186: Reducing Alcohol Intake w/ Georgia Foster

On the Reclamation Project today, Julianne chats with Georgia Foster, a clinical hypnotherapist and voice dialogue trainer. She is known as the “Alcohol Reduction Expert” in the UK and Australia. Georgia has written many books and developed a number of online self help programs about self esteem, anxiety, emotional overeating, and drinking. 

 

Georgia has been featured regularly in the media such as Good Housekeeping, Psychologies Magazine, The Times Newspaper, The Morning Show, and more regarding her unique and highly successful approach and is a regular speaker on the power of the mind. 

 

A big topic of today’s episode is that things don't have to be black and white. If you’re an OG follower of this podcast, you know that it was once called the Excellence Over Perfection podcast. When Julianne discussed perfection, she often referenced the black-and-white perfectionist mindset, and this is something that Georgia applies to drinking - you don’t have to go totally sober, but you do have the power to shift the relationship you have with alcohol.

 

Top takeaways from the episode:

• Learning to manage your inner critic
• Holding your own in a drinking society
• Being aware of the habits your brain forms associated with alcohol
• Remembering that there’s nothing inherently wrong with you
• A dopamine boost before your first drink is important

 

Moments:

4:48 - Georgia’s journey and inspiration for her work

10:20 - The inner critic drives us to drink

12:30 - We live in a drinking society

14:33 - Our minds work on pure habit

19:09 - Inner critic diary: The disowned self

21:23 - Get the endorphins going

22:32 - The perfectionist: The all-or-nothing drinker

26:00 - The pleaser: Opposite of the perfectionist

30:25 - Hypnosis to unify both conscious and subconscious mind

 

Quotes:

 

“A lot of people don’t want to talk about it, but I’m saying we need to talk about it because there’s nothing wrong with you or this sort of thinking. It’s just a bad habit, at the end of the day.
