Mindfulness for Smokers will help you stop smoking. We know that smoking is notoriously difficult to stop! Yet many smokers would love to quit, if only they knew how! If this sounds like you, try Mindfulness for Smokers.
Course Details
Mindfulness for Smokers is a specially developed Mindfulness course with extra information about smoking. You will learn valuable skills to manage reactivity and withdrawal. Then you will have more control over what you do.
As well, you will learn other important skills, like assertiveness and dealing with difficult situations. We find that it is often when we are not managing things well that we turn to smoking. At first it ‘relieves’ the stress. But then it becomes the cause of stress and lots of other types of ill health.
The course lasts for 10-weeks, of 2-2.5 hour sessions, depending on numbers. Each week, there is feedback, smoking assessments and diaries to chart your progress. You’ll find the group support keeps you motivated and on track.
There is a brief pre-course interview to inform you about the course and make sure it is right for you. In addition, you receive a 1-1 session during the course. You can also arrange more 1-1 sessions if you need extra support. To guide your Mindfulness practice, you receive comprehensive notes and 2 CDs or access to on-line recordings. And you commit to attending all sessions and practicing Mindfulness meditation for 30-minutes twice daily during the course.
Furthermore, you learn about relapse prevention so you can keep on target in the future. Keeping up your practice after the course is finished will help you maintain your gains. Additional group or individual sessions following the course can be arranged. A monthly follow-up and periodic follow-up sessions are recommended.
Course Delivery
Mindfulness for Smokers can be delivered to workplaces or groups, such as community or youth groups, small private groups, and individuals.
