Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy - One-to-One Sessions

"I want to stop smoking, how many sessions do I need?"

Article by Paul Douglass
Co-Author of 'The EASY Guide to Anxiety and Therapy'

I get e-mails all the time from people who are thinking about using hypnotherapy and hypnosis to stop smoking, who want to know how many sessions it usually takes.

As mentioned elsewhere on this website, whenever we think of helping to change any habit or other behaviour (like stopping smoking), we've got to take into consideration the part that the emotions are playing in it all.

For example, if someone is generally quite a happy, well adjusted, content, and 'stable' person, who genuinely wants to stop smoking, then usually, a single one-to-one session with a well trained hypnotherapist should be enough to help them to stop smoking.

One-to-One Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Sessions

It usually only takes one session to stop smoking.

One time that it might take more is when someone has something like an underlying anxiety / stress issue, in which case I’d use a different type of therapy (Pure Hypnoanalysis), to deal with the anxiety first!

Smoking as a Coping Mechanism for Anxiety and Stress

Sometimes, people will smoke to help them cope with anxiety or stress.

That's not to say that there is anything about smoking that physically relieves stress, but it can often be something as simple as an excuse to get out of work, or away from the kids for 10 minutes that seems to relieve the stress.

For that person, although suggestion hypnotherapy (the sort of hypnotherapy used in the single session approach) can still work, it might be an idea to think about ways to relieve the stress and the anxiety first, and tackling the smoking later.

For someone who is experiencing a lot of stress of anxiety, or any other emotional issue for that matter, it might be worth considering a course of Pure Hypnoanalysis first, to resolve that anxiety or emotion.

Motivation

At the other end of the spectrum, where someone is generally a happy person, who just happens to want to stop smoking, and feels that they generally need a bit of a motivation... something like a stop smoking CD, could be all the help they need. Our own mp3 stop smoking hypnosis download could help.
