For many people, alcohol becomes woven into daily routines, social identity, and stress relief — making moderation feel far more challenging than expected. In this thought-provoking talk, John Black explores the psychological patterns that underpin drinking habits and explains how lasting change begins not with restriction, but with mindset.
Drawing on his expertise in therapy, hypnotherapy and behavioural science, John examines how subconscious beliefs, emotional triggers, and learned associations influence our relationship with alcohol. He explains why willpower often fluctuates and how stress, environment, and social cues can quietly reinforce unwanted patterns. Rather than focusing on guilt or deprivation, this talk centres on awareness, empowerment, and practical mental strategies.
Participants will gain insight into how identity, habit loops, and emotional regulation shape drinking behaviour. John shares techniques to reduce cravings, build healthier coping mechanisms, and create sustainable moderation without internal conflict. By reshaping the subconscious narrative around alcohol, individuals can move from reactive patterns to intentional choices.
This session offers a balanced and supportive approach for anyone seeking greater control, clarity, and confidence in their relationship with alcohol — helping attendees shift from automatic behaviour to mindful decision-making and long-term wellbeing.
