quit smoking cigarettes online
Quitting smoking online may seem unusual and it certainly defies one of the sacred cows of hypnosis. But I’m sure as a smoker who wants to quit, you couldn’t care less about the politics of hypnosis.
The only end result of interest is that it works. Over the last few years since I started doing hypnosis online I have successfully helped many people from Melbourne to Cardiff UK to Los Angeles.
If I only had a regular clinic space, I never would have had the opportunity to help these people and so many others.
So what are the pros and cons of quitting online?
- You do not need to travel, park, take public transportation, or take extra time off for your appointment.
- You sit in the comfort of your home or office; you can even do it from your car!
- You need a reasonable internet connection, a computer with a camera, or a modern phone.
- Skype can stop working, but I use zoom, which offers better picture and sound quality.
- Image quality can suffer if the connection is poor, this rarely happens but if it does, I just turn off the camera until it is resolved.
- The reality is that once you close your eyes you could be in my office or anywhere in the world, so it doesn’t matter.
- Some may feel that it lacks a bit of the personal touch, but families and friends stay in touch this way or right now, all over the world.
The reality is that if you’re ready to quit we might be doing it at a table in a loud and busy cafe, if you’re resisting online then you need to see it in action or it’s just an excuse to avoid quitting.
The word hypnosis is divided into online is okay and online is not okay. The main reaction comes mostly from those who haven’t done it this way or who are concerned that a customer will have a strong negative reaction.
First of all, I have never seen a client have a strong negative reaction, after doing thousands of sessions.
And second, we’re talking about quitting and we’re not digging into some terrible past trauma.
From my perspective, it all comes down to proper preparation so that when you sit in front of your screen and connect with me on Skype, you’re ready to quit and excited to put cigarettes behind you.
