Stop Smoking Hypnosis | Alpha Hypnotics

Some Basic Stop Smoking FACTS

Most smokers want to stop smoking
About 90% of smokers cite health reasons as their prime motivator
Although financial reasons only are cited by the next group, this group rarely quits smoking
50% of smokers will make at least one attempt to stop smoking each year
British Studies show that only about 2-3% of smokers succeed without help

Hypnotherapy has a high success rate: “It is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit.” – New Scientist v136.

In 1992 New Scientist Magazine published the results of an extensive clinical study on the most effective methods of quitting smoking. By statistically combining the results of more than 600 studies (over 72,000 individual cases) their analysis indicated that single session hypnosis increased a smoker’s success chance by 1000% from 6% to 60%. The study indicated the following success rates for four different quitting methods:

60% – Single session Hypnosis
24% – Acupuncture
10% – Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
6% – Willpower Alone

Why quit smoking?

It is never too late to stop.
Every form of smoking, including smoking marijuana, causes lung damage, which will often not become evident until later in life.
It is estimated that after the age of 35-40 years, smokers lose 3 months of life expectancy for each year of smoking.
Non smokers are happier people in the long term.
Nicotine narrows your blood vessels thus decreasing blood and oxygen flow.
Nicotine also increases the amount of deposits that build up on the inside walls of your arteries. This increases your blood pressure and can lead to chronic blood clots. High blood pressure and blocked arteries are both high risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

The Virtual Hypnosis Method

We at Alpha Hypnotics utilize the Virtual Hypnosis® method together with Ericsonian Hypnosis, Ideo-Ego Dynamics® and Emotional Freedom technique.

How is the program different?

The program offered by Virtual Hypnosis® differs in that it delves into both the subconscious and conscious mind and addresses the problem from within. It deals with the reasons why you smoke and helps you to reprogram your thinking about smoking rather than simply trying to deal with the symptoms only.

How long is the program?

You should be prepared to attend for between 50 to 90 minutes as your therapist will need to conduct tests, obtain details relative to your smoking habits and to initiate therapy. The quit smoking program is a highly successful package incorporating hypnosis and other therapeutic processes.

Most clients only need one session to quit smoking for good!

Alfred is wonderful. I saw him for weight loss and he helped me with so much more than that. In four weeks I lost over 7kg, have changed my relationship with food and exercise, have a clearer mind, feelmuch happier, and have let go of some anger I didn't realise I was still holding on to. I have now recommended many of my friends and family because this therapy is truly amazing. Thank you for changing my life, Alfred!

Georgia Brodrick

I saw Alfred to recover repressed memories from an extremely traumatic incident. He handled me with care, made me feel comfortable and gave me so much clarity and closure on the incident.I could not recommend him any more, he helped with my healing and growth more than I ever could have imagined!

Maria Natale

I was so impressed with Alfred. He was amazing and I can’t believe I did not smoke again from the moment I finished my session with him. I was so sceptical as I still enjoyed smoking. It’s been nearly 2 weeks smoke free !! Thank you Alfred.

Alfred is a very experienced hypnotherapist. Our professional business association spans more than 12 years. Over those years I have referred many clients to him for anxiety, depression, quitting smoking or addictions and for weight management. Those clients have all commented on Alfreds calm and soothing approach and relayed the experience was enjoyable. I highly recommend Alfred for all your hypnotherapy needs.

Alpha Hypnotics.I saw Mr. Alfred Podhorodecki about issues which I had been trying to deal with unsuccessfully for some time. Alfred displayed empathy and understanding and through his skill and professional approach I was able to bring about many positive changes within myself. Since then, I have excelled.The things that hampered, and limited me, no longer do so.I am grateful to Mr. Alfred Podhorodecki, for his experience, skills, talents in Clinical Hypnotherapy and the many things he taught me to enhance my life.
