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.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be more prone to addiction than others? While addiction can affect anyone, certain individuals may have a higher susceptibility due to their personality traits and characteristics. This concept is often referred to as an addictive personality. While the term "addictive personality" may sound simple, it is important to understand that it is not a diagnosis or a definitive label. Instead, it is a set of traits and behaviours that may increase the risk of addiction. The concept of addiction and addictive behaviour has a rich and complex history deeply intertwined with human civilisation. From ancient times to our modern understanding, the evolution of addiction has been shaped by cultural, medical, and scientific developments.
