0:05
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
0:09
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
0:12
genuine. Issues.
0:13
Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
0:16
celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
0:20
These recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's
0:24
world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
0:31
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:39
Hi, it's Adam here and you're about to listen to a hypnosis
0:42
session all about breaking a habit and I was working with a
0:46
client that had quite a strong habit.
0:50
Now I use the word habit rather than addiction because an
0:53
addiction feels like something is really difficult to break.
0:57
A habit makes it feel like it's a behavioural change that is
1:00
more possible Now. This client was a regular user
1:04
of a particular substance and what became evident in the
1:08
conversation with the client is that it was a substitute.
1:11
It wasn't that they really craved and wanted this thing, it
1:14
was that it was filling a gap in their life and that gap was
1:17
meaning connection and and other things that gave them a sense of
1:22
purpose. So this hypnosis session uses a
1:26
lot of metaphors linked to this idea that when low self worth is
1:30
there, that's when they felt most need to use this substance.
1:35
Therefore the opposite would also be true.
1:37
When they feel worthy and capable and that they have hope
1:42
for the future, then the whole grip and grasp of this habit
1:46
would lose its power. So there's a lot going on here.
1:49
Now, even though the client had a very specific substance, I
1:53
don't mention it in this session.
1:55
Partly I wanted to make it generative so that if it ever
1:58
became something else for the client, this session would also
2:00
be useful. But in doing so, it also means
2:03
that it's a very versatile session for you.
2:08
It might be. Cigarettes, it might be alcohol,
2:10
it might even be gambling or something else.
2:13
The habit does not have to be a particular substance.
2:18
It could just be something that you do.
2:20
A porn addiction might fall into the the gap as well.
2:24
So therefore I want you to be very intentional about this
2:28
session. I want you to think very clearly
2:30
on what is the habit that you want to break and what
2:34
substitute is it for? Are you doing something as a way
2:38
of dealing with procrastination or dealing with boredom or
2:41
dealing with overwhelm and what you actually want is clarity or?
2:45
Progress or a? Sense of momentum.
2:48
Think about those things and then also think what kind of a
2:51
future do you want if you no longer have this habit in your
2:55
life? By thinking of those things,
2:57
you're going to get a lot more value from this session.
3:00
It was created for an individual.
3:01
Some of the suggestions are very, very specific.
3:04
So I would say if you are interested in working with me on
3:08
a one to one basis where I build stuff entirely around you and
3:12
your situation, there will be a link in the description where
3:16
you can schedule a completely free consultation call.
3:18
We'll have a chat over Zoom and it might be that I end up
3:21
working with you directly. For now though, find a quiet,
3:25
comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
3:27
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
3:59
you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
4:04
relaxation. And as you exhale, feel that
4:12
wonderful feeling of relaxation, as if on every outward breath
4:21
you are letting go, letting go of any feelings of unworthiness,
4:31
lack of confidence. Just allow it to leave your
4:33
body. Because certain things need
4:38
feeding, some habits need justification and fuel.
4:48
And without that fuel, it's almost like a tree.
4:54
But without the soil to have the roots, that tree falls down
5:00
quickly. And I want you to imagine your
5:06
habit, and it is a habit, not an addiction.
5:13
Has roots, and these roots are resting in the soil of low self
5:23
worth. But what if that low self worth
5:28
was to wash away? The very thing holding this
5:35
habit together would be lost as you breathe in and breathe out.
5:44
I want you to imagine a beach. Maybe it's a beach used to go to
5:53
as a child, or maybe a tropical beach in a far off country, but
6:01
just imagine keeping your body there as you allow your
6:05
imagination to float up and away, drifting all the way to
6:15
that beach as you touch the ground on the soft sand.
6:24
Imagine wearing whatever clothing is appropriate to be on
6:29
that beach. And I want you to imagine seeing
6:38
a tree with its roots exposed and imagine the sand is that
6:46
low. Self worth and as the waves
6:50
collide with the sand it washes that low self worth away and
6:57
then see the tree come crumbling down.
7:04
I want you to get a sense that what if that's all it takes?
7:10
A tree that would be impossible to move while it's deep in the
7:15
sand or the soil. It becomes easy to uproot the
7:21
moment that it's washed away. I want you to get a feeling that
7:31
your low self worth is washing away, and that's because you
7:39
have something important to be doing, something worthy.
7:46
Because what you need to be doing will help others and
7:52
therefore it's valuable and you are the one to do it.
7:57
Which means you are worthy. And worthiness is the opposite
8:04
of low self worth. And we need to get a feeling
8:12
that the more worthy you feel, the more the roots holding your
8:20
habit together are being exposed.
8:24
But then walk longer and further down the beach and see something
8:30
strange. I want you to see a huge pit in
8:35
the sand, and then in front of that pit is a treadmill.
8:44
And it's you running on the treadmill.
8:50
And you get the sense then one misstep or if you slow down too
8:56
much, the treadmill will send you into that deep pit.
9:04
But you're just about maintaining the pace.
9:10
And as you look at yourself, I want you to feel empathy and
9:14
sympathy because it must be exhausting to be constantly on
9:24
that treadmill, constantly on the brink of falling down.
9:34
But there is a way out. I want you to imagine seeing
9:38
that tube almost like a water slide there above the treadmill,
9:49
but you notice things that you didn't see before.
9:55
You've seen those climbing walls where there's different colored
10:00
shapes that people can climb up a wall.
10:04
I want you to imagine those hand holds and footholds on the
10:08
inside of that water slide. And these hand holds and
10:14
footholds, these are actionable steps and goals, things to do to
10:23
make you feel good. And you didn't see them before,
10:28
so you assumed it would be trickier to escape through that
10:32
tunnel than it actually is. And I want you to imagine seeing
10:38
that version of you reach up and grab one of those things to hold
10:46
onto. See yourself pulling yourself
10:49
up. And imagine that version of you
10:55
now navigating through the tubes, a colourful tunnel that
11:02
sends you on your way to your future.
11:06
And as you think about that version of you escaping, imagine
11:11
finding a comfortable lounger there on the beach, or maybe a
11:16
hammock. Something relaxing to sink into.
11:22
And then as you sink into that lounger, hammock, or just a
11:29
blanket on the beach, allow your body to relax even more as your
11:38
unconscious mind has a mission for you, something important to
11:46
vastly improve the quality of your life.
11:56
And as you settle into that place, they're on the beach,
12:02
breathing gently and allowing the muscles of your body to
12:07
relax and loosen, You begin to drift inward into the quiet
12:15
place where change can happen quickly.
12:21
Because beneath every habit and beneath every craving, beneath
12:30
every moment you felt pulled towards that substance, there is
12:36
something deeper. A longing.
12:43
A need. The hunger for meaning,
12:46
connection, and value. And you already know that the
12:54
habit has been a poor substitute for what you truly desire.
13:02
And the part of you that uses isn't bad.
13:07
It isn't even weak. It's simply a part of you that's
13:11
trying to help with the only tool that it had, numbing pain
13:17
and filling emptiness, avoiding fears of what may happen.
13:24
And one fear in particular. What if I'm not enough to build
13:31
the life I want? But that's just an insecurity.
13:37
It was never truth, just the echo of old wounds, old
13:43
environments, old beliefs that were planted in you long before
13:49
you had a say. And right now, you're stepping
13:57
into a space where those beliefs start to melt away, just like
14:06
the sand or the soil around those roots.
14:09
They loosen, they dissolve, and I want you to imagine now that
14:18
this habit of yours has hands a grasp, a grip around you.
14:28
You decide where on your body, but not choking you, but
14:32
gripping hold of you just tight enough to keep you where you
14:37
are. And those hands, that grip only
14:43
feels powerful because of something called the law of
14:49
familiarity. Because what you know feels
14:55
safe, even if it's killing you. And the unknown feels
15:01
frightening even when it's your liberation.
15:08
But watch what happens now as you imagine those hands again.
15:14
See how they weaken, see how they loosen, and see how they
15:20
are only strong when yourself worth is low and your hope feels
15:27
dim. And watch as your worthiness
15:33
increases, even slightly. Those hands slip, they lose
15:41
leverage, and they can't hold you anymore.
15:47
And it's not because you fight, and it's not because you
15:52
struggle. It's because you feel aligned
15:59
with a life that truly matters. And I wonder if there is a
16:06
belief inside you, something that says you don't deserve a
16:11
future full of love, meaning or contribution.
16:17
But that's just the voice of the part of you with low self worth.
16:24
And when that's winning, you have permission to use.
16:30
But I want you to introduce a new reality.
16:35
Your low self worth is not proof, it's a symptom, a side
16:41
effect, a scar from your past, a reflection of how you were
16:47
treated, not who you are now. And I want you to feel who you
16:56
are now is someone with hope, belief, a desire to do something
17:03
important. And as that becomes clear,
17:08
something shifts. You begin to realise if other
17:15
people with scars, mistakes, flaws and fears can create
17:20
meaningful lives, and so can you.
17:24
You're not broken and you're not behind.
17:31
You're not cursed and you're not doomed.
17:34
You're simply untapped, underestimated, and mainly by
17:41
yourself. You are not incapable, you're
17:46
just unfamiliar with what it's like to do something meaningful,
17:54
to take pride in that, and to improve day by day by day.
18:01
Nobody's ready for their future. You get ready by pursuing it
18:10
From now on, every time you feel tempted, there's a voice inside
18:17
you that says, I don't care, I don't care.
18:21
A new thought emerges. This is the cheap imitation, a
18:28
poor quality substitute of what I really want.
18:36
Because what you really want is purpose, connection,
18:42
significance. That feeling of giving something
18:47
valuable to the world. But that substance can't give
18:54
you that. It can only distract you from
18:59
noticing the emptiness. But your real future, the one
19:06
you haven't stepped into yet, that future is waiting.
19:18
It's waiting for your decision. The moment you decide you're
19:26
worth more, a lot more than the grasp of that habit collapses.
19:36
It loses power. It only has the power that you
19:41
feed it. You feed it with criticism,
19:46
shame, guilt, frustration. It crows.
19:51
But when you feed it hope, ideas, excitement, enthusiasm,
19:59
and you take steps towards that future, it loses all of its
20:05
power. Just like the roots of that tree
20:08
without any soil or sand around them.
20:13
I want if you're no longer trying to escape pain, but that
20:18
you're actually moving toward purpose as you drift off into
20:26
that dreamlike sleep there on the beach.
20:29
I want you to dream about yourself years from now, sitting
20:34
across from someone who is trapped in the same cycle that
20:40
you're in the process of breaking today.
20:48
And maybe that person feels broken, hopeless, lost, or
20:54
worthless. But just imagine telling them
20:58
your story, how you used to escape into substance is because
21:06
you didn't believe you were worthy of something better, and
21:12
how one day you realize that your future deserved to be more
21:19
than your past. Imagine telling them what you
21:24
did and how you did it to avoid the pit.
21:30
Escape the treadmill, get through the tunnel and out to
21:35
the other side. And as you speak, you can see
21:40
from their expressions that they feel hope.
21:45
You didn't just escape your habit, you transformed it into
21:50
meaning. Your pain became your path.
21:57
Your struggle became your service.
22:02
Your darkness became your contribution.
22:09
That's just one person. And now imagine multiplying that
22:13
one person by thousands. You are making a meaningful
22:18
difference to thousands upon thousands of lives.
22:22
And when you feel that way, that substance has no power over you
22:31
at all. Because that future version of
22:35
you, the one telling that story, feels strong, stable, proud,
22:45
peaceful, and most of all, worthy.
22:51
They are worthy and they are confident, and you can see that.
22:55
And that is your future. I want you to imagine stepping
23:02
into that version of you. So rather than it being you in
23:08
the future one day, feel what it would feel like to be that
23:13
person now. Strong, stable, proud, peaceful,
23:18
worthy, oozing confidence. Feel it and allow that identity
23:26
to form within you now. Let it settle into your bones,
23:33
your breath, your posture, your sense of self.
23:41
And then in that future, I want you to imagine a big pile of
23:47
banknotes adding up to 100,000. And there was a time that this
23:57
would have been fitted away, sniffed, used, consumed.
24:07
But not now. This 100,000 improves the
24:13
quality of your life, gives you more security, enables you to do
24:18
more of what you want to do for you and the people you love
24:24
most. Maybe it expands something,
24:28
maybe it helps you grow. But I want you to feel that the
24:33
future version of you would never dream of spending that
24:37
money on substances and gratification because of the
24:44
journey that you've been through to earn it.
24:49
The world, the universe, your future will test you and reward
24:55
you when you're ready. As you think about yourself now,
25:05
in the present, drift back to you.
25:08
They're on the beach. From this moment forward, you
25:12
are no longer trying to escape a habit or addiction.
25:19
I want you to feel that you are making progress toward your
25:23
future, toward meaning, toward contribution, toward becoming
25:31
the kind of person who inspires others simply by existing.
25:42
A person with self worth. A person with choice.
25:48
A person who is no longer held by the grasp of habit because
25:55
that habit was never stronger than you.
25:59
You just hadn't realized it yet. And now you do.
26:09
As you leave that lounger, blanket or hammock, walk past
26:14
the treadmill and see that version of you is no longer on
26:19
the treadmill, you look down into the pit and you're not
26:24
there either. And you start to wonder how far
26:29
along that tube, that tunnel, how much progress have you
26:34
already made? And as you entertain that
26:39
question, see the tree once more, root showing, having lost
26:48
all of its power. Just allow yourself to float all
26:53
the way back to your present, taking a deep breath in through
26:59
your nose and out through your nose.
27:06
Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, Connect and calibrate into
27:09
the here and the now. But it will be a version of you
27:14
that emerges, oozing worthiness, believing with every fibre of
27:21
your being you have something valuable, important and
27:26
essential to do, and more importantly, you are the only
27:32
one that can do it. You are worthy, you are capable,
27:38
you are confident. As I now count from 1:00 to
27:43
10:00 to awaken you starting to count 123 waking up 456, more
27:53
alert 7-8 open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
28:02
Wide awake. Wide awake.
