Have you already made a couple of attempts at quitting smoking? Were you successful? Chapeau! Congratulations!\u00a0<\/p>\n
And to everyone else I want to say, don’t give up. According to controlled studies, the chance of success with hypnotherapy is between 20% and almost 50%. In comparison to other smoking cessation programs, the results achieved by hypnotherapy are higher. About 3% to 10% manage to quit on their own, without professional support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Experience shows that it is best to schedule between three and six sessions. Quitting is one thing but to remain abstinent in the long term is another. Unfortunately, there is not a 100% guarantee for success. Nevertheless, compared to other programs, hypnotherapy offers you a particularly good chance at staying away from cigarettes permanently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201eI\u2019ve had enough! I want to live a healthy life again. I feel my body withering.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eMy hair, my skin, my clothes. Everything stinks. I am disgusted by myself.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eMy partner doesn’t want to kiss me anymore.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI love to cook, but I hardly taste or smell anything.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI could do so much with the money I save.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI want to grow old healthily.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI want to have a strong immune system.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI want to become fit again and do more sports.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI want to be a good role model for my children, in everything.\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201eI can’t let cigarettes rule my life. I want to take back control!\u201c<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n These three success factors can determine whether you are among those who will manage to quit smoking forever:<\/p>\n I will gladly support you through this journey, individually and with the help of effective hypnosis techniques. Whenever you are ready, I am here for you. Your second life is precious and waiting for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 01<\/p>\n The first step into unknown territory is often not easy and requires courage. I consider it a good idea to have a short conversation over the phone before your first personal visit to my practice in Walchwil, at your house, or online. The purpose is to find out your concerns and goals and to discuss the preparation for your first visit and possible future collaboration. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and understood in the context of our cooperation.<\/p>\n This call lasts about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 02<\/p>\n Whether in person or online, the preliminary conversation focuses on getting to know each other and getting an in-depth understanding of the issue, your history, your life circumstances and your goals. You can lean back and relax. Here, your concerns may be “put on the table” and we will discuss the next steps. I invite you to ask me any questions you may still have regarding hypnosis therapy, coaching or mentoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n A typical preliminary session lasts about 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 03<\/p>\n What should you bring along?<\/strong><\/p>\n Motivation and the will to make a healthy change, coupled with a positive attitude and curiosity. In addition, it is also beneficial if you come to me at your own request. If you have a cold, please bring your nose and mouth protection (face mask) from home. It is recommended to refrain from caffeinated drinks 24 hours before the sessions. You should wear comfortable clothes, and after the sessions, allow yourself a little rest.<\/p>\n Each session lasts approximately 60-75 minutes. In some cases, it may be longer (in consultation with the client).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n What can you expect from me?<\/b><\/p>\n Empathy, attention, reliability, and methodical competence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 04<\/p>\n Depending on the topic, it is useful to start the week after our preliminary conversation. Sometimes just a few sessions are enough to notice the desired changes, but sometimes it takes longer. At the beginning, the interval between the sessions should be short, ideally one week. If some things have already been resolved and the pressure of suffering has decreased, then intervals of two to three weeks make sense. In case of irritable bowel syndrome and pain management, I advise you individually. Everything you always wanted to know about hypnotherapy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The trance is induced by specific speech and behavioural patterns. During hypnosis verbal repetitions and mental images are used by the therapist. Your focus and concentration are significantly increased. This makes you more open to engage in experiences. As a result, you can usually reach your therapy goals faster. Hypnotic trance causes you to be particularly attentive and (typically) pleasantly relaxed at the same time. You hear your therapist\u2019s voice, are aware of and alert to everything around you. You can also speak to the therapist or communicate non-verbally. Your consciousness is not switched off but calmed. You can choose to open your eyes and stand up at any time. Afterwards you remember everything that happened during the hypnosis.<\/p>\n Hypnotherapy is usually done with closed eyes. However, some treatments can also be carried out with open eyes. This can be, for example, a concentrated state during a conversation between you and the therapist (coach). The permissive approach (often referred to as Ericksonian Hypnotherapy) has proven to be very helpful in hypnosis. Here the unconscious is invited to join in and choose the path it wants to take. The hypnotic suggestions are thus usually not used directly but packed into stories. The conscious mind often does not understand these hypnotic stories at all, but they go directly to the subconscious. The choice to get involved is very important.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No. People who choose hypnosis typically do not come to lose control, but quite the opposite: to gain control. Namely, over parts of their life where they have had little control. Hypnosis helps you to remain the \u201cmaster of your senses\u201d. It can also help you to find new ways to access your feelings. For many, this is a crucial step to achieve their goals with hypnotherapy. In any case, you always have full control over what you say and do in a session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Let me reassure you: you only disclose what you want to and what is important to you in the process. In addition, a professionally trained and responsible therapist will not ask you about things that were not discussed before hypnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n This can happen and is often a sign of relaxation. After the session you may not remember every single word that was spoken. However, your subconscious will remember everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n No. There is never a danger of not waking up from hypnosis. Hypnotic trance is comparable to the state between waking up and sleeping. You always wake up from the trance, you are either woken up by the therapist or wake up by yourself. Most people report feeling rested and refreshed afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It depends on what you mean by side effects. After a hypnotherapy session you may experience dizziness or a little tiredness, like in the morning, just before getting up. These are natural reactions that usually subside quickly.<\/p>\n You may also experience a few nights of more intense dreaming or more daydreaming during the day. These changes usually do not last long. If hypnosis is performed correctly, there are no negative side effects, unlike with medication. Often clients report positive side effects or changes, they feel more \u201erelaxed\u201d or less harsh towards themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Hypnosis is a very effective method. However, it is not a miracle cure. The number of sessions you will need will depend on your individual circumstances and the topic you bring along. In many cases a few sessions are enough to achieve the desired goal. However, a positive change can usually be felt after the first session, even if the cause has not yet been completely addressed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It is not uncommon that the effects lasts for years. Every now and then it is necessary to reinforce new behavioural patterns again and usually a single refreshment after months or even years is sufficient. Often, however, no further sessions are necessary if you have established new behavioural patterns so successfully that the old behaviour is completely abandoned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Yes, I cooperate with family GPs often and well, as the situation requires. A partnership with them helps to focus on your recovery and your well-being, and is, hence, very important to me. Conventional medicine and the scientifically recognized method of hypnotherapy can complement each other sensibly and meaningfully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n Hypnotherapy is more effective than nicotine replacement therapy in improving smoking abstinence in patients hospitalized for a smoking-related illness, and could be an asset to post-discharge smoking cessation programs.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Carbon monoxide measurement as an objective therapy element in smoking cessation with hypnosis.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Group treatments are as effective as individual treatments and therefore can be seen as an alternative approach in smoking cessation using hypnosis.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/p>\n Hypnosis combined with nicotine patches compares favorably with standard behavioral counseling.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dr. Cornelie Schweizer: Das Praxisbuch der hypnotherapeutischen Raucherentw\u00f6hnung, Carl-Auer Verlag GmbH, 2018<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n My office is located in Walchwil, Canton Zug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n +41 76 570 8414<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n bb@barbarabauer.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n 47.1003,8.5133<\/p>\nThe good news<\/h2>\n
