What if you're skeptical about quitting smoking?

 Are your kids bothering your about smoking?


Are you looking to Quit Smoking Melbourne soon? 


Have you been skeptical in the past about hypnotherapy or if it could work for you? 

These days, hypnotherapy has evolved into a client centered approach. 


We understand nicotine addiction, but we also understand stress, habits and other triggers. 
We also know that you need to feel comfortable with the process before you get hypnotized to quit smoking. 


That's why hypnotherapists, these days, have turned our programs into consultations first and hypnosis in the second half of the session. Everything gets explained.

What are the Risks of Quitting Smoking?

If you're smoking Nicotine, Marijuana or Vaping, there's a lot in common each way. 


If you want to Quit Smoking Melbourne, either way, you're letting go of a coping mechanism or crutch. 


Marijuana is a little different from Nicotine, as it asks somewhat as a tranquilizer, however, there's little to no risk in quitting. 


After 14 years of Clinical Hypnotherapy, (and 14 years smoke free) I can tell you that I didn't have to worry about stress, losing my mind or getting angry after quitting. 

In fact, I just quit and that was that. 


However, if people are using marijuana to help them sleep, they they will need to use a different method to get to sleep. (Often hypnotherapy helps with sleep.) 


Do you want to Quit Smoking Melbourne? Well, why not start now?

How would they take breaks? 

How would they reward themselves? 
How would they enjoy the company of other people?

Chronic Stress and Smoking

 What does Smoking actually do for Chronic Stress? 


Are you interested in Quit Smoking Melbourne

Well, it's easy to see what smoking actually does. 


There is no chemical in cigarettes that reduces stress. 

In fact, Nicotine, Tars and Pesticides are Poisons, some of which increase heart rate. 


But the act of self care, taking five minutes out to breath and to take a break is very therapeutic. 

So why can't people breath for five minutes calmly without smoking? 

Well, they can. 

That's the thing. They can.

Why is Smoking Addictive?

 If you wan to Quit Smoking Melbourne, first it's important to know what causes smoking to be so addictive. 



Smoking is unlike any other poison / drug as it has no positive effects in the short term. 

While the ritual of having a break and breathing can be beneficial, even without smoking...

The poisons from the cigarette do nothing to help people in the short term, and also nothing positive in the long term. 


A drug is usually used to achieve an emotional outcome, from cocaine, marijuana, coffee or alcohol. 

Each of these drugs can create an effect that people often see as desirable. 

However, the poisons in cigarettes don't help people in any way. 


It's all about the habit and the emotional needs being met through the ritual of actually doing the break, doing the breathing and taking the time to re-energise.

Are you breaking up your day, your routine?

Is vaping healthy? Better or Worse than smoking?

 People seem to vape inside, outside and everywhere.

We're in a point in history where, not only do people think that vaping is not unhealthy,

but they think that vaping inside is still acceptable. 


When clients who want to Quit Smoking Melbourne ask me about Vaping, I tell them this. 

The habit of vaping is the same habit of smoking. This means that they haven't cured their habit at all, and it's just as easy to go from smoking to vaping as it is to go from vaping to smoking. 

Another answer I like to give is, breathing that stuff in isn't going to add to their health. 

We're only just now gaining data and studies about the long term harm of vaping. 


If you want to Quit Smoking Melbourne for life, then you really don't want to swap one bad habit for another.

What harm an 1 smoke cause? Quit Smoking Hypnotherapy

If you've ever Quit Smoking Melbourne, and maybe a year later, maybe over seas or on a fishing trip wondered what harm 1 smoke can cause. Then you should know that people who smoke 1 will smoke 2 and then 3 cigarettes and keep going until they become a full time smoker again. 


The problem with the "I can have just 1" logic is that you're always only having just one. The brain sees one as a multiple time repeatable act. 


If you really want to Quit Smoking Melbourne, for life, then you're going to want to have zero cigarettes for life.

14 Years Smoke Free - Quit Smoking Melbourne

 When I first started smoking, it was because I wanted to fit in with my friends. 


I never thought that I would eventually smoke for 10 years. When I wanted to Quit Smoking Melbourne, I just told myself that I would quit soon. 


1 cigarette would lead to another and 10 years past fairly quickly. 
I would wake up coughing, longing to be healthier like my more athletic friends, but couldn't figure out how to Quit Smoking Melbourne



 Eventually after studying clinical hypnotherapy, I have now gone 14 years smoke free. I learned that the chemical addiction isn't a drug, it's a poison. And the emotional needs that smoking was helping me with wasn't actually helping.

How to Quit Smoking Melbourne Hypnotherapy

 Have you heard myths about smoking?


A friend may tell you to use patches to Quit Smoking Melbourne to help you out with the physical cravings. 
Well, think about it like you'd think about coffee. If you'd gone from 8 coffees per day down to 1 coffee per day, would you use a caffeine patch to make up the difference? 

You don't need patches. You just need to give your body time to clear out the poisons. 


Have you heard people say, "I've smoked for too long", it's too hard to Quit Smoking Melbourne now. 

But if that were true, then it's like saying that you're too old to learn at all. 

Imagine if you moved house and said, "I'm too old to learn new streets. When I go to the shops, I have to drive to my old house, and then to the shops because I'm too old to learn." 
Does that sound a bit weird? 

Of course it does. 



Or maybe you've heard people say, "I enjoy it too much to quit", even though their doctor has told them to Quit Smoking Melbourne due to their lung condition? 

How many things do you enjoy in life? 

Maybe 10, 20 or 100? 

What if you loved 10 activities and 9 of them are healthy? 

But one of them is poison.

Can't you just focus on the 9 things that you love to do that aren't poison? 

What are you trying to achieve anyway? 
You're trying to achieve happiness right? 

So just do healthy things that make you happy. 



You can Quit Smoking Melbourne if you want to. 
It just takes the decision to do so.
