When working with stopping smoking, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
Smoking is addictive. Nicotine is addictive. Sure there are lots of really important health reasons to quit, however, the pull to the cigarette is strong. I am certified in Training Enhancement in Applied Counselling and Health (TEACH) from CAMH for tobacco cessation. Quit cold turkey or cut back slowly, both of these are options. Let's talk about it what would be the best fit for you.
By finding root cause of your smoking habit, we can change from the deep subconscious roots and clear your negative self talks and beliefs, and help you become conscious of the impact of smoking and graceful let go of this habit with hypnotherapy, meditations, and audio meditations.
With my background in Addictions and Mental Health, I have worked in many inpatient and outpatient settings to support people with addictions specifically, substances, alcohol, hoarding, gambling and the internet. With my expertise, I am able to collaborate with my clients and find the best support and create a wellness plan that best suits their journey for recovery. I will coordinate with other providers to help you maintain sobriety and get to the bottom of your reasons to engage in such addictive behaviors.
