Ms JW 24yr old female
I had been smoking for more than 5 years and can’t really remember how or why I started in the first place. Before I realised it I couldn’t stop it. Working with people who smoked regularly didn’t help this at all. I was sceptical about hypnotherapy to start with, but was reassured after attending a presentation by Dr Madurai, and discussing my concerns thereafter. I knew I had to stop smoking, for myself and my family. I just couldn’t do it as hard as I tried. I used the patches but it didn’t work for me. After my discussion with Dr Madurai, I was even more convinced that I had to stop. The fact that I was working with Dr Madurai at the time gave me more confidence as I was aware of his personality and understanding, and his caring nature. I felt comfortable and reassured with the process of hypnotherapy, and it didn’t feel mystical anymore.
I had one session of therapy in my own home, where I felt at ease, and my partner was around to offer me support.
I can still recall his voice and the words after all these years. I am pleased to say that I have not smoked since then. I have to admit that I did feel like smoking for a short period after the treatment, but this unconscious desire to resist was strong enough to prevent me going back to that nasty habit.
I am now doing my nurse training degree, and am glad that I am a non smoker. I am proud of my achievement, and the positive effect this has had and will continue to have on my life. I am grateful that not only was I introduced to hypnotherapy, but more importantly I was able to find a therapist as sensitive and professional as Dr Madurai. I would recommend anyone considering hypnotherapy to make contact with Dr Madurai now, and you can be guaranteed a listening ear and sensible advice.
TREATMENT consisted of one assessment session followed by one individually tailored therapy session.
