  1. Ben Affleck quits smoking with hypnosis

    Posted on

    Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is looking forward to the Oscar ceremony after his success at the Bafta's this week.

    One thing is for sure though...however nerve wracking it will be Ben will not be taking to the Cigarettes to help calm his nerves.

    Many people think that they smoke to help them when they are stressed, what they don't know is that in fact it increases your stress levels whilst flooding your body with toxins. Ben had already stopped smoking before but whilst filming his hit movie Argo he started again as part of his character. He used to smoke 20 a day and had done for years, but when his wife Jennifer Garner told him it was time to quit he realised that it was a postive move and that as he looked forward to becoming a father it was a good thing to do for everyone concerned.

     "I finally decided to quit smoking when I was going to have a child, and that was the thing that sort of put it over the top for me," Ben says.

    So, once he made the final decision that it was time to become a non smoker, Ben says he went to a hypnotist in the USA who had been recommended by his friend, fellow film star Matt Damon. "He sips water and just talks to you for an hour and explains to you how nicotine is poison," Ben said when speaking to TV host Oprah Winfrey. "And it seems really, like, 'How could this help me?' And all of a sudden you think, 'This is asinine that I had been doing this to myself for all these years.'"

    It is important to see that in fact you are not giving up something but gaining something. In the case of Ben Affleck he is making a brighter future for his children, pleasing his wife and of course getting all of his sense of taste and smell back. What's not to like!

  2. Stop smoking with hypnosis a success story

    Posted on

    Recently, I held a special session to help people who wanted to stop smoking as part of Stoptober and to help raise money for Cancer Research UK.stratford herald stoptober stop smoking press cutting

    It took place at the Arden Hotel in Stratford upon Avon who very kindly donated the room so that all the money could go towards the charity.

    The Stratford Herald newspaper came down to meet some of the people and have a chat with us. I am delighted to say that when they checked up a few days later with Suzanne, who is pictured in the press cutting, she was able to report how successful she had been !

    In case you are unable to read the text of the press cutting here it is in full...

    "Breaking the habit...Smoker Suzanne Wade"

    "Hypnotised into breaking the habit of a lifetime"

    "Stub it out and break the bad habit of a lifetime: that was the challenge faced by several smokers who attended a quit smoking hypnotherapy session in Stratford recently, reports Simon Woodings.

    The Session, held at the Arden Hotel, coincided with the government's 'Stoptober' initiative designed to help people all over the UK kick the dreaded weed this month.

    Local BBC radio presenter Mark Powlett from Stratford, who runs his own hypnotherapy company, was joined by fellow professional hypnotherapist, Aston Colley. Together they staged the session which raised funds for Cancer Research.

    Suzanne Wade, who took part, has successfully managed to give up smoking and has been nicotine free for more than a week. "We were made to feel very relaxed and told there was nothing positive about smoking" she said. "It's bad for your health and costs a lot of money. I can't say I don't still get the odd urge to light up but this time round something stops me from doing so - perhaps that's the trick of the hypnotherapy!"

    Of course it's not a trick ! Hypnosis can really help you to make a change to your subconcious and stop that habit in its tracks.

    It's great to help spread the word and show people how successful hypnosis is in helping people to quit the smoking habit. You can find out more about how I can help you stop smoking here.
