I’ve worked with a lot of people who have been trying to quit things.
What makes the difference between success and failure?
As I always explain - Hypnotherapy is not magic and the main determining factor is whether or not the client is really serious about wanting to quit.
People almost always tell me they are serious. Sometimes, if it is clear that they are under pressure from someone else, we agree they will call me back when they themselves are ready to quit. However, most of the time, people will swear they are serious and really want to stop. Yet sometimes they just go home and carry on. As if they have said to themselves, well I’ve tried everything even Hypnosis and I just can’t stop so I might as well carry on.
So to save you money and me time, before you call me, consider these 3 questions -
1 - When you think about doing the thing you want to quit, do you think about how much you enjoy it and look forward to doing it? Or do you think about how ashamed/scared/ill/powerless you are and how much you don’t want to be that person?
2 - Are you sick of it, sick of yourself and looking forward to being a different person and living a different life? Or are you secretly quite attached to the glamour, the ‘cool’, the social element or the lifestyle of your habit?
3 - And the biggest one - Are you prepared to throw out the cigarettes, the drug paraphernalia, the bottles of alcohol before you come and see me? Are you prepared to make that commitment to your decision? If not, you’re not really serious.
So before you book a session, look into your heart and answer these questions. To do so honestly may just save you £150.
