Quitting smoking is one of the most powerful decisions a person can make for their health — yet for many, it feels like an uphill battle. In this informative and empowering talk, John Black explains why hypnosis has become one of the most effective tools for stopping smoking and how it works at a deeper psychological level than traditional approaches.
Rather than focusing solely on nicotine addiction, John explores the powerful subconscious associations that keep the habit in place — stress relief, routine, identity, and emotional comfort. He explains how smoking is often less about physical dependency and more about automatic patterns stored in the subconscious mind. Through hypnotherapy, these patterns can be safely and effectively reprogrammed.
Drawing on years of clinical experience, John demystifies hypnosis, addressing common myths while outlining the science behind behavioural change. Attendees will gain insight into why willpower alone often fails and how shifting subconscious beliefs can dramatically reduce cravings and internal conflict.
This talk offers clarity, reassurance, and hope for anyone considering quitting or supporting someone who is. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how hypnosis works — and why lasting freedom from smoking is more achievable than they may think.
