In this post I will show you, a hypnotist, how to help people stop smoking.
Do you think that if your client will be in a state of deep hypnosis, he or she will stop smoking for sure? This is wrong thinking! Forget about hypnosis for now!
Embed in your brain that you are not only a hypnotist but also a professional who helps people stop smoking. Now realize that a person who wants to stop smoking has a reason for that.
If you are in business of helping people stop smoking, you have to select only those clients who have serious reasons to become non-smokers. Otherwise you will be working with smokers who resist your suggestion strongly.
Select your best client during a FREE consultation over the phone
When a potential client calls me for a FREE consultation, I always ask him or her why they want to stop smoking. If they say that they have serious health problem caused by smoking, I know these people will become non-smokers easily.
But if they say something like a stinky smell bothers them, or cigarettes are too expansive, this is not a serious reason to stop smoking! Those people will not become non-smokers even after 12 sessions.
Of course, you have to warn your potential client during a FREE consultation over the phone that hypnosis is not magic. If a client agrees with you, it is a good sign.
The last thing of your talk with your potential client is your fees for a session. Say it confidently without any emotional tone of your voice.
If your client says that it is too much, don’t continue talking because your potential client is not really interested.
How to help people stop smoking
You may wander how to help your potential client stop smoking during a session. Here is how I work with my clients at my office. When my clients came, I ask them to fill out a intake form. Than I ask them about their smoking problem.
Then I do simple test for suggestibility to see if my client has some resistance. If he or she shows resistance then I will say them that we don’t need deep hypnosis and ask them to just keep eyes closed during a session.
During a session I suggest that my client’s desire to smoke cigarettes is fading away. I say it loudly and repeat it many times. Also, I suggest that my client will experience no withdrawal.
Don’t worry about level of hypnosis when you work with your clients, because if you have carefully selected your client during a FREE consultation, your client will stop smoking in any state of hypnosis or even without hypnosis.
Does your client really need 2nd session? Usually not! But if you said that it takes 2 sessions to stop smoking then if they didn’t stop smoking after first session, they can come 2nd time, of course.
Without rapport with your client success is not possible
The success of your session greatly depends on your rapport with your client. If you feel that your client somehow is not cooperative with you, then it means there is no rapport between you two.
When this happens do anything you can, in order to establish rapport with your client.
Actually you need to pay attention to your intuition during your FREE consultation with your potential client. If you feel that he or she is not listening to you or they don’t answer your questions, it means no rapport.
So as you may notice now that hypnosis itself is not really important when you help your clients stop smoking cigarettes. Your rapport with your client, and willingness of your client to become a non-smoker, are very important.
