Cormac Colleran

Conference Topic

Unlocking the Subconscious Code of Addiction

​

In this presentation, Cormac Colleran shares his groundbreaking, field-tested approach to treating addiction through solution-focused and trauma-informed hypnotherapy.

 

Drawing from years of experience working with cocaine addiction and others, and building on the widely respected perspective of Dr. Gabor Maté, Cormac reframes addiction not as a flaw or behavioural failure—but as a subconscious coping mechanism, a form of secondary gain.

 

Attendees will discover how this understanding radically transforms client outcomes by removing shame and resistance, while creating safety and collaboration within sessions.

 

Cormac will introduce ideas and techniques to attendees that have helped thousands of clients and been trained to therapists across Ireland, the UK, and North America.

 

Through real client case studies, metaphors, and ready-to-use scripts, participants will leave with practical, confidence-boosting strategies they can immediately apply with clients struggling with addiction, relapse, or underlying trauma.

 

Whether you’re new to addiction work or looking to deepen your skillset, this session will offer transformative insights that change how you view addiction—and how you work with it.

A New Approach: Unlocking the Subconscious Code of Addiction (Certification)

Many traditional approaches to addiction focus on stopping the behaviour itself. However, addictive patterns often persist because the subconscious mind has learned them as coping strategies for emotional pain, stress, or unresolved experiences. When these underlying emotional drivers are not addressed, clients may relapse or stop one habit only to replace it with another.

In this practical one-day training, Dr. Jodie Solberg and Cormac Colleran introduce a new way of understanding addiction by exploring the subconscious patterns that create and maintain it. Drawing on their combined 40+ years of clinical experience, they will introduce you to a powerful new solution-focused and trauma-informed framework that will give you the tools and confidence to work with any addiction client and lead them to lasting transformation.

Through demonstrations, guided exercises, case examples, and live practice, you will learn to identify the key emotional drivers behind addictive patterns and more importantly how to work with the subconscious mind to help clients release these patterns safely and break free from addiction.

Participants will gain:

  • An SFTI Addiction Cessation Certificate
    A clear solution-focused and trauma-informed framework for working with addiction

  • ​Practical hypnotic techniques to help clients identify and interrupt addiction cycles and replace them with healthier coping strategies

  • Tools for resolving trauma-related patterns that often are at the root of addiction

  • Precise language patterns that gently guide the subconscious toward change
