Description
This CPD is for anyone who wants to improve their confidence in working with smoking & vaping cessation clients and for those that want some additional tools to maximise the effects of their sessions in this area.
FULL DISCRIPTION
This half-day CPD is designed to help you feel confident, flexible, and well-equipped when working with clients who want to stop smoking or vaping.
The training begins with a brief refresher of the CPHT smoking cessation protocol, reinforcing the brain-based explanation and overall structure of an approach that we know works. Particular attention is given to areas that can feel unfamiliar or intimidating when compared to standard Solution Focused Hypnotherapy sessions, helping therapists feel grounded and confident in its delivery.
What you will learn
Building on this foundation, the CPD introduces a range of practical techniques drawn from NLP, CBT, and Ericksonian language patterns. These include solution-focused questioning to increase motivation and help clients anticipate future challenges, CBT-informed “self-binding” strategies to reduce triggers and create distance from old habits, and NLP techniques such as anchoring, six-step reframe & future pacing. The training will also touch on how to naturally integrate Ericksonian language patterns both conversationally and during hypnosis to subtly strengthen commitment and behavioural change.
Whilst the session is focused on Smoking and Vaping, we also explore how these approaches can be adapted to support clients reducing or stopping cannabis use alongside the SFH protocol.
By the end of the training, you should feel more confident, better resourced, and more prepared to support successful and lasting smoking and vaping cessation outcomes for your clients.
