Working With Addictions

​

Addiction is a common problem, and despite of there being help available, it is not always that easy to access. There are countless people who, for various reasons, have no control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it is harmful for them.

Typically addiction is most commonly associated with gambling, drugs and alcohol, but it is possible to be addicted to various other things such as porn, shopping, internet, solvents.

​

There are many reasons for people becoming addicted, including the way substances affect the way people feel and the "highs" that gamblers get after a win, but addiction is in essence a illness that is caused by a combination of factors. It is a crushing condition that consumes not only the individuals in question, but also their family and relationships.

​

This course is intended for hypnotherapists to understand:

​​

• substance addiction, gambling, porn, sex

• how to work with addictions and their partner/family

• stages of change

• different stages of quitting

• motivational interviewing

It should be noted, that hypnotherapy is often used as a adjunct to other sources of support and therefore it hypnotherapists work with other health professionals supporting addiction recovery.
