 Hypnosis Skills for Every Therapist: Ending the Cycle of Addiction with Richard Nongard, LMFT

In this one-day workshop you will learn from one of the nation’s foremost addictions experts methods for ending the cycle of addiction, stopping compulsive behavior and control physical withdrawal. Even if you have n experience using hypnosis, you can integrate these hypnotic methods into traditional counseling and treatment.

Addiction is effectively halted using methods of clinical hypnosis. They say "nicotine is as addictive as heroin" and the research shows hypnosis is one of the most effective treatments for nicotine dependency. One has to wonder then why hypnosis is not more widely used in the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction, and in the addiction to food, gambling and other addictions?
