Stop Smoking with Hypnosis

Kim Bothwell, CHt.

Certified Hypnotherapist, San Luis Obispo,CA

  "After my session with Kim I tried many times to tempt myself to smoke because I can't believe that I don't want to. Yet, it is as if I have never smoked before."  - Julia, Grover Beach, CA

  "I have considered Kim as my personal Teacher for over 7 years but was reluctant to attempt smoking cessation hypnosis. Silly me, I was a 3-pack a day smoker until 23 years ago when I quit cold. However, 2 years ago I picked up “just one” and was instantly addicted and hooked no matter how much personal or spiritual will power I aimed at myself alone. On 4/1/07 my physician prescribed the latest sure cure “Chantix” medication for smoking cessation. But it did nothing for curing my inner self desire to keep the smoking habit going. On 4/7/07 Kim and I entered into a Quit Smoking hypnosis session via telephone. It took just one hour or so. I have never had any desire to pick up a cigarette again. I am totally free of that dirty and costly habit.  I am also not bothered by others who do smoke around me. The habit is gone and replaced by peace, happiness, and the oddest desire to exercise.   I am now swimming one hour three to four day per week at the local pool instead of smoking."          –  Cynthia Seasons, Austin TX

 “My overall hypnosis experience was life changing. I went from being a substance abuser and chewing two cans of tobacco a day, to being completely clean after only one session! The amazing part was that I had no withdrawl symptoms. The experience was worth every penny and then some.  I recommend Kim Bothwell to anyone and everyone, even if people don't have significant problems."  - S. H.,San Luis Obispo, CA

Why People Don't Stop Smoking

Most people know that by stopping they will save several thousand dollars a year. Most people know that they could add years to their life. And most people know that  if  they  stop smoking right now, they could save their health - before it's too late.  So, why do people continue to smoke? With more than 20 years combined experience in dealing with the mind, both in the USA and in the UK, we have found the  answer  to  be  the  same  all  over  the  world.  It  all  comes  down  to  one thing...FEAR.

• Fear that you'll have to give up your crutch or pleasure
• Fear that you won't be able to enjoy life or handle stress
• Fear that you will put on weight
• Fear that you'll have to go through an awful trauma to get free

• Fear that you'll never get completely free of the craving

   

   

  All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking: Fear that is going to be too painful and too difficult!

 Make it Easy For Yourself with Hypnosis!

 In fact, my unique hypnosis technique makes it so easy that you'll leave a happy non-smoker; not feeling deprived, not feeling that you've made a sacrifice, and not feeling any pain. Instead, you'll have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last achieved what all smokers long to achieve, you have become a happy, successful, non-smoker. When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. It removes the need, and the desire to smoke. You won't need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. No inhalers or nasal sprays. No needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair and relax. It doesn't get much easier that that! 

 "Kim's stop smoking program is amazing. The first time around I put the tobacco down immediately after our session but it came back in two months. So I called Kim and we did a refresher. The day of the refresher I quit smoking again and for the final time! I AM smoke free and will remain smoke free for the rest of my life. I have already recovered the money I spent on Kim's hypnotherapy session many times over. It was the best investment of my life."     - Justin Hays, Austin Texas

 Our Unique Approach

Thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives. Of course, there are varying degrees of success with  hypnosis  because  much  depends  upon  the  skill, experience,  and  general competence of the individual hypnotherapist - as well as the techniques being used by them.  The beauty of our unique approach is that we use the best of traditional hypnotherapy  techniques,  and  combine  them  with  the  new  science of  Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which takes hypnosis to an even greater level of effectiveness.  One of  the  reasons  why it's not painful or difficult to stop smoking with our method, in fact, one of the reasons why it is so easy, is that we transfer the pleasure  derived  from  smoking  to  a  healthier habit of your choice (e.g. exercise, drinking  more  water,  relaxation).  This  is  the  reason  why,  with us, there is NO unwanted weight gain or other problems associated with kicking the habit - only an increase in health, wealth, and freedom. Most people we work with in our actual practice are able to quit in just one to three sessions! Call us for pre-screening and we can tailor a program specifically for your individual needs.

Nothing to Fear, Everything to Gain

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today the use of  hypnosis  is  seen  in  a  variety  of  fields  including:  medicine, dentistry,  law enforcement,  professional  sports,  and  education.  Most  people  have  a  limited understanding  of  the  positive  results  that  can  be  achieved  in  a  professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How does hypnosis work?

Our  minds  work  on  two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits.  In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Will hypnosis work for me?

Generally speaking, every normal person is “hypnotizable.” That is, people with an IQ  of  at  least  70,  and  no  severe  mental  disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

How will I know if I am hypnotized?

Most people can’t tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking states.  Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis  is  completely  safe.  You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in  a  state  of  hypnosis.  You  can’t  be  made  to  do something  against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit?

Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense!  We  can  help you effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker. - Help is only a phone call away
