5 Minute Therapy Tips - Episode 05: Smoking Cessation

Let's talk about smoking cessation. There are many people who have come to me over my 40 years of practice who are interested in getting help stopping smoking. Hypnosis can be a very effective technique in helping people to stop smoking.

We are excited to share with you our new Youtube series which will explore topics such as Client Problems, Professional Issues, Clinical Concerns, and Methodology with new episodes every Friday!

I've lost count how many videos I've collected over the last 3 days on quitting smoking.
Here's what I've learned in that time about the battle I'm engaged in with addiction to smoking.
The addiction knows me better than I do.
It's built quite a house in my brain.
I found that it's been helpful to give the addiction a name.
Doing this has given me a very distinct visual image that feels more tangable, more real. And in that, I have been able to see the addiction as a physical enemy that I can defeat and evict from my brain.

Smoking is a momentary anchor in a sea of losses

[BrianScalabrineMVP]

You're the man! Thanks for the video

[richardspeers]

This guy could never enter a dog park 🤣🤣😅

The smoking as grammar analogy is brilliant .

Switching brands didn't work for me started smoking menthols at 15-16. Changed to non menthol at around 20 something...53 and still smoking non menthol. Im not afraid to quit. I think at times i just didn't right against the urge because it's easy to ask someone for a cigarette, when i leave them at home or just don't have any

[Sunshine-rkzl]

My brain works against me. But I think Im going to try to tackle it from a couple of different angles. Thanks.

[katemaylifehacks]

Thank you Jeff. All your videos are really helpful as I just qualified. I found you by accident! There’s always a reason behind that.

Interesting, but no information was provided about Dr. Zeig's success rate using this procedure. So many procedures, especially in smoking cessation, sound plausible but have only around a 20% success rate.

Teeth whistling triggers my smoking. .

In about the year 1990, my husband and I attended a group smoking cessation. We were hypnotized, being forever negatively, and horribly, affected by violences upon us and our loved ones by person's knowing of it all.

[WimHofMethodstOZinstructor]

the sound quality of the video is not the best, the echo and shrill is unpleasant for the ears

[m.dgaius]

I really wanted to hear this but all I heard was the hissing of his S's.

[elizabethlamboy-wilson]

If you stop smoking b4 U go into the session then what's the point of the session? What kind of stupidity is this?

[heatherhall]

I think you need a new mic, one that doesn’t pick up your whistle speech so loud 🙉

[allangray]

Holy shit if only you could quit that obnoxiously sharp speech whistle.
