Smoking Cessation Diploma Course

Smoking Cessation Diploma Course

Accredited by the PLTA.

Synopsis

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 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.

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.
