Smoking Cessation Using Anchors By Sharon Boles Patient Health History Smoking patient enjoys two packs a day, over a thirty year stretch. The goal here is to achieve smoking cessation. Patient claims to have halitosis and emphysema. He chain smokes, and he desperately wants to stop his smoking habit. He smokes, causing a productive cough, and he has tried everything including patches, Nicotrol gum. He has a shortage of breath and a lack of energy. Treatment Plan using the Client's Meta Program and Intervention Pattern Distortions (Mind reading) I can't quit!!
Response How do you know? Prediction I guess not. There is no such word as can't! Generalizations (Universal Qualifiers) Everyone I know smokes Response Everyone? Prediction I guess just where I work. Deletions Comparative Deletions I have more or less tried everything. Response More or less everything? Prediction I guess you are right. How about hypnosis? This would be a technique
that could help me quit. Part Two: Treatment
Doing five anchors to the most energetic and healthy that he has ever been
in his life. Then doing five anchors to visualize how people are reacting to him socially, and realizing other times in his life
where he felt that cigarette smoking could be affecting his lungs, throat and other organs. Then collapsing all anchors so the
patient no longer feels good about smoking. Then the second part. would be to future pace five anchors were he would feel
healthy, energetic with positive frames as a non smoker. Then there would be five anchors future pacing him into a hospital
with various diseases if he continued his smoking habit. Anchors are then collapsed giving the patient positive
feelings of non smoking and negative feelings if he were to continue to smoke. The patient has such visualizations
and a vivid imagination so that he felt smoking was not something he chose to continue. Ie: smoking cessation was accomplished. |
