Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Smokers are often afraid of what will happen to them and what kinds of changes will occur if they quit smoking, and they might have one or more of these beliefs: 'I'm addicted to nicotine', 'It helps me cope with stress/weight/boredom', 'I'm not strong enough to quit or cope without it'. Using Rapid Transformational Therapy, a smoker is assisted to 'rewire' their mind to associate disgust or psychological pain toward smoking, as opposed to the desire to smoke. The need to have any addiction usually originates from an unconscious belief that a person does not feel like they are enough deep down. This belief is created by the mind based on experiences in a person's early life, making the brain think that an addiction can fill the need to feel enough. RTT gets to the root of the beliefs, where they can then be reframed, interrupted, released, then replaced with beneficial beliefs. A person's pattern of thought is changed by creating beliefs that are positive and empowering, to form a feeling of pleasure from breathing fresh air, saving money, becoming healthier, etc. The mind is being changed at the subconscious level, meaning that quitting does not require one's willpower alone (though some is needed). Ongoing support after the session will be available.

Despite the known health risks associated with smoking, many individuals find it challenging to quit because of the addictive nature of nicotine and the psychological aspects of smoking.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Smoking isn't a habit it's an identity. As long as part of you still sees yourself as a smoker, willpower is fighting a war it can't win. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level to eliminate the identity structure that drives the craving, not just the craving itself. Dallas-area and virtual sessions available. Most clients complete the work in one to three sessions.
