What is MiCBT for Smokers?
MiCBT for Smokers is a Small Group MiCBT course that focuses on smoking, for people who genuinely want to quit. 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 MiCBT for Smokers. To know about MiCBT, see MiCBT.
MiCBT teaches you skills of Mindfulness meditation together with Cognitive Therapy. Together, these skills will help you to manage reactivity and withdrawal symptoms. The course also teaches 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. Before you know it, things are getting worse instead of better!
Course Details
MiCBT for Smokers consists of 9-weekly 2-hour sessions. A brief pre-course interview informs you about the course and checks that it is right for you. Each participant receives a 1-1 session during the course. (with more available if needed). Sessions consist of feedback and new learning. Group support helps to keep you motivated and on track. To guide your Mindfulness practice, you receive a comprehensive workbook and downloadable recordings. Keeping up your practice after the course finishes will help you to maintain your gains.
