Each time thereafter, during the ...

Each time thereafter during the month K. did not commit any new attempts to quit smoking. Experience smoker with K. at the time of seeking care accounted for almost 15 years. The latest attempt to give up cigarettes was accomplished for the three months prior to treatment. In the past 3 years K. smoked one pack of cigarettes a day, but after the last unsuccessful attempt of withdrawal from nicotine, he began to smoke 1,5 - 2 packs of cigarettes a day. After two meetings, the main task of which was work on the formation of the correct and sufficient power motivation, AK made another attempt to quit smoking. Development of reactions to smoking cessation corresponded previous experience. In those days we met with Colin daily. Already on the first day after giving up cigarettes, I asked K. to pay attention to those sensations that occur in his body after he refused to nicotine. By the third day began to appear in K. irritability and anxiety, disrupt sleep. In parallel, AK noted the emergence of unnatural for a sense of tension in my body. This tension was not localized in any one or parts of the body, it moves from one area to another, causing, together with a feeling of weakness, and weakness. This subjective sensation was accompanied by an objective stress of almost all muscle groups, restless behavior (K. I could hardly sit still), distraction of attention. AK noted that this stress causes him headaches, aggression, reduced mental capacity. I was asked to rate tanatoterapii whose purpose was to relieve the tension that interferes with K. The first session was held on the third day of quitting, with the reception of "Theatre of touch" [1]. After the session noted that the AK strain formerly in the body disappeared and was replaced by the state of ease, "a pleasant earthiness, irritability disappeared. K. talked about that during the session in his consciousness raised a set of images, which succeeded one another, changing and disappearing. It reminded him of a dream. The images were bright, many causes strong emotions. After the exercises by K. preserved a sense of happiness and a sense of warmth throughout the body. The next day the procedure was repeated using the technique of "Bodily magic" or "joining" [1]. AK noted that the sense of tension builds up in the evening, which prevents him from sleeping. Sam became restless sleep, dreaming, one way or another were associated with cigarettes. Directly in the dream appeared irresistible urge to smoke. After the session tanatoterapii tension vanishes, replaced by restlessness, accompanied by a decline and total disappearance of anxiety, irritability, weakness, clearly felt a sense of warmth throughout the body, indicating a deep trance in which resided C. during the exercise. I asked K. to focus on these feelings and offered him a bedtime meditation to the method of SR Sokolovsky (method applied creative meditation - AFM). The method is in search of sensations during meditation, leading eventually to the emergence of desire to smoke and to replace these feelings to others, helping to overcome cravings, with a bright positive emotional coloring [4].
