In my first post I think you may of missed the real point I was making. That is the person who took a vast amount of money of me and many more is totally deluded in his own capabilities and knowledge as a teacher. We could argue and discuss who or what technique is the best. There can only ever be one best technique or approach and I suppose we are all striving for that with the best of intentions. My intentions are not to disregard other successful approaches but expose total nonsense. So I hope no one has taken any offence.Thanks. Great comments from the authors above.

See our other blog post on smoking cessation hypnotherapy: http://wp.me/pGGIP-Bu I've never heard of gradually "getting people off nicotine" as being a strategy in smoking cessation. Nicotine withdrawal is a factor, more in some cases than others, but the main factors are normally confidence, motivation and the ability to cope with high-risk situations and possible urges or other setbacks, i.e., relapse prevention. However, the best approach will vary somewhat, depending on the needs of the individual. 98% is an absurd "success rate" claim and the method for measuring it described would be completely inaccurate and therefore grossly misleading, and possibly in breach of the Code of Advertising Practice and the professional codes of certain therapy registers. A number of training organisations appear to have encouraged students to use similar claims in advertising in the past, but it's something we would definitely urge people to avoid.

I got involved with hypnotherapy via using it my self to quit smoking. Here's how I was first taught, do three sessions with the client to gradually get them off nicotine. This clashed with my own experiences of just one session which had nothing to do with nicotine reduction. I never used the three session technique but watch all other students fail dramatically. Our so called teacher claimed a 98% success rate with smoking. I asked how he worked the percentage out, his reply after the third session if they don't contact you assume complete success. You could never get an accurate success rate because all Hypnotherapists are using different techniques and in my opinion most of the techniques are slung together made up nonsense. As for myself it took me two years to find the correct none contradictory technique. I spent time with the Hypnotherapist that I used to quit smoking and I now know this is the only correct technique.
