That reach for the vape when there is nothing else happening, when an evening goes quiet and boredom creeps in, is the trigger this session was built to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe session uses the image of a riverbank, with stepping stones between the old identity of smoker or vaper and the new one you are moving towards, and suggests that vaping was never really about nicotine. It was a synthetic stand in for real stimulation and real connection, tolerated the way someone on a space station tolerates protein powder because nothing better is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis session was shaped from work with a client who had already given up nicotine but kept reaching for a vape whenever boredom set in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs about 24 minutes, and it works well on the evenings when there is nothing else to do and the old urge shows up first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"episode-backlink\"\u003eListen to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thehypnotistpodcast.com\/episode\/vaping-is-a-poor-substitute-for-connection-and-stimulation\/\"\u003eVaping is a Poor Substitute for Connection and Stimulation\u003c\/a\u003e free on The Hypnotist Podcast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr class=\"product-disclaimer-rule\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"product-disclaimer\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese sessions are for relaxation and personal empowerment.
