 My experience of hypnotherapy with Matthew Hall

 I've been a light smoker since my mid teens and a nail - biter for as long as I can remember. Neither of which are healthy or very attractive and desparately wanted to eradicate them from my life.

 It was recommended to me to try hypnotherapy some time ago but I dismissed the option straight away. This was mainly due to my own skepticism towards hypnotherapy and general public opinion on the subject.

 Managing to put my skepticism to one side I ended up on Matthew's doorstep, altough I wasn't holding out much hope for him to be ablr to help me. I was pleasantly greeted by Matthew, who sat me down and explained the process of hypnotherapy and how he could help. after agreeing that I would like him to help, he started to do his thing - even at this point I was thinking there's no way this is going to work, but before I knew it I was under. I couldn't believe it, and at the same time couldn't care less it was a very strange yet amazing sensation.

 It's been 48 hours since my hypnotherapy and despite still thinking about smoking I don't have any cravings at all. To top it off I have white bits at the end of my nails.

 Whether or not my treatment has any longetivity only time will tell, but so far so good. i have already recommended Matthew to a number of my friends and despite the odd looks they gave me I hope they take up the suggestion and don't miss it as I first did.

 Testimonial - Dated 16.2.09

 It was never going to be easy to stop smoking. In fact, I tried a few times to quit. But each time, after a few days, I would be having the odd one or two, and then a few more, until, in no time at all, I was back to smoking in full flow.

 It has now been six weeks since I spent one hour with Matthew Hall, undergoing hypnosis.I don't want a cigarette. I haven't even thought about having one. I certainly feel healthier, but the amazing thing is that I had no weight gain at all. Obviously I have made a huge saving, in monetary terms, and all my familly and friends are staggered that I actually managed it. I feel really proud of myself, and will forever be indebted to Matthew. To all you smokers out there, try it for yourself.

 Testimonial  dated 29.3.09

 Matthew Hall was brilliant. After trying for months to give up smoking using willpower, patches, etc, and failing miserably, I thought I'd give hypnotherapy a go. One 75 minute session with Matthew and I stopped smoking.  Not only am I a non smoker, I'm also more relaxed and confident, with the real added bonus that I haven't eaten more, to replace the cigarettes. I found the service great and have recommended it to my friends who smoke.

 Testimonial - Dated 3.5.10

 I was a little scared about hypnosis - thinking that I'd lose control. But Matthew put my mind at ease. He talked me through what was going to happen - with a little demonstration, and when I was ready, put me into trance. It was the most relaxing thing ever. He told me that I was going to feel various things, and I did. I drifted in and out of daydreams, as he therapised me, and turned me into a non smoker.

It worked at once, but I had homework - he sent me a recording of the session to listen to - and it is a pleasure, there is also tapping to do, which was easy, once I learned the sequence. It has been two weeks now  with no smoking and I think Matthew was my best chance of giving up.

  It's true

 Have we grabbed your attention ?     Just  one session with Matthew Hall is often enough to end this destructive habit, and  transform your life. The Department of Health claims that people attending NHS Stop Smoking Clinics have a 16% success rate.  One scientific  university study  showed that hypnotherapy has a 95% success rate in stopping people smoking.  At Effective Hypnosis we offer free follow ups to anyone who starts again. Even if you have tried everything else, and we are a last resort, phone  01895 810772  now.

 A worldwide problem

The World Health Organisation predicted, in Febuary 08, that one billion people would have been killed by smoking by the end of the century. According to the Telegraph, in May 08, about a quarter of the British population smokes, but numbers are falling at a much slower rate than the Department of Health would like. You may have tried to stop before, but found it just too difficult.   But no matter how many times you have tried  to quit smoking in the past, no matter how many years you have been addicted, hypnotherapy can help you stop for good.

Why do people smoke? Is it just a bad habit, or is it an addiction?

Smoking may give much pleasure to those that have the habit, releasing dopamine, a chemical that gives the brain a mini high; it may provide a sense of security, or various secondary gains - for example -acceptance in a social group, feeling part of the crowd. 

 Here are a few reasons/ excuses we have heard - I am addicted, It helps me combat anxiety, It helps me deal with stress, I am fatigued, It acts as a reward/ comfort, I am bored, unloved, insignificant, I am depressed.

Are These Good Reasons?

You don't need us to tell you how bad smoking is for you - it is well documented.

Consider what the General Medical Council says happens to your body - Smoking causes cancer of the lungs, mouth, throat, larynx, liver, oesophagus, pancreas, stomach, kidney,  and bladder.

 It slowly destroys the lung functions - one in eight smokers dies of lung cancer. Clogged arteries restrict bloodflow and normal bodily functions, resulting in heart disease.

Women are more at risk from smoking related heart problems than men, as they seem to be more sensitive to the effects than men.  Smoking affects unborn babies, preconception, problems in pregnancy, and can cause osteoporosis. It is also a heart risk to those on the contraceptive Pill.

If you are expecting a baby then you should stop now for the baby's health  - smoking can bring on the rupturing of the placenta, leading to brain damage or still birth. For nine months you should give your body over to the health of your baby.

  Smoking ruins the skin, and leads to the appearance of premature aging.  Smoking can cause psoriasis, and this can lead on to arthritis. Smoking leads to worsening eyesight.

 Smoking is a major cause of heart attack. In fact, the ban on smoking in public places, of July 07, was reported to have significantly reduced heart attacks a year afterwards.

 Although many people think that smoking will keep their weight down, it actually increases the amount of harmful fats, called triglycerides, in the body, and will not keep the weight off.

 It is a major cause of bronchitus, emphysema, coronary artery disease, heart disease,  stroke,  and can lead to limb amputation through impaired respiration and circulation.

 Constituents of tobacco smoke -

 Each cigarette contains over 4,800 chemical poisons. These include  Nicotine, Hydrogen Sulphide, Methanol, Acetone, Ammonia, DDT, Benzene, Hydrogen Cyanide, Carbon Monoxide, Pyridine, and Formaldehyde.

 Each of these poisons is taken into the body with every drag of every cigarette. Assuming ten drags per cigarette, you are taking in 48, 000 poisons per cigarette. If you smoke 20 a day - that is 960, 000 poisons, every day.

According to reports - see News - neither  the strength of the nicotine or the length of the cigarette makes much difference to the effect it has on a smoker's body.

 Nicotine is a highly toxic nerve poison. It constricts arteries, preventing proper blood flow. It raises blood pressure, and stimulates the entire nervous system. It is a powerful stimulent and does not relax you.

 The results of the study into the link between cancer and tobacco was partially supressed by the McMillan government in 1956, as they were worried about loss of tax income. However, smokers will always justify their habit, no matter what risks,  until they have had a change of heart, and hypnotherapy helps towards this mindshift.

  As we said, you don't need us to tell you. Does  continuing to smoke make any sense ?

  What do the experts say?

Researchers at the University of Baskent, in Turkey, reported that there is no safety in smoking low tar brands,  according to the Heart journal, in May 07, as the risk of coronary impairment is just the same.

BUPA tells us that smoking shortens life by ten years.

 ASH tells us that fifty million working days a year in the UK are lost due to a smoking related illness.

 The BMA states, in 2008, that smoking related illnesses kill more than 90,000 people each year. But research shows that the benefits of stopping can be seen almost immediately.

 About a half of all violent incidents on air trips are to do with illicit smoking, due to addiction. This has led to many prosecutions, and criminal records for those involved.

 The Journal of Epidemiology and Community reports that the children of mothers who smoke are likely to suffer from bad moods and cry more often - in March 08.

 Women smokers are at a greater risk of developing lung cancer than men - and with fewer cigarettes, according to Dr. Martin Frueh, from the Gallen Canton Hospital in Switzerland, in May 09.

 A government think tank - the Policy Exchange - has published a report, in March 2010, suggesting that each cigarette smoked costs the tax payer 6.5p in health spending and lost productivity to the economy.

 About addictions.

 An addiction is a response made through habit, and a source of pleasure or security. It is a way of coping with things happening both inside and outside the individual.  It provides predictable relief from the stresses and strains of everyday living. 

The most vulnerable people to addiction are those that are not satisfied with life, feel lonely, through lack of contact with individuals or groups, lack self confidence or interests. They feel that smoking will provide them with these benefits.

Addiction occurs as a stage of adaption to a poison. If you take a poison in a large dose it will harm you. But if you take that poison in a small dose you can learn to adapt to it, just as long as you keep repeating the dose often enough for your body to build it's adaption. once you have achieved adaption you will be able to tolerate larger doses.

 Absenteeism leads to craving. Unsatisfied craving leads to withdrawal. Withdrawal demands a fix. A fix stops withdrawal. The brain interprets the end of withdrawal as pleasure. But the only pleasure is the end of withdrawal symptoms.

 Richard Madeley was seen on Channel 5, in 2010, saying that everybody that smokes less than 20 a day thinks that they are not addicted - but they are. In fact, only one cigarette twice a week will maintain an addiction - the nicotine will stay in the body for four days - so a cigarette on Sunday followed by one on Wednesday will still maintain an addiction - that can stretch to smoking more and more each day.

 Addicts believe their drug helps them. Tobacco dependance changes the way the brain works, because nicotine is a psychoactive drug -  a narcotic. It can give you a lift, but it is short lived, the craving for more and more is always there. But many smokers are addicted to the habit, rather than the substance - according to a survey produced in December 08, hypnosis can lead them away from this addiction and stamp out smoking forever. Phone  01895 810772  today.

Is there any hope ?

 Quitting  with NRT - nicotine replacement therapy,  is effective for some - about 16% -  But giving up with NRT does still maintain a dependence on nicotine, which means that the temptation to smoke will still be there.   Champix is a prescribed aid to relieve the craving and withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping smoking. But, the side effects can include - feeling depressed, irritable, frustrated or anxious,  and sleeplessness, with  concentration difficulty. 

 Sydney  University published results of tests on giving up, in Febuary 2010, and said that the overwhelming majority of people gave up without NRT.

 Hypnosis is perfectly natural, and will have no side effects The Israeli medical Association published in 2008 stating that they had found a 90% success rate in people overcoming addictions with hypnosis.

How can hypnotherapy help?

 Through hypnotic  trance we contact the subconscious mind, which contains 90% of the brain's power. 

The Smoking Cessation Program  helps to break the chain of compulsion by removing the triggers that  reinforce the habit. We tackle the vulnerability to addiction through helping the addict to re-evaluate life. 

We help people to release internal endorphins, releasing the need for dopamine hits.

 We overcome the addiction through using time distortion techniques.

 We tackle anxiety and stress by raising self esteem.

We focus people's energy on goals, changing faulty belief systems.

 Hypnosis will help to remove associative and emotional triggers that have lodged in your mind for so long.

Thoughty Field Therapy is used to change the beliefs around addiction, and remove cravings .

 Neuro Linguistic Programming is used to create an aversion to cigarettes.

 Hypnosis will convince people that they are, and will be, non  smokers. This makes it very easy to stop smoking. Clients experience, at some point or other, an epiphany, a moment of learning and transformation, which means that they become non smokers. A frame of mind  that desires a healthy lifestyle is created.

 This is backed up by a CD recording of the session and free follow ups are available, if necessary.  This means that if you ever start smoking again, you will get more sessions at no charge. We know , from our follow up research, that our hypnotherapy techniques are extremely successful.  With approximately £2300 a year at stake, plus your health deteriorating with every smoke, isn't it time to quit smoking with hypnotherapy methods?

The results

  Conversion means to turn around and live your life in a different way, and a conversion in habits is what we seek. When a person feels that they have had enough, then they are ready for change - this is not something we prescribe for people who aren't ready.

Just imagine the health benefits from stopping smoking. Every organ, every cell of your body will welcome the transformation.  A healthy glow, shiny hair,  and clean teeth. Freedom from addiction,  fresher clothes, fingers,  teeth,  tastier food, better health, social approval, extra money, self confidence.

You will find exercising easier as your lungs  recover from the effects of smoking and feeling fitter and healthier can keep you motivated.  Exercising is also a great way to reduce stress further - you will have already acheived a 20% reduction in stress levels by giving up ( see News ).

 Many people stop after just ONE SESSION, but we have a back up plan if that fails. This is offered with a lifetime promise - if you ever start smoking again, we will continue to work with you until you stop. The Advertising Standards Authority don't like the offer of a guarantee, because they say it may confuse people, but this is in effect what we offer. But take up on free sessions is extremely minimal, because this system works so well. Call Matthew Hall on  01895 810772  for details.

 Researchers at Exeter University have shown that ex smokers who exercise are less likely to start again. The report, in March 09, said that a chemical released in exercise took away cravings.

  Saving money

The average smoker will spend over £100,000 on the habit of smoking cigarettes, between the age of 16 and retirement.  In  March 2010, a 20 pack a day costs in the region of £6.30, weekly £44 monthly, £176 - £189 , yearly, approximately £2300. Over a period of fifty years smoking,  over  £100, 000.  Just imagine what you would do with that money once you stop.
