker. Fee: £170 (cash or cheque only) including hypnotic relaxation CD and vitamin C tablets. It will help you to cope better with cravings which will decrease as each day goes by and eventually disappear. After that, you will be naturally put off by cigarettes and forget about smoking. For a successful treatment, it is better to choose the right time to have the treatment, i.e. at least 2 months before or just after stressful events such as Christmas or moving house and socialising events including weddings. Although one live hypnosis session only should be good enough to become a non-smoker, your personalised session will be recorded and either put on to a CD to be taken home with you or sent by e-mail as a downloadable MP3 file which can be listened to on your PC, iPod or mobile phone. You will have backup support at anytime at home, should you go back to your old nasty habit. To make an appointment Please either send me an e-mail to thameside.hypnotherapy@gmail.com with your mobile phone number and time/day you prefer, or call me or leave me a voice mail/text message on 07952 662294 for at least 1 week in advance. I will send you homework and a CD (or a downloadable MP3) to be listened to at least 3 times before the session. This is very important for a successful treatment. The therapist stopped smoking by hypnotherapy in early 2000 after having smoked a packet a day for 23 years. She is now completely free from cravings and does not even want to touch cigarettes. She also feels younger, the healthiest and fittest in her life.   Below is an e-mail received on 14/11/2006 from a former client, age 43 male, who had smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 26 years;   "Dear Reiko For your records. I visited your practice on the 22/07/2006 for a 10:30 to 12:00 appointment. The appointment was for hypnosis with a view to stopping smoking. I know that a second appointment is free within 3 months, and as this has now just expired, I feel that this is a good time to let you know how things are going. I have not smoked, or felt that I would smoke since that appointment.! I did have cravings, and still do albeit very infrequent and mild now. I would like to thank you for the tremendous benefits to my health, marriage, wallet and self esteem. You may be interested to know that I have had several dreams in which I have smoked. The feeling on waking from such dreams is of overwhelming relief. I will let you know how things are at the 6 month stage. Thank you for all your invaluable help."
