What Happens in a Quit-Smoking Hypnosis Session

Before your session

1. Free phone call. We talk about how long you've smoked or vaped, past quit attempts and what typically sets off a craving.
2. Pick a quit date. Most people book their session for the day they intend to stop.
3. Notice your triggers. For a few days beforehand, jot down when you light up. It makes the session far more personal.

During your session

1. Conversation first. We go over your notes and your reasons for quitting, in your own words.
2. Guided relaxation. You settle into a calm, focused state. Most people describe it as being deeply relaxed but aware, like the moment before falling asleep.
3. Targeted suggestions. Built around your triggers and reasons, so the morning coffee or the drive home stops meaning "time to smoke."
4. Back to full alertness. You leave clear-headed and able to drive.

After your session

The first two weeks are when cravings peak. You'll leave with simple techniques for riding out a craving and a recording to use at home. If you're also using patches or gum from the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline, keep using them as directed.

What hypnosis is not

• You don't lose control or do anything against your will.
• You remember the session.
• It isn't magic. It works best when you genuinely want to quit.
