Smoking cessation therapy explained

Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. It is responsible for around 78,000 deaths each year and increases your chance of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. Some may be fatal, and others can cause irreversible long-term damage to your health.Stopping smoking can be difficult, many people get trapped in an endless cycle of trying to quit and taking it up again. Smoking is both physical and psychological – it affects both mind and body. Giving up is not easy, this is where we can help.

Physical and psychological dependence

Nicotine is the addictive substance found in cigarettes; there are two strands to nicotine dependency that make successful quitting so difficult.The physical side is well documented: cravings, irritability, low mood, and lack of concentration. Although these symptoms can feel insurmountable at the time, they peak relatively early and gradually disappear.A psychological dependency can be just as hard to overcome as a physical dependency. We will work with you to uncover and understand your triggers, habits and behaviours. For example, why do you always have a cigarette at the end of a meal? Or do you smoke to calm your nerves, overcome shyness, or even boredom? By understanding these triggers we can increase your success rate of quitting for good.

A smoking cessation therapy case study

Jim had been smoking about 40 cigarettes per day for more than 20 years and was quite sceptical about hypnotherapy to start with. However, he was very keen to stop smoking due to the impending arrival of his first grandchild. He had tried various methods with limited success.He came in for one 2-hour session which consisted of a discussion about his typical smoking habits followed by a tailored hypnosis session which took into account his scepticism, as well as his specific smoking habits and aspirations. Jim was also provided with both a hypnosis CD to take home and an individual action plan of practical strategies and advice.Jim has now been a non-smoker for over two years and reports no withdrawal symptoms or weight gain.

Together, our network of therapists have treated thousands of patients
