Stop Smoking & Vaping Hypnotherapy in Lancaster
“Why is this so hard to quit?”
“Why do I keep going back to it?”
“How much is smoking costing me?”
Smoking or vaping can become tied into everyday routines, stress, emotions and habits. Even when you genuinely want to stop, it can feel as though the pattern has become automatic.
You may have tried before, stopped for a while and then started again, or found yourself waiting for the “right time” to quit. That can be frustrating, especially when you already know the reasons you want to stop.
You have to want to stop
Hypnotherapy cannot make you stop smoking if you do not want to. The decision to become smoke-free has to come from you.
You may be motivated by your health, the cost of smoking, your family, your lifestyle or simply because you no longer want nicotine to have such a strong hold over your day.
Once you have made that decision, hypnotherapy can be used to support the process by helping you focus on the change you want to make and the habits and thought patterns connected with smoking or vaping.
Changing your relationship with smoking
Nicotine dependence is real, but smoking is also strongly linked with routines and associations. A cigarette or vape may become connected with having a coffee, taking a break, driving, drinking alcohol, feeling stressed or socialising.
Part of the process involves looking at those patterns and understanding how smoking has become reinforced in your everyday life.
Rather than approaching quitting as something you are being deprived of, we focus on why you want to become a non-smoker and what life without smoking or vaping could look like for you.
How hypnotherapy may help
I use Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to support you in working towards your goal of becoming smoke-free.
During the session, we explore the habits, thoughts and associations that have helped maintain the smoking cycle and focus on the reasons you have chosen to stop.
Hypnosis then provides a period of guided relaxation and focused attention, allowing us to reinforce the positive ideas and goals discussed during the session.
The aim is to support your own motivation and commitment rather than suggest that hypnosis can override your choices or guarantee an outcome.
How the Stop Smoking session works
The Stop Smoking session costs £250 and lasts approximately 120 minutes.
Seven days before your appointment, you will receive a preparation sheet and relaxation recording. Listening to the recording each night is an important part of preparing for the session.
During the first part of your appointment, we’ll talk about your smoking or vaping habits, the situations you associate with nicotine and the reasons you want to stop.
The second part involves hypnosis, where I’ll guide you into a relaxed and focused state while reinforcing the goals we’ve discussed together.
You can also view my sessions and prices for more information before booking.
Ready to become smoke-free?
You do not need to feel completely fearless about quitting, but you do need to genuinely want the change.
If you have made that decision, we can work together to support your motivation and help you approach becoming smoke-free with a clearer and more focused mindset.
