 Smoking / Weight Loss

Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking

For over twenty years Maureen McCabe has helped people from all walks of life to stop smoking forever. Because hypnotherapy helps you to change at an unconscious level, you will be able to stop smoking without will power or effort. When you try to stop smoking using will power alone, most people become irritable and bad tempered. Hypnotherapy helps you to stop smoking whilst remaining calm and in control, and it helps to rid you of the nicotine addiction as well as the smoking habit. It will also help you become more confident in yourself and to believe that you will succeed in stopping smoking. However you will need to have a serious desire to stop smoking. Stopping smoking usually takes only one session of up to 2 hrs.

When hypnotherapy is used to help stop smoking any possibility of alternative habits such as nail-biting or over-eating being used as a substitute, are eliminated during the session, so these negative habits do not even start.

Some smokers especially those who have been smoking for a long time believe that the damage done is irreversible, however they should be aware that it is never too late to stop. One should be aware of the following:

• 8 hrs after quitting oxygen levels in blood return to normal.
• 24 hrs later carbon monoxide levels in the body are greatly reduced.
• 24 hrs later a sense of smell and taste improve.
• 48 hrs later breathing becomes easier. 4 days later nicotine addiction is over.
• 7 days later energy levels improve, and you will notice an added feeling of well being.
• 2 months later circulation improves.
• 1 year later lung function improves by 15%
• 10 to 15 years later your risk of heart and lung disease return to normal.

As a result of stopping smoking you will become continuously healthier and richer.

Weight Loss

Hypnotherapy will help you to manage your weight without will power or effort. When you attend hypnotherapy sessions to lose weight you do not go on a diet, however you will learn to develop a healthy eating plan for life. If you are in the habit of eating junk food hypnotherapy will help you to lose interest in this unhealthy habit of eating.

Hypnotherapy will help you to be attracted to healthy foods, and it will motivate you to exercise.

You will learn to:

• Enjoy eating healthy nutritious foods.
• Enjoy an appropriate form of exercise.
• Stop eating when you have eaten the correct amount of food to satisfy your hunger.
• Eat only when you are hungry and if you are not hungry to not eat.
• Eat slowly chewing each mouthful.
• Keep food like biscuits, chocolates, ice cream etc. in your home and not eat them.

This change will take place at an unconscious level, and you will develop a healthy eating plan for life, without will power or effort.
