Smoking Cessation

Quitting smoking will be one of the hardest, and most rewarding, things you will ever do. Trying to quit and not succeeding makes us feel like a failure, and the fear that we can’t quit is often what holds us back. Instead of methods that promote fear of the consequences of smoking, Focused Psychology uses hypnosis to tap into a person’s own desire and motivation to quit while helping to remove any blocks to achieving this goal.

Carrie Easton’s degree in Psychology and advanced hypnosis training assists in understanding both the habit aspects and the psychological reasons that you smoke. This deep understanding, combined with hypnosis to propel you forward, is the key to change.

The truth is that while people go to smoking for relief, they are actually feeling frustration every time they smoke because it is something they don’t really want to do. The goal is always to enter this office expecting that you will no longer smoke after this session, and walk out feeling happy about your decision and confident that you will succeed in no longer smoking. Carrie Easton uses her vast psychological knowledge to address resistances to quitting, such as fears of failure, not having an outlet for stress, or gaining weight, and helps determine if there are other contributing factors such as anxiety, depression, or difficulties in your relationship. In the end, it is about feeling better and ending the frustration – not just quitting smoking.
