FAQ’s

Not all hypnotists are equally well qualified and experienced. Just like choosing any other professional, you need to make sure that the hypnotist you are going to see is fully qualified.

Everyone can be hypnotized provided that they want to be. Anyone who wishes to be hypnotized can be. Even people with short attention spans can be hypnotized but the procedure requires special skills on the part of the hypnotist.

Most people can’t tell the difference between the hypnotised state and the waking state. Some people feel relaxed and others feel sleepy. Clients often notice a change in their behaviour.

Hypnosis is very relaxing, but you never lose awareness during hypnosis. When you are hypnotized, you continue to be aware of your surroundings. Everyone has experienced hypnosis. For instance, daydreaming is a hypnotic state.

You will not be asleep, because if you were asleep, you would not be able to have a dialogue with your hypnotist. During hypnosis you are even more aware of what is going on around you than you would ordinarily be. Under hypnosis, you are in a very relaxed, focused and pleasant state.

Hypnosis is safe when a competent and qualified hypnotist practices it.

You will remember everything unless the hypnotist has valid reasons to delay the recall until he/she feels it is safe and beneficial to the client.

Often, after the session is over and in the days to come, images or memories will surface spontaneously to your awareness. These images could be pleasant or unpleasant, but remember you can always call your hypnotist.

Everyone comes out of hypnosis. Remember that you went into hypnosis willingly. So, just as you decided to go into hypnosis, by the same token, you will decide to come out of it. There are, on few occasions, some people who enjoy it so much that they resist coming out. But all well-trained hypnotists have knowledge of many different ways to bring the person around.

During hypnosis, you will look asleep, but you’re not. You are relaxed, but mentally alert. You retain at all times, a level of awareness the environment

There are some individuals with mental disorders or epilepsy, who may run risks if hypnotized. This is where clinical training of the hypnotist is essential.

If you have had positive experiences with hypnosis, it will naturally facilitate your re-experiencing it. If you are concerned that under hypnosis you might reveal some deep personal secrets, you should not be. You will reveal only what you wish.

Everything in life is relative. To answer this question, we have to compare the actual cost of the hypnotherapy ‘quit smoking’ session, to the actual ‘cost of not quitting’.

The costs of not quitting smoking include:

•  The cost cigarettes per day, per week, per year – for the rest of your life. The average person smokes 1 pack a day. So, by continuing to smoke, according to current cost of cigarettes, you will be losing (burning!) $5,000 to $6,000 per year, for as long as you continue to smoke.
• The loss of income due to shorten lifespan (approx. 14 years) as well as cost of medical treatment of smoking related diseases. The average loss of income due to shorten lifespan is easy to calculate. Assuming the annual earnings of only $50,000 per year and multiplying that by 14 years, we have a loss of $700,000. The cost of treatment of smoking related diseases is harder to calculate, but often exceeds the $700,000 of lost income.

In comparison to this huge financial loss (as well as the loss of health and wellbeing) the cost ‘quit smoking’ hypnotherapy – a mere $500 – is relatively speaking insignificant!

Now that you have this information, ask yourself a serious question:

“Can I afford NOT to quit cigarettes?”

(Especially now, that we offer an ‘easy pay plan’ that allows those in difficult financial situation to pay it off over the period of 5 weeks.)

Additionally, we offer a 100% money back guarantee:

“If you follow our ‘quit smoking process as instructed, but fail to quit smoking by the end of the process – we will take you through the whole process once more at no extra cost. By now, your chances of becoming a non-smoker are almost 95%. The main reason someone would fail to become a non-smoker after going correctly through our ‘quit smoking’ process for the second time, would be a serious change in their life circumstances, where their ‘priorities’ changed to such a degree that quitting smoking would no-longer be high on their priority list and they lost motivation to quit. However, we would still honour our guarantee and offer our 100% money back – providing that they did follow our process exactly as instructed.”

There are Hypnotherapists can charge as little as $100 a session. But, they usually require 3 - 4 sessions. That means you end up paying $400 anyway, and they don’t offer any guarantee, because in spite of their claims they only have a 30 - 40% success rate.

Many of them  do not offer the money back guarantee.

If, after 3 months of attending and having completed the program, you are still smoking, you will able to repeat the whole program at no extra cost.

In the unlikely case you have not become a non-smoker after 3 months of attending and having completed the program for the second time, your fee will be refunded in full.

Please visit the Guarantee page of our website for full details.

Success rates: What are my chances of succeeding?

Hypnosis clinics have the highest success rate of any stop smoking method. Studies show that over a 3-month period, the success rate is over 95%!

Hypnosis is many times more effective than any other method. For most smokers, one session is all it takes to get free, but we recommend you have at least 3 sessions over a three month period to maximise your chances to succeed over 12 months and beyond.

With our sophisticated system we are able to offer you 100% money back offer!

(Check our money back guarantee for details.)

Included in your fee are free sessions you need to stay a non-smoker for at least 3 months, because it takes up to 3 months to permanently install and establish a ‘new’ habit of non-smoking.

However, if you become a non-smoker for three months, but start smoking again after 3 months as a non-smoker has passed, that means that you have decided to start smoking again – this is not a ‘genuine’ relapse.

NOTE: you can attend our quit smoking program sessions again at half price, if you have started smoking again after 3 months.

There are some hypnotists, who use a ‘one fit all formula’ with every client; which usually means reading the same ‘quit smoking hypnotic script’ to all clients.

Since every client is different, one ‘formula’ will not work equally well for all clients; most clients will fail to quit.

Hypnotists who use ‘scripts’ (almost like magic incantation) are not true professionals, because they lack basic skills. They have a notion that there is a “Holy Grail” perfect hypnosis prescription (script or technique), and if we were able to apply it, it would transfer virtually all smokers into non-smokers.

The truth is, high quality hypnotherapy work is based upon understanding - understanding of principles about how human mind works, and how the psychology of this particular addiction workers, because it’s a little different from other addictions; it has its own unique qualities.

Hypnotist needs to adapt those understandings, to the unique circumstances of the client he’s working with and his unique set of skills and techniques.

The place professional hypnotists are working from, is understanding of principles – the things that are always going to be operating during each quit smoking process delivery. The result of a successful hypnotherapy session is a ‘mind-shift’ that makes people stop smoking.

The professional hypnotist will use his knowledge of ‘principles’ to create an appropriate ‘quit smoking process’ process for you – a unique individual – and will give you a successful outcome, as long as you cooperate and follow the program as instructed.

So if you really do want to quit and be a non-smoker for life, then our system will work – and we give you a 100% money back guarantee that it will!

The quit smoking hypnosis sessions are informal and casual and involve a lot of talking (hypno-coaching). We talk about why you started smoking and why you still smoke. We talk about willpower and the power of your subconscious mind. We talk about chemical addiction to the nicotine in the cigarettes and the time/repetition conditioned psychological addiction to the ‘ritual’ of smoking. We talk about withdrawal and why they are mostly an illusions – psychosomatic symptoms resulting from a long process of self-hypnosis.

During the hypnosis session, there will be a moment when you truly understand that there is no reason to smoke. That’s the moment we call a ‘mind-shift’ when you are free from the nicotine trap.

Trying to cut down could make cigarettes appear more special. So, just carry on smoking as normal until your hypnosis session in our clinic.

The chemical addiction is to the same substance (nicotine), but psychological addiction will vary with each different type of nicotine delivery. However, hypnosis is effective for all nicotine users, including people who smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or use chewing tobacco, and nicotine patches or gum.

The symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are very mild (barely noticeable) and of short duration (approx. 2-3 days). The feeling that most smokers describe as nicotine withdrawal has little to do with nicotine; it is a physical symptom of a psychological process (psycho-somatic symptoms). When we want to smoke but can’t, this conflict creates feelings of deprivation, sacrifice, anxiety and stress. However, with our sophisticated hypnosis method, there is no desire to smoke and therefore no conflict.

Most ex-smokers say they feel nothing when they quit smoking using our method; no painful withdrawal, no anxiety and no fear or stress. Just a sense of relaxation and calm.

Rest assured, you’ll feel the same. From the moment you finish your final cigarette, you will be a happy non-smoker. You will enjoy social occasions more without having to worry about the need to smoke. Your ability to cope with stress will improve as you realise you have no further need for a crutch. Physically, within 20 minutes of quitting, the healing process begins and within a few days you should start noticing positive changes in your health and wellbeing.

Yes! You are not going to stop living; you will just be free from an addiction that has controlled your life, since you started smoking.

All non-smokers who never smoked, enjoy meals, drinks, holidays and social occasions, and so will you. You once were a natural non-smoker, and will regain the memory of what it’s like to be a non-smoker.

If you follow our process, you shouldn’t put on any weight. Because you won’t miss smoking - you won’t be trying to replace it with unhealthy food. Our clients are more likely to lose weight, because they feel energized and become more active and burn more calories.

Many health insurance funds encourage you to improve your health and endorse quit smoking programs, but you should check with your health fund.

It depends on the company. You can ask your HR department to look at the cost-benefits equation and consider the benefits to the company if they help their staff to quit smoking.

Hypnosis will work for any smoker and is equally effective for both heavy and casual smokers.
