Smoking Cessation
Sunday 31st January 2010
” Smoking Cessation” Masterclass - Beverley H George DHP, LAPHP
Therapists from a wide variety of backgrounds will be catered-for in this masterclass which encourages the construction of “Quit Smoking”systems to suit everybody,
Practical work ensures that, wherever and whenever trained, you can create a very personal and extremely effective style in this vitally important work. Whether hypnotherapist, counsellor, NLP practitioner or psychotherapist, you will gain new perspectives, fresh material and complete confidence that your success rate will get ever nearer that magic 100%.
This masterclass will be tailored to suit the needs of every participant – contributions and demonstrations will be encouraged. (Are YOU a smoker ? If so …. !)
At the end of the masterclass you will take away everything you need to start “Smoking Cessation” treatment - or to be even better at it. Greater success means even more referrals!
The following points will be dealt with – including:
Why people smoke, why they started and why they “can’t “ stop, and why they expect us to do the stopping for them.
How to develop your technique – starting with self-belief. (Believe the right things and success is almost certain).
The history of tobacco smoking, Sir Walter Raleigh et al.
The chemicals – what is it that does the harm?
The medical background – things therapists should know but often don’t.
The sociological background, peer-pressure, parent role-models, media influence.
The psychological background – how the belief system sucks in smoking myths and rejects rationality.
Tobacco addiction – compulsion or cop-out?
Changing the belief system and stopping the habit.
Evaluating the problem – client assessment.
When to refuse treatment – ethical “grey areas” - is it ever actually better for the client to go on smoking?
“Guaranteeing” success: can you? Should you? And – what actually is success?
How success can turn into failure, with and without your help.
Taking the initial call – what to say – and what to ask!
Why should the treatment begin when you pick up the phone.
Planning the session – why it should always be different!
One session or more?
Length and timing, pacing and content.
Client comfort – physical and emotional; congruence and self-disclosure.
The key questions to ask your client.
Visual aids – just how graphic should it get?.
Charging.
What NOT to tell the client – and what to give him to take away.
Post-treatment support; “Post-cure” problems, and how to deal with them
When a doctor or surgeon tells your client to go on smoking …!
What your client may do when he’s stopped smoking.
What side-effects are there, and how to deal with them?
Can you expect more business from your satisfied client?
Further treatment and “recommendations”; smoking is often a family thing, so stand by to deal with the relatives, friends and work-mates who will be contacting you after each success.
Technique: adapting material for use both with hypnosis and without.
Covert hypnosis.
Psychotherapy and smoking.
Writing (or improvising) scripts.
What else does can I use it for? How the Smoking Cessation programme can be adapted for other purposes (and just as successfully!)
