  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside

• 0:12

• 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
• 0:42
  weight loss hypnosis session with a bit of a difference.
• 0:46
  And I was working with a client that was very, very successful
• 0:51
  in their profession, which was in the medical industry.
• 0:54
  And they felt a little bit incongruent because they knew
• 0:59
  the consequences of eating snacks and processed food, the
• 1:03
  impact on their insulin, on their cholesterol, in terms of
• 1:07
  their overall health and well-being, and the possibility
• 1:11
  that it could lead to lifestyle diseases like heart disease and
• 1:15
  type 2 diabetes. And yet felt that it was almost
• 1:20
  a compulsion that there was some other part of them in control.
• 1:24
  They also knew that although it was giving them something that
• 1:28
  felt gratifying or satisfying in the short term, quite often the
• 1:32
  next day they would wake up with a sense of guilt or shame or
• 1:35
  regret. And that's a really big clue
• 1:39
  that they're not in integrity with their values.
• 1:43
  Because if you do something that perfectly aligns with your
• 1:47
  values, you don't regret it. You feel proud about it.
• 1:51
  If, however, it is linked to something that you feel shame or
• 1:57
  regret for, it's because your intuition is saying you're on
• 2:00
  the wrong path. And this client had that.
• 2:04
  So we use a few different things here.
• 2:06
  We use the hiking and nature analogy because this particular
• 2:11
  client, when they were at the weight that they felt the
• 2:14
  happiest, love to hike and they love to see waterfalls in
• 2:19
  nature. So that naturally is linked to a
• 2:22
  resource state, but then we've got this idea of two different
• 2:25
  timelines and they had an idea of where they were heading.
• 2:28
  If they continue to kind of eat takeaways late at night and
• 2:32
  snack late at night, they kind of knew that they're not going
• 2:36
  to lose as much weight as they want and they're not going to
• 2:38
  have the same level of confidence and they're not going
• 2:40
  to feel so comfortable in social situations.
• 2:43
  They also knew that once they make subtle changes, and by the
• 2:48
  way, these changes don't have to be easy.
• 2:50
  A lot of people are looking for easy ways to lose weight.
• 2:53
  But this person had got through medical school.
• 2:56
  They could do things that weren't easy but were
• 2:58
  worthwhile. And I primed that in this
• 3:01
  particular hypnosis session because actually you get a lot
• 3:05
  more pride if you do something challenging than if you do
• 3:08
  something that's really easy. And I would say those people who
• 3:11
  lose weight through liposuction aren't going to feel the same
• 3:15
  levels of personal pride as the same person that would lose
• 3:19
  weight through dietary choices and healthy habits.
• 3:22
  They're on different levels. The goal is not just the
• 3:25
  aesthetics, it's the person you become on that journey.
• 3:30
  And we get them to imagine that future of more confidence, more
• 3:33
  self esteem, better health and vitality.
• 3:36
  But also what was very emotive for them is that they wanted to
• 3:42
  feel more socially confident and they wanted to feel empowered to
• 3:48
  start dating again rather than just kind of living this kind of
• 3:51
  working and eating existence. And therefore we use that as the
• 3:55
  key pay off. And there's a great belief that
• 4:00
  I think is really useful in the world of dating, and that is
• 4:02
  that whatever qualities that you desire in your ideal partner,
• 4:07
  it's easier to find them if you have them in yourself.
• 4:10
  So if you want a really slim fit partner, better if you're slim
• 4:15
  and fit. If you want a very ambitious or
• 4:18
  driven partner, better if you're ambitious and driven and
• 4:22
  therefore that has a direct payoff because the more of the
• 4:26
  qualities that they wanted in their partner or these people
• 4:30
  that they'd be dating, the more that they could exude those in
• 4:33
  them self. And and I think that's a
• 4:35
  wonderful belief system to have. There's a lot going on here.
• 4:39
  It's more than just weight loss. It's a lot about the emotional
• 4:41
  resources and the framing of things.
• 4:44
  So if you've struggled to lose weight, you might get some value
• 4:46
  from this session. That said, it was calibrated to
• 4:49
  the individual that I'm working with and therefore it might be
• 4:53
  that you're not from a medical background.
• 4:55
  It might be that your goal isn't to date, but just to feel more
• 4:59
  energetic or sleep better. Your goal is the important
• 5:02
  thing. So if you do like the idea of a
• 5:05
  bespoke session, there will be a link in the show notes or the
• 5:08
  description. Or you can visit my website,
• 5:10
  adamcox.co.uk and you can book a free consultation call to
• 5:14
  discuss working with me and we'll have a chat.
• 5:17
  Because it might be that I end up being your hypnotherapist
• 5:19
  rather than just a podcast that you listen to.
• 5:22
  So if that's of interest, check that out.
• 5:24
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 5:27
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:44
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 5:52
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 5:58
  And as you exhale, feel a wonderful feeling of relief and
• 6:04
  release. And on the next outward breath,
• 6:08
  just allow your eyelids to close completely.
• 6:12
  That's it. And if you need to position your
• 6:16
  body in such a way to feel more comfortable, allow yourself to
• 6:20
  do that now. That's it.
• 6:25
  Breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 6:33
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 6:42
  Relaxed. I want you to focus.
• 6:48
  Focus on the point directly behind your eyeballs.
• 6:55
  As you focus on that sensation, take a breath deeper in than you
• 7:01
  normally would, and as you exhale, exhale for longer and
• 7:08
  just release any tension around your eyes and just feel yourself
• 7:14
  sinking into that place of pure relaxation.
• 7:22
  That's it. The deeper you breathe, the more
• 7:26
  relaxed you feel. And the more relaxed you feel
• 7:32
  the deeper you breathe. Each breath takes you deeper and
• 7:40
  deeper, relaxed. And as your body relaxes, your
• 7:46
  imagination awakens. And I want you to imagine.
• 7:52
  I want you to imagine seeing a photograph of yourself in your
• 8:01
  future with the exact body shape that you desire.
• 8:10
  I want you to see yourself looking strong, healthy, slim,
• 8:20
  and I want you to see in that photo clues of your emotional
• 8:26
  state, your confidence, your self esteem, your energy levels.
• 8:38
  And if you could imagine what it would be like in your future to
• 8:44
  have that body, but also that discipline and habits that align
• 8:53
  with your ideal self. Let me know by nodding your
• 8:56
  head. And then I want you to create a
• 9:01
  background of that image. I want you to imagine a National
• 9:07
  Park with a mountain and waterfalls, and then imagine
• 9:15
  that version of you there in that location, wearing whatever
• 9:23
  you would wear to be hiking and walking around waterfalls and
• 9:28
  mountains. And then imagine how good it
• 9:33
  would feel to float into the photo, into the scene, and
• 9:40
  imagine being there in that nature.
• 9:48
  I want you to imagine the waterfalls cascade down into a
• 9:55
  pool that then turns into a river or a stream.
• 9:59
  And I want you to imagine how good it would feel to swim in
• 10:08
  that pool of water with that body of your ideal self.
• 10:18
  Feel a sense of refreshing rejuvenation.
• 10:26
  I want you to get a feeling that when you are connected with your
• 10:32
  ideal shape, good emotions flow constantly.
• 10:41
  I want you to connect with that feeling and then imagine drying
• 10:44
  off and wearing the clothes that would be ideal for a hike.
• 10:51
  And I want you to see a mountain, a kind of mountain.
• 10:56
  It would take several hours to ascend to the top and just
• 11:02
  imagine walking up that gradient.
• 11:07
  But imagine walking up feeling light, feeling strong, filling
• 11:12
  with energy, capability, and confidence.
• 11:18
  And I want you to come to the conclusion that whatever you're
• 11:23
  doing doesn't have to be easy in order for it to be accomplished.
• 11:32
  It just has to be rewarding. And rewarding just means it
• 11:38
  rewards you in a particular way because these snacks and foods
• 11:46
  that you've been eating has been giving you short term rewards.
• 11:54
  The reward of a taste, a texture.
• 12:00
  Some people call it gratification, but what if the
• 12:07
  price of self esteem? Confidence, personal pride, and
• 12:18
  feelings of high self worth is simply the cost of turning down
• 12:29
  those things that are temporary in the short term and tend to
• 12:36
  sting you with shame and guilt anyway.
• 12:43
  The mountain to represent a journey that you're on now.
• 12:48
  A transformational journey that will change how you perceive
• 12:54
  yourself and how the world evaluates you.
• 13:03
  Because people are busy. They put people in boxes.
• 13:08
  They make false assumptions based on things that aren't true
• 13:13
  but seem true. And I want you to think of the
• 13:19
  evaluations you've made when you see someone at a similar age to
• 13:26
  you that seems to be athletic or sporty or slim or healthy.
• 13:35
  And if you're making those evaluations about that person
• 13:42
  close to your age, doesn't it make sense that other people
• 13:47
  would be making similar evaluations about you now?
• 13:55
  But also, when you change, I want you to get a feeling that
• 14:03
  you don't need discipline and self-control as much as you
• 14:10
  think you do. Discipline can help in those
• 14:21
  moments of struggle, but I want you to get a sense that what
• 14:26
  really pulls you through is duty and vision.
• 14:33
  As you imagine hiking up this mountain, I want you to think
• 14:39
  about all the study you needed to do to have the career you now
• 14:45
  have. It would have been more
• 14:50
  gratifying for you to do something easier, to just listen
• 14:58
  to music, to just read some fiction, read a comic book even.
• 15:07
  But back then, you didn't. Because what was more important
• 15:13
  than gratification was a sense of you becoming who you wanted
• 15:23
  to be. And it didn't need to be easy,
• 15:30
  it just needed to be worth it. And you did that.
• 15:37
  And I want you to awaken that belief system that something
• 15:43
  doesn't have to be easy in order to be doable.
• 15:49
  It simply has to be important enough to you.
• 15:53
  And I want you to start thinking as you continue to climb that
• 16:00
  mountain of two different futures, consider it like a game
• 16:09
  show with two doors. You can only choose one and the
• 16:17
  first doorway takes you to a future one year from now where
• 16:24
  things carry on on their current trajectory as you imagine that
• 16:33
  future. Imagine seeing yourself like
• 16:35
  you're someone else, continuing to order lots of take out food
• 16:42
  on apps, see yourself in the evenings eating chocolate or
• 16:50
  biscuits, refine carbohydrates or snacks.
• 16:58
  And I want you to see how useful that would be to increase your
• 17:05
  self esteem, how useful that strategy would be to lower your
• 17:15
  cholesterol, to increase your insulin sensitivity, see
• 17:26
  yourself day after day doing simpler things to what you have
• 17:31
  been doing. Is it useful to boost your
• 17:37
  energy levels? Is it useful to lower your body
• 17:42
  fat? Is it useful to give you more
• 17:48
  feelings of capability and confidence?
• 17:54
  No good or bad, no right or wrong.
• 17:59
  Just is it useful? Is it useful if by doing that
• 18:06
  you get more guilt and shame and less pride and satisfaction?
• 18:13
  But imagine that carrying on for a year from now.
• 18:18
  And just imagine what kind of body shape or what kind of blood
• 18:25
  test results you could expect a year from now if you continue on
• 18:36
  that same pathway. And I want you to get a sense
• 18:43
  that in the same way it wouldn't have been useful for your career
• 18:50
  to read comic books or watch music videos, it was necessary
• 18:58
  for you to do certain things to create A cause and effect
• 19:04
  probability of taking your life in a particular direction.
• 19:09
  And I want you to feel that now is no different.
• 19:18
  And I want you to imagine, considering the second door a
• 19:22
  different timeline. But I want you to imagine that
• 19:29
  version of you uses emotions like a compass.
• 19:38
  If when you do things it gives you a feeling of pride,
• 19:42
  confidence, satisfaction, a sense of high self worth, then
• 19:51
  your intuition is saying do this more often.
• 19:56
  But if what you do gives you feelings of regret, guilt and
• 20:00
  shame, it's saying this is sending you in a different
• 20:07
  direction to where you really want to go.
• 20:15
  That's in breathing in, breathing out and allow your
• 20:20
  unconscious to reveal. Those subtle changes that would
• 20:25
  be necessary to take you to that future of being slim, healthy,
• 20:34
  energetic and confidence. I want you to see that version
• 20:41
  of you could choose to eat late into the night, but doesn't want
• 20:48
  to. That version of you gets a real
• 20:56
  sense of pride and motivation whenever they go to bed hungry,
• 21:07
  knowing that human biology will make the adaptations necessary
• 21:13
  while they're sleeping. Maybe that version of you is
• 21:19
  having more real food, single ingredient foods, more foods
• 21:26
  with protein and fibre, or perhaps water.
• 21:33
  Most fruit and vegetables are high amounts of micronutrients
• 21:39
  and water. I want you to see there is one
• 21:44
  thing missing from this future that takes you in the direction
• 21:48
  that you want to go, and that is processed foods and refined
• 21:58
  carbohydrates. I want you to see that that
• 22:00
  version of you knows that you can have sugar and flour and all
• 22:08
  of those processed things, but also acknowledges that it's not
• 22:14
  useful. I want you to imagine floating
• 22:19
  up above that version of you, seeing the winds, the victories,
• 22:25
  the milestones over that year. What are you doing differently?
• 22:35
  What are you eating more of? What are you eating less of?
• 22:40
  When's your first meal of the day and when's your last meal of
• 22:43
  the day? Do you have snacks in your
• 22:47
  cupboards or not? I want you to see that there is
• 22:53
  a combination of variables that makes it inevitable that a year
• 23:00
  from now you have that slim body with high energy, brimming with
• 23:08
  health and vitality and a whole new level of confidence.
• 23:18
  And I want you to imagine getting to the top of that
• 23:20
  mountain and almost seeing your life as if it's a big long
• 23:27
  timeline. And I want you to see that there
• 23:32
  are two different futures. One year from now.
• 23:38
  You know what the status quo will give you, but I want you to
• 23:42
  observe that version of you with the highest self esteem you've
• 23:48
  had in decades, with more energy levels, more hobbies of hiking
• 23:56
  and walking. But all of those changes mainly
• 24:04
  changed how you saw yourself and you spring in your step that
• 24:14
  feeling of being the version of you you want to be.
• 24:19
  And I want you to see that version of you looking slim,
• 24:24
  dressing well, going on dates. And not just any dates, the kind
• 24:33
  of dates that would give you a feeling of excitement and
• 24:41
  passion. I want you to get a feeling.
• 24:47
  Then quite often like attracts like.
• 24:53
  The confident version of you will go on dates with confident
• 24:57
  people. The slim version of you will go
• 25:01
  on dates with slim partners. The version of you brimming with
• 25:09
  high self esteem is going on dates with other people brimming
• 25:17
  with high levels of self esteem. Some people believe that you
• 25:23
  attract what you are, and I want you to see a future where those
• 25:29
  choices enabled you to be who you were always meant to be.
• 25:40
  And all you needed to do is to do less of the things that were
• 25:46
  giving you guilt and shame and regret anyway.
• 25:52
  Because all of that guilt and shame has always been your
• 25:59
  unconscious trying to steer you in a different direction.
• 26:06
  And every time you ignored it and repeated that unuseful
• 26:10
  thing, you were telling your body and your future that you're
• 26:19
  not worthy. And yet your unconscious and
• 26:23
  your intuition refused to accept that.
• 26:29
  That's why the guilt and the shame has been there.
• 26:33
  Not to punish you, but to guide you, to help you navigate to the
• 26:40
  future that you were always meant to arrive at.
• 26:48
  And there is a part of you that never wanted to sabotage you,
• 26:54
  never wanted to lower your confidence and self esteem.
• 26:59
  It was just using food as a substitute for real connection
• 27:06
  and real happiness. But that future version of you
• 27:12
  gets more happiness and connection from real progress,
• 27:19
  real momentum and decisions that guide you towards that future
• 27:25
  version of you that you've always meant to experience if
• 27:35
  your unconscious agrees. But it's a small price to pay to
• 27:41
  have less guilt, less shame, less regret and more confidence,
• 27:46
  self esteem, and to enable your intuition to be like a sat NAV
• 27:54
  guiding you in the right direction.
• 27:57
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 28:03
  I want you to imagine floating into that future version of you
• 28:07
  and just imagine it's a first date you're about to go on.
• 28:15
  Imagine looking yourself in a full length mirror, and by the
• 28:20
  full length mirror there's all these snacks that you have been
• 28:26
  eating in the past. Chocolate, biscuits, processed
• 28:31
  foods. I want you to feel that you've
• 28:36
  got a choice. You can decide that you could
• 28:41
  eat the snacks but not want them, or you could eat the
• 28:48
  snacks and not go on the date. Whatever your unconscious is
• 28:57
  telling you is telling you what you value more.
• 29:03
  Real connection, real joy, real experiences, or just a synthetic
• 29:11
  substitute that will only give you shame and blame, guilt and
• 29:20
  regret. And if you feel that it's easy
• 29:24
  to turn those foods down because you want something much more
• 29:32
  valuable, let me know about nodding your head.
• 29:38
  That's it. You've now clearly communicated
• 29:43
  to your unconscious, and your unconscious has communicated to
• 29:46
  you what is really important and what you really desire, and
• 29:52
  these snacks just won't cut it. So it's time to float back all
• 29:58
  the way back to the here and the now.
• 30:02
  Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 30:07
  nose. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your
• 30:10
  toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 30:14
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 30:20
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 30:26
  456 more alert. 7-8. Open your eyes, open your eyes,
• 30:33
  910 wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
