No one can force you to stop smoking if you do not want to quit. But if you are ready to put the habit behind you,hypnosis can help you make the transition from smoker to ex-smoker more comfortably and confidently. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that smokers are two to three times more likely to quit when they have support than when they try to quit on their own.
Hypnotherapists,Karen Maleck-Whiteley and Carol Woodliff,provide support and develop individualized programs for each client. Before you even come to our office,you fill out a comprehensive assessment questionnaire to help us tailor your hypnosis experience to your needs. We help you develop you plan for success,utilize hypnosis techniques to help you modify your behavior,and provide support through those first smoke-free weeks when relapse is the most likely. A home reinforcement CD is included in all WMW Group Smoking cessation programs.
We know that many people come to hypnosis hoping we will have the magic wand that will take away all desire for cigarettes. There are many hypnotists who promise magical results. We are much more realistic and supportive in our claims. For some one hypnosis session may be enough to help them quit,but for the majority of our clients,we recommend a program of sessions to help you lock in the desire to remain smoke free.
