It’s a different side of Ellen DeGeneres, shedding tears on national television.

The usually upbeat host gets emotional on Monday’s episode of her talk show when talking to a hypnotist about her addiction to smoking cigarettes. After being asked by hypnotist Paul McKenna to think of four times she wanted to quit smoking, envisioning them clearly in her mind, he then asks her to then think of lighting up again and DeGeneres begins to cry.

McKenna explains the exercise, “Your brain’s like a computer, what we’re gonna do is reprogram it so that smoking doesn’t mean the same thing again.”

It appears the trick was a success, with Ellen exclaiming three days later, “I feel so good. I feel healthier! It seems ridiculous but my skin looks better, I just feel like, I feel healthy. I feel really good.” source
