Celebrities opting for hypnotherapy
Take That star Mark Owen is apparently having intensive hypnotherapy to help him quit smoking. The star has revealed he’s desperate to give up smoking before the birth of his second child next month.
He explained recently: “I was on 15 a day, more when I was working. The first two days were the hardest; I keep getting angry and snapping for no reason.”
It may take more than a few attempts to finally quit smoking, but it is achievable and millions of people have successfully kicked the habit. Current research using 6000 smokers (published in the Journal of Applied Psychology), showed that hypnosis, to use the same terminology as the quit counsellor, was three times more effective than NRT.
