Having just had my first smoking cessation client, I can honestly say that the How to Stop Anyone Smoking course has given me knowledge, confidence, and a skill set that I haven’t had before. The session flowed well and allowed me to incorporate many of the learnings from the course in a natural way.

I had been putting off treating clients who wanted to stop smoking, as I believed it was too complex a problem. The course was easy to learn and very helpful, I had no difficulty with it, and had been wondering how easy it would be to learn on the computer as opposed to being in a room with other students. It was straightforward.

For a short time of study with this course, I feel I have learned more than I did in two years of trying to understand what I would call the ‘bottom line’ of how this particular habit (smoking) can be understood, dealt with and eliminated. And I would highly recommend any courses from Uncommon Practitioners. Thank you both.
Adrian Byrne
I loved the layout of the course and the different ways of learning. There are some great ideas and mind shifts on how to talk and understand smokers. Any questions I had were answered quite quickly and Mark and Roger are always willing to help you. There was full support in this course and for me this course was well worth investment as I’m always picking up new insights the more I go over it.

I loved this course as it consolidated all the best re-frames out there to help clients stop smoking. The fact I can go back and review the material really helps strengthen my knowledge from what I’ve learned so far. Plus there is a lot of content and it will take time to fully assimilate it all. I feel much more confident speaking to potential clients about this topic now. Sessions are also more fun because I have so much more knowledge to draw from. Thanks Mark & Roger!
I think the Uncommon U learning platform is fantastic. I’ve signed on for Uncommon Practitioners TV and so far love the concept. Being able to view therapy sessions (repeatedly) is of great value to me. It’s already increasing my confidence in several ways. I look forward to seeing the client commentaries.

Resistance with two clients on the same day traumatised me to the point of wanting to throw both dear ladies off the couch so that I could clamber on with an ice pack on my troubled brow. However, I recovered enough after a strong black coffee to begin searching the internet for help and fortunately found Uncommon Knowledge. So glad I did, because amongst the many teachings (with the emphasis on conversational hypnosis), I found what I was looking for to overcome the resistance problem.
I changed my inductions to incorporate the Uncommon Knowledge style with immediate success. What I have learned on this course so far has opened my eyes to even greater success using these techniques, whereby, clients are treated with the greatest respect in the shortest time so that they go home with their feelings and control intact. Thank you all at Uncommon Knowledge for all your hard work, so pleased I found you!

Variety of methods used to enhance learning. Great content and structure. Marketing package was very useful to me. Quick response, caring attitude, professional customer support. Big thumbs up!
Thorough, highly recommend to any hypnotherapist choosing to increase their confidence and business.

Just imagine that you can discover the step-by-step lesser-known secrets to exponentially increase your success rate with smokers. Uncommon Knowledge reveals these secret methods and much more. Tremendous investment. Thank you

I really enjoyed the rewind course and all the extra information that was included. I liked the information presented and the general approach as well as the rewind technique. I am getting some results with the primal needs assessment and some of the other information presented along with the course. I think it will be helpful for a lot more than just clients who are appropriate for the rewind technique.

I already knew about this type of technique from my NLP days and had used it previously with mixed results, and at the end of the day I was not happy with it and discounted it as useful. One of my supervisees did your course but was reluctant to use it as she felt too unskilled. It piqued my interest to find out more about it. I am delighted that I learnt the technique and have had some effective results thus far with my clients.
One particular client’s issue was one of distrust of her partner and was complicated by other issues of his own that he was seeing a separate counsellor for. Despite our best efforts in counselling, she could not ‘shake off’ the old distrust that would get frequently triggered by his behaviour.
I decided that the Rewind Technique could be a suitable fit for her. She accessed three very different memories from where her feelings of distrust of men exhibiting certain types of behaviour had arisen from. We did the SUD’s at the beginning of the session but I forgot to do it at the end. However, her relief and demeanour at the end of the session were so markedly different and relaxed, it seemed superfluous. Next time.
I think it is safe, effective and respectful to the client. I was nervous that the 3 memories process would be perhaps too repetitious, however my clients have said they liked the predictability that is built up for them over the 3 memories, which I think builds a kind of mastery of confidence and hopeful expectation for their best results. I feel more skilled and supported in using this technique with my clients.
