How Many Sessions will You Need? As an ethical professional, I can't give you an exact number. To do that I need to understand the particular issue or issues that you want to work on, and get to know you and be able to appreciate your needs and preferences as an individual. Although some clients are completely successful after a single session, from experience I've found that from two to four sessions of about one hour each are often required. In most cases, the first session is only a beginning. I don't yet know you, and you don't yet know me. Because you are unique, I don't yet know fully what to suggest to you and you don't know yet what to tell me. In the second session, we have met before; you have feedback for me and know what to tell me. I can tell by your feedback which suggestions will be best for you. In subsequent sessions we can review your progress and reinforce it, if needed. There is one exception to this general rule: my Smoking Cessation program takes one double length session and is guaranteed.   Success, of course and as always with hypnosis, depends upon your motivation and committment to becoming a non-smoker. If the reason you haven't yet become a non-smoker is that it can be a hard habit to break without some help, you will succeed in just that one session. If you have, as some do, a hidden subconscious reason to continue to smoke, we can work on that reason in a follow-up session which would be free. In any case, I stand by and will honor my guarantee. Please understand that I will not ask you sign a contract for a fixed number of sessions, nor will I ask you to pay in advance for future sessions.
