Stop Smoking Cornwall

Nicotine is not addictive
Smoking is
If you have tried patches, gums, inhalers, cutting down or cold turkey, they probably haven’t worked because ... the physical addiction of nicotine is a very minor part of the problem, therefore patches etc. are ineffective.
Only 5 - 10% of smokers manage to give up with Nicotine Replacement Therapy.
The mental addiction of smoking is a very major part, that’s where hypnosis comes in. Well over 95% give up with my Smoking Cessation programme.
This is why, for most people, gums, patches and inhalers are not able to stop the habit, because the problem is a mental one and lies within the inner closed part of our mind known as the subconscious.
Mental Programming
We construct these programs in the mind through habitual repetition. If we do the same thing often enough, that thought pattern then gets imprinted in the mind. Then it goes onto ‘automatic’ and starts to control us!
The subconscious responds to circumstances around us. Example: Perhaps you find that whenever the kettle goes on, you ‘automatically’ reach for your packet of cigarettes, and without hardly realising it, you find yourself sat down with a cuppa in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
So, what happened? The act of putting the kettle on activated a ‘light up trigger’. These triggers are unique to each smoker, another common one might be after a meal or when you jump into the car.
A ‘light up trigger’ reminds you, with the feeling of a craving, that when you do this, you have a cigarette.
Final thought: How long can you go without a cigarette? A hour? A couple?
OK. So, how many hours do you sleep?
So, it is fairly easy to go that long without a smoke . Why? Because you don’t have any ‘light up triggers’ until the morning.
We use Hypnosis to retrain the mind.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a deep relaxation technique which gives you a similar feeling to daydreaming. It is a perfectly safe, natural state of mind. You don’t go to sleep, can not be made to do anything you don’t want to and you are not under the Therapists control.
What does Hypnosis do?
Hypnosis allows communication with the subconscious mind. Here we can retrain our thought processes to respond differently to ‘light up triggers’.

Effective Ways to Stop Smoking and Reduce Weight.
If all the diets you have ever tried have not helped then it is time to try something different, something that will work for you. If you have tried to stop smoking and nicotine replacement patches have been a waste of time and money then why not look for a better alternative.
Launceston Hypnotherapist Andrew Hillsdon has practised in the area for 15 years and is well known for his highly successful smoking cessation therapy w...ith results of nearly 100%. He also offers weight management sessions which have helped many people to take control of their weight issues.
Andrew recommends a choice of two programs to help control weight and this is based on your BMI or Body Mass Index. There is a formula, explains Andrew, to work out an individuals BMI based on their height and weight and you can work out your own using the calculator on his web site www.hypnotherapysouthwest.co.uk.
If your BMI value is below 25 then this is considered to be in the normal weight range. If it is between 25 and 30 then this indicates being overweight and Andrew would suggest his single 90 minute weight management session which will help to retrain your thinking processes to approach food in a different way.
Anyone who has a BMI value of 30 or more is categorised as being obese and for this situation another approached is needed, the Hypno Virtual Gastric Band. This method has proved to be very effective and clinical trials have returned success rates of up to 95% which is actually greater than a surgical Gastric Band operation. Andrew provides this second method in a program of three 90 minute sessions.
Whether it is time to stop smoking forever or to take control of your weight or if you would like more information, please contact Andrew on 01409 211559 or visit www.hypnotherapysouthwest.co.uk.
