Episode Details

Are you tired of the "all or nothing" approach to alcohol? Most people don't want to quit drinking entirely—they just want to be back in the driver's seat.

In this episode of The Guiding Voice, world-renowned clinical hypnotherapist Georgia Foster reveals why willpower isn't the answer and how your "inner critic" is actually the one pouring your next glass. We dive deep into the science of habit-breaking, the "future technique" for instant calm, and how high-performers can reduce alcohol intake without shame or labels.

In this video, you’ll learn:

The "Space Between Thoughts" technique to stop a craving.

Why your brain defaults to drinking when you’re stressed.

The difference between a "perfectionist" and a "pleaser" drinker.

How to have difficult conversations without needing "liquid courage."
