Stop Smoking - why not try hypnosis?
Hypnosis for stopping smoking - is it for you?
I stopped smoking about 3 years ago and went back to smoking when I was drinking now and then, but more recently I have got to the point where I smoke as soon as I have a drink in my hand, plus I am going out more often as an excuse to smoke... so I decided that I have to alter this silly behaviour as soon as possible...
I tried the hypnosis CD from Paul McKenna that comes with the book (about £10.99 from a high street book store - but probably cheeper online, maybe amazon.co.uk). I have not read all of the book yet, but decided to do the CD anyway.
I have a belief in hypnosis (not that I have ever went to someone for hypnosis [yet]) as I have read a lot of stuff about hypnosis in my research into NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and TFT (Thought Field Therapy).
I picked the Paul McKenna CD as I have used some other peices of his work for motivation and improving my finacial habits, plus my cousin and her partner had tried it last month and they smoked a lot more than me and it seems to have worked wonders for them (well done you two).
I am planning to try the CD again and finish off the book prior to the weekend (not that I should be out again, but anyway)... just to see of I have lost the craving feeling for fags...
I will keep you posted... (anyone...lol)

TFT - Thought field therepy
TFT – Though Field Therapy
I have recently taken up TFT as a self development practice along with a cocktail of other exercises to help me progress and develop my skills, knowledge and confidence to make myself into a successful business owner and investor.
Thought field therapy is an exercise that can be used along with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and hypnosis (or even on its own) to help get over fears, phobias and anxieties in life that are stopping you from achieving what you want and deserve from your personal and professional life.
People have also used the techniques to stop smoking and lose weight by changing their behaviours and emotions relating to cigarettes or food, thus altering their relationship with food.
I found it difficult to find books on TFT (Thought Field Therapy) in mainstream stores, but I did manage to get hold of a TFT book written by Roger Callahan (with Richard Trubo), called Tapping The Healer Within – Using Thought Field Therapy to Instantly Conquer Your Fears, Anxieties and Emotional Distress.
I found that I got best results by also using other hypnosis materials such as Paul McKenna (Motivational Power CD) and my small NLP Pocket Book alongside the TFT materials.
I also found that I managed to reduce phobias from childhood that I had tried to ignore for years such as, a paralysing fear of dogs, panic attack feelings when travelling and something goes wrong (like a near miss from a driver not paying attention or something)...
I have heard that people have also managed to rid themselves of guilt and trauma from major issues such as the death of a loved one or major injury as well as depression.
