Side effects to stopping smoking by willpower alone - Stress

What to expect if you stop smoking by willpower alone

Someone who tries to stop smoking by willpower alone, may find that cigarettes creep back into their thoughts at times of stress.  Over 60% of smokers say that they smoke to relieve stress.

When to expect it

If someone has tried to stop smoking by willpower alone, they may find themselves tempted in times of stress, for the first few weeks after they stop smoking.

Why does it happen?

Over their years of smoking, their mind has formed a link between stress and smoking.  So when they are in a stressful situation, the link triggers a desire to smoke.

What you can do to help yourself

Apart from the obvious one, of avoiding stressful situations, you could consider a session of stop smoking hypnotherapy with me! - See below for an explanation.

Why my clients find it easier

The 'need' to smoke comes from the individual's subconscious mind, weighing up the benefits of smoking, against the benefits of not smoking. 

The stop smoking hypnotherapy session sets about to change the subconscious balance, so that the person has no desire to smoke, because their subconscious mind finds that the benefits of not smoking, greatly outweigh the 'benefits' of smoking.

When this process happens, the mechanisms supporting these 'withdrawal symptoms' are no longer there.

As part of the stop smoking hypnotherapy session, you will be taken through some very powerful relaxation techniques.  Using similar techniques to the ones you will have learned naturally as part of the session, will allow you to get, and use effectively, some ‘down-time’ for yourself.

Stop Smoking Testimonials

 

"Hi Paul, hope you are well,

Just wanted to let you know it's been a week now since my therapy and I haven't smoked. In fact in a way it feels like I've never smoked.

I haven't had any cravings and I have no problem being around other smokers. The therapy has worked so well for me, I feel great and things in my life seem to be coming together nicely.

I have recommended you to 3 of my close friends.

I will continue to recommend you to people who could benefit from your treatment as I am over the moon with results I have seen in myself."

...a stop smoking client from Hitchin

 

"You’ve completely cured my lack of willpower and confidence"

... a stop smoking client from Essex

 

"I was going to get back to you earlier but decided to wait until i had been through everything and still not smoked.

It's been 5 weeks and i still have not smoked, i haven't even had a craving!!

I dont know how you've done it and im sure a lot of it is to do with wanting to give up, i have been on holiday, been to family gatherings and all my family smoke, and even had emotional upset and i cannot believe that through all that i have not had the urge to have a cigarette.

I wanted to say thanks "

A stop smoking client from Bedfordshire

 

"She stopped smoking so easily after coming to see you, that I've come as well, because I want the same for me."

...a stop smoking client from Warwick
