• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a weight loss and
• 0:48
  food based hypnosis session. In the sense that the client
• 0:52
  that I was working with felt that from childhood they had an
• 0:56
  addiction to processed foods. And in particular, it was things
• 1:02
  like chocolate, but not the kind of dark chocolate with lots of
• 1:08
  micronutrients and compounds in, but the kind of chocolate filled
• 1:11
  with vegetable. Oil and sugar.
• 1:14
  But also processed foods, chips or fries, those, those kind of
• 1:20
  things that were low in nutrition but high in energy.
• 1:24
  And they felt that that started for them in childhood because
• 1:28
  they had a lot of anger directed at what was happening in their
• 1:33
  family environment. And it really felt for them that
• 1:36
  food gave them two key things. One was a sense of comfort made
• 1:41
  them feel better, and secondly that they were choosing what
• 1:46
  they were doing. So they felt powerless in the
• 1:49
  home but more empowered to make choices in their choices as to
• 1:55
  what to eat. The problem with that is that a
• 1:58
  lot of this food is quite addictive in nature.
• 2:00
  Lots of things like salt and sugar and refined carbohydrates
• 2:05
  like flour are quite addictive and therefore it can feel
• 2:09
  difficult to just stop doing that because you get cravings
• 2:12
  and compulsions and those kind of things.
• 2:14
  So the main thing from this session is an element of
• 2:18
  regression to 'cause this clearly started in their
• 2:21
  childhood. So we work with that giving a
• 2:24
  new meaning and that. Meaning is that.
• 2:26
  Food is not the only way to feel empowered and to make you feel
• 2:30
  better, and in fact, it's an option.
• 2:33
  But it's even not a very good option and that there are much.
• 2:37
  Better options available like learning or.
• 2:40
  Movement or exercise or nature, or even healthy foods like
• 2:45
  fruits and vegetables, particularly fruits.
• 2:48
  Low glycemic fruits like berries are actually very tasty, full of
• 2:53
  micronutrients. They're super foods, but because
• 2:57
  they've got so much fibre and water, you can't really gain too
• 3:02
  much weight by those things. You just go to the toilet more
• 3:05
  because of all the fiber, because they're so low glycemic.
• 3:09
  So there's suggestions like that going on and then an element of
• 3:11
  future pacing where they get to see their.
• 3:13
  Future version of them. Being free and and the key
• 3:17
  suggestion I really like in this session is that they are five
• 3:20
  days away. Of breaking free from this.
• 3:24
  Compulsion to processed foods. And there's a bit of science
• 3:27
  behind this in the sense that if you have a lot of refined
• 3:33
  carbohydrates and processed foods for the first five days,
• 3:37
  that you just stop, that you can feel.
• 3:40
  Fatigue. You can.
• 3:41
  Feel low energy. You can feel cranky and Moody,
• 3:46
  but it doesn't last very long because the body has the
• 3:48
  ability. To adapt.
• 3:49
  Pretty quick, so for some people it might be.
• 3:52
  Six days. For some people it might be 4
• 3:54
  days or three days, depending on their metabolism and their their
• 3:57
  body. But this idea that you're about
• 3:59
  5 days away from being free of this compulsion for processed
• 4:03
  foods, I think it's such a powerful thing because then any
• 4:06
  crankiness or low energy is not seen as a problem, but seen as
• 4:10
  evidence that the change is taking place.
• 4:13
  So. It's quite a.
• 4:14
  Powerful Reframe. Obviously this session was
• 4:17
  created for an individual. If you like the kind of stuff
• 4:21
  that I do, click the description because there's loads of free
• 4:23
  stuff that I have that I'm currently offering that you can
• 4:25
  just click the link and get those free stuff.
• 4:27
  But if you like the idea of working with me directly, there
• 4:32
  will be a link. In the description.
• 4:34
  Where you can schedule a free consultation call to explore
• 4:37
  working with me over Zoom. We can have a chat, see if the
• 4:40
  right I'm the right hypno therapist for you, and if so, we
• 4:43
  can explore what that would be like.
• 4:46
  For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you're
• 4:50
  not going to be disturbed to relax.
• 4:52
  And enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 6:08
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of
• 6:13
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just release
• 6:19
  all tension around your eyelids. That's it.
• 6:23
  And with your eyes closed, notice how much easier it is to
• 6:29
  focus on the sound of my voice. As you breathe in, relaxation
• 6:37
  and allow yourself to exhale any feelings of tension, stress or
• 6:44
  worry. And allow yourself to make the
• 6:49
  breath slightly deeper as you breathe in.
• 6:55
  And as you exhale, just allow yourself to carry on the breath
• 7:00
  for longer than you normally would, breathing in for deeper
• 7:06
  and exhaling for longer. And I want you to imagine you're
• 7:11
  breathing in a healing white light, a bright white light.
• 7:18
  Imagine breathing in that healing white light.
• 7:23
  But as you exhale, just imagine dark shadows leaving your body,
• 7:28
  representing any kind of pain, sickness, anger, or stress.
• 7:36
  Just enable yourself to see those shadows leaving your body
• 7:40
  as you breathe out, as it feels that just by breathing in and
• 7:47
  breathing out, it feels like you're cleansing your emotions
• 7:54
  because sometimes an illness is just a reflection of old
• 8:03
  emotions that you're still holding on to.
• 8:08
  Give yourself permission to let go of those emotions, breathing
• 8:13
  in that healing white light of resourcefulness and exhaling
• 8:18
  those heavy emotions that you've been holding on to.
• 8:22
  And some of those emotions maybe from years and years ago.
• 8:29
  Some people can hold on to anger, a gradual resentment, for
• 8:33
  decades. And a wise man once said holding
• 8:40
  on to anger or resentment is like drinking poison and hoping
• 8:47
  that the other person gets sick. So as you feel that now is the
• 8:53
  time to let go of those emotions, I want you to allow
• 8:59
  your imagination to take you back to where certain emotions
• 9:04
  and certain patterns were formed.
• 9:11
  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 9:13
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 9:17
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 9:21
  And I'd like you to imagine an old bedroom, a bedroom where you
• 9:29
  used to sleep and feel safe. And maybe you can recall the
• 9:39
  colour of the wallpaper or the carpet or the curtains, certain
• 9:45
  posters or pictures, certain things that you had back then,
• 9:50
  and go back to the age where it feels like it all started.
• 9:56
  Feelings of anger or frustration, powerlessness.
• 10:03
  But I want you to go back as an adult, not back into your
• 10:07
  child's body. Go back at your current age and
• 10:11
  find yourself there in that old bedroom.
• 10:16
  And when you're there, just let me know by nodding your head.
• 10:21
  That's it. And at the moment, the bedroom
• 10:24
  is empty. And all I want you to do is
• 10:27
  imagine lying on that bed that you used to fall asleep in.
• 10:33
  And maybe your body's too big for that bed, but just imagine
• 10:38
  curling up your body so that you fit.
• 10:40
  I'm going to countdown from 5 to 1 and I want you to imagine what
• 10:46
  it would feel like to fall asleep in that childhood bed.
• 10:54
  Five. Feeling deeper and deeper
• 10:56
  relaxed. 4 Arms and legs feel limp, loose and heavy. 3 Even
• 11:04
  your internal organs start to relax, particularly your gut,
• 11:08
  your heart, your lungs. Breathing in effortlessly and
• 11:14
  exhaling more of that tension or stress.
• 11:18
  That's it. One just feel how good it would
• 11:22
  feel for your whole body to drift off into a dreamlike sleep
• 11:26
  there in that bed and imagine you're waking up in the.
• 11:31
  Same room only. This time you see that younger
• 11:35
  version of you there in the same room.
• 11:40
  They're now confused because there's two of you in the room
• 11:45
  and they don't know who you are. A version of you fast asleep in
• 11:49
  a bed and a version of you standing up.
• 11:54
  But reassure them. In fact, convince that younger
• 11:57
  version of you that you are them from the future, and the only
• 12:04
  way you can possibly do that is to share with them a secret that
• 12:09
  only they know. Tell them something, something
• 12:16
  they did that nobody else knew about.
• 12:20
  And when you've convinced them that you want them from the
• 12:22
  future, let me know by nodding your head.
• 12:28
  That's it. And I want you to tell them that
• 12:32
  you are there to help them. You are there because you know
• 12:38
  they get angry every now and then.
• 12:42
  And I want you to tell them that something that will appeal to
• 12:47
  them either now or in the future, when they get angry,
• 12:49
  when they feel frustrated, or when they feel low is food.
• 12:58
  But I want you to warn them. Warn them that some of this food
• 13:02
  is addictive. Some of this food feels like a
• 13:05
  friend, but it's actually an enemy.
• 13:08
  It feels like it's helping, but actually it's damaging your
• 13:11
  health. And I want you to explain this
• 13:15
  in words that a child would understand.
• 13:19
  So it really does make sense for them.
• 13:21
  And when they start to understand, then food as a tool
• 13:30
  to make them feel better works. But it comes at a cost when they
• 13:36
  understand that principle. Let me know by nodding your
• 13:40
  head. That's it, and I want you to
• 13:48
  tell them or inspire them with other things that they can do to
• 13:56
  release anger. Some people have a journal.
• 14:01
  They get those thoughts out of their head and they feel better.
• 14:05
  And some people do something active, or they play, and some
• 14:12
  people connect with friends and conversations and some people do
• 14:18
  other things but tell them that if they are going to use food as
• 14:25
  a way to make them feel better, superfoods are the way they can
• 14:31
  truly do that. Explain what a superfood is, so
• 14:36
  this child understands foods that have high nutritional
• 14:42
  density, the kind of foods that are bursting with colours and
• 14:49
  flavour, the kind of foods that are natural, powered by sunshine
• 14:53
  and rainwater. And give them some examples like
• 14:57
  berries and avocados, salads, other fruits.
• 15:04
  And what this child understands that they can eat food and it
• 15:12
  will make them feel better and it will enhance their health and
• 15:19
  confidence and vitality, not erode it and suppress it.
• 15:25
  When they truly understand that, let me know by nodding your head
• 15:32
  and you probably remember what you were going through at that
• 15:34
  age. And just for a moment, I want
• 15:37
  you to listen. Listen to what this younger
• 15:40
  version of you is going through and really listen.
• 15:49
  Hear their concerns, their frustrations, why they feel
• 15:53
  anger. And I want you to give them two
• 16:00
  things that may help. One, some wisdom that you
• 16:05
  learned only after. And secondly, a resource that
• 16:09
  you really wish you had back then.
• 16:13
  Maybe that resource is patience or perspective, confidence or
• 16:21
  something else. And when you've given this child
• 16:25
  the wisdom and the resource, like a glowing energy that they
• 16:29
  hold to their chest, just let me know by nodding your head.
• 16:54
  They are taking hold of your wisdom, absorbing your resource,
• 16:59
  and they feel more empowered, more able to cope.
• 17:03
  I don't want you to feel that you've planted a seed that is
• 17:09
  reconciled, not just anger from your childhood, but a coping
• 17:16
  strategy. So just hug that child, say
• 17:18
  goodbye, and then float to seeing yourself, perhaps as a.
• 17:24
  Young teenager I. Want you to get a sense that you
• 17:35
  are seeing yourself buying some processed food, maybe chocolate,
• 17:42
  maybe hot chips. But I want you to see that that
• 17:48
  younger version of you, that younger version of you now feels
• 17:58
  inspired. So instead of having those
• 18:02
  snacks at a mini recess to do something different.
• 18:10
  And maybe that's play, maybe that's talk, maybe that's read
• 18:19
  or learn. But I want you to see how things
• 18:23
  have changed. Maybe you see yourself choosing
• 18:30
  berries or fruits. There's a way to cheer yourself
• 18:33
  up rather than those processed foods.
• 18:35
  I don't want you to get a sense then that chain that has been
• 18:45
  tethered to certain foods to make you feel good.
• 18:49
  I want you to feel that you are five days away from breaking
• 18:54
  free of this pattern that has haunted you for many, many
• 18:59
  years, affected your confidence, affected your health, affected
• 19:06
  your ability to live life on your terms.
• 19:10
  I want you to feel that every time you do something even
• 19:15
  slightly different to what you have been doing in the past, you
• 19:21
  are rewiring your brain to create new habits and new
• 19:26
  compulsions. And whenever you think about
• 19:31
  certain processed foods, just imagine it filled with bacteria,
• 19:38
  germs, other people's saliva or phlegm, and notice that just
• 19:44
  thinking that way makes the food less desirable.
• 19:50
  But more importantly, I want you to tap into a wonderful feeling
• 19:54
  of defiance. I want you to feel that every
• 19:59
  time you choose an alternative to processed foods, you are
• 20:09
  becoming victorious. There was a time when it was
• 20:14
  difficult for you to win. That time in your childhood, you
• 20:19
  had less power, couldn't make the decisions.
• 20:24
  But you're not that child anymore.
• 20:28
  Every time you choose not to have processed foods and
• 20:31
  something else, like walking in nature, movement, healthy foods,
• 20:39
  you are defeating the anger of your past.
• 20:47
  You're taking back control of your life.
• 20:51
  You are moving forward to a future where you are happy and
• 20:56
  healthy and you are free of those compulsions and any
• 21:01
  cravings, any crankiness, any natural withdrawals when you
• 21:09
  reduce those processed foods, they're not problems.
• 21:13
  They are evidence that you are closer to breaking free, closer
• 21:20
  and closer. And I want you to imagine
• 21:23
  observing yourself over A5 day period, making different
• 21:31
  choices, having dark chocolate, that if you feel a craving for
• 21:36
  chocolate, you have really dark chocolate, maybe 85 or 90% cocoa
• 21:41
  solids. If there is a craving for
• 21:46
  something like chips or a processed food or a snack, I
• 21:53
  want you to see that version of you having a healthy alternative
• 21:56
  instead, or just sitting with the craving and letting it pass.
• 22:02
  And I want you to see that there is a new level of resolve in
• 22:05
  you, a defiance in you, a stubbornness in you.
• 22:11
  You will do whatever it takes to turn a compulsion and what you
• 22:16
  thought was an addiction into simply an option and not even a
• 22:24
  very good option. And just imagine that you have
• 22:29
  broken free. See how you increase your
• 22:34
  mobility. Eat more normal meals that are
• 22:39
  healthy, full of Whole Foods. See how your body adapts,
• 22:46
  increased energy levels, more feelings of motivation to try
• 22:54
  new things. And I want you to imagine what
• 22:57
  it would be like a year from now, A year of being broken free
• 23:04
  from those compulsions, those impulses, those cravings.
• 23:12
  Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror, seeing that your
• 23:14
  body has changed. See yourself smiling and happy.
• 23:19
  See yourself with more mobility, more health, more vitality.
• 23:27
  And if this feels like a desirable future and that you're
• 23:32
  just five days away for being on the path towards this future,
• 23:38
  just let me know by nodding your head.
• 23:44
  That's it. And step into that version of
• 23:46
  you. Feel that that is now your
• 23:50
  identity in advance, that those old identities of being angry,
• 23:57
  being the one that could eat the most, that wasn't you.
• 24:01
  That was a coping strategy. And you don't need that coping
• 24:05
  strategy anymore. As soon as you let that go, like
• 24:09
  an old piece of furniture that you never use anymore, feel that
• 24:13
  you can really embrace the new version of you.
• 24:16
  The version of you that feels empowered and defiant, that
• 24:21
  feels like you've truly broken free from the anger, the
• 24:27
  frustration, and the coping strategies of your past.
• 24:34
  Then float back to that childhood bedroom, say goodbye
• 24:42
  to that younger version of you, give them a hug, tell them
• 24:44
  they're loved, Tell them they're important, Tell them it's their
• 24:48
  choices, not their compulsions that matter.
• 24:52
  And then step into that version of you sleeping in the bed, just
• 24:55
  like Goldilocks. But as you awaken, awaken and
• 25:00
  float all the way back to your physical body.
• 25:02
  Now with all of these changes, new ideas, new ways of thinking,
• 25:09
  new ways of framing, what is a compulsion, what is an
• 25:11
  addiction, you are five days away from freedom.
• 25:17
  And with that in mind, take a deep breath in through your nose
• 25:21
  and out through your nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 25:25
  wiggle. Your toes connect and calibrate.
• 25:27
  Into the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
• 25:32
  awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 25:38
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 25:41
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 25:47
  awake. None.
• 30:50
  None. The.
• 33:20
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 34:20
  Yeah. Yeah.
