Main description:

As any smoking cessation therapist knows, smokers can be infinitely creative in finding ways to keep smoking; unbelievably argumentative in their drive to protect their addiction; astonishingly self-defeating in their defence of their habit. So when helping smokers quit, the therapist needs to be artful and creative, and avoid the usual traps of attempting to argue or scare smokers out of their habit. This new cessation system from Uncommon Knowledge will revolutionise the way you treat smokers, and ensure you never get stuck in a battle of wills again.
The system includes: * Five one-hour audio lectures (transcripts also included), plus lecture summary notes * Our complete self-help smoking cessation system '10-steps to be a non-smoker', including 10 audios and 10 scripts * Live smoking cessation videos with perhaps the trickiest smoker you've ever seen * Mind-setter mp3 to use before your smoking client arrives to get yourself in precisely the right frame of mind * Psychology audio insights "Beating addictions and smoking with hypnosis" and "How to deal with resistance" * Online tests to qualify for your course completion certificate * Private online forum for course support Treating smoking in this way means you can enjoy the process and your client can too. And a happy non-smoker is one who stays that way.
