Hypnosis can help you succeed when
nothing else has worked!

Hypnosis helps everyday people overcome everyday problems and can help you succeed when nothing else has worked. Hypnosis is one of the fastest growing fields of human achievement. As hypnotherapists, we are working with people who are frustrated because nothing else has helped them achieve their goals. They have tried every other avenue that they can think of without success. We use hypnosis, hypnotherapy and teach self-hypnosis so that people like you can succeed in making important changes.

With hypnosis, you are able to unlock the power of the mind to create lasting positive changes in your life. Hypnosis has been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958 and is the key to unlocking your potential and coping with life's challenges.

Hypnosis and Smoking Cessation

 

Hypnosis has helped millions of people stop smoking and take back control for good. Even celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres and Matt Damon have used hypnosis to stop smoking.

Studies have shown that hypnosis is the most effective method of stopping smoking for good. More effective than nicotine replacement, more effective than will-power, more effective than acupuncture, and more effective than self-help books and tapes.1

• So, why do people keep smoking? It's a habit. But what exactly is a habit? A habit is when you automatically think about doing something. A habit is just simply responding to a thought. You have thought about doing thousands of things and then simply decided not to do them. You might have thought about buying something and then decided the money would be better spent on something else. The same is true for cigarettes.2

  So why do people start smoking?

  • To alleviate stress, life problems
  • Peer pressure and social acceptance
  • Family history (Parents or relatives smoke)
  • Wanting to appear mature, self-confident, and independent
  • People with tendencies toward risk taking behaviors

  With hypnosis, we can greatly reduce or eliminate the withdrawal symptoms from stopping smoking. You are able to experience freedom from tobacco without pain, shaking, depression, anxiety or weight gain. Always remember the fact that withdrawal from nicotine is a temporary condition.

  How does smoking affect your health?

  Smoking has an adverse affect on your health. Adverse health conditions begin before birth, if your mother smoked while pregnant, and continues across your life span.

  The risks to the unborn child are great when a woman continues to smoke during pregnancy.

  • Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of pregnancy complications, premature delivery, low birth weight, stillbirth, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Low birth weight is the leading cause of infant deaths. (More than 300,000 deaths in the United States among newborns)
  • Mothers' who smoke during pregnancy reduce their babies' lung function resulting in health problems such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis in the child.
  • Babies exposed to secondhand smoke after birth are at twice the risk for SIDS and infants whose mother smoked before and after birth are at three to four times a greater risk for SIDS.
  • The nicotine in cigarettes has more adverse health effects during pregnancy. It may cause constriction in the blood vessles of the uterus and umbilical cord, thus decreasing the amount of oxygen available to the fetus.
  • If current tobacco use patterns continue, an estimated 6.4 million children will die prematurely from a smoking-related disease.

  Smoking while pregnant not only harms yourself but also can have long lasting effects on your baby.

  Smoking for teenagers and adults is just as harmful to your health and those around you.

  • Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and reducing the health of the smoker.
  • Half of long-term smokers will die from tobacco. Every cigarette smoked cuts at least five minutes of life on average.
  • Smoking related diseases kill one in 10 adults globally or causes four millions deaths annually.
  • Every eight seconds, someone dies from tobacco use.
  • Cigarettes cause more than one in five American deaths.
  • More than 4,000 toxic or carcinogenic chemical have been found in tobacco smoke. Click here for a list of some of the chemicals.
  • Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death. It is a prime factor in heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease. It can cause cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, throat, mouth, stomach, and bladder. It is contributes to cancer of the cervix, pancreas, and kidneys. The list of diseases caused by smoking also includes abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute myeloid leukemia, pneumonia, and periodontitis.
  • Smoking also causes cataracts and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Increasing the risk for fractures in the elderly.

  Is smoking really worth all of the health risks? 100% of humans start out life as non-smokers, if you were a non-smoker once, you can become a non-smoker again and hypnosis can help. Hypnosis has helped many people stop smoking when nothing else has worked. Hypnosis can help you stop smoking for good and finally free yourself from that old-destructive habit and bring the emotional freedom and personal well-being that so many people are looking for.

  What are the benefits from stop smoking?

  When you quit smoking, the benefits begin within minutes of your last cigarette.

  • Immediately: The air around you is no longer harmful to adults and children.
  • 20 minutes after you quit: Your blood pressure and pulse rate decrease and your body temperature of your hands and feet increase.
  • 8 hours: Carbon monoxide and oxygen levels return to normal.
  • 24 hours: Your chance of a heart attack decreases.
  • 48 hours: Your nerve endings start regrowing and your sense of smell and taste improve.
  • Between 2 weeks and 3 months: Your circulation and breathing improves and walking becomes easier.
  • Between 1 to 9 months: You may notice that your coughing, fatigue, sinus congestion, and shortness of breath decrease. Your energy levels will also be increasing.
  • 1 year smoke free: Your excess risk of coronary heart disease is decreased to half that of a smoker.
  • 5 years smoke free: Your risk of a stroke is reduced to that of a non-smoker.
  • 10 years smoke free: Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas greatly decreases. Also your risk of an ulcer decreases and the risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one-half of continuing smokers.
  • 15 years smoke free: Your risk of coronary heart disease and overall life expectancy is similiar to a person who has never smoked.

  The changes you will go through when you stop smoking will affect more than your physical health. Your confidence and self-esteem will soar the longer you are smoke-free and hypnosis can help you with that life choice.

  We offer two hypnosis programs for stop smoking.

  The first hypnosis program we offer is what we call the "Stop Right Now" program. This hypnosis program is for the individual who is highly motivated to quit smoking. This person has smoked for less than 10 years and has been able to quit easily in the past, and just has difficulty making it permanent. This hypnosis program requires two sessions to make the stop smoking permanent even though most people will stop smoking after the first session. The second hypnosis session in this program is the most important because it will sever any mental or emotional ties to the cigarettes. The hypnosis sessions are scheduled 2-5 days apart.

  The second hypnosis program we offer is our "Hard-Core Smoker" program. This hypnosis program is our therapeutic program which usually takes 4-5 sessions to complete. This program is designed for the person who has tried to quit before and it became too stressful, emotional, or upsetting. Family members or friends may have begged this person to start smoking again. This type of smoker has smoked for 15 years or more and the cigarette has become their buddy.

  Just like the "Stop Smoking Now" program, the first and second hypnosis sessions are scheduled 2-5 days apart and each subsequent session is scheduled about a week apart. The first hypnosis session in both of our programs, gives our client hope and causes them to feel good about hypnosis. The client also begin to experience some relief and improvement and is able to either greatly reduce or give up smoking for good. The real work begins in the second session. Starting with the second hypnosis session, we begin to eliminate the driving force behind why people smoke to bring calmness and peace into their lives and the feeling of satisfaction that they can succeed in becoming a non-smoker for good. Each subsequent session builds on the other and uses a different approach to truly bring emotional freedom and personal well-being into our clients lives.

  If you are truly driven to stop smoking for good, hypnosis will help you ease through the transition from smoker to non-smoker and make the permanent change that you are looking for.

  Hypnosis and Weight Loss

  Hypnosis can help you lose weight when diets have failed!!!

  The first thing I'd like to say is that this program is NOT a diet program!!!! We will not deprive you of anything. With hypnosis, we will help you to gain control of your eating habits. Eating when you are truly hungry. Whether you want to lose a 100 pounds or just the last few pounds to get to your ideal body weight, hypnosis can help.

  Hypnosis is a proven way to change old habits such as over-eating, eating from emotions, smoking, fears, or stress/anxiety. With hypnosis, we will help you to change life-long eating patterns that have resulted in you being overweight.

  What causes weight gain?

  Ultimately, what causes weight gain is taking in more calories than you burn. You could exercise for 30 minutes to an hour and burn anywhere from 100-1000 calories depending on your exercise, but how long would it take for you to put those calories back in? If you were to go to McDonald's and order a Big Mac and a medium french fry, you would have consumed 940 calories in just a few minutes.With hypnosis, we will help you to eat when you are truly hungry, eat smaller portions, and make healthier choices in food. Click here to find out about how many calories certain exercises burn. Exercise:MayoClinic. Or for more information regarding weight loss issues, click here. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/

  The reason most people fail at weight loss is that the approach that they use is just too simplistic. Dieting alone will end in failure for most people. Most people who come to us have tried diets and/or exercise programs and have failed. They have failed because the old programming is still there.

  Using hypnosis, specifically the 5-PATH approach, we remove the old programming that is causing you to eat out of habit and emotions, and increase your desire to exercise more. Hypnosis, when done properly, is able to make the changes in your subconscious so you are no longer out of control with eating out of emotions or habits and will help eliminate snacking in-between meals. No longer will food control you. You are back in control. Hypnosis will increase your confidence that you will succeed. Diet programs alone are unable to do this.

  With our program, we work on changing your eating patterns. We basically change your relationship with food. What we have discovered from working with thousands of clients, is that being overweight is not about food. It is more about old habits and the feelings and emotions that trigger you to eat or snack even when you are not hungry. Food is only the distractor for those feelings and emotions that you don't like and don't know what to do about them.

  Some examples of these feeling and emotions are: stress, anger, guilt, boredom, pain, ..etc. With hypnosis, we are able to help you identify those feelings and bring them to the surface so we can help you neutralize or eliminate them. Once these feelings are resolved, then food is no longer attractive, as a result you lose weight and start feeling good about yourself.

  The weight loss program that we offer usually takes 4-6 sessions, the sessions are scheduled about a week apart. In a few cases, more sessions may be required to reach your goal weight. All our sessions are one-on-one. The sessions are approximately 1 - 1-1/2 hours long, except for the frist session. Plan on being here about 2-1/2 hours as we have a couple of videos for you to watch and some paperwork for you to fill out before your session.

  Hypnosis can help you succeed when all else has failed. With hypnosis, we can help you achieve the weight loss that you desire. Feel free to contact us at (763) 208-7194 or (612) 388-3292 or by email at GregHoffman@HoffmanHypnosis.com to schedule your appointments or to answer any other questions that you may have.

  Hypnosis For Confidence & Self-Esteem

  Imagine how much your life and things in your life would improve with an increased belief in yourself. An increase in your confidence and self-esteem. I'd like you to take a moment right now and imagine yourself with more confidence and a greater respect for yourself. Imagine bringing that confidence in yourself to the workplace, feeling confident in your ability to get up and give a speech, to work towards the advancement or the pay raise that you know could be yours. Imagine having the confidence to meet new people, whether it's a new client or out on the dating scene. Yes, hypnosis can even increase your dating by giving you the confidence to talk to new and interesting people. Hypnosis can help you believe in yourself and your abilities. Helping you to feel good about yourself.

  When you were growing up or even now as an adult, has anyone ever told you:

  "You are such a loser!"
  "You will never amount to anything!"
  "I can't believe how stupid you are!"
  "Nobody wants you here, just leave.
  "You can't do that, why even try."
  "You are worthless just like your (mom/dad/sibling), they never amounted to anything either!"

  If you have ever been told this or anything like this, you know what it is like to be without confidence and lacking self-esteem. You have taken all of this negativity and started believing in it. You believe you aren't worthy. You aren't good enough. That you can't do it.

  All confidence and self-esteem issues arise because of the thoughts and feelings you have about yourself. Nearly all of these issues stem from something that has happened in your youth when you accepted these ideas into your mind regardless of whether they were true or not.

  With hypnosis, we can change that programming, the stinkin' thinkin', and set you free. Free yourself from this pattern of behavior by undoing the programming that has taken root within your mind. Letting the real you out. The one who can feel happy, relaxed and in control of any situation.

  At some level, all confidence and self-esteem issues involve FEAR and once your inner fears are resolved, you will feel happier, lighter and free to get on and enjoy your life. The life you are meant to have and live. Confident and worthy.

  With hypnosis, we will eliminate the stinkin' thinkin', the negative thoughts and ideas that may be holding the real you back. The happier, more confident and outgoing you. We will build your confidence and self-esteem and you will realize your own personal power and be free to enjoy the success you deserve. When you believe in yourself, others will too.

  An important point to remember for anyone suffering from lack of confidence or low self esteem, is that you were not born this way. We are all born WITH confidence, babies are confident. They cry and they expect to be fed, they explore and they have no fear. Lack of confidence and low self esteem are learned and what has been learned can be unlearned!

  Hypnosis can help you succeed and give you your confidence and self-esteem back. Feel free to contact us at (763) 208-7194 or (612) 388-3292 or by email at GregHoffman@HoffmanHypnosis.com to schedule your appointments or to answer any other questions that you may have.

  "You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully."
  - Tony Robbins
