The “How to Stop Anyone Smoking” Course by Uncommon Practitioners provides a comprehensive and powerful framework plus all the tools necessary to work with clients who smoke. It presents a psychologically supported approach like none other. The instructional videos and educational materials are clear and concise, the psychological framework and strong use of metaphor is supported by the sample scripts. I thoroughly enjoyed the online course and feel a greater sense of confidence in my ability to help a client stop smoking.
The psychology behind this approach and the strong use of metaphor is what resonated most with me. Separating the smoking/cigarettes from the client, teaming with the client against the smoking/cigarettes, helping them understand it doesn’t fit with who they are at the core, and the strong metaphor examples provide powerful structure. The use of reframing and utilization of their rebellion against the smoking are simple to apply. I appreciate that you included the scripts, but encourage personalization with each client. The videos and module tests provide such added value in the learning process, and although I wasn’t able to participate in the group sessions I am sure these are tremendously helpful as well.
The materials and tests were straightforward, and I was able to complete it in a few days. I can see how the script collection can readily be used for other addictions, or even other issues with slight modifications. I also gained some insight from watching the style of hypnosis used on the videos, and the techniques taught in this course are universal and can be used for most clients. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who works with or plans to help clients who wish to stop smoking.
