Get your mind and body on the same side as your willpower.
When you stop smoking you rely mostly on your willpower to get you through. Statistics show that 50 –75% of smokers will resume smoking within six months of giving up - and it’s not their fault- tobacco contains some very addictive substances (ask at reception for the list!!) and cigarette manufacturers know their trade. So we have devised a smoking package that combines two more parts of you - your mind and your body to assist your resolve to quit.

The package includes two sessions of Hypnotherapy and two sessions of Acupuncture and a Hypnotherapy tape.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful support for smokers who decide to quit. Hypnosis has the ability to quieten the mind and address the decision-making areas in the brain. A hypnotic state is similar to concentrating very hard on one particular task like painting a picture or writing. It is a state where you are fully awake and aware of what is going on but where you can access a deeper part of the mind which can assist in freeing you from habits, fears and unconscious blocks. When stopping smoking it strengthens your resolve, reinforces your reasons for stopping and helps break the habitual pattern.

Acupuncture addresses the physical issues around smoking. The needles are very fine, about the width of two hairs and most people experience them as painless. For stopping smoking they are placed mostly in the hand and lower leg for about 20 mins. Acupuncture assists the body in ridding itself of the toxins you inhale; it works on clearing the lungs and improves the function of the detox system of the body. It calms and relaxes the nervous system, helps with physical cravings and compulsive responses and with replacement activities such as food or sweets.

So far we have had a very high success rate with this treatment, the combination of Hypnotherapy and Acupuncture along with a firm decision to stop smoking, puts your mind and body on the same side as your willpower.
