You know you should change.

So why haven't you?

Because knowing isn't enough. Your conscious mind only controls about 5% of your daily thoughts and behaviours.

The other 95%? That's running on autopilot in your subconscious.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸:

You arrive safely.
But you can't recall most of the journey.

That's your subconscious at work-managing complex tasks without conscious thought.

This is brilliant for efficiency.

But problematic when that same autopilot stores limiting beliefs, old emotional patterns, and habits you've been trying to break for years.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸:

→ They use willpower (conscious mind) to fight subconscious programming
→ It's like trying to change the entire filing system whilst the office is running at full speed
→ Exhausting. And usually temporary.

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

It creates a focused state of attention-similar to being absorbed in a good book or that drowsy feeling before sleep.

In this state, the analytical mind quietens down.

This allows us to work directly with the subconscious, accessing stored emotional memories and patterns. We can then reprocess them and create new neural pathways through guided imagery and focused suggestion.

I've worked with clients in my Illawarra clinic carrying years of anger, anxiety, and self-sabotaging behaviours.

When we address the subconscious directly, change happens faster and lasts longer.

Not because hypnotherapy is magic.

Because we're finally working with the part of your mind that's actually running the show.

What patterns have you tried to change with willpower alone?

How did that work out?

23/11/2025

You're exhausted. But the moment your head hits the pillow, your mind switches on.

It's not random. And it's not just stress.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:

When anxiety or chronic stress becomes your baseline, your nervous system gets stuck in threat mode.
Your sympathetic system stays activated when it should be winding down.

Your body literally can't tell the difference between a looming deadline and a physical danger.

So at bedtime, when everything finally goes quiet, your mind does what it's been trained to do:
Scan for threats.
Plan.
Problem-solve.
Replay conversations.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗶𝗮.

You can't think your way out of a subconscious survival pattern.

→ Your analytical mind says "just relax"
→ Your subconscious says "but we're not safe yet"

After 15 years of clinical practice, I've seen this loop countless times.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:

Hypnotherapy helps by speaking directly to the subconscious mind, bypassing that analytical layer that keeps you spinning.

We use body-sensory cues to signal safety to your nervous system.
For clients carrying trauma, we reprocess stored emotional memories that keep the threat response active.

It's about creating new neural pathways, not forcing yourself to "just sleep better."

Your nervous system learns a different response.
The loop breaks.

If you'd like a self-hypnosis technique to begin tonight, comment 'Sleep' and I'll send you one.

You've been hypnotising yourself all day. You just didn't realise it.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. We enter these alternate states multiple times daily.

When you wash your hair, brush your teeth, tie your shoelaces. Your conscious mind drifts to the day ahead, yesterday's difficult conversation, weekend plans. Meanwhile, your subconscious runs the program.

You're aware, but not aware. That's hypnosis.

Here's what makes this fascinating:

→ Patterns form through repetition
→ Hypnotherapy accelerates pattern change by engaging all your senses
→ Your subconscious is both your emotional and habitual brain
→ It doesn't distinguish between fact and fiction

When you engage imagery, emotions and feelings together, you create new neural pathways. That's not theory. That's neuroscience.

The simplest tool? A 10-second morning visualisation.

The moment you wake, before opening your eyes, you're in alpha state. Perfect for reprogramming.

Think about your goal. See it through your eyes as if it's already achieved. Feel it. Live it. Perhaps have a cheeky smile knowing it's only a matter of time for the outside world to catch up to your inside world.

Ten seconds. That's all it takes to start building new neural pathways.

Your subconscious doesn't need convincing. It needs clear, emotionally connected instructions.

Your subconscious is already listening. What will you tell it tomorrow morning?

16/11/2025

Alcohol doesn't just affect the person holding the glass.

It ripples outward.

Partners carry the emotional weight. Children sense the tension. Friends watch their mate slowly change. Employers notice the declining performance.

These ripples don't come from deliberate harm. They come from someone who's stuck, often ashamed, and unsure where to turn.

I've seen this pattern repeatedly in 15 years of clinical practice. The problem isn't willpower. It's the subconscious patterns driving the behaviour. The emotional triggers. The habits wired so deep that conscious effort alone can't shift them.

Clinical hypnotherapy works differently because it addresses what's happening beneath the surface:

→ The cravings that feel impossible to control
→ The emotional patterns keeping someone stuck
→ The part of themselves they thought they'd lost

No judgement. No blame. Just a calm, safe process that helps people reclaim their choices.

If someone in your life is struggling with alcohol, you might feel helpless. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is offer a hand.

A Healthy Hypnosis gift voucher isn't just a present. It's a fresh start. A pathway back to health. A chance to rediscover confidence, reconnect with family, and wake up feeling proud again.

Alcohol doesn't define a person. Their choices moving forward do.

If you or someone you care about needs help breaking free from alcohol, simply call my Woonona office on 0408-880-606. Healing begins with a single step. I look forward to being of service, warmly Michael

She hadn't been to a doctor in 8 years.

The thought of getting a Pap smear terrified her.

This is what medical phobias look like in real life.

Not dramatic panic attacks on TV.
Just quiet avoidance.
Years of skipping necessary health checks.

I've worked with clients who couldn't get blood tests for diabetes monitoring. Others who avoided vaccinations despite chronic health conditions. People who knew they needed these procedures but physically couldn't bring themselves to attend.

The fear wasn't logical.
It was stored in the subconscious.

Here's what happens in clinical hypnotherapy:

→ We access the subconscious patterns driving the phobic response
→ We reprocess the emotional memory attached to medical procedures
→ We create new neural pathways that support calm, controlled responses

After three sessions, most clients can attend appointments they've avoided for years.

They get the Pap smear.
The blood test.
The pelvic exam.

Not because they've suddenly become "brave."

Because we've addressed the subconscious programming that was creating the fear response in the first place.

This is how clinical hypnotherapy creates real-world health outcomes.

It's not about willpower.
It's about working with your mind, not against it.

Your fear doesn't define what's possible for you.

Your brain doesn't know the difference between a vivid mental image and reality.

This is why guided visualisation is so effective in hypnotherapy.

During a session, when the analytical mind relaxes, I guide clients through detailed mental scenarios that reinforce the change they want to create.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘄𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲:

→ Breathing freely without cravings
→ Handling stress in healthier ways
→ Living confidently as a non-smoker

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗲:

Calm responses to triggering situations.
Confidence instead of panic.

The subconscious mind absorbs these images as real experiences, creating new neural pathways that make the desired behaviour feel natural rather than forced.

This is why willpower alone struggles-you're fighting embedded patterns.

Guided visualisation works with your mind, addressing the subconscious directly.

It's not just imagination.
It's a structured, evidence-based technique that helps clients mentally rehearse their way to lasting change.

After 15 years in clinical practice, I've seen this approach create shifts that willpower couldn't touch.

Not through force.
Through collaboration with the part of your mind that's running the programme.

Curious about how this approach could work for you?

The biggest lie about quitting? That you need superhuman willpower.

After 15 years in clinical practice helping people quit ci******es, v**es, and cannabis, I've heard every myth imaginable. These beliefs don't just hold people back. They actively sabotage their success.

Here are the 5 myths I debunk most often:

Myth 1: "I'll just switch to va**ng, then quit later."
You're not quitting. You're trading one ni****ne delivery system for another. The subconscious patterns that drive the habit? Still there. Still active. Still waiting.

Myth 2: "I need massive willpower to quit."
This sets you up to fail before you even start. Willpower is a conscious effort fighting against subconscious programming. That's why people feel like they're battling themselves constantly. Clinical hypnotherapy works because it addresses those subconscious patterns directly.

Myth 3: "Cannabis is harmless, so quitting won't affect me."
The psychological habit is powerful regardless of the substance. Your brain has built neural pathways around when, where, and why you use. Those patterns don't disappear just because something is "natural."

Myth 4: "I'll gain heaps of weight if I quit."
This fear stops so many people. The truth? A comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle changes prevents this. It's about addressing the whole pattern, not just removing the substance.

Myth 5: "I've failed before, so I'll never succeed."
Relapse is often part of the recovery process, not proof of permanent failure. That's why I offer lifetime support. Your timeline isn't my timeline.

Which myth have you believed? Type the number and I'll give you the truth behind it, and one action you can take today. Call my Woonona office on 0408-880-606. I look forward to being of service, warmly Michael

You're not saving money on black market ci******es or cheap v**es.

You're borrowing against your future.

That $15 v**e feels like a win compared to $50 for legal ci******es. The black market pack at $20 seems smart when the taxed ones are $40.

But here's what that "discount" actually costs you:

→ Your lung capacity decreasing month by month
→ Medical bills that dwarf what you'd ever spend on legitimate products
→ Energy you'll never get back
→ Years you can't buy back at any price

In my 15 years of clinical practice helping people quit smoking, va**ng, and cannabis, I've worked with countless clients who thought they were being financially savvy. They weren't calculating the real ledger.

The subconscious mind is brilliant at justifying short-term relief. It whispers: "You're saving money. You're being clever. You deserve this."

What it doesn't calculate is the compound interest of health decline. The unregulated chemicals in black market products. The unknown substances in cheap v**es. The stress on your body that accumulates silently until it screams.

Clinical hypnotherapy works because it addresses these subconscious patterns. It helps your mind recalculate the true cost. Not through willpower or shame, but by working with the deeper patterns that keep you stuck.

It's never too late to quit.

Your future self is worth more than short-term savings. If you're ready to break free from ci******es, v**es, or cannabis 4Good, let's talk about what lasting change actually looks like. With lifetime support, you're not doing this alone!

A client told me: "I switched from ci******es to va**ng thinking I'd quit. Five years later, I'm still addicted."

Sound familiar?

Here's what most people don't realise about ci******es, v**es, and cannabis:

Your subconscious doesn't care which one you're using. It's hooked on the pattern.

The ritual. The hand-to-mouth movement. The inhalation. The social cues. The pause in your day.

These psychological triggers are nearly identical whether you're smoking, va**ng, or using cannabis.

That's why switching substances rarely works. You're just transferring the same pattern!

But here's where it gets interesting - there are crucial differences too:

Ni****ne creates different physical dependencies than THC. Usage patterns vary (chain va**ng vs social smoking vs evening cannabis use). The psychological stories we tell ourselves differ.

In my 15 years of clinical practice, I've learned that effective treatment must address both the similarities and the differences.

That's where clinical hypnotherapy and NLP come in!

For each client, I customise the approach: different metaphors for different substances, parts negotiation adapted to your specific triggers, timeline work that addresses your unique history.

Last year, I worked with someone who'd v**ed for six years. Tried everything. Nothing stuck.

Today? Twelve months completely free!

The difference wasn't willpower. It was working with the subconscious mind directly.

Because your analytical mind knows you should quit. But your subconscious is running the show.

Comment below which habit you're dealing with - cigarette, v**e, or cannabis - and I'll share one tailored tip for your specific situation. I look forward to being of service, warmly Michael

02/11/2025

I've been helping people quit smoking for 15 years now, and I can tell you this: willpower alone fails 95% of the time.

Not because people are weak. Not because they lack discipline. But because willpower was never designed to fight what's happening in your subconscious mind!

After 15 years as a Clinical Hypnotherapist working with cigarette, cannabis, and va**ng addictions, I see the same pattern over and over:

The habit loop runs on autopilot in your subconscious.

→ Trigger: Stress hits, boredom creeps in, morning coffee brews
→ Behaviour: Hand reaches for cigarette, v**e, joint
→ Reward: Brief relief, familiar comfort, temporary escape

Your conscious mind says "I want to quit."
Your subconscious says "But this is how we cope."

Guess which one wins every time?

Willpower only engages the conscious mind. But habits live deep in the subconscious, where automatic responses and emotional triggers override logic! This is why people quit for days, weeks, even months, then find themselves right back where they started.

Clinical Hypnotherapy and NLP work differently because they interrupt the loop at the subconscious level. They rewire the automatic responses and build new neural pathways that don't need the substance!

This isn't a one-session-and-you're-on-your-own approach. I provide lifetime support, FREE, because breaking free from addiction shouldn't have an expiry date!

If you've tried to quit before and found yourself back at the v**e or lighting up again, let's have a conversation.

Drop a 'Yes' below and I'll send you a free mini-guide on why your brain keeps pulling you back. Simple!

Call 0408 880 606 and ask for Michael.
