Summary: Do you have an addiction that is impacting your relationship with people you care most about? Is it impacting your work and finances? Is it affecting your physical and mental health? Why do people do things that they don't want to do? Is it a lack of impulse control? Is it related to self-worth? Is it a force of habit? Has the addiction become part of their identity? Today we are joined at SuperDad HQ by my good friend Jeremy Walker. He is a qualified hypnotherapist and Demartini Method expert who has worked tirelessly to support many of our SuperDads Online members since it all began back in 2016. Jeremy has helped thousands of people over the years through his private practice on the Northside of Brisbane. He has just released a new book sharing his wisdom and experience, aptly titled, Freedom From Addictions - A Hypnotherapists Guide To Overcoming Addictions and Compulsions.
