richard_uk Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Has anyone here ever tried hypnotherapy, I'm considering it to help me quit smoking, I've tried several times over the years to quit and I allways fail, even though I know it's killing me I still can't quit I've searched the internet for reviews on hypnotherapy for smoking but all I can find are sites that are linked to hypnotherapists, and of course they all say it works, I'd love to hear some unbiased opinions.

chris5264 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 the vast majority of what goes on in the mind is unconscious, if you can access that, IMO you can make some major changes. The real problem is finding a method that can actually access this,,,,the bad news is that too many people have a money first philosophy and you never know....

ratchpot Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Have you tried Allen Carr's "Easyway" method? I know a few people who read his book and gave up straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Have you tried Allen Carr's "Easyway" method? I know a few people who read his book and gave up straight away. Yes, but it only works once. If you fall off the wagon, you need a different method for the second try. Oh, and Allen Carr died of Irony.

Thanks for the headsup, I did some reading and it seems to be an effective method, just bought his book in pdf format from ebay for 99p P.S. As soon as I get it I'll upload it and add a link for anyone that wants a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Lancelot Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Richard, my Father was telling me about a pill you get from your Doctor. He said that if you were on this medicine and smoked, you would get very ill. He was going to ask his Doctor and do it if it was not made up. I will ask him what he found out.
