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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘Stopping Addictions: effective treatment and recovery’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm. * From 8.30am Registration (Tea and coffee served until 9.25am) * 9.30am How and why people develop addictions  * 11.00am Discussion over tea/coffee * 11.30am Dealing with resistance * 1.00pm Lunch (included) * 1.45pm How to create the optimal environment for positive change * 2.45pm Discussion over tea/coffee * 3.00pm Utilising the imagination * 4.00pm Day ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?

DESCRIPTION Addiction Psychology And Counselling Diploma An online course meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive insight into the multifaceted world of addiction. This course offers an in-depth exploration of the psychology underlying addictive behaviours, as well as modern counselling techniques that can assist in both the understanding and treatment of addiction. In our digital era, the convenience of online learning cannot be understated. The Addiction Psychology And Counselling Diploma delivers this benefit, allowing students from various backgrounds to access pivotal knowledge at their own pace, from the comfort of their homes. A thorough understanding of the roots of addiction is the bedrock upon which all addiction counselling stands. This course begins by navigating these complex roots, laying a solid foundation for students. With the provided knowledge, learners will be equipped to interpret the psychological triggers and subsequent manifestations of addiction. The next focus is the various psychological theories of addiction. Here, the course provides a broad spectrum of perspectives, from historical views to contemporary interpretations. By understanding these theories, students will be better placed to appreciate the complexities and nuances of addiction as a psychological phenomenon. A notable feature of the course is its emphasis on the stages of addiction. Recognising these stages is essential, not just for diagnosis but also for treatment planning. As addiction progresses, its impacts magnify, and a clear comprehension of each stage helps in devising suitable intervention strategies. But addiction doesn't always come alone. The course sheds light on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis. Many individuals suffering from addiction also grapple with other mental health disorders. Recognising this overlap and addressing both conditions can be crucial for successful recovery. Counselling is an indispensable tool in addiction treatment, and the Addiction Psychology And Counselling Diploma meticulously outlines the diverse counselling approaches for addiction. Each method has its merits, and by understanding these, students can tailor their approach to each unique individual they might support in the future. The course also recognises that medication can play a pivotal role in addiction treatment. By addressing the role of medication, students will gain a holistic perspective on treatment options, ensuring they are well-equipped to provide guidance and information on this aspect. Understanding the journey doesn't stop after immediate treatment. The course highlights the importance of aftercare and ongoing support. Addiction recovery is a long road, and ensuring sustained support can make all the difference in preventing relapses. Alternative approaches often bring added dimensions to treatment, and the Addiction Psychology And Counselling Diploma explores the role of holistic and alternative therapies in addiction counselling. These methods can offer fresh perspectives and tools that can be invaluable in certain cases. Family, often being at the heart of one's support system, plays a crucial role in addiction counselling. By studying family dynamics, students will appreciate the influence family can have, both positive and negative, in an individual's addiction journey. Lastly, the course underlines the significance of moving forward. By focusing on prevention and public awareness, students will be empowered to play a role in not just treatment, but also in shaping a future where addiction is better understood and addressed proactively. Enrolling in the Addiction Psychology And Counselling Diploma is not just an educational pursuit but a commitment to understanding one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
