Welcome to Talk Time with me, Meredith McCarthy – Clinical Hypnotherapist and founder of the New Zealand Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy (NZACH).
In this special episode for World Smoke Free Day (31 May), I share my personal journey of how I quit smoking 40 cigarettes a day and stayed smoke-free for decades. As a clinical hypnotherapist, I now help others break free from smoking using the power of the mind.
You’ll learn:
✨ How hypnotherapy helps rewire addiction patterns
✨ The mindset shifts that supported my transformation
✨ Why belief systems matter in breaking free
✨ A simple mantra and breathing ritual I used daily
✨ How metaphor and visualisation can empower healing
✨ Tips for relapse prevention and setting a quit date
Whether you're a smoker looking to quit, a loved one wanting to support someone, or you're simply curious about hypnotherapy, this episode will inspire you to take that first step toward freedom.
