Discussion
My mom had hypnotherapy 10 years ago to stop smoking, it worked for her, since she had the therapy she never touched them since. She was on 20 a day, smoked since she was 16, went to one session at the age of 43, and hasn't touched them since, now 53. Think it cost her £170 at the time.
Many years ago, as a guess 38years ago, I was going out for dinner and a few drinks with a mate and turned up at his house in Harlow. "Before we go", he said, "I've got an appointment with a hypnotist to stop smoking, wanna come?" Well when I stopped laughing, I agreed to go with him.
we turned up at a small, three bed semi in Harlow and met this unassuming old boy, Harry, who took us through to his spare bedroom set out like a living room with a couple of armchairs. He asks if we're both doing the treatment and I still can't stop smiling and say "no not me, I don't believe in it". He asks me to stand up. Stands behind me and tells me to shut my eyes and imagine I'm on a boat. Five seconds and I fall back and he catches me and says I'd be an ideal person for his treatment so I agree.
I can, to this day, remember every single word of what happened next. And that was 38 years ago.
Thirty minutes later we both leave his house. And I didn't smoke, or want to smoke for 11 months. It was only the day my son was born by emergency caesarean that I started again.
A couple of years later I heard he'd died. He had the biggest Buddhist funeral ever held in Harlow with thousand people coming from all over the world. Lovely man who proved to me that hypnotism works
