 The Real Help to Stop Smoking Program
In the manual "Becoming a
Non-Smoker - More Than a Smoking Cessation Program" we go to lengths to
prove to you how ineffective most stop smoking programs actually are.
The reason for their
ineffectiveness is that they fail to recognise the power of addictive
or compulsive urges, and they fail to provide treatments or techniques
which can actually wipe these out.
Techniques to actually destroy
addictive or compulsive urges have only recently been devised and are
known by very few addiction specialists. Effectively, they involve
deliberately triggering the urge, and then confusing it by overlaying
multi-sensory stimulation.
For almost everyone this
immediately reduces the urge, and over a short period of time
eliminates the urge altogether. We ask you not to use
willpower to fight your addiction, because we know that deprivation
simply creates stronger cravings.
All you need to do is to follow
the simple steps that we teach, and your addiction can take care of
itself.
If your doctor has prescribed
medication to assist you to stop smoking, it is essential that you
follow his/her
instructions in that matter. Never increase, decrease, or
substitute your medication without careful consultation with your
doctor. Even if you decide that the medication is useless,
there can nevertheless be severe effects upon change or withdrawal and
your doctor must be responsible for recommending and monitoring any
change whatsoever.
Who Runs the Program?
To read about the background
and experience of the program leader, please see
www.realhelp2stopsmoking.com/about.html.
Christine Sutherland is recognised internationally as a leader in the
treatment of addiction, and she has designed a program which
is
based on the best evidence available from neurophysiology.
How Has the Program
Been Tested?
Non-controlled trials of the
techniques used in this program have
been run in 3 countries, with over 31,000 patients, with outstanding
results. In Australia there have been 3 small studies,
again with outstanding results. These results mirror our
clinical experience with all kinds of clients over the past
decade.
What Does the
Program Involve?
This depends on how you choose
to do the
program. Some people prefer to simply buy the manual and work
through their program in our private, client-only forums, while others
choose to work one-on-one in private with
Christine.
Where you choose to engage with
us
one-on-one, whether that is via the forums or via private consultation,
we work with you to determine what are the physical and psychological
triggers that have kept your smoking habit alive, and one by one to
eliminate them so that they no longer have any control over you
whatsoever.
The main focus of the program
is teaching and helping you use simple methods to prevent your nervous
system from giving you signals to smoke and to move you into higher
mood
states and stronger, more resilient, adaptive responses to your
environment.
This is completely different
to expecting you to use "willpower" to simply "try to take your mind
off it". We already know that you are doing the best
that you can, and that may not even be keeping things under control,
let alone working!
Instead we look at the
unconscious responses that your nervous system is "doing to you" to
produce those familiar feelings of addiction, including upsetting your
chemical balance. As hard as it may be to believe, we now
have easy ways of impacting on those that don't usually involve
medication. This program is about showing you those methods.
Will I Have to Keep
Using the Methods for the Rest of My Life?
No. The aim of these
methods is to make permanent adjustments to the way your nervous system
works. It's possible
that you could turn to smoking again in the future, but far less
likely than with any other program.
How Fast Can I
Expect Results?
Whilst our clinical experience
and research shows rapid change, often immediately and usually within a
few days, for some people changes are slower, and it is thought that
these cases are simply more complex, with a greater number of
"triggers" to identify and eliminate.
As you will see from all of
the
clinical trials, results have been extremely rapid and permanent across
the board.
How Much Does it
Cost, and How Do I Register?
Cost depends on your treatment
choice.
If you elect to purchase the
manual and
work through your program with us on our private, client-only forums, the cost of purchase is just $US67. You can purchase
the manual HERE.
Or, you may decide that
you'd prefer to work in private, one-on-one with Christine.
The cost in that case is $US160per
hour, paid in advance via credit card (mastercard or visa) or
PayPal. Your session fee includes a copy of your manual, as well
as access to the client-only forums for 12 months. To access
private consultation, please email us
