About the Course

This CPD will allow you to gain an insight into the common addictions that can come into your practice, and how the Solution Focused approach can be used very effectively to support the client, giving you the confidence as a hypnotherapist to help your clients cope, move forward and change their behaviour.

You are almost guaranteed to encounter clients struggling with addiction or misuse issues within your practice. Over 250,000 people were in contact with the drugs and alcohol services from April 2020 to March 2021, according to a national report on adult substance misuse and treatment, published November 2021. Numbers not seeking help or seeking alternate provision are presumed to be much higher.

If you want to achieve long lasting success you’ll need to have a deeper, up to date understanding of these complex issues, and know how to use the solution focused approach to support these clients.

The focus will be on:

  • Difference between addiction, dependency and habits.
  • Learn about different addictions especially alcohol and drugs.
  • Understand addiction through the solution focused principles.
  • Understand how the brain changes with addictions.
  • How to create a positive mindset so clients can set realistic goals.
  • Strategies to help with The Initial Consultation and Miracle Question.
  • History and trends of addiction.

Reviews

Amy: The course was highly informative – both theoretically and practically. I feel confident enough to use it in my practice now – easily the best CPD I have attended. Thanks Carmen.

Catherine: Carmen delivered the content of this course using professional and personal experience. She had a clear understanding of the effect of both the person with the addiction and their loved ones who were supporting them. I also feel confident about the techniques and information she taught to give me the confidence to use and feel i have a better understanding of the subject. Thank you Carmen I would certainly recommend your course.

Katie: Great CPD. Lots of content including the neuroscience behind addiction and also how to apply during sessions. Carmen is an expert in this area and was very engaging. Thank you!

Fiona: The perfect balance of sharing knowledge and theory with how to apply it all in practice. The trainer’s personal experience enhanced the context and credibility of what she was teaching. It was paced well, with a variety of presentations, interactivity and media. I feel well-informed and confident now to treat clients with addictions.

Joanna: Excellent course, very practical in terms of putting it all in practice with our clients. Would highly recommend.

Jenny: Excellent course. A lot of these whole day CPDs can finish early…but Carmen went to the wire! Very detailed and informative. I learned A LOT from her and she was able to answer everyone’s questions throughout the day. I would highly recommend this course and/or this lecturer. Thank you.

Dawn: This was a very thorough and engaging course. The course material was not only easy to follow but was backed up with examples and open discussion of how to put into practice. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and feel confident in adding this to my practice moving forward.

Anna: A lot of specific knowledge, transferred in a pleasant way. I recommend this course.

Jo: A very informative day and especially like how Carmen explained how we put the information into practice. Good comprehensive notes given after so we didn’t need to be too distracted scribbling everything she said! Thank you.
