Can we really change patterns we've carried for decades?

Craig Meriwether is a clinical hypnotherapist, medical hypnosis specialist and subconscious transformation expert. In this conversation, Craig takes us beneath the conscious thoughts we know so well and into the patterns and beliefs that may have been quietly influencing us for years.

We talk about how the subconscious mind tries to keep us safe, why an old response that once protected us may no longer serve us, and why understanding a behaviour isn't always enough to change it.

Craig also clears up some of the myths surrounding hypnosis—no clucking chickens required—and explains why hypnosis is about participation rather than surrendering control.

Especially relevant for those of us creating life after 60, we explore regret: the marriage that didn't work, the career left behind, the opportunity not taken, the dream postponed. The past may be part of our story, but does it have to determine what happens next?

We also discuss the importance of properly trained hypnotherapists, what to look for before working with one, and why age doesn't put an expiry date on our ability to learn, change and grow.

Because perhaps "this is just who I am" deserves another look.
