I often have to postpone a client’s appointment due to impossible business pressures. This person is a busy business person. They put business appointments on a higher priority than their stop-smoking appointments. But it does not end there. You see, most of us would put work as a priority, because there is too much at stake messing around with our work. With this type of person, they put business appointments so much first and foremost that instead of scheduling a new business appointment around their scheduled stop-smoking appointment, they panic and cancel their stop-smoking appointment. Maybe you are wondering why this person does not schedule an appointment after work or on a weekend. I have wondered this too, many a time. It seems, from the answers I get, that this busy person is so constantly stressed by work, that when their very long work-day finally finishes, they are not willing to sacrifice any of their me-time or time with their family, not even for a life-saving appointment. In other words, this person is so constantly stressed out that it is no wonder they need to take a drug like nicotine in order to cope with life.

The only way this person can give up smoking is to work out new strategies to reduce stress in their life. As long as they insist that they need to keep up these unnecessary stress levels, they will really struggle to quit smoking.

There may be limiting beliefs about hard work that underlie all this stressful lifestyle. For example, the principle of work hard and play hard may be so entrenched in the mind as the best way to live, that health and well-being are sacrificed. Perhaps they were brought up by parents who were too perfectionist, or maybe there was financial and material deprivation in childhood, to which the hard-working executive image feels like the perfect antidote. Or perhaps this business person has very low self-esteem. On the outside, they may appear confident and strong, whereas on the inside, they feel unworthy of good health. Maybe they only feel worthwhile in the boardroom, and so seek to re-create that sense of importance over and over again, to the detriment of their well-being. Or perhaps they are stuck in a high-paying job where they cannot go elsewhere, and need that job to pay for an excess of material wealth that they only feel worthwhile if they own. For example, downsizing their job to a less stressful one may mean giving up the five-bedroom house and three luxury cars, without which this person may feel worthless. And although one may not sympathize, after all there are people starving for lack of food, this person is actually in a lot of relentless pain. And they smoke to dull away the pain; of over-work, of such a rigid regime, of feeling worthless in themselves, and of impossible expectations.

EFT, short for emotional freedom techniques helps with all the emotional elements of such a stressful lifestyle. And when enough stress has been eliminated, the person will then no longer need cigarettes in order to cope, and they can easily quit. EFT involves the stimulation of special stress buttons on the face, hands, and body whilst saying releasing wording. The first step however, still needs to be that of making an appointment with a practitioner. And that is where this person is stuck right now. If that is you, please just for now, make that first step and stick to it. You can be pleasantly surprised how much stronger it can make you.

Your 3-in-1 Hypnosis offer in Cape Town includes Stop Smoking EFT, Stop Smoking Kinesiology-based muscle-testing and Laser treatment, and Advanced Hypnosis. The Hypnosis helps to get messages through to your subconscious mind enabling you to succeed, the EFT releases blocks in the path of your success, and and the kinesiology-based muscle-testing and laser treatment gets answers from your subconscious mind about the reasons behind your smoking, in order to release them. Without the underlying reasons why you smoke, you no longer have any reason to smoke, and so you can let go of the cigarettes. I got some questions in my mailbox that I thought I should answer for everybody, in case you had their questions too.

Question

Where are you based?

Answer

City Centre, at the corner of Loop and Shortmarket Streets in the CBD, near Tamboerskloof, Vredehoek, Bo-Kaap, Mowbray, Observatory, Sea Point, Green Point, Woodstock, Devils Peak, Gardens, Higgovale, Oranjezicht, Claremont, Rondebosch, Constantia, Century City, and accessible from all of The Western Cape, including Durbanville, Parow, Tableview, Milnerton, Haut Bay, Newlands, just to name a few. I also do the occasional home visit in and around Tableview.

Question

You mention qualifying for the 1st session; what does that mean exactly?

Answer

My hypnosis is not one-formula-fits-all. It is tailor-made to suit you. When you first see me, we sit down and I fill out a Client History Form. I ask you many searching questions that help me determine whether you are suitable for the one-session route or whether I should advise that we should work more through the underlying issues first. If, like the majority of overseas clients, who have far less daily stress to contend with than Capetonians, you qualify for the one-session route, then we keep working until every situation I put you in, on a scale of 0-10 of smoking desire, there is negligible desire. This we determine in the session itself, so there is no guesswork. Otherwise, you are best on the 6-session plan, with some being able to quit in 3 sessions. We will know when you come for your first session, and there is no need to make a decision before then.

Question

And the sessions after that is only if I feel the need to again ie a craving returning?

Answer

If at the end of the first session, you have say a smoking desire of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc in any one situation, then I schedule another session for you. We then make a pact for you to smoke a lower number of cigarettes that is achievable, and cut down further in each session until you have totally quit in relative comfort. Remember, there is no guesswork with my method. You know exactly where you are.

If for any reason, we get it all down to a negligible level but either you or I miss a situation and you experience that situation afterwards, then you simply call me to schedule another session. The most common thing that goes wrong is sudden extreme stress, like a home that literally collapses, loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or illness, which can be so stressful, that the ex-smoker picks up a cigarette in a moment of weakness and becomes an addict again (all it takes is one cigarette). I say it is the most common, however it is very unlikely – it happens to only about 3% of my clients.

Question

I am in Cape Town for two days, and I wanted to see you. When we had a brief chat on the phone last week, you told me that I was in the minority of smokers that need nearer to the full 6 sessions you offer in your scheme, rather than the one session. Now I don’t know what to do, because I live too far to travel each week for a session.

Answer

Whilst it is true that most people prefer to see me for the first session, I do have clients all over the world who do treatments with me on the phone; some even in Cape Town, who simply prefer not to drive to me after a long day’s work. Some weeks I even do more sessions on the phone than in person. You can attend the first session in person. We can even have a break, re-convene, and carry on. Time is not the limit in my sessions, so you can relax about that. Then we can schedule more sessions over the phone. You can easily hold the phone whilst going into a state of relaxation.

Since starting NewAgeTherapies in Cape Town, I have had visits from various places, including Mozambique, Cameroon, Gauteng, and the USA.

Question

I am not sure if I am hypnotizable.

Answer

1. Nobody becomes unconscious in hypnosis. That is purely a myth, perpetrated by dramatic hypnosis shows, where, incidentally, the participants do not become unconscious either. I guarantee you 100% that you will not become unconscious. It will not happen, so do not expect it. Hypnosis is just a slight state of relaxation, which for some people is deeper.
2. The depth of relaxation or trance has absolutely no bearing on the results, so you do not need to worry about how deep you can go.
3. Children are hypnotized whilst they are still playing, wide awake, and moving about with their eyes wide open. Being awake does not mean that the hypnotic messages are not going into your subconscious mind.
4. I use at least 3 techniques in my treatment. Hypnosis is just one of them, and not necessarily the most effective, although it is the best-known. You do not even need to have hypnosis in the first place. So if you have any worries about hypnosis, rest assured that you do not have to have it. All you want is to stop smoking. The purpose of the exercise is not so that you get hypnotized, but so that you stop smoking, right? If I help you stop smoking, even if you did not feel hypnotized, does it matter? Of course not! Focus on what you want. What you want is to stop smoking.

Question

Why do you want me to release the reasons behind my smoking? Can´t you just make me hate cigarettes or forget about them? Surely that is what hypnosis is about.

Answer

If that is what you want, then don´t come to me, because in my experience, that can have unwanted side-effects; whereas releasing the underlying reasons to smoking I find a better long-term option. My initial hypnotherapy diploma training in the UK was to find the root of the problem and help the client with that root cause, or those root causes. It is far better than just treating the symptom, and this is why. I have seen clients who have stopped smoking elsewhere by pretending smoking is just a habit without reason, and they developed a number of problems that may be even worse than the smoking was in the first place. For example:

1. Depression that suddenly appeared from nowhere mysteriously just after stopping smoking, including feeling suicidal.
2. Bulimia.
3. Addiction to narcotics such as cocaine or tik that, again, suddenly appeared from nowhere mysteriously shortly after stopping smoking.

Because these people stopped smoking whilst denying that there were good reasons why they smoked, they did not solve the original problem they had in the first place. And so they developed another problem that replaced the smoking. Better to resolve the reasons why you smoke, and then you can be truly free.

Question

I keep thinking in terms of an hourly rate. This seems like a good deal, up to 6 sessions and 5 years. Please explain.

Answer

It is strange for South Africa, but eventually many hypnotists will be doing it this way. In other countries, it is normal to charge per result for hypnosis or hypnotherapy rather than per hour. I am from such a country (UK) and I find that South Africans like this new way of charging, because it is fairer. Payment is upfront at the very beginning.

Remember, you get Hypnosis, Kinesiology-based muscle testing and Laser, and EFT, an Advanced Hypnosis package that is totally unique, using my skills and experience for a version tailor-made for your requirements. For your success.

We are open 8 am to 8 pm Monday – Friday and 9:30 am to 6 pm weekends, subject to availability, so you can easily fit your treatment into your life. No more excuses!

Don’t wait till you suffer a heart attack or emphysema. And if you have already, it is even more urgent that you act now! And if you are smoking and pregnant, make sure you call me now for your appointment. You’ll be glad you did. I want to set you free from smoking forever. What’s more, I want you to refer your friends and family, so that they can benefit too.

“JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW. IT IS MY 4TH DAY NOW AND I AM GOING STILL STRONG AT IT. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME.” Jayne, Cape Town

And Michelle, also from Cape Town, sent the following SMS about a follow-up appointment scheduled for a month after she quit: “Hello there, I am still doing great! I’m going to skip the appointment [tomorrow]… I’m very happy and proud … Thanks for your support.”

Typically, my ex-smoker clients refer many others to me. Like John, who referred 11 clients in a three-month period after attending his stop smoking hypnotherapy session when I was a hypnotherapist in the UK (I moved to Cape Town for love and marriage). After all, this is an essential freedom – to breathe, to have a tongue, voicebox, legs, a heartbeat, the things you took for granted when you (or your loved one) started smoking, are no longer secure. The smoking is killing you or a loved one now, and that is why you are reading this.

How Much For This Life-Saving Treatment?

Anyone can quit smoking – you do it every night when you are asleep! But the trick is to stay quit! My sessions are very generous, at least 2 hours for the first session, then usually up to 2 hours for subsequent sessions. Now, I know the nature of addiction. An addiction will twist your mind many times over, it will lie to you till you lie to yourself, it will trick you at every opportunity. The temptation to attend one session for an hour and pretend you are cured is bigger than you can ever imagine. So I have come up with a very special offer for smokers who are serious about quitting, regardless of the route you personally need to take, whether 1, 3, or even 6 sessions. I am offering a unique combination of Advanced Hypnosis, EFT, and Laser. Smoke Enders for about 2500 offer six very short classes over six weeks, and every single time, the presenters completely ignore the reasons why you smoke; and at the end of it, I am told by attendees that a certificate of quitting smoking is given, with a good portion of attendees lying about their quitting in order to save face. The Allen Carr method, R2150 for a one-day class with many other attendees, promise a 90% success rate, but that is in the first 3 months, this goes down afterwards. And compare Zyban at 30% after a year, nicotine gum or patches at 14-17% and a mere hypnosis recording at up to 60% (hypnosis figures from the New Scientist in the 1990s) after a year,  and I think you get the picture. The New Scientist found hypnosis to be the most effective method of stopping smoking. And modern hypnotists use every new technique they are trained in to help you quit faster, more efficiently, easier, and most importantly, for your successful result for good. My 3-in-1 offer is available today for a mere R2900 and covers you for up to 6 sessions of about 2 hours each; and with one reserve session just-in-case, for up to 5 years in total. This is so low because I really want you to come to me and experience this excellent 3-in-1 method, because I know you will tell your friends, family, and colleagues of your success. And we take credit cards too, so you don´t have to worry about anything!

Your Budget

Some people quite like the idea of the 6-session route, but budget gets in the way. No problem, a group of 3 sessions are currently only R1600.  If you are not sure and want to talk it over, just call me on 072 700 5334, and we will take it on from there.

And… There’s More…

I am often asked: What if it doesn’t work? Well, we do not take guesses at this. How do I know you get results? Simple, I test, test and test. For example, I may put your cigarettes in front of you, place them in your hand (unlit of course), and together we assess for success.

Location – Where is it?

My calm studio is located in the heart of the city, at the corner of Shortmarket Street and Loop Street. There is parking usually in the street opposite the building, or you can park nearby.  Times available are from 8 AM to 8 PM weekdays and 9:30 AM to 6 PM weekends.

Get back in control; call me now on 072 700 5334 for a new beginning.
