I recommend monthly treatments for four to six months. I usually include auricular points in the treatment since patients generally look forward to the treatment that gave them results. No one expects a person to quit drinking alcohol by attending a few AA meetings. Quitting smoking is only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of triggers that can cause relapse.
Cigarettes can act as a shield to insulate uncomfortable feelings and situations.
A new nonsmoker can feel vulnerable and confused in trying to handle a stressful situation. Monthly treatments provide support and bring the person back into harmony. It is not our job to provide therapy. However, we can help the client clarify feelings. Relapse is often part of the process.
