Most clients who visit EcoMindz have tried several ways to stop smoking like cold turkey, nicotine patches, medications, and more.  When you try you are using willpower and the conscious part of your mind.

With Hypnotherapy we can go much deeper, into your subconscious mind, which drives 95% of your life.  We also instill new coping strategies because from experience we have seen that smoking may have become a coping strategy.  It may not have started this way, as some started smoking cigarettes at school age and the reasons were perhaps that it was the cool thing to do but over the years this may have shifted to an association of relaxation.

See, for some, the brain has associated vaping or more so cigarettes with being social or relaxing so we think it relaxes but it does not. With vaping, it has become a habit, almost like an extra limb to carry around and you may feel you have absolutely no control over it.

I, Genine Raats, founder and Clinical Hypnotherapist used to be a smoker too and have successfully stopped with the help of Hypnosis.

Our clients say that they just do not feel like or have any cravings after Hypnotherapy.  The thought of smoking/vaping stays a little longer as this is a neural pathway and habit built over years for some. When trying your own willpower it is the craving that really tips one over to just have another vape/cigarette, is it not?!

Our clients become non-smokers in as little as one session and can come up to 5 sessions especially if anxiety and stress were typical drivers when smoking has become a coping strategy.

Take back control, let’s access the power of your subconscious mind!

You may book online with no deposit or pay in full.  The full fee is however required at your consultation. If a booking is cancelled and rescheduled, no fees are payable. If a booking is cancelled with no rescheduling, a 30% cancellation fee is required. Payment can be made before or during your consultation. A prepaid 3-session pack can be purchased during or after your first consultation with EcoMindz. Pack sessions must be used within 3 months from purchase, any sessions left after 3 months will be forfeited.

In the sessions, which are typically an hour each, we will use different strategies and techniques as well as build new skills, each individually tailored to you. The introductory session includes a 20 minute obligation free session. Should you not wish to continue, you will be refunded in full. Each session, including the introductory session, will consist of learning about you, what brings you to us, what your goals are, how we can help, some knowledge around techniques used and expectations. You will also have some homework for you to do. Don’t worry – it is very enjoyable and takes minimal time so it can fit into your daily life which is building and cementing your newly learned skills.

You certainly do. Therapy is a 2-way relationship and requires input and effort from both therapist and client in order to achieve a desired outcome. If you wish to exclude any type of technique used, discuss it with your therapist in your session.  The therapist will explain the positives and negatives of treatment techniques so you are fully informed when making decisions.

Methods we are using:

We make use of a modern form of hypnotherapy, compared to traditional hypnotherapy, which has a significantly higher success rate. Our techniques are influenced by the late Dr. Milton Erickson, a well known and successful Psychiatrist in America who used a variety of techniques to successfully treat patients. This form is found to have a much greater result in therapeutic behavioural change.

NLP was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It involves the connection between your neurological processes (how we perceive the world), language (how we communicate) and programming (habitual patterns which determines how we operate in the world). NLP as a therapeutic tool is used to change these patterns and processes in order to achieve a particular goal. NLP is known as a successful treatment of depression, phobias, and anxiety, as well as a development tool in corporate businesses for leadership training.

Hypnosis by itself is merely a relaxed state of focused attention, a natural, healthy state of mind. We use hypnosis as the vehicle to provide therapy to get an outcome for our client. There is a world of a difference between what we do and what stage hypnotists do, which has no therapeutic outcome or any healing effect whatsoever.

That moment in the morning when you wake up and can hear the sounds around you but you are not fully aware yet, or when you drive back home and when you get there you realise you cannot remember half the road because you were in deep thought, that is examples of natural occurring hypnosis states. Daydreaming is another form of self hypnosis. If you have experienced anything like this you can be hypnotised.

Strategic Psychotherapy used with hypnosis as the vehicle to deliver the therapy is a highly affective method with a faster outcome rate than without. Psychotherapy is a talk therapy combining a variety of techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). It is used as a psychological treatment for a variety of mental health challenges. Strategic psychotherapy asks “how do you do that” and not “why do you do that” in order to change behaviour to give you a different outcome than before.
