Vaping Cessation
When vaping has become part of your everyday routine.
You may have started vaping occasionally and found that, over time, it became something you reached for much more often.
Perhaps you vape while driving, working, studying, relaxing, socialising or scrolling on your phone. You might reach for it when you feel stressed or bored, or notice yourself vaping without consciously deciding to.
You may genuinely want to stop yet find that familiar situations, cravings or routines keep pulling you back into the same pattern.
Therapy can help you understand those patterns and develop different ways of responding to them.
More Than Just a Habit
You might vape:
automatically at certain times of day
while driving, working or studying
when relaxing or scrolling on your phone
when feeling stressed, restless or bored
while drinking alcohol or socialising
because a craving or urge feels difficult to ignore
whenever the vape is within reach
without consciously deciding that you actually want to vape
Vaping can become closely connected with particular activities, emotions and everyday routines.
Over time, the associations between vaping and everyday situations can become so familiar that reaching for the vape begins to feel like a natural part of what you are doing. Changing the pattern can therefore involve more than simply deciding to stop.
A Personalised Approach to Quitting Vaping
There is no single reason people continue to vape, so therapy is tailored to the patterns that are most relevant to you.
ILAMOS offers a personalised 3-stage quit vaping program designed to help you understand your vaping patterns, change familiar responses and strengthen your progress.
Depending on your experience and goals, our work may involve:
identifying your strongest vaping triggers
recognising routines and automatic associations
developing different responses to cravings and urges
separating vaping from activities such as driving, working, studying or taking a break
developing alternatives when vaping has become connected with stress, boredom or restlessness
working with thoughts that can make quitting feel difficult
strengthening confidence in your ability to respond differently
preparing for situations where you may previously have vaped automatically
The focus is on helping you develop new responses that can continue beyond the therapy room.
Clinical Hypnotherapy for Vaping Cessation
Clinical hypnotherapy may be incorporated alongside strategic psychotherapy and behavioural approaches to support your decision to stop vaping.
Hypnotherapy may be used to reinforce therapeutic work, strengthen your motivation and help you develop and rehearse different responses to cravings, urges and familiar vaping triggers, while reinforcing more useful patterns around situations that were previously associated with vaping.
It is not about losing control or being made to do something against your wishes.
You remain aware and involved throughout the process, while the therapeutic work remains
Looking Beyond the Vape
Quitting vaping is not simply about removing the device. It can also involve changing what you do instead when you experience an urge, feel stressed or bored, take a break or encounter a situation that has become strongly associated with vaping. Therapy gives us the opportunity to prepare for those moments before they occur, so you have different responses available when familiar triggers appear.
The aim is to help vaping become less connected with your everyday routines and strengthen your ability to make purposeful choices in situations where the old pattern may previously have taken over
Ready to Stop Vaping?
You do not need to wait until you feel completely confident before you begin. We can start by understanding your vaping patterns, the situations that make stopping difficult and what you would like life without vaping to look like.
