What is the theory behind this Smoking Cessation Group Worksheet?
Research has shown group behavioral therapy to be more efficient than individual therapy for helping people quit their smoking habit. Smoking, like other addictions, is detrimental to one’s physical and mental wellbeing in the long run. Structured group interventions for smoking cessation help individuals learn behavioral strategies to overcome their addiction in a supportive group environment where they can also learn from the experiences of others in a similar position as them.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help individuals explore their own and each other’s motivations for deciding to quit smoking. Every individual’s unique motivations can serve to inspire others to continue on this journey. This worksheet will help remind them of their own motivations to quit as well as that of others throughout the therapy sessions.
How to use the worksheet?
This worksheet can be used in the initial stages of group therapy sessions for smoking cessation. After thorough discussions on why motivation matters in behavioral change, instruct each individual to write down their personal motivations to quit smoking and share with others. If others’ motivations inspire them they can also write those down.
