A workshop titled 'Why We Get Stuck and How to Break Free' will be held at The Forum in Norwich on 2026-09-01 at 18:00. The event will focus on understanding and overcoming personal habits and patterns. Tickets cost £11.55 - £16.96.
Discover why lasting change is so difficult—and learn practical ways to break free from the habits and patterns that hold us back.
Have you ever wondered why some habits are so difficult to change, why willpower often lets us down, or why we can find ourselves repeating the same patterns despite our best intentions?
In this engaging and thought-provoking talk, hypnotherapist and speaker James Brittain explores how the unconscious mind influences our everyday thoughts, decisions and behaviour.
Using fascinating real-life examples, humour and audience participation, James explains why lasting change is rarely about trying harder. Instead, it comes from understanding how the mind works and learning how to work with it rather than against it.
During the evening you'll discover:
• Why we become stuck in unhelpful habits and patterns.
• Why willpower often isn't enough on its own.
• How the unconscious mind influences our choices.
• Practical ways to create lasting change.
• What hypnosis really is—and what it isn't.
Whether you're interested in personal development, psychology, or simply curious about how the mind works, you'll leave with fresh insights and practical ideas that you can apply to your own life.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the talk.
