WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
The numbers of people affected by addictions and substance abuse continue to
rise – causing immense mental, physical and financial suffering to individuals,
their families and colleagues – while the resources to help are dwindling.
But thankfully it is possible to help most addicts transform their lives – often
in only a few sessions – as you will discover on this practical day which draws
together, from various schools of solution-focused therapy, the most effective
and proven techniques for treating addictions (including motivational
interviewing and self compassion techniques) with essential neuroscientific
insights into the addictive process to create powerful interventions.
You will leave the day with renewed confidence knowing how it is possible to
help most people with addictions, enabling them to transform their lives, often
in a small number of sessions.
The skills covered are essential to have (along with guided imagery) if you wish
to improve your effectiveness when helping people quit any addiction, including:
alcohol addiction, smoking, gambling addiction, shopping, social media
addiction, sex, substance abuse, self-harm and eating disorders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE
You will leave this workshop with essential information and a variety of skills
that you can implement straight away. However, the key concepts and most
effective ways of treating addictions, which you will see demonstrated and
explained, incorporate guided imagery skills. We therefore recommend, if you
aren’t proficient in these already, that you attend the Guided imagery and
visualisation for therapeutic change workshop (either before or after this one).
The counter-conditioning technique that you will see demonstrated and explained
on ‘Stopping Addictions’, is taught in detail and practiced by workshop
participants on Guided Imagery Day 2: additional techniques.
‘Stopping Addictions’ complements our online course Tackling Addiction and what
you will learn on it will also be very useful if you support or work with people
who self-harm.
