My hubby quit smoking successfully thanks to one session of hypnotherapy and the inclusive second back up session just sealed the deal. His mother was a heavy smoker and would nag him to join her in a cigarette but he never did so again, not even when she had to get him to 'light up' for her as she got very doddery. He says he just never got the urge to smoke again. He went back to the same chap (all properly licensed etc) when he realised he was drinking too much spirits, now he just has one glass of red a night, no spirits & doesnt crave them which is what he was aiming for. Since we moved he went to a new chap in an effort to establish a good sleep pattern & do away with taking sleeping pills - that was unsucessful. I too went to this person in an effort to deal with some pretty long standing emotional issues. I was hesitant at first but they don't 'put you out' you are totally aware at all times, I sat in a chair in a peaceful room. I had 3 sessions and yes it has helped me.
