ABOUT THE PRACTITIONER

Meet Michael D. Milson

Michael is the practitioner behind "I Used to Smoke"™. He works privately with people who are ready to understand and begin changing the automatic patterns that keep cigarettes in their lives.

His work is offered through Michael D. Milson - HypnoCoach, a legal assumed name of Milson Group, LLC.

The problem is rarely a lack of information

Most smokers already know why they want to stop. The frustrating part is that knowing and doing can feel like two different things. A cigarette may have become connected to relief, focus, a break, a routine, a social moment, or something else that happens almost automatically.

Michael's work begins by understanding those connections without shame or pressure. The goal is not to force every client through the same script. It is to work with the particular organization of the habit as that person experiences it.

Experience and training

Michael has worked with hypnosis, coaching, and personal changework since 2014. His relevant background includes:

• HMI Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy with Honors

• Associate of Occupational Studies in Mind-Body Psychology with Honors

• experience as a hypnosis trainer and life coach

• ongoing private work with clients seeking personal and behavioral change

Credentials provide a foundation. The more important question inside a session is how carefully the work is adapted to the person in front of him.

A conversational, individualized approach

Sessions can include focused conversation, hypnosis, NLP, EFT, coaching, and related techniques. The method is selected around what emerges rather than treated as the product itself.

You do not need to perform hypnosis correctly or arrive knowing exactly why you smoke. Michael's role is to help you notice the pattern more clearly, work with what becomes relevant, and give you his best professional effort during the time you have booked.

Clear expectations

No ethical practitioner can promise a particular result. People respond differently, and outcomes may depend on participation, circumstances, choices, and follow-through.

Michael does not diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions, prescribe medication, or replace care from an appropriately licensed healthcare professional. Questions about health, medication, or nicotine-replacement products should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
