Just taking off the layers

I’m sure with all this wintery weather a lot of you will be stripping off the layers of clothing you’ve been carrying around all day?

I like to think of hypnotherapy as stripping away the layers of habits, learnt behaviours and other issues that have built up over time, years maybe in some of the cases I’ve seen. It’s almost like we keep placing another jumper on top of the one we’re wearing.

So what do I mean? Well the best way to allow you to see what I mean is to take you through a case study.

So let’s take stopping smoking as an example.

The base layer of smoking to me is a deep-seated need from past behaviours. Some may have started to smoke at school or watched parents or relatives do the same. It has become that comfort layer close to our body we need (or think we need).

Next comes the mid layer that keeps you warm, the fleece layer. This to me is like the comfort level, the one that makes you feel better. Getting out of an uncomfortable situation by ‘going for a cigarette’. 

Finally comes the insulation layer, the outer layer. This is just like you wearing a certain jacket if you know it’s going to get cold. You build up the behaviour of having a cigarette at certain points on a journey or at certain times of day.

So how will I help to you to change the outfit you wear? 

I will use hypnotherapy with a perfect mix of my other skills to adjust each layer to a perfect outfit for you.

I’ll help take those old and comfy base layers off and let your subconscious pick the one that’s the perfect fit for you. I’ll maybe show how the old one probably had a few holes in you hadn’t even spotted.

Next, with a mix of hypnotherapy with counselling (or talking) as I prefer to know it, I will help you realise that the comfy layer was not the best fit and work with you to find a fit you would be proud to show off.  This may be working on your self-esteem or self-confidence to deal with the situations that drove you to smoke.

Finally we will deal with the outer layer. This uses my skills as hypnotherapist but also my previous training in health and sports therapy, helping you to changing the way you live your day-to-day life.  So with smoking it may be just asking you to change a route you take to work, as many smokers I’ve talked to smoke at particular points on their journeys. 

Each layer is just as important as the next to deal with.  And look at the rewards and health risks. Smoking 15-20 cigarettes apparently costs around £2500 per year, which could be an amazing holiday fund. 

Have you ever looked into what’s inside cigarettes to make them so addictive?  I challenge you to search on the Internet and see if you would eat the raw ingredients if they were put in front of you and roll them up and smoke them. I am guessing not, I was surprised what was in them, not that nice!

If you want to give up and stop sending your wages up in smoke, let me help YOU find that new non-smoking outfit.
