  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
  When people ask me what kind of person I was like when I was a
• 0:42
  child, what kind of child was I like?
• 0:44
  What kind of teenager was I like?
• 0:47
  I would say I was a shy, introverted, nervous child and I
• 0:52
  don't really consider myself shy or nervous these days, but I do
• 0:57
  still consider myself introverted.
• 1:00
  Introversion, I think is a personality trait, whereas
• 1:03
  nervousness is linked to anxiety, and shyness quite often
• 1:07
  is a lack of confidence. This hypnosis session is all
• 1:11
  about reducing nervousness and reducing anxiety and helping
• 1:16
  people feel more calm. And that's because I was working
• 1:19
  with a client that was very, very hyper vigilant.
• 1:24
  They were on edge. I could tell from their
• 1:26
  mannerisms, their breathing rate, they were in a state of
• 1:30
  high alert and that's useful in certain contexts, but it's not
• 1:34
  useful all the time. It's exhausting and it's very
• 1:38
  difficult to relax and sleep if you're in this high alert state.
• 1:43
  So this is a hypnosis session to reduce nervousness, to reduce
• 1:47
  anxiety and to feel more confident and to feel more calm.
• 1:51
  You will get more value out of this if you can think of the
• 1:55
  kind of environments that it would be helpful for you to be
• 1:59
  more calm. I want you to think of maybe
• 2:01
  just one or two consistent triggers for nervousness.
• 2:05
  Now, for some people, that might be a job interview or a first
• 2:08
  date, or it might be an appraisal at work, or it might
• 2:12
  be speaking in public. Think of something where you get
• 2:16
  nervous, and then by just thinking about that, we're
• 2:18
  activating that neural pathway. So then when you listen to the
• 2:21
  session, you're going to get much more value from the
• 2:24
  suggestions in the neuroplasticity.
• 2:27
  If you do want a customized session, because this was
• 2:31
  calibrated to the client that I was working with, there will be
• 2:34
  a link in the description where you can schedule a completely
• 2:36
  free consultation call. We'll have a chat, and maybe we
• 2:39
  end up working together. For now, though, you might get
• 2:42
  some value from this one. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 2:44
  place, ideally in the kind of environment where you're not
• 2:47
  going to be distracted or disturbed.
• 2:49
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
• 3:24
  breathe in, breathe in that feeling of calm relaxation and
• 3:34
  as you exhale, feel that wonderful feeling of release, as
• 3:44
  if any tension, stress and worries are starting to leave
• 3:51
  your body. In your outward breath,
• 3:57
  breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 4:07
  Each breath takes you deeper and and deeper relaxed.
• 4:19
  In fact, the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel and
• 4:26
  the more relaxed you feel the deeper you breathe.
• 4:32
  And as you exhale, just elongate the outward breath.
• 4:41
  So your outward breath last longer than your inward breath,
• 4:47
  almost like you're sending a message there directly to your
• 4:55
  brain and your body, that it is safe to calm down and
• 5:03
  recalibrate. As your body relaxes, your
• 5:13
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine being
• 5:21
  on a quiet, private, peaceful shore of Lake MI.
• 5:28
  And I want you to imagine there's been recent storms and
• 5:33
  high winds, and I want you to see choppy waves and Gray skies,
• 5:44
  noisy waves crashing. And I want you to allow the
• 5:55
  volatility, the busyness of the waves to represent those times
• 6:04
  where you felt your brain was overthinking, hyper vigilant,
• 6:12
  doing too much. But as you breathe in that
• 6:19
  feeling of relaxation and exhale that tension, your breathing
• 6:28
  slows down and the waves start to calm.
• 6:35
  And as they calm, you feel more and more relaxed until after
• 6:49
  just a few breaths, the Gray skies are now blue skies and the
• 6:58
  choppy waves are now calm waters on the lake.
• 7:07
  And I wonder if you could imagine that you're wearing
• 7:10
  whatever clothing is appropriate to enjoy the water and just
• 7:17
  imagine a large, stable inflatable.
• 7:25
  And I want you to imagine climbing on top of that
• 7:29
  inflatable and paddling out there in the lake.
• 7:35
  And maybe you could imagine feeling the warmth of the sun on
• 7:38
  your back, that subtle rise and fall of the inflatable beneath
• 7:46
  you. Imagine lying on your front,
• 7:50
  watching the water, clear blue shimmering with light.
• 7:59
  And maybe you can notice how the ripples move, how the
• 8:04
  reflections dance and shift, and how you're breathing naturally
• 8:12
  synchronizes with the rhythm of the lake.
• 8:19
  And notice how it takes no effort at all, because your body
• 8:25
  knows how to relax here. Your nervous system recognizes
• 8:32
  this place as calm, safe, and peaceful, and as you float, your
• 8:45
  muscles relax, your mind slows, and your whole system drifts
• 8:53
  into a deeper state of quiet inner awareness.
• 9:00
  Each ripple, each ray of light takes you further into ease, and
• 9:11
  the calmer you feel, the more your unconscious mind becomes
• 9:19
  open and responsive, ready to access exactly the resources you
• 9:31
  need. And I wonder if you could
• 9:37
  imagine the gentle warmth of the sun soothing the muscles of your
• 9:43
  back, melting down through the shoulders, all the way into your
• 9:49
  chest and down your legs. And every wave of warmth tells
• 9:55
  your nervous system you are safe.
• 10:01
  You can soften. You can let go, and as the body
• 10:08
  relaxes, the mind becomes clearer, quieter and even more
• 10:16
  capable. And sometimes you can drift off
• 10:23
  into a dreamlike sleep. So in this calm state, your
• 10:31
  unconscious can bring to mind a moment in your life when you
• 10:36
  faced a real challenge. Not a small inconvenience, but
• 10:46
  something meaningful. Something that demanded courage,
• 10:51
  action, resourcefulness. And allow that memory, that
• 10:58
  moment to surface now and imagine you can see where you
• 11:04
  were, hear what was around you, and notice the version of you
• 11:13
  that showed up. Perhaps you didn't feel ready,
• 11:18
  and perhaps you were nervous then as well.
• 11:24
  But you acted. You moved, you decided, and you
• 11:33
  made progress. And because you did, the
• 11:41
  situation changed. And because you acted, your
• 11:47
  world expanded. And because you took
• 11:53
  responsibility, you overcame the challenge and just let that
• 12:02
  memory replay not as a distant event, but as evidence that you
• 12:11
  are capable of meeting challenges.
• 12:15
  You have already done difficult things.
• 12:20
  You already know how to do this. Step into that version of you,
• 12:29
  resourceful in that memory, and feel that resourcefulness.
• 12:34
  Come back online now. The strength, the clarity, the
• 12:44
  capability. And now, as you float on the
• 12:51
  water, you can begin to give nervousness a new meaning.
• 13:03
  What if nervousness is not a warning of danger?
• 13:08
  It's either a false signal or it's a signal of growth, a sign
• 13:16
  that you are at the edge of your comfort zone, the very place
• 13:22
  where expansion happens. Nervousness in your system is
• 13:31
  switching off. Resourcefulness is switching on,
• 13:37
  preparing you, activating you, sharpening your senses for
• 13:43
  something important. What if nervousness is just a
• 13:50
  body saying you're stepping into something meaningful you're
• 13:56
  about to learn, grow, and become more?
• 14:02
  What if it's not a barrier, but a threshold, and every time you
• 14:08
  do something that makes you nervous, you are stretching the
• 14:14
  boundaries of what your brain thinks you can handle.
• 14:22
  Your comfort zone expands and your confidence grows in this
• 14:31
  meaning, Nervousness becomes a compass pointing you towards the
• 14:38
  next version of yourself. And the more you understand
• 14:45
  this, the calmer you become. Your nervous system stops
• 14:52
  reacting as if something is wrong and starts responding as
• 14:59
  if something important is unfolding.
• 15:08
  Feel calmness spreading through you now.
• 15:11
  Steady, grounded, centred. Calmness in your breath,
• 15:18
  calmness in your thoughts, and even calmness in your body.
• 15:26
  And beneath that calmness, A deeper truth.
• 15:31
  You can handle this. You've handled things before,
• 15:39
  and you will handle things again.
• 15:45
  And now let's move to the future.
• 15:49
  I wonder if you could imagine yourself in the near future, in
• 15:54
  a situation that once made you nervous.
• 15:59
  I wonder if you can imagine yourself standing or sitting
• 16:02
  there, breathing steadily, grounded, clear, capable.
• 16:13
  Watch yourself respond differently, More calm, more
• 16:17
  confident, more resourceful, more in control.
• 16:25
  And notice how your nervous system stays balanced, how the
• 16:31
  thoughts stay organized, and how your actions flow naturally.
• 16:41
  Imagine yourself moving through that moment with poise, and
• 16:47
  afterwards feel the pride, the satisfaction, and the evidence
• 16:54
  that every time you lean into nervousness, you are disproving
• 17:05
  false evaluations and you are expanding who you are and you're
• 17:11
  becoming someone stronger, calmer and more capable.
• 17:17
  Every time that you do and step into that future version of you
• 17:23
  merge with yourself, becoming the new baseline, the new
• 17:27
  normal, the new identity. And then imagine floating back,
• 17:41
  back from the lake on that inflatable, back to the shore.
• 17:46
  But feel calmer, recalibrated, more resourceful, questioning
• 17:56
  whether things that make you nervous or even real evaluations
• 18:00
  or just false assumptions, false evidence that appears real.
• 18:07
  Isn't it time to call the bluff on all of these things that you
• 18:12
  thought were true but perhaps weren't?
• 18:21
  Imagine floating back from the shore all the way back to the
• 18:26
  present as you take a deep breath in through your nose and
• 18:31
  out through your nose. Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle
• 18:36
  your toes, connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I
• 18:43
  now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 18:49
  Starting to count 123 starting to wake 456.
• 18:57
  More alert 7-8. Open your eyes, open your eyes,
• 19:01
  910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 19:06
  awake. Thank you so much for joining me
