Free "Quit Smoking" Workshop November 18 in Danbury, CT as Part of "Great American Smokeout"

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- In alliance with the American Cancer Society’s nationwide “Great American Smokeout” on Thursday, November 18, Danbury-based health and wellness specialist, Stephanie Dalfonzo, will conduct a free workshop, “Kick The Habit – FOR GOOD!”, at 12 noon at the offices of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce located at 39 West Street in Danbury, Connecticut.

A certified hypnotist through the National Guild of Hypnotists, Danbury Hypnosis Owner, Stephanie Dalfonzo, will help all November 18 workshop participants change the thoughts and behaviors necessary to quit their smoking habit. “Hypnosis is a very popular intervention for people who are trying to quit smoking,” reported San Francisco VA Medical Center Senior Researcher in Mental Health, Timothy P. Carmody, PhD, who is also a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. “Until now, there has not been enough scientific evidence to validate hypnosis as an approach. This study was designed to provide such evidence.” Dr. Carmody’s study appeared in the May 2008 issue of Nicotine & Tobacco Research.

“As a former smoker and a certified hypnotist I personally, and clinically, understand what is needed to successfully quit smoking”, stated Dalfonzo. “During the workshop, I will combine hypnosis with an energy technique called E.F.T.-Emotional Freedom Technique, and techniques from N.L.P.-Neuro Linguistic Programming. By combining these three powerful techniques, I am able to help people successfully kick the habit.”

Dalfonzo stated that it will be important that participants not smoke for a minimum of four (4) hours before the 12 noon workshop to increase their personal success rate. “My six years of working with smokers have taught me that this step is essential for success. By not smoking prior to the workshop session, participants will be able to learn the methods I teach to knock their cravings down in less than one minute.”

The “Kick the Habit – FOR GOOD!” workshop will be held on Thursday, November 18 at 12 noon at the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce offices at 39 West Street Danbury.
