Having taught management and marketing for 25+ years, I was impressed by the course structure and pleased by its beautiful approach. I LOVED it, and it really works. The multimedia approach kept my interest throughout. I am enjoying working with my clients more, as I have eliminated my role as the “heavy.” I have used the idea of a lousy tenant and abusive partner to great effect.

I just loved the positivity of the whole course, as I have for the last 5 years always used negative suggestions to my clients. Not Good… It was great to learn especially when you finished the course and did the test then waited anxiously for the results then found that you could go onto the next lesson…That was my greatest expectation… about the course…Thanks Heaps…

The course covered everything I needed to feel that I could confidently nail a quit smoking hypnotherapy session. I love the use of metaphor and emphasis on building rapport as such an effective therapeutic skill. I had a smoker quit in one session and refer a friend – couldn’t be happier.
Grace Jones
A very thorough and professionally presented course. The content was excellent and it was great that there were separate downloads for marketing! I liked the modular approach to the course – I was able to split my learning up to fit into the time available. It was great too to have different elements to the learning, watching client videos, listening to discussions and being able to read notes too made it a great and accessible course, catering for various learning preferences.

My results when I first started working with smokers who wanted to stop were hit and miss. After taking the course my approach changed and now I can Stop Anyone Smoking. I even worked with a married couple, each one at a different time on the same day, and both stopped.

Before this course, I had quit accepting smokers because very few quit, and there was so much resistance. But both smokers who have come to me since this course quit easily after one session with no resistance, and found it easier than they could imagine. I got a referral from my doctor before I even finished the course, so I had to schedule him far enough out to finish the course and review it all!
The first is in his mid-70’s and had smoked for over 50 years. He had tried hypnotherapy twice before with no luck, but his doctor referred him to me. He has emphysema and doubted he could quit, but he had to try something. He quit easily in one session and just passed 6 weeks smoke free. His doc says he is like a new man now and raved about me. So I know I will get more referrals from this doc.
The second has smoked for over 25 years, never going even a whole day without tobacco in some form or another. He also quit in one session and has just passed two weeks smoke free. As a bonus, he was having insomnia and nightmares, which have stopped due to some post-hypnotic suggestions I threw in. He has been posting his progress on Facebook and is so proud of himself.
I did employ the “rebel against the tobacco companies” strategy before, but just in passing. Now it is the heart of the session. Siding with the smoker more, and using the crossroads and mountain of cigarettes analogies is powerful too. I live in the mountains, so I give them the choice between the mountain of cigarettes or the ability to hike and enjoy our beautiful mountain scenery. As a result, both clients told me they suddenly want to spend time outdoors more (even though it is cold!). I have them tell me what their heart and their lungs would say, and what their adult self would say to the kid about to smoke for the first time. Boy, they use harsher words than I ever would, and it is coming directly from them.
The course was very user-friendly and easy to follow. I was dubious about the effectiveness of online hypnotherapy courses, and whether people could easily quit in one session, but this was well-written, easy to follow, and so far, the results have been just as promised. I appreciate the session for the therapist to have confidence, and I feel it has really helped during my consultations to have confidence in selling the session. Now I no longer need it, as I can see the results for myself! Smoking cessation has gone from being my least favorite session to my favorite, because the results are quick, tangible and, as you say, you literally save lives. It is incredible to watch the clients go from coming in scared and doubtful, to leaving so elated and excited for the future. The marketing materials are very well produced too. You have thought of everything! I would advise people to buy the hard copy too. It was useful to just review the highlights quickly before a session, especially at first and if time passes since the last smoker.

As a beginning hypnotist I can only highly recommend this course and for 3 reasons. First, the background about smoking habits and how to separate the person from the cigarette. Two, in real sessions you can see how to integrate this knowledge in the hypnosis session with the client. And three, which was for me the most important one: self confidence to go out, advertise myself and just do it, with amazing results!
I live in Egypt and I have a man cleaning our house, an Egyptian with basic knowledge of English. He smoked two packs a day and didn’t particularly want to smoke. But I couldn’t see him give his money and life away to cigarettes anymore, he is such a hardworking person who does everything to get his children a better education and chance in life. So I ‘forced’ him to be my first client/guinea pig. And to his big astonishment (and mine as well to be honest) he left my house as a happy relaxed non-smoker!

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing all the courses and this one was just as brilliant as all the others.
I love all the formats in the way you teach as it kept me interested and motivated. I really liked the idea of learning how to be there for the client and how not to take resistance or relapses personally.
Understanding the importance of reframing and metaphors have been real ‘aha’ moments for me too. As always (through all the courses) I am beginning to truly see and understand the vital importance of having our basic needs being met also.
It is empowering for me to have and to know how to use these skills as I know from now on that I will be a much better therapist because of them. Thank you both so much :-)

I’d just like to say how helpful I found the course when I had my client last Thursday – it really was a difference of night and day from the old approach I was using to help clients to stop smoking.
I felt that I knew how to go about all aspects of the session – my client really seemed to benefit from it and I found the whole experience enjoyable.
Prior to doing your course, I actually dreaded getting a ‘stop smoking’ call, as I felt ill-prepared and always found myself in a battle of wits with the client (which the client always won!)
Tessa
I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the course. I found it very comprehensive, with great resources and I was very impressed, I guess not what I expected from an on-line course.
It has really added to my confidence in dealing with future smoking clients, giving me a clearer idea of what to do and techniques to try so thank you.
