Pacific Laser Therapy Center’s smoking cessation therapy consists of three sessions. From my experience most clients require only one session (I have treated many clients successfully with a 92% success rate however since brain chemistry and initial response is idiosyncratic the protocol is three 60-90 minute sessions to quell any lingering physical withdrawal.
The first session consists of extensive intake (addiction inventory) where I investigate the “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” and “how” per their smoking behavior. I literally walk through an average day with a client and craft a “new daily life schedule.” This schedule empowers the client to create a new life routine which is very powerful in quelling the self-destructive addictive tendencies of the nicotine addict. I also teach my client powerful and practical CBT techniques which assist the client in “releasing” the cigarette (or negative or troubling thoughts or feelings such as doubt, etc) thought. The laser therapy session in itself only takes 25 minutes to complete.
All three sessions consist of: cold laser session, CBT-like “releasing therapy,” beta wave relaxation. Every client takes home a very informative and easy to follow-up aftercare kit as well as a positive affirmation CD in a cool tote bag.
