OUR TORQUAY HYPNOTHERAPY AFTERCARE

Here’s a snippet from the book. There are lots of pages you can read for free. We suggest you do this before you come to our Torquay hypnosis branch.

….. OK, so much for that, but here you are, feeling good about yourself, thinking yes, this bloke might actually know what he’s talking about, sorry I doubted him, but where do you go from here? How do you stop smoking the last few?

Well, as you know, the last four are the ones you need to smoke to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Those last four represent your addiction to nicotine, and they are going to be the hardest to let go of. I could kid you it’s going to be easy but I won’t, but don’t worry, we’re going to go through this together. Alright, it’s going to hurt you more than it hurts me, but come on, are you really afraid of a little pain?

You are? Well, I don’t blame you, but look, you’re actually closer to your goal than you might think. You see, although I go on about addiction and withdrawal, it’s not that simple.

Withdrawal is a purely physiological reaction, and yes, it lasts for four days, but it’s so closely connected with your psychological dependence that normally when people try to stop smoking their psychological dependence actually makes the withdrawal symptoms worse. That might not be strictly true medically, but even so there is a measurable effect. When you are afraid to stop smoking, the withdrawal symptoms might be worse, or at the very least you might feel them more. It makes sense, don’t you think?
