Stopping Smoking

Nina Hopmeier

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Once people discover a behaviour that becomes a habit, such as smoking, stopping can sometimes seem impossible. When people engage in addictive behaviours, they feel as if they are unable to control their actions. They may also feel distressed or anxious if they were to abstain from the behaviour. Due to the perceived inability to control actions, people often feel disempowered and hopeless, which significantly impacts happiness and wellbeing. In therapy, rather than solely focusing on the detrimental effects of smoking, we focus on the purpose and function of the behaviour. People frequently engage in addictive behaviours due to experiencing beneficial effects. If the behaviour would fail to be reinforcing, they would have no reason to continue with the addiction. Once people acknowledge the purpose of the addictive behaviour, they often view their situation through a compassionate, rather than judgmental lens. Gaining insight and self-compassion are essential ingredients for change and growth. Another fundamental aspect of therapy is gaining insight into the cause of an addiction. People with addictions often engage in dysfunctional behaviours in order to compensate for something that is lacking in their lives. The addiction may also be linked to past events, such as trauma or abuse. As a result, we explore the underlying cause of the addiction in order to assist with targeting core issues. With the incorporation of multiple treatment models, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness approaches clients learn to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that accompany the addiction. Over time they learn that having urges does not mean they have to act on them. Instead, they learn how to replace the urges with adaptive coping styles. As they gain control over their addiction, they often feel a sense of empowerment and strength, which instils hope for a new and improved future.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: Philip Starkman, registered psychotherapist
Stopping Smoking

Philip Starkman

Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I provide a supportive and empowering environment for clients seeking to conquer the challenge of stopping smoking. Understanding the complex interplay of habits, emotions, and physical dependency, I employ a holistic approach that includes Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing. This comprehensive strategy is designed to address not just the act of smoking but the underlying triggers and stressors that contribute to tobacco use. Through mindfulness, clients learn to recognize and manage cravings in the moment, while EFT offers a tool for reducing the emotional intensity associated with withdrawal. CBT helps in restructuring thoughts around smoking, and role-playing prepares clients for real-world situations that might otherwise derail their cessation efforts. My role is to guide you through this journey, providing the tools, support, and insights needed to navigate the path to becoming smoke-free, focusing on building resilience, self-awareness, and healthier coping mechanisms for a life of improved well-being and freedom from smoking.
