Quit Smoking Hypnosis

I realised very early on in my career that smoking is often a symptom that has been connected to an underlying emotional issue, and so I focus on disconnecting the habit of smoking from that emotional trigger. Because of this, I have often helped in alleviating the way in which my clients respond to those feelings and emotions in ways that help them in many other areas, while also stopping smoking.

Addictions, phobias, obsessions, compulsive behaviour, motivation and weight loss - Change whatever is holding you back in life.

How can Breathwork help in Hypnotherapy?

Before we start - I prefer not to use the term "breathwork". Why? I don't know - maybe for the same reason that I don't use the word "trance" when I am talking about a hypnotic state.  "Breathwork", like "trance", elicits prejudice in some people where they think, "It's just a fad!" or "Yeah, I know all about that...", or "It's just pseudo-science!" - so I prefer to use the term Conscious Breathing. This term emphasises the intentional and mindful aspect of the practice, which aligns with the therapeutic focus on controlling and utilising the breath for specific outcomes.
