The Fire Extinguisher Technique - A Innovative Model of Relapse Prevention

Course overview

The Fire Extinguisher is a revolutionary model of relapse prevention for addiction and compulsive disorders which uses the patient's own positive and negative motivations associated with their actual pleasurable and painful experiences to make their recovery decisions. This model utilizes neurolinguistic programming (NPL) and hypnotic suggestions to reinforce its effectiveness. By subconsciously activating the client's intrinsic motivation to avoid painful and negative consequences, the probability that the client will remember and use the technique is greatly enhanced. The Fire Extinguisher model has already helped hundreds of patients to avoid relapse and protect their fragile and sometimes tenuous commitment to abstinence. With the fire extinguisher tool in their mind and in their pocket, clients have a fighting chance to put out the fire when the flames get higher.
