The initial intensive vaping or smoking cessation hypnotherapy / EMDR / NLP session takes around 1.5 hours (1:1) or 1 hr 15 mins (online), there are no side effects and you will be completely in control throughout. Most importantly, if possible, you will be helped to emerge as a non smoker again! Most clients require only one session, a slower paced approach is available for those that want to gradually reduce consumption prior to cessation.
What will happen?
Initially time is spent understanding how you relate to smoking / vaping. One or more blocks of hypnotherapy / EMDR / NLP will then follow during which you will experience a very relaxing trance. After the session you will feel calm, positive and confident.
How does it work?
One of the reasons why hypnosis / EMDR / NLP are so effective is because they remove the unconscious triggers which could have kept you smoking and perpetuated the smoking cycle. Also, in situations where you used to smoke or vape you will be helped to feel calm and confident.
Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness which you can naturally enter so that, for therapeutic purposes, beneficial corrections may be given directly to your unconscious mind. In the case of smoking cessation these corrections change your relationship to smoking and activate inner resources when trigger situations / times are encountered.
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Psychology) is the advanced use of language as well as a series of change techniques that also facilitate rapid change.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an advanced hypnotherapy technique with an impressive track record in terms of generating change rapidly.
The long duration of the session is also deliberate - this allows your body time to generate the signs that you have not smoked for while. As soon as the signs appear we remove them rapidly and easily.
Why is hypnosis / EMDR / NLP so successful?
Other approaches to stopping smoking rely wholly on will power which can be mentally exhausting because you are battling against your unconscious mind. Hypnosis boosts your existing will-power and provides you with alternative ways of thinking. With hypnosis there is less to battle with - the desire, the thought will not occur, or occur less frequently, because the triggers that used to prompt you to smoke will no longer have the same effect.
Hypnosis also provides you with new strategies to help you cope with stress on an ongoing basis and ways to overcome exceptional events.
In addition hypnosis can deal with beliefs such as unwarranted fears of weight gain. Hypnosis deals with the full range of anticipated withdrawal symptoms by replacing them with calmness, confidence and control.
NLP provides ongoing tools they can can be applied to any aspect of your life - not just smoking. During the session you are taught how to use several of the most effective NLP techniques.

- "It was three weeks ago today that I came to see you to become a non-smoker - and I am still a non-smoker. No craving, occasional memory of what a habit it was, but nothing worse. Thank you for helping me get back my freedom..." {Smoking cessation}*
- "Firstly I haven't smoked a cigarette since and the thought of it seems to make me feel ill. I cant even stand the smell now. I think the work that you do is excellent and it was fun too and I felt very relaxed and comfortable throughout. I have had no side effects at all during the cold turkey phase and my eating habits have remained the same.

But most of all stop stinking... :) Carry on your good work its very unique and life changing." {Smoking cessation}*
