Hypnosis and Habit Breaking
Lose Weight, Stop Smoking and More
Everyday Jeremy helps
people just like you to take back control of their lives by breaking
frustrating habits.
Stop Smoking with Hypnosis
Tired of being controlled by
cigarettes? Tried to quit on your own and just couldn't manage
it? Perhaps you became too cranky or anxious. Or, maybe you couldn't
resist the temptation when around your friends who smoke! Or,
maybe you managed to stay
off the cigarettes only to watch yourself gain weight! Then started
again, just to keep it off.
Two Phase Approach
Persistent habits that you
cannot break on your own generally have two parts. The first part is
the habitual behaviour. This might be in the form of routines or
associations. Routines, or rituals are when you always do something at
a particular time of the day. Associations are when you connect the
habit with something else you might be doing. For example, biting your
nails while watching TV, or smoking while on the phone. Smoking and
drinking is one association that is very common. Gambling and drinking
is another common association.
Secondly, most addictive habits
have an emotional component. Hypnotherapy can work very well in
eliminating the feelings of being drawn towards whatever your habit
might be. In other words, hypnotherapy can eliminate the urge.
Hypnotherapy Deals with
Unconscious Factors
The great thing about hypnosis is
that it allows access to the unconscious part of the mind where the
cause of the habit and urge can be located, leading to
elimination of the urge and habitual behaviour. Ceasing any habit then
becomes so easy, (as clients often put it).
End Compulsive Eating or Smoking
Any complusive habit, including eating
and smoking, often has at the cause a negative emotion, like anxiety,
depression, loneliness, boredom or even stress. In order to cope with
these feelings, people will usually reach for something that disctracts
their mind. Some people say they even 'zone out' when engaging in their
compusive habit, including smoking and eating. This zoning out is a
form of escape from the feelings. Hypnosis helps to deal directly with
the negative feelings leading to a change in behaviour and mood, and an
elimination of the habit. Read more

Therapeutic Approach Means Lasting Change
Hypnosis can do two things.
Firstly, it can help you with any feelings that are driving your
towards any kind of distructive habitual behaviour, be it eating,
smoking, drug taking or even nail biting. (There is no limit to what
the habit could be). The second thing it can do is simply change the
habitual behaviour. You then
become free from your old habit.
Because habits usually have at
least two components, we recommend that you expect to have at least two
to three hypnosis sessions, a minimum of one for the breaking of the
associations, and a minimum of one session to redirect the behavior
toward something more satisfying. For example, when you feel bored,
your response becomes find something
fun or interesting to do or learn. This also applies to many
addictions including alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction, compulsive
shopping,
or sexual addictions.

XXXXX
Thanks Jeremy
I
haven't bitten my nails since my first visit to you and really feel
like I've
broken the
habit. They are starting to grow quite long now which is a
first for me
and I'm really happy with the results. In fact I feel great.
I really must
thank you for enabling me to break my life long habit. I am
very
grateful, still baffled but as we discussed, it works so don't analyse
it too much!
