Bad habits can feel impossible to break — especially when we think we’ve tried everything. In this transformative talk, John Black explores how habits are not just behaviours but deeply rooted patterns in the subconscious mind. He explains why traditional “willpower-only” approaches often fail, and how lasting change comes from addressing the underlying automatic processes that drive behaviour.
Drawing on his extensive experience in hypnotherapy and mind-body psychology, John will demystify how habits form, how they’re stored beneath conscious awareness, and how subtle shifts in internal wiring can create powerful, lasting change. Participants will gain a clear yet compassionate understanding of how the subconscious influences daily actions — from procrastination and emotional eating to negative self-talk and self-sabotage.
Through engaging examples and practical strategies, John introduces techniques to interrupt unhelpful loops and replace them with healthier, goal-aligned patterns. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to consciously retrain their minds, strengthen positive neural pathways, and make progress with less internal resistance.
