• 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 CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
• 0:21
  recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
• 0:24
  famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here, and you're about to listen to a hypnosis
• 0:43
  session all about having the confidence to open up in social
• 0:49
  situations and perhaps share anecdotes.
• 0:53
  Tell stories. Be willing to share your
• 0:56
  opinions about any topic that you want.
• 1:00
  And I was working with a client that felt that they couldn't do
• 1:04
  that, that because their nature was to be a bit more shy and
• 1:08
  introverted, that they felt that they weren't really able to
• 1:13
  share who they were and their own experiences.
• 1:17
  So a lot of this hypnosis session is all about unleashing
• 1:22
  this in a storyteller, this raconteur.
• 1:26
  And when you think of the term raconteur, at least for me, I
• 1:30
  think of it as someone effortlessly telling stories,
• 1:34
  weaving different narratives in a very kind of charismatic way.
• 1:39
  And that could be quite difficult to do if you haven't
• 1:42
  had much experience. Doing that.
• 1:45
  So this hypnosis session uses a metaphor of a advanced virtual
• 1:51
  reality headset that can actually re experience memories
• 1:55
  either as a an observer or experiential to enable the
• 2:00
  client to see moments of the past where they didn't quite
• 2:04
  share what they wanted to share. And almost like a time loop
• 2:07
  movie like Groundhog Day or what I saw a couple of years ago was
• 2:13
  Palm Springs, where everything repeats, the day repeats.
• 2:18
  This enables them to repeat the moment, but changing it until
• 2:22
  they get it just right. And then when they do, stepping
• 2:24
  into that and then feeling more comfortable that they can
• 2:28
  actually bank these stories and these opinions.
• 2:33
  But mainly it's to tap in to a feeling of confidence within
• 2:37
  that context. Because if you feel
• 2:40
  unresourceful, even if you've got a great story to tell, you
• 2:43
  probably aren't going to tell it.
• 2:45
  If you feel confident, then you'd be willing.
• 2:47
  To tell that. Story.
• 2:49
  So it's really about feeling worthy and deserving and that
• 2:53
  you have permission to share what you want to share, but also
• 2:58
  knowing that that doesn't guarantee that you're always
• 3:00
  going to get good feedback. You might tell a story to
• 3:03
  someone and they're bored by it and someone else is captivated.
• 3:07
  So there's also this element of perspective that not one bit of
• 3:12
  feedback means that it's not worthy for you to tell that
• 3:16
  story. I think people like how I used
• 3:20
  to be. I used to be very shy, very
• 3:22
  introverted, very withdrawn in in social situations.
• 3:27
  I think this hypnosis session would have been very useful for
• 3:30
  me 20 years ago. So if you can relate to these
• 3:33
  kind of things, then I think you will benefit a lot from this
• 3:36
  session. Be aware though, that it was
• 3:38
  created for an individual and some of the suggestions might
• 3:41
  have been perfect for them and not quite right for you.
• 3:44
  So you can just accept the suggestions that are useful,
• 3:48
  disregard any that aren't. And if you do like the idea of
• 3:52
  having something a bit more bespoke to you, there will be a
• 3:56
  link in the description where you can schedule a free
• 3:58
  consultation call. And then we can have a chat.
• 4:01
  We'll probably have a chat right here in my, my studio.
• 4:04
  You'll be on Zoom and then you can ask me questions and I can
• 4:07
  explain the process of how I actually work with people.
• 4:10
  So rather than just listening to sessions recorded for other
• 4:13
  people, you will actually experience a live hypnosis
• 4:16
  session with me. So if that's of interest, check
• 4:20
  out that link in the description.
• 4:22
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:24
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:48
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 4:57
  feeling of quiet relaxation. And as you exhale, just feel
• 5:09
  that sense of release, as if any tension, stress and worries
• 5:18
  adjust, leaving your body in your outward breath, breathing
• 5:26
  in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 5:32
  That's it. And as you breathe in and
• 5:36
  breathe out, perhaps you start to notice any clues of tension,
• 5:47
  stress, any blocks there in your body, and just allow yourself to
• 5:55
  feel that you can let go. And it might be tension in the
• 6:00
  forehead or the jaw or the neck and the shoulders.
• 6:07
  And just imagine, as you breathe out, you're letting go of that
• 6:12
  tension, enabling you to feel deeper and more relaxed.
• 6:23
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel and the
• 6:30
  more relaxed you feel, the deeper you breathe.
• 6:35
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 6:41
  Relaxed hands in and as your body relaxes, your imagination
• 6:52
  awakens, and I want you to imagine what it would be like to
• 7:00
  be in a futuristic laboratory. I want you to imagine walking
• 7:13
  through the halls of a College in Cambridge and discovering a
• 7:19
  lab focused on computer science, augmented reality, and virtual
• 7:27
  reality. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 7:33
  cutting edge technology as you walk into the lab.
• 7:38
  Just imagine seeing the most advanced VR headset ever
• 7:47
  created. Because ordinarily virtual
• 7:53
  reality can only place you in the three-dimensional realm that
• 8:02
  is programmed into the software, the application of that headset.
• 8:10
  But I want you to imagine that this headset can take you back
• 8:15
  to a memory as you breathe in and breathe down.
• 8:22
  Just notice the look of this VR headset.
• 8:30
  And whereas our realities follow time in a linear form that only
• 8:39
  moves forwards, technology can mean you can go back to a
• 8:50
  moment. Isn't that what a photo or a
• 8:54
  video is seeing A moment from the past?
• 8:59
  But sometimes it brings up emotions similar to what you
• 9:05
  experienced at the time. And I want you to imagine,
• 9:13
  imagine putting on that VR headset and initially going back
• 9:19
  to a memory where you felt confident and relaxed.
• 9:27
  Doesn't need to be a social situation, just a time when you
• 9:32
  felt confident and relaxed. And I want you to imagine you're
• 9:41
  back in that place, feeling that confidence and feeling that
• 9:48
  relaxation and just being back in that moment makes you feel
• 9:58
  good. And I wonder if you can notice
• 10:02
  where in your body you feel that confidence and then just start
• 10:10
  amplifying that confidence. Make the confidence even more
• 10:18
  intense. Feel what it would feel like to
• 10:24
  have even more confidence and then notice if relaxation is
• 10:32
  somewhere else. Maybe relaxation is just
• 10:38
  noticing how loose you feel, how easy it is to breathe in and
• 10:44
  out, the overall feeling of a lack of rigidity in any muscles
• 10:53
  feeling fluid. Or maybe relaxation is the pace
• 11:00
  of any inner dialogue. Slow, deliberate.
• 11:05
  Or maybe the clue is your breathing rate, long and slow,
• 11:15
  and just imagine amplifying that relaxation.
• 11:20
  So whatever relaxation you feel, you're able to feel even more of
• 11:28
  it. And when you feel confident and
• 11:33
  relaxed, it's time to move to a different memory.
• 11:41
  Because this is about unleashing your ability to feel confident,
• 11:52
  sharing your past, your experiences, to not need
• 11:58
  permission to tell a story. And I want you to think of a
• 12:03
  moment in your past, perhaps recent, but it could be for many
• 12:10
  months or years ago, where you wanted to share more, tell a
• 12:18
  story, interact more, but didn't quite feel that you could.
• 12:28
  With this VR headset, you can just think of that place and
• 12:34
  then imagine being there. But I want you to imagine being
• 12:39
  there initially as an invisible observer.
• 12:45
  You're in the room, but not in your body.
• 12:49
  And I want you to imagine seeing yourself exactly as you were.
• 12:58
  Not worse, not better, not changing any emotions, just
• 13:03
  exactly as you were. And I want you to see you at a
• 13:11
  moment where there was an opportunity to make me tell a
• 13:16
  story to get involved, but you didn't.
• 13:26
  And I want you to imagine seeing it as it was.
• 13:32
  Then considering this a time loop, you get to replay this
• 13:39
  moment until it's exactly as you want it to be.
• 13:49
  The first iteration is reality as it was, but I want you to
• 13:55
  think from this third person perspective that you can change
• 14:03
  that version of you. Just imagine giving that version
• 14:08
  of you more confidence and seeing your posture and facial
• 14:11
  expressions change. Imagine giving that version of
• 14:18
  you more relaxation. Imagine dialling down the stakes
• 14:24
  so it feels like there's nothing major here, it's no big deal.
• 14:32
  And as you do that, allow that version of you to do it again,
• 14:40
  but differently. And I want you to project the
• 14:47
  possible anecdote, story, or take on what's being discussed.
• 14:57
  And as you do that, see that version of you speaking up more,
• 15:03
  sharing that anecdote, that story, that interesting take.
• 15:11
  But I want you to imagine you don't have one shot to get this
• 15:16
  right. You have infinite shots to get
• 15:21
  it right. If you could imagine seeing
• 15:24
  yourself with more confidence and relaxation still allow that
• 15:30
  take to get to the end as you consider yourself a director.
• 15:39
  A director making a movie might have 1020 or even 50 takes
• 15:46
  before they feel like they've got the right one.
• 15:52
  The moment one take has finished, loop it back to the
• 15:58
  beginning and see yourself trying a different version.
• 16:04
  Maybe a different story. Maybe see yourself talking
• 16:10
  louder. Maybe you see yourself with a
• 16:15
  different on ramp, a phrase that you use to start the story.
• 16:24
  Oh, I remember. When do you remember that time
• 16:31
  when that's really fascinating. And that reminds me of as you
• 16:40
  see yourself ramping into your own story, your own anecdote.
• 16:47
  Allow it to play out, just observing.
• 16:54
  But seeing you looking confident, looking relaxed,
• 16:59
  perhaps even playful. Everything is just a shot to
• 17:06
  nothing, A roll of the dice. Experienced comedians always
• 17:20
  test their material to small rooms of people to figure out
• 17:27
  what works before they go on a big tour.
• 17:31
  And when a joke doesn't work, they either refine it or discard
• 17:40
  it. The whole point is to figure out
• 17:47
  what works, and they keep what works, and they discard or
• 17:55
  refine anything that doesn't. And I want you to feel that you
• 18:01
  are a director of a version of you either refining or
• 18:07
  discarding anything that your intuition feels wouldn't work
• 18:15
  perfectly. Everything's an improvement, a
• 18:21
  refinement. And maybe you see yourself
• 18:26
  telling stories of funny moments, proud moments,
• 18:36
  coincidences, things that were surprising.
• 18:47
  And when it gets to the end, loop it again with a different
• 18:53
  telling of that story. You don't have to know all the
• 18:56
  details. You don't have to see yourself
• 19:00
  saying things word for word, but just see you being experimental,
• 19:09
  the idea of you saying different things in different ways.
• 19:17
  And maybe you change your body language more expressive in one
• 19:24
  and less in another. And sometimes when you lower
• 19:30
  your volume, people have to pay more attention to listen.
• 19:37
  I want you to see yourself testing all these different
• 19:42
  variables until you figure out what works.
• 19:46
  And when you found something that in that same context, you
• 19:53
  feel would have been a vast improvement and what you did do,
• 20:01
  play it one more time. This time, when it loops back to
• 20:07
  the beginning, imagine stepping into your body and feeling what
• 20:13
  it would feel like to not observe you telling the story,
• 20:18
  but feel what it would feel like to be the one telling the story.
• 20:24
  Feel that confidence, feel that relaxation, feel that the memory
• 20:34
  of the moment is what helps you tell that story.
• 20:41
  Not a script or words you have to remember, but a memory that
• 20:46
  you're recalling and then sharing.
• 20:49
  And I want you to feel authentic, genuine, feel
• 20:59
  attentive that if people are enjoying your story, you can
• 21:05
  elaborate and extend it, but also feel that you can wind it
• 21:13
  down if you don't feel comfortable sharing that story.
• 21:22
  And a story that might work well with one person might not work
• 21:28
  so well in a different place. I don't want you to feel you're
• 21:36
  just experimenting, just feeling comfortable.
• 21:43
  And each time you tell a story, share an anecdote or share an
• 21:48
  opinion on something, you are both telling and refining in
• 21:57
  real time. And the next time you share a
• 22:04
  similar opinion, anecdotal story, don't be surprised if it
• 22:10
  evolves naturally. And every time you tell it, your
• 22:16
  confidence grows, you feel more relaxed.
• 22:23
  And I want you to feel that you are unleashing your inner
• 22:27
  raconteur, a natural storyteller.
• 22:32
  But natural storytellers aren't born natural storytellers in the
• 22:40
  same way that an athlete isn't born an athlete.
• 22:45
  It's practice, repetition, and confidence that comes from
• 22:48
  experience. And every experience you have
• 22:54
  empowers your inner raconteur to feel empowered to tell your
• 23:02
  stories, share your anecdotes and share your opinions, your
• 23:07
  experiences. And if you can imagine feeling
• 23:12
  that, just let me know by nodding your head.
• 23:16
  That's it. And each time you listen to
• 23:20
  this, you will change the context and change the story,
• 23:25
  training your brain and building the very neural pathways needed
• 23:30
  so when you find yourself in real experiences, you will feel
• 23:34
  more empowered than ever before. And one final place to visit in
• 23:42
  this virtual reality is your future.
• 23:46
  One year from now, I want you to imagine seeing yourself a year
• 23:54
  of practising, sometimes with real people, and sometimes just
• 24:00
  thinking of stories or opinions that you have that you may or
• 24:06
  may not share in social situations.
• 24:10
  See yourself a year from now in the kind of context.
• 24:15
  Then you could evaluate all of that progress, see yourself like
• 24:21
  you're someone else, and now look how natural you look.
• 24:26
  Confident you look, relaxed and playful you look.
• 24:32
  That version of you is charismatic, authentic, real,
• 24:39
  genuine, and natural storyteller.
• 24:48
  To leave this experiment in your imagination and as you imagine
• 24:54
  taking the VI had set off, find yourself back there in that
• 25:01
  university lab of the future. But as you leave, feel like
• 25:06
  you're taking these resources with you, realizing this was a
• 25:11
  journey in your imagination, a journey of thoughts within
• 25:15
  thoughts, ideas within ideas, and dreams within dreams.
• 25:22
  And as you float back to your present, the here and the now,
• 25:27
  all of those thought strategies and resourceful emotions come
• 25:32
  flooding back with you as you feel excited to build a Bank of
• 25:39
  wonderful things to share. Very soon I will count from 1:00
• 25:45
  to 10:00 to awaken you. And you will awaken feeling
• 25:49
  resourceful, inspired, eager to build up your bank.
• 25:56
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 26:00
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 26:02
  wiggle your toes. That's it.
• 26:03
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 26:09
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 26:13
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 26:21
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910.
• 26:25
