Steph* had smoked for most of her adult life. Smoking formed part of her day-to-day routine at work and many of her friends smoked so it was also a big part of her social life. Steph had tried to stop smoking numerous times but the interventions either didn’t work or she stopped for a short time only to find when she was in a certain situation, she related with smoking, the cravings were too great.

Steph came to see me in lead up to her retirement. She had taken up painting and really wanted that to be a focus of her retirement. I saw Steph for 3 hypnotherapy sessions and she stopped smoking after the first session. I worked with Steph to understand the motivations for her change, and in hypnosis we replaced her beliefs about smoking with her new intentions about having a healthy lifestyle and a focus on her art.

Steph contacted me about 18 months later and said:

I haven’t smoked since our sessions and I am so delighted. I wouldn’t have been able to carry on with my art, because of the cost of the materials, if I was still smoking.

You are my miracle worker, thank you
