The Labyrinth
Center Stop Smoking Program
At the Labyrinth Center, we utilize a program adapted from the one designed
by Dr. Richard Harte, a noted psychologist and hypnotherapist in New York
City.
This program is composed of four sessions. Hypnosis, Neuro-linguistic
psychology and educational information are used to facilitate making the
transition from being a smoker to becoming a non-smoker.
This
program:
-- combines visualized aversion and enticement
-- provides conditioned response restructuring
-- teaches the technique of self-hypnosis
-- teaches you to reduce and eliminate cravings
-- provides educational materials and resources
-- does not quit for you . . . you must do the work
A
Combined Effort:
The Labyrinth Center staff works with you while you are stopping smoking
and eliminating your physical and emotional ties to smoking.
Our
Responsibilities:
-- to listen to you and structure the program to fit your individual needs
-- be available for all scheduled appointments and provide necessary
instruction, handouts and guidance
Your
