From the Publisher:

As a veteran hypnotist, Todd Goodwin has seen what works and what doesn’t work. In Break the Chains of Smoking, you will discover powerful insights, both compelling and controversial, that are distilled from his years of direct work with clients and are supported by clinical research. Filled with unconventional wisdom, this clear and concise book strongly questions the outdated, biochemical view of nicotine addiction and smoking cessation that has largely failed smokers for decades. Todd Goodwin’s candid and bold exploration of the mentality of the smoker and the mind-body nature of the smoking habit is a must-read and listen for anyone who is serious about quitting and wants an advocate who is both tough and supportive.

This book is REALLY a how-to guide

Todd Goodwin is in rare company as a Board Certified Fellow of the National Guild of Hypnotists, since only one in 500 hypnotists have earned that designation. He is a certified master practitioner of NLP and a member of the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine. Todd has studied human behavior since 1995, earning a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science from Washington University in St. Louis and a master’s degree in Nutrition and Health Promotion from Simmons University in Boston. Since opening Goodwin Hypnosis in 2007, Todd has helped thousands of clients to resolve a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, trauma, smoking, and other unwanted habits.

          Todd has given numerous presentations on these topics to physicians and medical staff at Baptist Health and Jackson Health System's teaching hospitals, as well as to medical students at the University of Miami. He has held workshops at Canyon Ranch, the International Employee Assistance Professionals Association, and Miami-Dade County's health and fire departments. Todd has also been interviewed and featured by various media outlets, including the Miami Herald, Telemundo, and local radio programs.

          Currently, Todd sees private clients primarily for the rapid resolution of emotional trauma and its emotional and behavioral consequences. His strategy is to identify and resolve the underlying causes of these personal issues, instead of merely treating their symptoms. His mission is to help people “wake up” and develop a greater awareness of the relationship between their mind, body, health, and life experiences, so they can think, feel, and do better. Todd lives with his wife, Gina Goodwin, a board certified hypnotist and expert in smoking cessation and trauma resolution.

"I read Break the Chains of Smoking with great interest and found, not only did it benefit my approach in assisting my own patients, but also discovered some facts about any addiction or habitual practice. Todd writes with a profound ability to engage the reader and leaves one with a desire to improve in whatever may be creating an addictive habit. In essence, I found the writing to be an approach for resolving the root cause of any person’s need to use smoking for easing one’s suffering, and with compassion observe the healing that may be required so smoking is no longer a self-sabotaging practice. With humor and kindness, as well as clear facts, Todd will guide anyone to become a better person and liberate themselves of the subconscious suffering by his proven methods of successful practice. I highly recommend this wise writing for anyone and everyone, not just for quitting smoking, but any habit that binds us. With great appreciation and respect, I thank you Todd for helping me on my own path."

"I can confidently say that Break the Chains of Smoking is a clear and direct guide for reprogramming the mind and successfully breaking the terrible habit of smoking through the process of hypnosis. This book provides an easy understanding of how one may perceive the addiction and why it’s useful to apply the effective remedy of hypnotherapy. It’s a mind-opening read and I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with smoking or for anyone with loved ones who just can’t quit."

"Todd Goodwin has hit the nail on the head, as it is the mind and its beliefs that need to be dehypnotized and heal. Unless that is done, other methods are futile. He has developed a whole program to help the mind heal its old beliefs."

If you want to maximize your likelihood of success, it's critical to lay a proper foundation within the conscious mind, no matter how eager you may be right now to reprogram your subconscious mind with hypnosis.

Effective and lasting personal change relies on THREE components – Education, inspiration, and transformation.

Awareness of self and others is essential to understanding why and how we think, feel, and act the way we do. Sadly, most behavioral change methods fail to arm individuals with enough useful information, leaving people at a disadvantage as they attempt to improve their lives. The right type of knowledge or education can lead to clarity, self-confidence, and conviction, which is the first step. That being said, even excellent conscious-level knowledge is not sufficient on its own, since smoking and quitting are primarily subconsciously-driven behaviors. That's where the next two components come in.

Inspiration is an emotional or spiritual phenomenon arising from the subconscious that can stimulate decisive action. When you see or hear examples of successful people, including through our client testimonials and case examples, your internal motivation can increase, along with your belief that you are capable of achieving your goal.

The third component is transformation, which is the most powerful part and the one lacking in most interventions. Transformation is the subconscious relearning that facilitates emotional and behavioral shifts, such as quitting smoking. It makes issues like willpower, constant reminders, cravings, and "triggers" irrelevant, since the change becomes automatic without conscious effort or awareness.

We aim to succeed in all three areas – where most approaches fall short (including by many other hypnotists). This educational package focuses on empowering you through education and inspiration, while Todd's 30-day hypnosis system focuses on transformation.

Want to get the best results possible?
The first step is greater self-awareness.

Here's your preparation toolbox:

Our DELUXE package will help you fully prepare to quit smoking with the following educational materials:

1. Break the Chains of Smoking is packed with 62 pages of valuable knowledge, so it takes most people a few hours to complete. The audio version is 2.5 hours. We recommend reading the book AND then listening to the audiobook to maximize learning.

2. More Success & Less Stress is a 24-minute relaxation hypnosis audio that will help you reduce stress and adopt a relaxed attitude about quitting smoking (or any goal). Listen to it daily for at least a week for best results.

3. Gina's full 80-minute video interview with Todd addresses 15 topics from the book and another not covered in the book. (You've already seen a quick video with short clips from this interview.) Some people learn best by reading, some by listening, and others by watching videos. Watch this video before you read or hear the book to gain a more thorough understanding of the book's content.

4. How and Why We Self-Sabotage is a 43-minute radio interview with Todd that provides an in-depth exploration of the mind’s internal conflict ("I know I SHOULD quit smoking, BUT..."), goal setting, procrastination, and self-sabotage.

5. Three episodes of Wake Up Calls (audio and transcript) in which Todd and Gina discuss topics that are relevant to your goal to become smoke-free. What if your bad habit is actually good for you? considers the hidden benefits of any unwanted habit. Willpower doesn't work! reveals the shortcomings of using willpower for habit change. If you ignore your past traumas, they will haunt you. explores how unresolved emotional issues (especially trauma) can make it harder to break compulsive habits.

The DELUXE package includes everything mentioned above and is the more comprehensive option. The BASIC bundle includes just the book (PDF and audio) and relaxation hypnosis audio, but NOT the additional 3 hours of audio, video, and transcribed content.

NOTE: The extra content offered in the DELUXE package will NOT be available separately, so now is the time to get it.

First Step to Freedom

This introductory bundle teaches you the very basics. "Getting Out of Your Own Way" (transcript) explores the mind’s internal debate when setting health-related goals ("I know I should quit smoking, BUT..."). "Why Unlearning is More Important Than Learning" (audio and transcript) explores the real causes of emotional and behavioral challenges and how to unlearn those problems. "The 7 Keys to Achieving Your Goals NOW" outlines how to achieve your goals and what you missed in the past that caused you to struggle. This bundle contains 30-45 minutes of audio and text content. PLUS, we'll send you a link to watch the video "5 Myths that Stop Smokers from Quitting."

Once you have fully absorbed the conscious-level knowledge in Break the Chains of Smoking and the related materials, you will be prepared to take action and quit smoking. Todd's one-of-a-kind, 30-day online system (NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS PAGE) is a guided program designed to free you subconsciously from the emotionally compulsive habit of smoking. He developed this program over several years using a method that helped his clients at Goodwin Hypnosis to quit smoking naturally and often easily. In recent years, those clients paid Todd or Gina $1,777 for one-on-one help. For a small fraction of that price, the digital program offers an even more robust protocol. It shares proven techniques to reduce stress, clear unwanted thoughts, focus your mind, and break your emotional dependency, all of which are essential steps as you approach your quit day. In addition, five advanced hypnosis audios will help you to change how you think about yourself and smoking at the subconscious level. These audios are released according to a preset schedule and provide the powerful hypnotic messaging that give this program such a high success rate.

TO BE CLEAR...we're NOT going to offer you that program until you have fully prepared yourself to quit smoking. After all, if you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail. So the next step in your preparation is to select either DELUXE or BASIC above. Several days later, after you have had enough time to fully read, listen to, and watch everything, we will invite you to sign up for the 30-day hypnosis system.

Looking ahead to the 30-day online hypnosis system...
