As you well know as a smoker, it’s the nicotine that your body craves no matter why you started in the first place. It is the nicotine and rush of dopamine that holds you captive. This makes the motive to smoke seem much less important than the physical addiction, however recognizing and letting go of why you started and continue is a critical part of your success in stopping. I use Emotional Stress Release therapy and E. F. T. (Emotional Freedom Technique) to create the space for you to discover the hidden reasons behind your smoking. These modalities identify and clear patterns and beliefs and are used together. They are based on the body’s subtle energies and meridian points.

 

The Emotional Stress Release therapy addresses your underlying need to tranquilize anxiety through smoking. These issues could be most anything; anger, fear, guilt, trauma etc. The theory behind this is that negative emotions set up blockages within the body’s energy field and until these issues are dissipated, the addictive behavior will remain or transfer into another expression. This is why a lot people that successfully give up smoking simply switch to another form of addiction, for example, food replacing cigarettes. During this short therapy session you will be given the tools to bring yourself into greater alignment and the process begins simply with discussion.

 

E.F.T. is a form of emotional acupuncture, but no needles are needed. By tapping on body meridian points with your fingers you will be able to bring down immediate cravings within minutes, so you can walk away from lighting up. The tapping reminds the body to keep the energy fields clear of emotional blockages. Issues that the Emotional Stress Release therapy cleared, are reinforced with E.F.T within seconds.
