OUR SHAFTESBURY 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 Shaftesbury hypnotherapist.

….. For another example, if you do smoke a cigarette and it doesn’t taste nice and neither does it make you happier/less stressed/sexier or anything else it promises but doesn’t deliver, instead of saying well look I didn’t give it a chance, I’d better do it again, you will say to yourself that brilliant Handbook said I should ask myself why, why it doesn’t do those things, and the answer is because it can’t, it’s incapable of delivering anything I want, and I’ll put it out and not beat myself up about it. Maybe something like that.

And for yet another example, if you get drunk and smoke and in the morning you realise you’ve bought some and there they are staring at you, instead of thinking well I’ve got them so I might as well smoke them you are going to remember the complete futility of that action because you’ve done it before and instead of making you happy it made you unhappy, and you are going to enjoy throwing them away. Aren’t you?

In other words, you are going to look at why you have started again before, in the boxes above, and you are going to not make the same mistake/s again, because now you have more knowledge, a better understanding of what you did and why, and the way to not start smoking again is to not do the same things again.

If you crashed your car because you were talking on the telephone/eating a sandwich/trying to insert a CD/turning round to talk to the children or any other distraction, you will find it a simple matter to assess the cause of the problem, and the way not to repeat the mistake. Now, you are going to do exactly that kind of analysis with smoking. It is something that in all my years doing this work I have never, not once, heard a smoker say they have ever done.
