Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Program Review
Product Review: The Non-Smoker’s Edge
Smoking-Cessation.org Rating:
Of all documented smoking cessation protocols, hypnosis is the most effective.
The recent research behind using hypnosis for quitting smoking has been very positive. We have done a review of the literature, interviewed experts, and have sampled the most popular audio hypnosis programs that claim hypnosis can help with smoking cessation.
The Statistics
Research shows that the success rate for hypnosis is above 66% using a four session protocol. Compare that to the success rates of trying to quit without help 5%, using behavior therapy 25% or using Nicotine Replacement Products, 25% and hypnosis is a wise choice. In fact, there is no other method supported by research with this kind of success rate.
*We see claims from companies claiming 99% success rates, which is beyond misleading.
Important: All Hypnosis Programs are Not Created Equal
It turns out that in order to get the 66% success rate, you have to pay attention to a couple of details. 1. It requires at least 4 sessions. Yes, this means that all of those one session promises and traveling group hypnotherapy sessions are pretty much worthless.
2. There is a specific protocol used that only licensed psychologists have access to that the research is based on. When choosing a hypnotherapist, it is important the therapist be a licensed psychologist, otherwise you will not get the results that hypnosis can bring.
3. The quality of hypnotherapy varies widely and it is very important to do your research before choosing a therapist.
4. Finding a qualified therapist is extremely difficult, and if you do find one – expect to pay at least $200 a session.
So you are looking at spending at least $800 for effective hypnotherapy if you do it in person. If you settle for someone with just a CHT after their name, you are just wasting your money. You need to make sure they have a doctorate in psychology and can provide you with proof that they are licensed to practice mental health in the state in which they practice.
An Affordable Alternative
Hypnosis audio programs for home use are getting to be very popular and in a lot of cases can be just as effective as seeing the therapist in person. These programs are affordable and you can listen when you want, for as long as you want. We evaluated the most popular programs on the market, and found one program far more effective than the others.
The Non-Smoker’s Edge – The Review
This 7-cd hypnosis program was developed by Randy Gilchrist, Psy.D. Dr. Gilchrist is a licensed psychotherapist with advanced training in clinical hypnosis. Dr. Gilchrist works specializes in Stress Management and Smoking Cessation.
The program offers users 4 primary sessions of hypnosis to quit smoking:
†Motivation and Confidence Learn how to build a strong desire to stop smoking. Reasons to quit and benefits of quitting are covered. †Overcoming Past Connections In order to quit successfully, we must change what cigarettes mean to us and the connections they have in our lives. †Creating New, Healthier Connections Time to reprogram our minds with healthier choices. Great guided visualization of cleansing our bodies of the toxins smoking leaves behind. †Preventing Relapse
This session cements the value of quitting and provides help with avoiding a smoking relapse. Each hypnosis session is 25 to 30 minutes in length. Testers reported that not only was quitting easy, but that the sessions were relaxing and helped them with every day stress.
Supplementary Hypnosis Sessions
Along with the basic 4-session set described above, there are 5 additional 20 to 30 minute hypnosis sessions targeted at these specific issues:
†Handling feelings without cigarettes †Weight management †Assertiveness / people skills †Energy and concentration †Pairing smoking with unpleasant experiences – also known as aversion therapy. These sessions are helpful in preventing relapse by helping you resolve the issues that are keeping you smoking. The weight management session is very powerful and probably could be sold as a stand alone product.
