Chapter 7 by owppppps owppppps

What's next?

They head to the room and the session begins

As Jenna sat down on the couch in the room, she took note of all the gadgets that weren't used by her previous therapist, and was confused.

"What's with all these techy things?"

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about Miss Ortega, simply the equipment needed for your new form of treatment."

"Please, call me Jenna. And I wasn't told about a new treatment plan."

Thomas froze for a second, but quickly regained his composure

"Ah, my apologies Jenna. See, it's the first day since the reopening so all the systems for patient communication mustn't be set up fully. I assure you this won't happen again."

"Oh okay, well that's fine. What has changed with my treatment plan."

"I'm going to be using a form of hypnotherapy to help you kick this smoking habit. I'll be inducing you into a light trance where I will install some triggers that will give your brain alternative ways of dealing with the craving."

Jenna looks a bit sceptical, but goes along with it and leans back into her chair.

15 minutes later, and the actress is in a deep trance, and Thomas gets to work on the therapy part

"So Jenna, how strong are these cravings when they occur?"

The actress takes a couple of seconds to respond, before saying "Really... Really strong."

"And outside of the craving, does anything else give you that same satisfaction, but in a less self-destructive way?"

"Yes I do"

Now, Thomas should've really asked what the action that gave her the same satisfaction was, but it was his first day on the job, happy accidents happen, and this was going to be a very happy accident in a couple of minutes for Thomas

"Great, so from now on Jenna, whenever you get a craving for a cigarette, the craving will instead translate to the new action that is as satisfying. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand"

"Okay Jenna, when I wake you up, you will experience an intense craving. Let's see how you react to it."

Thomas turned off the devices and Jenna started to come out of trance. Just then, Thomas' phone rang with a call from his secretary, and he left the room to answer it. 5 minutes later, and he had another appointment booked for later in the week, and had decided to change the booking system to email so he isn't interrupted during a session again.

Thomas headed back into the room "Sorry about that Jenna, important business ca-... So that's the new way of dealing with the craving huh?"
