Hypnosis to quit smoking

We all know it’s bad for us, but quitting smoking and remaining a non-smoker are some of the hardest things to do, especially using traditional methods. Let’s face it, cigarettes are designed to be addictive, filled with dozens of chemicals to keep us hooked for a (shortened) lifetime.

However strong it may be, this addiction is no match for the power of our minds. NYC-based certified hypnotist Janet Goldman has designed a special hypnosis program to quit smoking. Stop smoking hypnosis programs the mind to put an end to cravings forever. Forget withdrawal or the jittery feelings nicotine patches give, you will never want to smoke another cigarette again- it really is as simple as that!

Certified NYC hypnotist Janet Goldman has an extensive background in hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). While everyone can benefit from hypnosis, each person has their own individual difficulties and blocks and one size does not fit all. The hypnosis for quitting smoking programs are carefully designed to target each client’s specific needs for maximum success.

Our hypnosis to quit smoking process:
- Initial consultation: In order to create the most effective plan for you, during this time we will:

•Examine and understand your history
•Learn what works for you, what doesn’t, and why
- Hypnosis sessions: During these sessions you will be placed into a relaxed and comfortable trance state where the subconscious mind is most receptive to suggestions. The goals of these sessions will be to:

•Reprogram the mind to never want another cigarette again
•Put an end to cravings
•Gain the coping skills and motivation to maintain long term success

Hypnosis (Ericksonian) can help you enter a relaxed, comfortable, trance state for obtaining specific outcomes. Trance is a naturally occurring state in which one's attention is narrowly focused and relatively free of distractions. Hypnosis is not mind control or brainwashing. When you are in a trance state, your conscious mind and all of its mental activity can rest, allowing your unconscious mind to absorb all suggestions to create the changes you desire.


NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a powerful and extremely effective behavioral method for creating healthy interpersonal and Intrapersonal relationships. It also allows you to change, adopt or eliminate limiting beliefs and behaviors, and in turn gives you the ability to choose your mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being. NLP is essentially the study of how your brain makes you behave and feel the way you do. We learn our behavior from our experiences and the people around us as we grow up. This programs our brain to perceive things and to react to the world in a certain way. NLP allows you to understand what these programs are, and then reprogram them. Since behavior is learned, then it can be unlearned.


FAQ

What is holistic healing?
Holistic healing is the process of examining and enriching the ‘whole’ of your well-being. The quality of your physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual facets of your life are in a constant state of evolution; the goal is to have a healthy balance between them. You may only consider diet and exercise as your primary forms of nourishment, yet your everyday activities all play a part in your joy or unhappiness. Consider how you play and have fun, how you connect with others, learn and grow, along with how you've created your home environment, etc. All of these facets in your life play a part in your overall health.

All too often our culture will put a band-aid on a problem with a pill, drugs, or alcohol. Obviously this is not the answer and eventually these strategies prove unsuccessful and counter-productive. By looking at your lifestyle as a whole, we will work together as you make those fundamental changes needed to achieve the right life balance. Change is not always easy, however by taking incremental steps toward improving your life, you will then see transformation in both subtle and dramatic ways.

What happens at our sessions?
Whatever it is you want to change or improve about your lifestyle, habits, relationships, etc., by my asking you challenging questions, we will get to the root of the issues at hand. This process evolves organically and knowing we are all together in this thing called life, I create an environment of trust, calm, and easy communication where you will feel safe to explore all possibilities. I take my work seriously but I also believe it should be fun to explore and grow so I bring a certain levity to our sessions. Laughter is tremendously beneficial to our health and well being!

Are there program time lines?
There are no standard timelines for your specific program. There are no ‘short cuts’ and I can’t perform magic but I will work with you to establish what makes the most sense for your budget and schedule in order for you to achieve your goals.

What is Hypnosis? What will happen to me?
Hypnosis is a concentrated focus inward. You are still aware of your surroundings but in a detached sort of way. The conscious mind is very active and wants answers. It’s very analytical, logical, and asks ‘why’. It wants to understand. The unconscious mind is intuitive, creative, and non-rational. It can balance many ideas at once and is open to all of them simultaneously. Metaphorically speaking, the conscious mind takes a back seat while the unconscious mind drives - you are then more receptive to suggestions.

Trance happens all the time. Have you ever been deep in thought gazing out the window or reading a good book and been so startled when someone lightly taps you on the shoulder? Simply put, you were in trance. Nothing will be ‘done’ to you and you will be conscious throughout the hypnosis work. I will make sure you will be fully comfortable with the process at all times.
