After my hypnosis session with Suzanne I was able to stop smoking without a craving immediately. In fact even having people around me smoking does not bother me. I am amazed at how a simple hypnosis session has helped me change my life. I feel more healthy and energetic. Thank You Suzanne, Wayne S,Lowell.

I have been receiving phone calls for smoking cessation -where the smoking cessation is the presenting problem but is not the real problem.

What do I mean by that? It is true that people smoke because they feel that it relaxes them, but it does not relax them because nicotine is a stimulant. In many cases, what smoking really does is help to cover up other issues that they are not dealing with. Continue »

A gentleman recently called me for smoking cessation, however that was not the only reason he was calling. He knew that he had some larger issues that were keeping him from living a happy and fulfilled life. He was underemployed, doing work that he found boring, yet he had no idea what else he could do with himself. He was gay and realized it while he was a young teen. For most of his young life he did what he needed to in order to keep the secret from his family. Continue »

I just had a client who decided it was time to give up smoking again and wants it to work for the long term. She was waking up every morning coughing for longer periods of time, and it was obvious that her body was trying to tell her that she was poisoning herself and that she needed to quit. She was also sick of using her energy to figure out how she was going to fit in smoking while her grandchildren visit or being with all her friends who are now non-smokers. Continue »

I know that many of you out there are sick and tired of spending $5.00 or more for a pack of cigarettes, especially when you figure out how much of that cost is supposedly additional taxes to cover health risks and educational programs.

As a practicing Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner as well as an Advanced Clinical Hypnotist, I can tell you that it only takes one session to let go of this rather expensive and disgusting habit. Smoking is not an addiction as the medical community would like you to think. It is a Pavlovian Stimulus Response mechanism that you have created that puts the thought into your head that it is time to smoke yet another one of those butts. Like when you wake up in the morning and you think that it would feel relaxing to have a cigarette, or with your coffee (and/or breakfast) and than after lunch and after dinner and on and on and on till you have smoked your personal quota of cigarettes. It does not matter if you are working or on vacation, does it? You still smoke the same amount, if you actually think about it, don’t you? So the rationalization of stress release is out. Continue »

If the ever-increasing taxes on cigarettes were not enough, we hear that cities and towns are making smokers lives more frustrating, as the representatives go about outlawing smoking in their communities. Perhaps you are at a point in your life where you would like to give up on this habit for the above reasons. Or perhaps your health is of concern. We know that smoking tobacco is dangerous to our health. Perhaps you are tired of being out of breath, smelling of smoke, or sick of having ashtrays full of butts around your house. Continue »
