Why this man doesn’t want you to “quit” smoking?
from: Kristene Schlitten Posted by www.iwanttoquitsmoking.com The Stop Smoking Hypnosis people.
When Aaron Kershaw, West1Media CEO, quit smoking using hypnosis we at Westchester1.com (a division of West1Media) became quite curious.
We asked George Wissing, Westchester and Rockland’s premier Smoking Cessation Specialist, how he helped Aaron “quit”. Maybe we should have worded our question differently. Mr. Wissing stated, “We are not wired to “quit” or lose anything – our mind is designed to perform as reliably as gravity.”
The word “quit” does seem to be almost synonymous with stopping smoking so we were surprised that Mr. Wissing took exception to this word. He continued, “Your inner mind takes what we say very literally and words like “quit’ and “lose” (referring to ‘losing’ weight) have negative meaning. We are taught to never quit. We like to win not lose. Your mind is more likely to support goals if they are worded in a more positive manner.”
Changing negatively worded goals to positive ones seems to be quite an easy thing to do. In other words it is better to set your goals in positive terms such as; “I am a non-smoker” or ”I now live a healthy lifestyle”. “Quitting and losing are synonymous with failure and can fight your inner nature,” says Mr. Wissing.
Certified by both the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the International Hypnosis Federation, Mr. Wissing sees clients in Westchester and Rockland for private hypnosis sessions. He helps people reduce weight, stop smoking, get over bad habits, relieve fears and even helps clients reduce chronic pain. But is it true that he can help people in only one hour? We checked this out with our CEO Aaron Kershaw.
“When I first saw the brochure to ‘Stop Smoking in One Hour’ I laughed and laughed,” said Mr. Kershaw. “But I finally made the call and after a one-hour session I haven’t smoked a single cigarette since. I obviously believe in the cause.”
The American Medical Association has recognized hypnosis as a viable therapeutic technique for years but the advent of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has taken hypnosis to a new level. Mr. Wissing explains, “We often talk to ourselves in quite a negative and unfocused manner. NLP uses positive and focused techniques to make positive change in our lives and behaviors.”
But how does Hypnosis and NLP work so quickly? Mr. Wissing explains, “Hypnosis and NLP are very efficient at breaking habits. The way your mind communicates to your body is usually unnoticed but becomes obvious (urges) when we want to change a habitual behavior. Once your mind changes, urges subside. It’s that easy”
Sounds like a winning strategy to us. Why not get the assistance you may need to stop smoking or make other positive changes in your life?
