Description

In this episode of Sober Not Sorry, I’m joined by the incredible Perri Curtis—founder of Train the Brain, an evidence-based approach that blends psychology, neuroscience, and hypnotherapy to create real, lasting change.


With over 30 years of experience in private practice, corporate leadership, and university lecturing, Perri brings deep insight and grounded compassion to the work of behaviour change. Together, we explore how the brain forms patterns around alcohol, why we get stuck in habits that don’t serve us, and—most importantly—how we can change.

We dive into:


  • What’s really going on in the brain when it comes to alcohol and addiction
  • How neuroplasticity helps us rewire unhelpful habits
  • The connection between emotional regulation and drinking
  • Practical ways to shift your response to stress and overwhelm
  • One powerful mindset shift that supports sustainable change


Perri’s belief that “if the brain made the pattern, the brain can change it” is at the heart of this conversation—and I know it’s going to leave you feeling both seen and empowered.
