STOP SMOKING REGRESSION SCRIPT

How to use regression for smoking

This script is an example of a stop smoking regression script. It shows how to use the hypnotic regression method to stop someone smoking, or rather to stop them from starting again. The majority of clients need only one session to stop smoking but some habits are more persistent than others.

This client had already been for one session to stop smoking, along with his wife. He and his wife both stopped smoking immediately and with no cravings or side effects, but after four weeks or so he began to think about smoking again, and in fact bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked some, much to his wife's dismay and anger.

After four weeks without cigarettes, all the nicotine had left his body, and all of the possible triggers had become extinct, so the only reason he would want to smoke again was because of an continuing belief about smoking.

The regression therapy was used to find, identity and then remove that unconscious belief. The regression process was embedded in a long metaphor about scoring goals consistently. The metaphor chosen used rugby because the client was a fan, but any sport could be used. The script is broken into sections but was delivered in one continuous session.
