Session # 1
(Appointment # 1, session # 1)
“Paving the way for success”
A) Establish Rapport & Mutual Trust
Before you even made the decision to use our services, you’ve had a chance to talk on the phone with Mike Proulx (Certified Hypnotist) and you’ve concluded that you felt comfortable and confident in working with him. The first session is a time for you and Mike to get further acquainted, a time to deepen the rapport and instill a feeling of mutual trust. Hypnosis is very much a team effort and feeling comfortable with your Hypnotherapist is important to the overall process and to your expected success as a healthy non-smoker.
B) Needs Analysis Conversation
On our website there is a questionnaire/intake form that you can print and complete and bring with you to your first session. An in depth conversation takes place to clarify and elaborate on the information that you’ve provided. The notes that Mike will take from this in depth analysis, will assist in the preparation of a Stop Smoking Hypnosis Script – custom tailored to your unique smoking profile. This customized hypnosis session will take place at session # 3 – the day you become SMOKE FREE.
Session # 2
(Appointment # 1, session # 2)
Live Hypnosis Session: Reducing stress and anxiety about “quitting” & boosting your inner resolve and confidence!
The mere thought of "stopping smoking" can be fraught with worry, anxiety and high levels of stress. Session one is all about dramatically reducing this stress level including any stress you may have about hypnosis. Session one is all about paving the way for a calmer, relaxed and easy going transition from being a smoker to that of being a non-smoker. At session one, you will experience a stress reduction hypnosis that will melt away the majority of your fears and worries and position you for success at session #3 - your stop smoking session.
Stress Reduction Hypnosis CD
In addition to the live hypnosis session, you will be given a "Stress Reduction Hypnosis CD" for you to listen to daily for approx. 7 days prior to your "Stop Smoking" session. Research has proven that every time you go into hypnosis, you go into it much deeper and much faster than before. By the time you show up for session # 3, for your Stop Smoking Session, you will have experienced one live session and approx. 7 CD sessions and your mind will be ripe and ready for success!
Session # 3
(Appointment # 2, session # 3)
"I Am Now A Healthy Non-Smoker"

You are determined to succeed and you are confident that you will. Your inner wisdom and emotional fortitude coupled with this powerful hypnosis session will have you totally immersed in your new found identity – that of a healthy non-smoker! A custom tailored hypnosis script is used to impact all the critical target areas that are unique to you. At the end of your session, you receive a Stop Smoking Reinforcement Hypnosis CD that you listen to for the next 3-6 days (daily) until your next session. Congratulations! You are now a Non-Smoker!
Session # 4
(Appointment # 3, session # 4)
"Non-Smoker – Reinforcement"
The overwhelming majority of individuals stop smoking at session # 3 at which point session # 4 focuses on reinforcement hypnosis to make the changes more permanent. A very small minority of individuals may still experience some challenges after session # 3 and therefore session # 4 is then used specifically to identify the problem areas and to resolve them while under hypnosis.
Congratulations
You are now a
Non-Smoker!
