I am a therapist and I use hypnosis to help customers quit smoking. So you want me to say that the most important part of the smoking cessation program is your hypnosis session.

Maybe this will be hypnotic induction, or the use of secret hypnosis words. Maybe your homework keeps you on track.

Of course, every part is important, but some of the parts I ask are more important than others. This is the hypnotist who called you and told you to schedule an appointment to quit.

In many cases, a phone call is just an appointment for a customer or a sales opportunity for a practitioner. But this is a more chance.

This is an opportunity to discuss your issue with interested strangers. It reminds you of the deeper reasons for quitting smoking, not the usual health and family, which is good, but not specific or strong enough to motivate you to quit.

Your doctor can gain insight into your health and find all the ways in which cigarettes affect you and the people you love. The key is not to make you feel bad, but to motivate you to take the final step and completely commit to quitting smoking.

Sometimes there will be unexpected changes in the conversation, and occasionally I will tell people not to make an appointment when they call, for two specific reasons.

1. This person will not give up on his own. They are succumbing to pressure from friends, family, partners and so on. Quitting smoking is a career that requires commitment. If they just want to please others, hypnosis will fail.
2. This person is not a commitment to himself. They know that smoking cessation is a good idea. They know they should quit. They may even know all the health problems, but they are still not ready to quit.

In this case, it is wrong to force a person to leave the meeting, which will fail and undermine their future hypnosis experience. If this is you, I believe that you will appreciate honesty.

I encourage you to make sure that you have a conversation with your doctor. If they don't spend a few minutes with you to find other places, because your health is too important, you can't entrust you to feel that you won't do your best. People.
