On the 6th of June 2011, Dr Kraft will be giving a presentation on the use of hypnosis for smoking cessation. David will present a case study which illustrates that hypnosis can be used effectively to help individuals stop smoking in one hour. The case study looks at a 33 year old man who had been a heavy smoker for over 20 years. He gave up smoking after one hour and did not smoke one cigarette for then on. At the year follow up, Philip, was still smoke free.

Dr Kraft will talk about the importance of building rapport while booking the session and building expectation on the phone. He will then describe his unique approach to treatment which incorporates the use of aversion, chaining suggestions, poetic repetition, response sets, split screen imagery and the ‘Non Smoker Walk’.

Smoking Hypnotherapy with Dr Kraft is a highly effective form off treatment which has no side effects.

Dear Dr David Kraft

I am aged 24 and I have been suffering from depression for three years and now I can’t sleep. This was the only thing that I enjoyed doing when I was depressed, and now I feel drowsy all day and want to sleep, but at night, I can’t get to sleep. I have been suffering from this selective form of insomnia for 11 weeks now and it is getting worse. I can’t sleep at all. I lie awake at night hoping that something will happen and I get so angry all the time. I heard that hypnotherapy was a really useful and empowering way to help something with sleeping problems, and I read your paper on sleeping disorders. Please help me.

My family seems to have a problem with sleep, and I fear that I have, at this age, developed this fear that I will not get to sleep. Can you use hypnotherapy to help.

Thanks for listening

To London Hypnotherapy UK

I just wanted to put pen and paper to thank you so much for your help and the hypnotherapy. As soon as I phoned, I felt that I was in good hands, and they said that the hypnotherapist is extremely good at what he does. They also said that he is a psychotherapist too and that is principally what he does. Well, you know, the slogan of London Hypnotherapy UK is ’someone who cares…’ and I think that this is correct. The secretaries were lovely and helpful too. I have to say that I felt worried about the whole hypnosis thing. And I didn’t think that it would help me at all. I have been suffering from insomnia and hypnogogic hallucinations for many years now and I had come to the end of the road. But the hypnotherapist, Dr Kraft, reassured me and made me feel much better. He guided me through the hypnotherapy process and this helped me a great deal. I think that he is the best hypnotherapist ever. I should know. I have seen three in my life so far, and I don’t think I need to see another hypnotherapist ever again. He also taught me self hypnosis and this is really important indeed. If you need a hypnotherapist in London, contact London Hypnotherapy UK. Their phone number is 07946 579645, and they are really helpful. The only thing that I found difficult was the first session. But you have to work through that if you want to get better. A friend of mine went to see the same hypnotherapist and he got better too. But he said that he was in a terrible state for several days after some of the session. I only had 5 sessions and got better, but he cried during the hypnotherapy and it took him a couple of months before he felt ready to leave. I suppose we are all different.

Dear Hypnotherapist

I have been looking for a hypnotherapist in London for some time now and I have not had much luck. I looked on the Internet and have found some really dodgy looking people. Some say that they are hypnotherapists and others say that they are hypnotists, others combine hypnotherapy with psychotherapy and others used NLP and CBT. What a mess. What do you do. I am completely confused; I think that I need to speak to someone and have a session just to plan what I need to do in the treatment. What can you offer me. You look like you are at the top of the field. Are you a specialist hypnotherapist? I see that you work in Harley Street. Please help. S

Dear S

I am a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. The approach that I use combined psychodynamic psychotherapy with hypnotherapy–I also use some behavioural approaches to treatment. In the first session–the consultation–both therapist and client will discuss the form of treatment and ask and respond to questions. I can offer you an hour’s consultation in order to do this. If you would like to book an appointment, please ring 0207 467 8564.

Dear hypnotherapist/psychotherapist

My name is Margaret. I have been working really hard to try to take off weight. I have a comprehensive understanding of the principles of taking off weight. I understand that you have to eat small meals and that you should not snack in between eating sessions. I also understand that sugar is not helpful and that we should reduce a fat intake. I know of of this. I have taken off a stone so far. But I have these sessions that take place where I don’t care. I binge eat and the more I eat the more I don’t care. I say to myself, ‘Well, I have eaten this so I might as well eat this cake as well, or this pizza, or this pint of beer’. And then in the morning, I feel really guilty and it puts me back three days worth of dieting. Or more…….

Can you help me stop having this attacks? I have many friends that have tried hypnotherapy and they have been helped for all sorts of problems. I have looked on your website and I have been really impressed. I look at the section entitled, ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. What is ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. Can it help me with my binge eating and will it help me to take off weight in the future? I am in it for the long term and really want to get to my ideal weight. Hypnotherapy must be the right thing for me. I want it to empower me to have more control. At the moment I am 11 stone, but I am not tall and my ideal weight is 9 stone. I am also doing exercise at the gym and this has helped me to take off weight in the past. I am also looking trimmer and fitter. I reallly hope hypnotherapy will work. The cardiovascular work that I have been doing has given me more energy too, but some weeks I put on muscle and weigh more. I only weigh myself at the end of each week, and I don’t do this every day. I am looking for a top hypnotherapist. Someone who really knows what he is doing. A hypnotherapist based in somewhere like Harley Street like yourself.

Can you get me an appointment and how do I do it.

Margaret

Dear Margaret

Yes certainly I can help. One used to have to go to one’s GP to get a referral letter, but now, all one has to do is to go to London Hypnotherapy UK or London Psychotherapy directly, and then book an appointment. The links are below:

www.londonhypnotherapyuk.com and www.londonpsychotherapy.co.uk

‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’ is the general name given to treatment programmes which use hypnotherapy to help people to take off weight. Some hypnotherapist use a strict regimented approach which last s for a certain number of weeks; I, however, tend to build a treatment programme around the needs of the individual client, and this strategy is tailor made to suit your needs. I have had a great deal of success working with a number of people who have had eating disorders. However, binge eating, in any any of its forms is not classed as an eating disorder. Certainly, the aim of the hypnotherapy is to help you to take off weight and to keep it off in the future.

If you would like to book a session, please feel free to ring me at 10 Harley Street, London, W1G 9PF. I look forward to speaking to you. The number is as follows: 0207 467 8564.

Dear Sir

I just need some help with a few things. I want to have hypnotherapy with a trained hypnotherapist. Do you use psychotherapy or hypnotherapy? I understand that hypnotherapy is safe and that it involves two people and no drugs but will I be aware of what happens during the process. Can hypnotherapy be used to treat phobias, and how long does the treatment last. My friend had hypnotherapy three years back and she said that it helped her a great amount. She never felt better. What are the effects of hypnotherapy and how long do they last.

I need a hypnotherapist in central London, and I looked at your website. I decided to send you this e-mail because I thought that you looked like a fully trained hypnotherapist and not just some wacky witch doctor who was just taking people’s money, or a bored housewife who has re-trained because she wants to ‘help people’. Please advise. Kartrina

Dear Katrina

You are fully aware of what is happening during the hypnotherapy. Please see my CV on the website or the information about me at the end of this message. I have been using psychotherapy and hypnosis for years and very successfully. I use hypnotherapy to enhance my work in the psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have treated many individuals with phobic anxiety and successfully. I cannot give guarantees: it would not be fair. However, I do like to think of the work in short phases and do not see the point of drawing things out. Once we have got to the root of the problem, the effects are, in many cases, long lasting.

If you would like to book an appointment, please do not hesitate to ring me on 0207 467 8564.

Best of luck

Dear Sir

I would like to give up smoking but I am unable to do it. My mother spoke to me the other day and he said that she would pay for some hypnotherapy session for me. She said that many of her friends have gone to a hypnotherapists and that the effects are long lasting. She also that that it doesn’t take too long and that I would have to come for half a year or more. She said that it can take three or four sessions. Is this right? I really want to give up smoking. I have been smoking for eight years now. I have tried nicotine patches but they just make me feel ill. I have tried acupuncture to help me stop but that didn’t work at all. I have also tried nicotine gum. I am afraid that I will put on weight too. Please advise. Dawn

Dear Dawn

Thank you for the e-mail. Indeed, the approach that we use at London Hypnotherapy UK is fast and effective: some individuals are able to stop smoking in one session while others need up to three or four sessions. Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy, a technique in this case which combines psychodynamic psychotherapy with covert sensitization, is both powerful and long lasting too. However, it is important to note that it is a complete abstinence programme; once you start treatment, you must say to yourself that you will never have one cigarette again. You become a non smoker–not for five years or so, but for life. This cost effective treatment is also good because it doesn’t use medication and there are no side effects. Best of luck.
