Stop Smoking - Alternative Treatment Ireland

Hypnotherapy for smokingA great number of people find hypnotherapy for smoking an effective treatment. The method works to break the negative behaviours and thinking patterns associated with smoking. The thoughts and behaviours the smoker holds is often what prevents them from successfully giving up. When a person makes the decision to stop smoking, the key aspect is to let go of the routine and change their perspective of cigarettes. Breaking an addiction like this is a challenge. Many people find changing how they think about something difficult. As hypnotherapy focuses on this change, it is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of treatment. When considering stop smoking hypnosis, the first thing the person has to do is make sure you are choosing to quit for YOURSELF. Hypnosis for smoking has been found to be most effective when the person really wants to quit.

How does hypnosis for weight loss work?Hypnotherapy for weight loss is becoming increasingly accepted, and people all over the world are finding it a beneficial means of maintaining a healthy weight in the long-term. Despite its growing popularity however, hypnosis for weight loss is still met with some skepticism. Many people are still unsure about what hypnotherapy involves and how it works.  It is useful to know that during hypnosis you will not:be out of controlbe asleepbe told to do anything you don't want to dohave your memory erasedbe forced to reveal your deepest darkest secrets. What happens during hypnosis for weight loss?I am essentially a coach. I will guide you into a state of deep relaxation.Once your body and mind are in relaxation mode (much like a daydream), I will be able to access your unconscious mind (the part of us that works all the time but that we're not necessarily aware of, i.e. innate instincts and survival mechanisms).Soothing, carefully worded scripts can be used to explore a your reasons for overeating and suggest new ways of thinking through visualizations. You have the control to reject any suggestions you don't feel happy with without any guidance from me.Over time - and a series of weight loss hypnotherapy sessions - you will learn how to replace your negative habits and eating patterns with positive ones.

Gastric band hypnosisEvery surgery comes with a certain degree of risk, and gastric band surgery is no exception. Gastric band hypnosis can be used to help people lose weight, without this risk. Many hypnotherapists use a two-pronged approach. First they look to identify the root cause of your emotional eating. Using hypnosis, the therapist can encourage you to remember long-forgotten experiences surrounding food that may subconsciously be affecting you now. Addressing and recognising any unhealthy thought patterns surrounding food can be helpful before carrying out gastric band hypnotherapy. Next the hypnotherapist will carry out the virtual gastric band treatment. The premise behind the procedure is to convince you at a subconscious level that you have had an operation to insert a gastric band. The aim is that your body responds to this suggestion by making you feel fuller quicker, as if you had the real surgery. How it worksUsing relaxation techniques a hypnotherapist will put you into a state of hypnosis. In this relaxed state, your subconscious is open to suggestion. At this point hypnotherapists use specialist techniques to make suggestions. With virtual gastric band hypnotherapy, this suggestion is that you’ve had a physical gastric band fitted. The mind is powerful, so if you’re subconscious accepts these suggestions, your behaviour will change accordingly. Usually, along with the ‘fitting’ of the virtual gastric band, suggestions surrounding confidence and behaviour will be made to help you commit to this change in lifestyle. Many therapists will also teach self-hypnosis techniques so you can enhance the work you’ve done following the session. Educating yourself on nutrition and exercise is advised too as this will encourage weight loss and boost health.

My smoking cessation programme involves three visits to see. Your first session is consultation and preparation. I will explain how the programme works and start you on your preparations to quit smoking. This will involve cutting down your intake and making other changes to your smoking pattern. The following session is your quit day. You will have your last cigarette before you see me and then you will experience your one on one hypnotherapy session. Once that is complete you will leave with a copy of the hypnosis session on C.D which you will listen to once a day for about a week to ten days. Your follow up appointment will then be scheduled. The best way to describe the importance of the repeated listening to the recording is to compare it to an anti-biotic. You do not expect the anti-biotic to make you better when you take the first dose. You take it for the prescribed period with your health returning at the end of the medication. The C.D works in the same manner. Listen to it for the prescribed period of time to maximise your chances of long term smoke freedom. The programme includes a one year back up programme. Quite simply if you have any problems over the following 12 month period you are welcome to come back and see me at no extra charge. Hypnotherapy is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective methods to achieving ‘Smoke Freedom’
