Working with others in the field of habits and addiction?

Yvonne is at the forefront of Addiction Hypnotherapy with studies in Biopsychology and Addiction Science from the University of Adelaide. A large part of her work is with recovering addicts. She is a motivational speaker on the topic of Addiction at rehab centres and schools. Her contribution to this workshop is immense because she spent over ten years sifting through reams of research and other published articles on addiction. A lot of the information on the internet is utterly misleading and ill-informed but one does still find many well-considered papers, which are not that well-known to the public. Yvonne brings this evidence-based fact and insight to the workshops. She teaches one how the brain adjusts to addictive behaviour and substances. She knows that as a therapist, one can only formulate a reliable approach to addiction once one has a workable, basic scientific knowledge of the neuroscience that underpins it.
