Smoking Cessation

 

 

 

There are about 12 million adult cigarette smokers in Great Britain.

There are another 2.3 million who smoke pipes or cigars.

There are a similar number of ex smokers

 

 

A very large percentage of these people also fall into the category of those who ‘Really want to give up Smoking’, so there is a huge potential for this type of business within the normal every day practice of Hypnotherapy. This is also a very lucrative component of our industry.

 

By learning the skills presented within this course you will be able to treat even the most addicted of smokers with a greater confidence than ever before.

Support

 

 

The course has been carefully developed over a period of time, based on the many years of personal experience in Hypnotherapy. Therefore, throughout the training your tutor is able to offer as much support as required. This is totally flexible as we appreciate that we are all individuals and some of us prefer close supervision, while others wish to work through the course with little contact. It is your course and you can do it in the way you want to. All you need to do is be committed and learn to the standards that allow you to be a confident and competent Smoking Cessation practitioner.

Synopsis

 

The course is divided into nine lessons

 

 

Part 1

 

The theory behind the use of hypnotherapy for smoking cessation is offered. Along with a presentation of smoking statistics, the merits of the 90-minute format are discussed. Appointment making, being the beginning of the therapy, is also covered.

 

Part 2

 

This section covers the first 30 minutes which is a pre-therapy counselling session, where you gain information from your client and explain what you are going to do. This will provide you with the material you need to customise the therapy for each individual.

 

Part 3

 

Hypnosis begins with some suggested inductions and deepeners. The first therapeutic tool used here is replacement therapy where an anchor is created to equip the smoker with a substitute.

 

Part 4

 

Positive imagery is used to instil the positive benefits your client will gain as a non-smoker.

 

Part 5

 

Aversion therapy. The negatives are explored here along with additional anchors to affect your subjects taste and reaction to smoking.

 

Part 6

 

This section looks at rejection; the ability to refuse a cigarette when one is offered.

 

Part 7

 

The emotional connection with smoking is presented here, focusing on the importance of your client taking control and being there for loved ones. This is usually the most powerful section within the therapy and provides the wake up call that is needed.

 

Part 8

 

A variation of parts therapy is used here in the final segment of the therapy, where the ‘smoker within’ is called upon for negotiation and agreement.

 

Part 9

 

The whole 90-minute session is now brought together and put into chronological order. Timing is very important so the whole procedure is mapped out with time prompts. All the scripts used within the session are individually presented for ease of use and/or copying. Advertising is also covered.
