Advanced Hypnotherapy Group

Is there a code of ethics hypnotherapists must adhere to?                                                        

Over 35 national & international organizations qualify, educate & certify hypnotists and hypnotherapists.       Each organization has standards, ethics and most adhere to the educational requirements. The International Hypnosis Federation (IHF) is a proud member of the Council of Professional Hypnosis Organizations (COPHO www.copho.com), founded September 23, 1989 with over 20 member organizations representing in excess of 20,000 hypnotists throughout the United States and Canada. HYPNOTHERAPISTS AND HYPNOTISTS HAVE A STRONG CODE OF ETHICS   

Does it really work?

Yes it does Samir Shamoun, the co-founder of Advanced Hypnotherapy Group was a heavy smoker and went through the Stop Smoking program in 2005 and in one session become Smoke Free that impressed him so much that he got certified as a Smoking Cessation Specialist  and co-founded Advanced Hypnotherapy Group in Chatsworth California.  Thousands of smokers stopped smoking due to this program also.

What if I pick up the smoking habit again, then what?

Now, one of the things that makes us unique is that the program is guaranteed for life.  This means that if after the session if you ever need any additional help, whether it’s two months or two years down the road, all you have to do is give us a call and we get you back in at no extra charge. 

SO, WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUE TO SMOKE?

With more than 20 years combined experience in dealing with the mind, both in the USA and in the UK, we have found the answer to be the same all over the world. It all comes down to one thing...FEAR.

• Fear that you'll have to give up your crutch or pleasure.
• Fear that you won't be able to enjoy life or handle stress.
• Fear that you will put on weight.
• Fear that you'll have to go through an awful trauma to get free.
• Fear that you'll never get completely free of the cravings.

All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you:

Fear that it is going to be too painful and too difficult to STOP SMOKING

Why Not A Money Back Guarantee?

Years ago when we first tested this technique, we gave a money back guarantee, but our success rate dropped to around 70% to 80%.  This is because the unconscious mind sometimes has secondary reasons (we call it secondary gain) for bringing back the smoking habit.  Such a guarantee creates an unconscious conflict between the part of your mind that wants to give up smoking and the part of your mind that wants to have the $450.00, so a client can start smoking again in an attempt to relieve the conflict.  We’ve found about 20% (1 in 5 people) would come back. We don’t do that any more, instead we offer lifetime backup and we find that more than 95% of people stop smoking completely.  Nothing is more important to us than your success, because nearly all of our clients come from word of mouth, and we want to help as many people as possible to stop smoking.  So why don’t you make an appointment and become a non-smoker?

What if it doesn’t work?

We couldn’t offer a lifetime guarantee if it didn’t work.  If we didn’t have more than 95% of people Quit Smoking in one session we would put ourselves out of business by offering a lifetime guarantee.  Because we are absolutely certain that the program is so good that over 95% will Stop Smoking. If in the first 15 minutes we don’t think it will work for you, we’ll send you away with a full refund.  Because nothing is more important to us than your success.

The people we turn away:  We only turn away people who don’t really want to stop smoking for themselves.  For example, people who have been pushed into it by their husbands or wives and who don’t really want to be there.  This is because we can’t make people do things that they don’t really want to do, we can only make it easy to do something you want to do for yourself, or for your reasons.  And in your case you do want to be a non-smoker don’t you?  And you do want to do it for your own reasons don’t you?  If you are ready to quit for your reasons, then call us and book an appointment, it is easy to quit with Hypnosis 

SOME SAY, I’ve tried Hypnosis Before and It didn’t work for me:

When people say they’ve tried hypnosis before or it doesn’t work, we always say, “The question isn’t ‘does hypnosis work?’ because it always works when it’s done correctly, the question is ‘how good is the hypnotherapist?’”  Other hypnotherapists use a very basic form of hypnosis, which only usually gets a 30-40% success rate.  The way that we get over a 95% success rate is that we use a unique combination of advanced hypnosis techniques.  And our success rate is the reason why we are the only hypnotherapy practice that is prepared to back our work up with a lifetime guarantee.

WHAT IF I CAN’T BE HYPNOTIZED?

Generally speaking, every normal person is hypnotizable.  That is people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders.  Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results with hypnosis.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I AM HYPNOTIZED?

Most people can’t tell the difference between the hypnotized state and the waking state.  Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel lightness.  One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.

IS HYPNOSIS SAFE?

Hypnosis is completely safe.  You are aware and in control at every moment and can even terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in a state of hypnosis. You can’t be made to do something against your will!  Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

WHY PEOPLE DON'T STOP SMOKING?

Most smokers know that by quitting smoking they will save up to several thousand dollars a year. Most smokers know that they could add years to their life and most smokers know that by STOPPING SMOKING right now, they could save their health before it's too late.

HOW DOES HYPNOSIS WORK?

Our minds work on two levels—the conscious and the unconscious.  We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind.  The unconscious mind controls our habits.  In the relaxed state known as hypnosis we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind.  This is why it is so quick and easy to change lifelong habits with hypnosis.

It’s too expensive NOT to stop smoking.  You can’t afford NOT to stop smoking.

Why don’t you take some of the money that you would have spend on cigarettes and spend it on becoming a non-smoker.  You’ll be saving 1 to 3 hundred dollars a month, which works out to be more than 2 to 3 thousand dollars a year.  When you think about it you can’t afford NOT to stop smoking.

How can hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit?

Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense!  We can help you effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker – it only takes one session to STOP SMOKING.

Will hypnosis work for me?

How will I know if I am hypnotized?

FAQ’s About Other Methods:

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) (Patches, Gum, Inhalers):

Nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patches, etc.) has been proven through independent scientific studies to produce a success rate of 10%–20%.  Not only it is quite rare for someone to stop smoking using this method, but there are many negative side effects.  Such as: nausea and indigestion, itching and redness of the skin, and nightmares—and occasionally the side effects can be more serious.  So there is very little chance of it working, and a very big chance of physical harm.  Our method is completely safe, and it WORKS…which is why we offer a lifetime guarantee.

Zyban:

NHS reports have shown that zyban is completely ineffective unless combined with other psychological intervention—for example, hypnosis.  There has already been one widely reported death from this drug this year, and GlaxoSmithKline (formally GlaxoWellcome) who produce it, have stated that 1 in 1000 will suffer convulsions that could lead to death.  It doesn’t work, and it is a very dangerous drug.  Our method is completely safe, and it WORKS… which is why we offer a lifetime guarantee.

In one Session you can Quit Smoking in Chatsworth Ca.

Group Hypnosis:

Group hypnosis has been tested at a 30% success rate.  The reason why they can only get such a low success rate is because they are using a very basic form of suggestion only hypnosis, and they cannot tailor the program in a group situation for your own individual needs.  People start and stop smoking for different reasons.  Only in a private one on one session can a hypnotherapist find out the reasons and triggers in order to custom design the session.
