FIVE STEPS TO RELIEF

Nicotine craving is gone/ Treatment is Concluded.

For data collection purposes, attempts will be made to follow up (via e-mail, 'snail mail' or telephone) with each client at six and 12 months following the conclusion of treatment sessions. 

THE TREATMENT

The cornerstone of each treatment plan is the integrated use of EMDRÒ (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).  EMDRÒ is a method of (internal) accelerated information processing which significantly reduces the time normally expected to relieve the effects to relieve the lingering emotional effects of nicotine dependence.  Originally utilized in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the scope of application to the treatment of other problems has widened in recent years.  The clinical experience of myself and many other EMDR-utilizing clinicians has demonstrated that persons who struggle with issues involving (a.) Guilt, (b.) Helplessness, (c.) Negative Self-Esteem (or Worth) and (d.) Lack of Safety, may benefit from this treatment approach.

 We will work together to identify and eliminate the emotionally-based 'triggers' that stimulate the urge to Smoke, Chew or Dip.
