Smoking and How to Stop For Good – Hypnosis script (Part 2) (Quit Now Session)

The Therapeutic Utilization

 
In the transcript below there are a series of fullstops that illustrate spacing of the words:-

• . is a very short pause
• .. is a short pause
• … this is a longer pause .. and is often used in patterned speech

As you read this hypnotic script in your head or aloud try and add the spacing for maximum effect to re-create the rhythm of the words.

This hypnosis is an audio of a very effective hypnotic script to stop smoking, demonstrating the therapeutic utilization phase (or suggestions).

This section is Part 2 of the stop smoking process

It is advised, if you have not already done so, to read Part 1 of the Hypnotic script first.

And as you find yourself once again in your special .. control room .. I’d like you to bring up a new image in your minds eye … bring up a new scene in your imagination

And you can find yourself standing .. at the fork of two roads .. one pathway leading to your left .. and one pathway leading to your right ..

And as you think now about all of the problems .. and all of the concerns that smoking brings into your current life .. you can think about how …

• smoking has robbed you . of so much energy.
• smoking has robbed you . of so much money.
• It has robbed you of . so much health.
• It has taken . so much of your own sense of control over your own life.

“What I want you to do, is take some time to think about three occasions when you’ve really wanted to quit smoking.

It could be the image of a loved ones sad face, the bad taste, the aching lungs, an overcrowded ashtray .. any three separate times when you’ve really, really wanted to stop … write them down .. now.”

Furthermore, as you look down to that road on the left .. that represents all of the negatives about continuing smoking you know that that can be ..

An easier road to take .. you could just coast down that road. This is because it’s a path you’ve been following for quite some time ..

But you also know that it is a path of misery .. and that road goes down .. into a darker unhealthier place ..

Although, you can see the road to your .. right is a brighter healthier more productive road a road where you can feel in control.

Nevertheless, as you look down to that road on the left .. that represents all of the negatives about continuing smoking you know that that can be ..

An easier road to take .. you could just coast down that road. Simply because it’s a path you’ve been following for quite some time ..

By continuing to smoke .. But you also know that it is a path of misery .. and that road goes down .. into a darker .. unhealthier place …

I’m back. Take the three specific times that you have written down and visualise each one clearly.

Next make a sort of film in your head overlapping the images. Really feel, see and hear the images. Play the film over and over .. therefore, at the same time pinch the back of your hand .. hard.

But you can see the road to your .. right .. is a brighter .. healthier .. more productive road . a road where you can feel in control . it’s the road of freedom .

The road of health . the road of .. air and oxygen . pure . in your lungs . the road of life ..

That is the road . of where you are . in control of yourself ..

That’s the road that you have decided to take as a non smoker …

Therefore, the road to your right is the road you have decided to take as a non-smoker …

But take your mind back now .. to that road on the left .. The reason is because that road means carrying .. all of the problems associated . with continuing to smoke ..

And really allow yourself to feel .. the burden of that . self destructive behaviour … feel your desire to be free from all of the ill effects of hurting yourself .. by smoking . and poisoning your body.

And in a moment I’m going to count from 3 to 1 and you’ll find yourself drifting and floating or walking down that low road being out of control for one more year

3 ..2 ..1 ..

… and here you are now .. after one more year . of been out of control.. of feeling miserable in every way . This is because you continued to smoke cigarettes ..

And you feel the weight of disappointment in yourself ; and ..

You notice that the things .. that litter this painful road . are filthy ashtrays . and burns in clothing and fabric .. and furniture .

And the horrible smell of cigarettes .. and you see at your feet .. a road littered with cigarette butts . and cartons . packs of cigarettes . and you see them ..

And you see others that you know . who . do smoke .. and maybe it’s the ones you’ve smoked with in the past .. or others that you’ve seen huddled together outside of buildings ..

Or stuck in the smoking sections of restaurants .. and the sight of them now makes you feel sorry for them .. Because of this, they’re stuck here on this low road of continuing to be a smoker (22:57)

And in front of you now .. you find yourself standing before .. a giant mirror .. a giant . silver mirror ; which reflects back to you .. yourself as you exist . as . a smoker in the past .. and you can ask .

• am I pleased with myself ? ..
• am I happy to have . chosen another year of smoking cigarettes ? ..
• do I feel better about this decision … as I stand on this low road ? ..
• do I feel healthier .. or do I feel worse ? ..
• what about looking better? .. or do I look worse ? ..
• do I feel smarter .. or do I feel worse? …

Moreover, I’m going to count down from 3 to 1 and you’ll find yourself five years along this road five years into the future along this road

3 ..2 ..1 ..

Here you are five years .. along this low road .. and you can bring forth all of the effects now .. of having chosen to smoke . for another five years …

Imagining yourself in a future situation is known as future pacing and is often used to reinforce .. and ensure that the old behaviour is not triggered in the future.

• how unhealthy do you feel ..
• are you worried about the effects? .. of putting . nicotine poison . into your body every day do you feel
• how hopeless do you feel
• now look to your feet . and how much higher . is that stack . of cigarette butts .
• how much higher is that stack of cigarette cartons ..
• maybe you even hate the sight of them now ..
• maybe you even hate the smell .. of those ashtrays .. and cigarettes  ..

I’m back .. as often as you can, play the three scenarios of occasions where smoking has genuinely disgusted you.

Make the images bigger, brighter, bolder ; intensify any smells or sounds or pain associated with the memory. At the same time pinch the back of the same hand in the same place .. hard.

And look to all of those . same people . that small crowd of people who have .. joined you here  5 years into the future . who have also chosen .  to continue smoking .

• how do they look ..
• do they look healthier . or worse ..
• do they look pleased with themselves . or worse ..
• how badly have they been affected . by having made that decision .. to continue smoking for another 5 years

The audio continues with a further deepening of the trance state; the imagery and the visualization to a period of 10 years into the future.

Again, there is a countdown from 1 to 3 and you are asked the same questions about how you look, feel and the stack of cigarette butts and ashtrays.

Furthermore, using almost exactly the same language, you are asked to visualize and imagine the small group of smokers and the toll that smoking has taken on their health and their looks.

Finally now, whenever you think about smoking a cigarette .. or light one up if you are in the ‘pre-stopping’ stage of smoking; all you need to do is pinch the back of your hand .. hard.

The film of the images that you have played and re-played in your head should be triggered; and help you choose the Right Path.
