Stop Smoking Hertfordshire

The government backed Stoptober campaign which runs throughout October 2014 is nearly upon us again. At Balance Hypnosis St Albans we support this initiative which aims to help smokers quit smoking for at least 28 days. If you are looking for Stop Smoking Hertfordshire then we are running campaigns during the month which can help you to quit.

During Stoptober the government offers free packs to help you to quit the habit. The belief is that if you can manage to quit for a period of 28 days then you are far more likely to be able to quit for good. This benefit increases even further if you can give up at the same time as a family member or a friend. This is why at our Stop Smoking Hertfordshire clinic we encourage you to come in and visit us alongside your personal supporters.

Our Stop Smoking Hypnosis sessions last for approximately 2 hours or alternatively 2 one hour sessions. During this time you will be given a full assessment consultation so that we can understand your habits and smoking associations. We will spend considerable time with you giving you methods on breaking those associations as well as explaining the health benefits of quitting for good. We may also cover issues relating to stress reduction and how to avoid turning to food once you have quit the smoking habit. Once we have run through all this information you will be given a relaxing hypnosis session using suggestion hypnosis to reinforce everything that we have discussed.

Our Stop Smoking Hertfordshire sessions also include a free Stop Smoking Mp3 Download for you to listen to following your session. This can be bought as a stand alone item by clicking this link - Stop Smoking Download Itunes.

Real Gastric Band Surgery or Gastric Band Hypnotherapy?

So you are overweight and you have been for years and no diet seems to be helping. You have tried all the usual diet companies, you have cut out food groups, starved yourself and even tried fasting but after an initial weight loss you find that the pounds just pile straight back on. You know that there is the option for surgery and yes it is costly but surely it is guaranteed to work? Then you hear about a new treatment called gastric band hypnotherapy and you wonder if that can that help.

This is a dilemma that so many of my clients speak to me about. They ring for an initial free consultation and they are scared of drastic surgery but they also feel it is their only hope. They want to know about the Hypno-Band because they have read about it in the press but they can't see how it can help them. So what are the facts.

My first discussion with them is usually about the surgery and I do everything I can to persuade people not to have it. Not just because it is very expensive and risky but because most people are unaware that it doesn't always work. In fact gastric band surgery has quite a large failure rate. What the expensive cosmetic surgery clinics don't tell you is that five years after surgery a third of people who have had the operation have not lost a significant amount of weight. After ten years this figure rises to two thirds of people who have had the operation. To make matters worse a third of patients who have the surgery require the operation to be redone because of complications.

So why is this? Simply put weight loss is all to do with your mind. Yes you can have expensive surgery but if your mind is not in the right place you can cheat the band. This is why hypnotherapy is often a better option because it can help you to find out why you are overeating. When you understand what your problem is then it is much easier to fix the problem. Surgery doesn't help change your mindset it just offers a quick fix.

Remember you need to understand why you are overeating to have any chance of making the changes that you desperately want. This can be accomplished through hypnosis or other forms of talking therapy taking place over a period of months. When your mind is in the right place then nothing can prevent you from achieving your goals.
