This session is designed as preparation before quitting smoking, aiming to install the belief that becoming a nonsmoker is possible. After a breathing-based relaxation induction with colour visualisation, Adam guides the listener back to a childhood memory of being absorbed in a computer game to access a trance-like state and a version of self without cigarette desire. He then uses the classic tethered elephant metaphor to illustrate learned helplessness, before having the listener imagine wearing an electric collar that shocks them every time they smoke, reducing desire from ten to zero. Finally, a dramatic scenario involving a kidnapped family member is used to test willingness to abstain. The session closes by reinforcing a new belief that the listener can become a nonsmoker, without yet claiming the work of quitting is complete.
