Lecturer: Michael Joseph

The reluctance of patients to recommend others to their therapist is legendary. When a practicing hypnotherapist hears those magic words: "I have been recommended to you by..." it means that the therapist has been successful and that the patient was confident enough to refer others to him/her.

However, the majority of those who do refer are EX-SMOKERS and they also recommend people with problems other than smoking. Therefore, practitioners who aim to make a living out of hypnotherapy need to pay particular attention to their Stop Smoking methods.

The LCCH has for many years been developing a ONE SESSION method to help people kick the habit. The technique employs traditional hypnosis, is easy to learn (the full 'Stop Smoking' script is provided), enjoys an excellent success rate, and can easily be adopted for group sessions that can be 'sold' to industry.

Members of the public usually name 'stop smoking' as the number one item hypnotherapy could help them with. Clients, however, often end up with practitioners who employ 'indirect hypnosis' and other similar techniques - very useful in psychotherapy - but which do not match the client's expectations. (They expect to be hypnotised and be 'told' to stop.) The aim of this Masterclass is to enhance public awareness of hypnotherapy through success in your consulting room.

But this master-class is very much more than an in-depth focus on smoking cessation through clinical hypnosis. Michael brings decades of experience to this Materclass. He is the originator of the one session stop smoking method.

Along with many very practical applications, you will hear stories about the practice of clinical hypnosis. Michael will share with you experiences which have shaped his own application and techniques. It is an opportunity to learn from the founder of the LCCH, to observe his methods and to benefit from his wealth of experience as a practitioner.
