Among the top New Year’s resolutions are resolutions about weight loss, exercise and wanting to stop smoking.
The following shows how many of these resolutions are maintained as time goes on: - past the first week: 75% - past 2 weeks: 71% - after one month: 64% - after 6 months: 46%However, a new type of therapy is being used to help the staying power of these resolutions, helping to transform these hopes into reality. “I have used hypnotherapy successfully over the last seven years to help my clients to overcome both weight loss and to stop smoking.” states Richard Barker, a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and the National Board of Hypnotists. He has a 100% success rate which seems to blow the traditional method, of going it alone with sheer willpower, out of the water. Barker continues, “With hypnotic treatment, the brain can be “reprogrammed” to avert certain habitual behaviors which are responsible for us grabbing that extra doughnut or having that second or third cigarette.”
Many may scoff at the use of a seemingly controversial method to such monumental addictions as over eating and the need for a nicotine fix, but the proof is in the statistics. “Many people who have tried to quit smoking or over-eating on their own and have failed multiple times begin to feel defeated and hopeless. I offer them an alternative way for them to fulfill their resolutions, for good.”
