WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR DUDLEY HYPNOSIS SERVICE

“The session had a very calming yet positive effect on me. I haven’t smoked since my session. I found the whole experience helpful and would like to thank National Stop Smoking Centres.” NP, Halesowen  ♥♥♥♥♥

Our Dudley hypnotherapist is Sarah Beasley.

Ernest had never really believed that smoking was a bad thing. He did really but he wouldn’t admit it. So when he called us about our Dudley hypnotherapy service, it was as if he was in an argument with himself. He had reached a point, at the age of sixty, where his health was poor. Of course we can never know how much smoking contributes to ill-health, unless it’s specifically smoking related. But by the time he saw our hypnotherapist Ernest understood it wasn’t doing him any good.

A lot of hypnotists subscribe to the idea that you have to want to stop smoking to do so. We don’t. Since no-one has ever satisfactorily defines what ‘want’ means, we look at it differently. Most smokers don’t want to stop, and yet most wish they could. Our hypnotherapists see a lot of smokers but they would all define their desire to stop in a different way.

If it weren’t for his worsening health would Ernest have approached us about hypnosis? Probably not. And here we have the contradiction. Despite all the years of kidding himself, now he was faced with the reality. He still tried to convince himself that smoking wasn’t the problem, but deep down he now knew it was. His doctor tried him on a range of NRPs, none of which helped, and she put that down to him not being motivated. That wasn’t the point. Anyway, having failed with those products Ernest saw our Dudley hypnotist. His motivation still didn’t look good, but we didn’t worry about that. Just coming for hypnotherapy, he was half way there.

And of course he did stop smoking. Interestingly, when we spoke to him afterwards he expressed some doubt that he had stopped, despite not smoking! We could see that the years of believing in smoking were pulling him in the wrong direction. We talked about this, but his ability to understand what was happening was limited. So we had him back for a follow-up hypnosis session, and his attitude improved markedly.

Hypnosis might not be what you’re looking for. If not, and you want to take pharmaceutical products to stop smoking, we suggest you see your GP.. You can also visit the NHS Smokefree in Dudley website here.
