subject: The Cost Of Quitting Smoking With Hypnosis [print this page] There are lots of different methods to kick the smoking habit, and each come with its own price. So how much can you expect to spend on hypnosis in order to quit smoking? That all varies according to how you go about it.
Meeting In-Person with a Hypnotist
Meeting in-person with a hypnotist is oftentimes the most expensive option available. Prices vary greatly and can range between $85 per session in small towns up to $500 per session in cities or with celebrity hypnotists. Prices will likewise vary in accordance with the level of experience of the hypnotist. While the lower end of the spectrum may seem like a bargain - $85 - understand that this is per session, and you could require multiple sessions. The charges can add up quickly.
Group Hypnosis Seminar
Going to a seminar helps to split the price amongst many people. The common prices you will find in your local paper range from $50 to $125. Since seminars are frequently conducted by traveling hypnotists, there usually isn't an option to get a follow-up session, so you don't need to worry about additional costs. If you would like a follow-up session however, you might need to consider other options, and consequently other costs.
Recorded Hypnosis Programs for Home Use
Audio programs may differ widely and will be found on both ends of the spectrum - from the extremely cheap to the ridiculously expensive. The best programs will usually fall around the $50 or $60 to $100 range though. More features usually add up to higher costs, but for a base program, that's what you can expect. The advantage of these programs will be in the cost savings down the road though! Since you own the program once you buy it, you are able to listen to it as often as you like, effectively offering you unlimited repeat sessions at no additional cost to you.
There's no established industry standard for hypnosis pricing, but in general, what's listed above is what you can expect to find. Remember though, you often get what you pay for. That is not an argument for the most expensive option, however it is an argument to use your head. If a hypnotist appears to be charging far too little, you might like to ask why.
The most affordable option is not always the best option when it comes to quitting smoking with hypnosis! There are many factors that you should consider, from reputation to education, in addition to the general professionalism and how the hypnotist or program makes you "feel" about working with them.
