Hypnotherapy is quoted in the New Scientist Journal (issue no 1845 31/10/92) as the most successful anti-smoking aid, with a higher success rate than acupuncture, a nicotine substitute or other methods. This report is based on a meta-analysis combining the results of 600 studies in various countries, involving almost 72,000 smokers.

Roseanna utilises hypnotic suggestion, NLP techniques and positive visualisation to assist in stopping smoking, making it EASY for you to succeed in just ONE session.

Everybody is different and has their own unique belief structure and resultant patterns of behaviour. Smoking is a habit and there are several steps involved in a successful approach to changing this habit.

• The first, and most important requirement, is something that only you, the client, can control. YOU must WANT to stop smoking. This doesn't mean that you are willing to "give it a go"; rather that you would really, really like to be a non-smoker. The question to ask yourself here is "would you like to stop smoking if you could be shown a way that made it easy?"
• Now ask yourself why you want to stop. Think of all the benefits you will experience once you are a non-smoker.
• The next question to be addressed is "what's stopping you from stopping?" The answer to this question may be that you feel that smoking relaxes you, or you believe it will be difficult to stop, or that you think you are addicted to nicotine, or that you think you'll put on weight, kick the cat, shout at the children... etc, etc. You may not even be consciously aware of the answer to this question.
• You may believe that smoking achieves a positive objective for you (relaxes you, suppresses your appetite, helps you to think), and if you believe this, it is almost certainly doing so. Thus alternative methods of achieving that positive outcome must be explored, decided upon and instigated. You may on the other hand truly feel that for you smoking is just a habit.
• The next step is to identify the triggers or cues that instigate the pattern of behaviour that is smoking. This may be whenever you have a cup of coffee, walk into a pub, need a break, etc. Once your own "smoking triggers" have been identified, an alternate response to these triggers needs to be decided upon consciously and then installed in your subconscious mind so that you act on the new model of behaviour automatically.
• It is then important to be able to visualise yourself as a relaxed, calm, happy non-smoker and link this image of yourself all the way into the future. Most people have a distant, furry, black and white image of how they know they should feel as a non-smoker... but we need more than this. We want a bright, full size album of pictures that you can really see, taste and feel...! and the careful navigation through these steps, with Roseanna's help, will ensure that you are a non-smoker from now on.
