When ever I help a client stop the use of Nicotine, I am so elated and happy to have helped save another life from the dangers of using Nicotine.

I use to smoke when I was much younger, (almost two packs per day), back when cigarettes cost fifty cents and then a dollar a pack, and the tobacco companies had so totally lied to the public  about their Nicotine product and the safety of its use, that they even advertised on kids shows like the Flintstones.

Nicotine, like any other behavior or substance is a coping mechanism. As human beings we are taught from the time of our birth, (and some people say that it is before we come out of the womb), we are geared toward self protection, and survival. Like myself many of my clients tell me that they wanted to be accepted by their  school mates and so I, and they started smoking to be cool. Within 21 days, any substance that we put into our body becomes a physical addiction, and thus a coping tool that we adopted to help us feel more relaxed around our friends, is now causing or can cause such medical issues as SOB, Cancer, Emphysema, Heart Issues, and a whole list of other medical issues which will eventually lead us to death,   not to mention the smell, and the damage to our taste buds.

With all of the methods to quit that are now on the market, Hypnosis has shown the highest success rate compared to such methods, as Nicotine gum, or Nicotine patches.

We are not our thoughts, we are not our emotions. That is one of the things that clients at Foundation Medical Hypnosis and Life Coaching are taught as they easily, and calmly, regain control of their lives.  When you use Hypnosis to quit smoking you will be amazed at how easy and quickly you can complete quit, without any withdrawals, or cravings.

If you are ready to quit spending more and more money on a product that ultimately harms you, (cancer, heart attacks, and strokes),  causes you and your clothing to stink, takes away your ability to taste your foods, and now makes you more and more of an outcast then DON’T DELAY, call Foundations Medical Hypnosis and Life Coaching today, at 9206) 417-4900, or e-mail the studio at dlscott2@comast.net.

In just four short sessions you will be living your life free of your Nicotine addiction.

In all of the years that I have worked in the Social Working Field, as a Hypnotherapist, Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Smoking Cessation Cournselor, I have  helped people rid themselves of this addiction, on many different levels.

The first level is the physical level. There are many different ways of attempting this, some programs have the client use nicotine patches or cutting back on the amount of cigarettes smoked each day. At Foundations Hypnosis and Life Coaching, the client is taught a step down process that allows them to continue the same amount of cigarettes smoked per day, but lowers the nicotine intake by 100(s) of nicotine units per day.

While they are accomplishing this goal, they are also guided into utilizing techniques to lower / reduce stress, that usually causes them to grab for a ciagarettE to help them calm down. As I mentioned  in the beginnning of this blog, one of my latetest clients works a very stressful job and was able to learn and utilize techinques that allowed her to quit using nicotine as a stress reliever.

The most powerful technique, and the one that is identified as the most effective and successful technique to aid in smoking cessation, is the Hypnotic Induction itself. During the induction, clients are giving images and messages that create the behavior of being a non-smoker, a healthy happy non-smoker. As the saying goes, if you think you can do something, you will. If you think you can’t do something, you won’t.

Foundations Hypnosis gives you the ability and the drive to see yourself and think of yourself as a non-amoker, and when you see and think of yourself as a helathy happy non-smoker, that is what you become.

If you have been wanting to Quit Smoking, If you have been wanting to rid yourself of this unhealthy, and disgusting addiction, then call Foundations Hypnosis and Life Coaching today, (206) 417-4900. You will be living a smoke free life, and gain skills and tools that will allow you to reduce and eliminate stress and anxiety from your life.

I thought about this for a moment and realized that after being in practice for over twenty five years the success rate was in  the 90% range. That means that out of 100’s of clients very few have not been successful in thier initial efforts to quit. This is usually due to clients who are trying to quit for someone else, or not fully committed to fact that they want to quit smoking. As I explain to clients, Hypnosis will not make you quit, but it is the most powerful and effective tool to help you reach your quitting goal. Just read what two clients, one from 1997 and one from 2017 have said about their process.

“I did it, I had tried other methods and nothing seemed to work, then I enlisted the aid of Hypnosis through DLScott Personal Energy Mastery, and it worked”.

Mykal, May 1997

If you want to quit smoking or any other problem give DLScott a call. Like many other people I was skeptical of what Hypnosis could accomplish, especially as a smoker of 20 years. His techniques and unique abilities work. He is understanding and perceptive, always makes one feel comfortable, but willing to cut to the heart of the matter and solve the problem(s). I give my highest recommendation and . Encourage anyone  with addictive or emotional problems to give him a chance, it will work.

When a client calls my office, Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Everett, I am often hit with a barrage of questions such as, does Hypnosis work?  Can I be hypnotized? Can hypnosis make me stop smoking? Can I lose weight using hypnosis?  I feel stuck; I have low self worth can hypnosis make my life better? I have a problem sleeping, can you hypnotize me and make me sleep better. I am experiencing coming out issues, can hypnosis help? I am addicted to alcohol, can hypnosis make me stop drinking, or can hypnosis make me stop using drugs?

I am elated that the person has called Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Lynwood Everett, and is seeking a way to stop their use of behaviors and / or substances that are causing them such problems in their lives. I am also cautious to explain in simply language that Hypnosis cannot make them do anything.

I have worked in the counseling field for over twenty years, I have discovered a few truths along the way, but none as helpful and exciting as the idea that NO!!!  HYPNOSIS CAN NOT MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING!  If it were that simple, then I would have long ago cured the ills of society and would have retired somewhere down in the tropics with a sizeable bank account and a bigger smile on my face than I already have.

Hypnosis is one of the most effective and powerful tools in my arsenal to help people create change in their lives. With the aid of hypnosis you can eliminate the effects of fears, phobias, addictive behaviors, PTSD(s), chronic pain, sleep disorders, depression, anger, and anxiety. You can actually eliminate nicotine, and other drugs, from your life forever, but if you want to know whether Hypnosis can MAKE these changes occur, the answer is NO.

First off you have to really want to make the changes that you are seeking. Once you have decided, I mean really decided to make these changes, you have won half the battle. The other half is in making a plan, choosing a way of getting to your goal. Hypnosis is one of the best ways of allowing yourself an effective, powerful, and long term solution to achieving your goal.

When I first started out in the field of hypnosis, I did so to help people deal with stress, and anxiety. I wanted to give people a way of dealing with pain and physical illnesses. Once I was trained in the ability to hypnotize people, I soon discovered that I needed a lot more than just one technique, one type of therapy, to help people deal with the types of problems I mentioned above.

Over the years I put myself through school, received a degree in social and human services, became a Chemical Dependency Counselor, and learned even stronger and more specific techniques, such as Dialectic Behavior, (which utilizes Mindfulness), Nero Linguistic Programming, and Emotional Release Therapy, which incorporates some of the most advance research available to help people actually change their brain wave patterns and eliminate the physical effects of stress, and trauma. Even with these tools and techniques I can never lie to a client and tell them that Hypnosis will make them do anything.

The proper use of Hypnosis can help them, and will almost guarantee that they are going to achieve their goals, but it is the client themselves who must utilize the tools, it is the client themselves who must do the work to get to where they want to go. Hiring a trained hypnotherapist and qualified counselor is like hiring a trained guide to get you through the wilderness or jungle. You may be able to eventually make it through the wilderness or jungle on your own, but fast, effective, powerful results can be increased by hiring the right aid.

When you come to Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Everett, you will discover that you will be taught these powerful tools and powerful aids, such as Self Hypnosis, Mindfulness, NLP, and Emotional Release Therapy, and you will be taught these tools in just a few short sessions so that you can move on with your life, without having to return to your therapist on a weekly basis for the rest of your life. In fact, with Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, you will discover that you can actually acquire the same powerful results by coming to your few sessions every other week, instead of ever week, (this bi –weekly schedule is much easier on the pocket book).

So if you are ready to finally make the changes in your life that you have dreamed about, then CALL Foundations Hypnosis, (206) 417-4900 NOW!!!!!  Foundations  is located in the north end of Seattle right off the freeway, just minutes from down town Seattle, Everett, or The East Side.  There are night time, and limited weekend appointments available and results are seen after just one session.  There are also special discounts for Smoking Cessation clients.

The post Hypnotherapy and Counseling What Makes it Work? appeared first on Hypnotherapy North Seattle | Everett Counseling | Hypnotherapist Shoreline | Stop Smoking Hypnosis.

It is hard to believe that 2010 is almost over, and we are getting ready to experience the beginning of a new decade. Are you ready to experience the best decade of your life, or are you still hanging on to old beliefs, old behaviors, and all the things that Your Ego dictates is what you are. Have you tried to stop smoking, eliminate addictions, lose weight,  and increase self worth and self esteem? Have you read all of the books and seen all of the videos on the Law of Attraction, and yet nothing seems to change?  Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett, has the solution.

One of the firsts thing that I teach my clients is the fact that while we are not our thoughts, we are not our feelings, and we are not our body, we certainly experience our thoughts feelings, and body. And we usually experience it in such a way that could swear that these things are exactly what we are.

Think about that, if someone asks you, “Who are you?” what would you answer?  Most of us would answer, “I am (fill in your name)”, or I am an American citizen, or I am a father, a mother, an (fill in your occupation)”, and a whole list of who we are according to the roles that we play.  Therein lays the problem. We believe we are these things, these roles that we play, such as “I am an addict, I am a cancer victim, I am the survivor of abuse”, and once again the list goes on and on.  It is the EGO that plays these roles, and they actually break down into three roles, 1) Victim, 2) Perpetrator 3) Hero. When your EGO is playing any one of these roles, it has the one thing that it really wants. It has the starring role in the drama you call your life.

What if you were able to do things differently in 2011? What if you were able to stop being a victim, a slave to your thoughts, and feelings, what if you could consciously let go of playing a role in your life, and actually begin living and experiencing your life the way you truly want and desire. What if you found out how easy it is too actually take control, become the master of those thoughts and feelings? It can be done, and one of the easiest ways of doing this is through the use of Hypnosis, Mindfulness and NLP.

Using the techniques of mindfulness and hypnosis, (plus the technique known as Emotional Release Therapy, which has helped hundreds of people eliminate addictive behavior from their lives), I teach my clients how to unattach from these roles created by our thoughts, and allow themselves to become the conscious observer of these thoughts and feelings, and roles.

The first thing to do is to learn to observe the thoughts, don’t attach to them simply let them float through your mind. Long ago in a conference class through Washington Hypnosis Association, I learned a technique that is an easy and effective way of doing this, and can be done without having to go into a deep meditative trance.

The next time you have a thought come up, such as when someone annoys you or does something that is rude, such as tries to cut in line in front of you, simply stop and ask yourself the question, “where did this thought come from”, answer yourself, “from me”, then ask, “who created this thought”, answer, “I created this thought” then ask yourself the question, “who am I”.  No matter what the answer, such as “I am (name)”, or “I am a male, female. Etc.” do not try to analyze the answer, simply go right back to the first question, “now where did that thought come from”. 

As you continue to run these questions through your mind, you will begin to notice that every thought is just that, it is a thought, and nothing more.  I personally practice this technique a lot, and have found that I react to my thoughts less and less, and this gives me more options in which I can choose how I want to react in any given situation.

With just this simple Mindfulness technique you can start letting go attachments to your EGO / brain created thoughts, feelings and roles, and start choosing a way of relating to the world and especially your immediate environment that will create and attract a life of abundance, happiness, and joy.

Using Mindfulness you will be able to let go of thoughts and emotions that have kept us stuck, and by adding the deep trance state of Hypnosis you will be able to implant new images, new messages, and the type of positive thoughts and images that will manifest the type of life you desire.

If you are ready to truly change your life, to keep those promises to yourself about becoming a nonsmoker, losing the weight you have been dreaming of, letting go of anxiety, phobias, and fears. Finally being able to get a decent night’s sleep, without waking every few hours plagued by random thoughts, and images that create stress and anxiety, THEN CALL NOW!!!!!  Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett serves the Seattle Bellevue area, and is located just minutes from I-5 in North Seattle near Shoreline.  The number is (206) 417-4900.

Let’s face it, a lot of people are afraid of spending money, and a lot of people want to know that they are going to get an effective safe product when they do decide that it is time to spend their money.

Smoking cessation programs are no exception. There are all kinds of methods, methods such as smoking cessation medication, hypnosis therapy, and smoking cessation support programs on the market; some of them are backed by claims of 100% guarantee that you will become a non-smoker easily and effortlessly. I have had friends who swear that the nicotine patch, allowed them to stop smoking, I have had friends who swear that keeping nicotine gum on them during their quit smoking efforts was what caused them to quit smoking. As a smoking cessation therapist, chemical dependency counselor and clinical hypnotherapist all of my clients have assured me that it was the smoking cessation program that caused them to quit smoking.

I am here to tell you that that thing that made them quit smoking was their own decision to be a non-smoker. If quitting smoker was easy and effortless, then no one would still be smoking. It is expensive, it is extremely bad for your health, it is social unacceptable in many circles, it smells bad, and oh yeah did I mention that it is extremely expensive. Now a day’s most cigarettes cost about $8.00 per pack, and when you smoke a pack a day, that averages out to $248.00 per month.

I explain that they can use any medications that they feel comfortable with, but that in actuality, these tools are not necessary, and could possible casue problems with the minds natural balance. The step down process provides the same effects as nicotine patches, and it does so without having to have more nicotine pumped into your system as a replacement. The hypnosis and self hypnotic techniques provide plenty of tools to reduce cravings, which are usually brought about by stress. I also explain that drugs such as Zyban, and Chantix, can cause have been known to produce side effects which might include hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts, dry mouth, insomnia, change in appetite, and headaches.  (None of these side effects have ever been noticed when you use hypnosis).

You can eliminate the bounds of addiction 100% guaranteed. You can free yourself from whatever issue or behavior you have been struggling with no matter what anyone else has told you or no matter what anyone else claims, and I have witnessed people do this with the power of their subconscious mind! These techniques are available to anyone who wishes to finally end their addictive behavior, and is taught through Foundations Hypnosis hypnosis for addicts.

I have seen people stop their daily and continued use of such drugs as Crystal Meth, Heroin, Cocaine, Alcohol, and Nicotine by learning powerful and effective methods of self hypnosis, mindfulness and meditation. Hypnotherapy help is not only available but is highly effective.

First I would like to establish, what exactly is an addict?  According to the dictionary, the word addict means to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.

Last week I started working with a client for weight loss. When they arrived for their first appointment they mentioned that they were not sure if I would be the appropriate choice for a weight loss program, due to my heavy emphasis on addiction. They went on to say that after thinking about it, they realized that some of their weight issues probably revolved around and addiction to food. I congratulated them on coming to the realization that one of the reasons that it is so hard to lose weight is because of the need to constantly focus upon food, diet, and eating.

This same rule applies to drugs, alcohol, obsessive compulsive behavior and just about any issue or problem that a person is dealing with in their lives.

Let’s look at drugs for example. Most addiction treatment is based on focusing on the idea that the drug is the enemy, and we must constantly focus on the fact that we are a drug addict, and are in a continual war on drugs.  This approach has proven to be unsuccessful on many levels. The United States has been waging a war on drugs for years, and is losing miserably. Treatment centers have continually addressed drug and alcohol addiction as a fight against the substance, and the recovery rates are very dismal. People have been fighting weight with diets and gimmicks that treat food as the enemy, something to be avoided and fought against, and yet we are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity in this country. Looking at the list of treatment centers and diet centers from Seattle, Bellevue, Shoreline, North Seattle, Everett, Lynwood, and Kirkland, seems to suggest that we have so many places to go, but are finding very little success.

Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Bellevue teaches you how to reclaim the power and control in your life, by teaching you self hypnosis to relieve stress and anxiety, one of the major reasons that people use substances in an addict fashion.  Foundations also teach mindfulness techniques that are the corner stone of such treatment programs like the ones used by UW Medical Centers.  When you experience the power of your subconscious mind, and gain hypnotherapy help, you will learn to stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on the solution. It was Mother Theresa who stated, “I will not attend an anti war demonstration, but I will attend a peace demonstration”. Here was a woman who understood the true power of attention, and how you can use your own focus of attention to eliminate behaviors and addictions in your life by that power.

CALL NOW!! If you are experiencing any issues or problems with any kind of addiction, or obsessive compulsive behavior in your life, YOU CAN TAKE CONTROL, YOU CAN ELIMANATE that behavior and live a life of freedom and happiness. Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett  at (206) 417-4900.
