  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 Adam's 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 now. One of the things that I love to
• 0:42
  do is use metaphor. And when I first became a
• 0:46
  hypnotherapist, I did lots of weight loss hypnotherapy to help
• 0:52
  people lose weight. And one of the things that was
• 0:54
  very popular back then, about 12 years ago, was a virtual gastric
• 0:58
  band. And it's almost like a virtual
• 1:01
  version of bariatric surgery. And the actual surgery has this
• 1:05
  kind of band around the stomach, which makes it smaller, which
• 1:08
  reduces appetite because the stomach is physically smaller.
• 1:12
  The virtual gastric band is like taking clients on a hypnotic
• 1:15
  version of that. So they imagine having the
• 1:17
  surgery, not actually having the surgery, but imagining it, and
• 1:21
  then acting as if their stomach is smaller.
• 1:23
  And that actually works for a lot of people because their body
• 1:27
  acts in accordance as if that belief is true.
• 1:30
  Now, I've heard a lot over the last two years about different
• 1:35
  forms of ketamine therapy. Now, when I was growing up,
• 1:39
  ketamine was described as a horse tranquilizer.
• 1:42
  It's a recreational drug and all of those kind of things.
• 1:46
  But more recently, there's been a lot more research in the
• 1:49
  medical usage of ketamine linked to neuroplasticity.
• 1:54
  What this hypnosis session does is it creates a virtual ketamine
• 1:59
  infusion therapy. So there is no ketamine
• 2:02
  involved. It is the going through the
• 2:04
  process and the client that I was working with was
• 2:08
  experiencing ketamine infusion therapy.
• 2:11
  They knew the process. They knew what it was like to
• 2:13
  have the catheter in their arm and the drip going in and the
• 2:16
  duration and their preparation and their intentions they would
• 2:19
  set. And what this did for them is it
• 2:22
  gave them a virtual experience to work alongside their actual
• 2:27
  ketamine infusion therapy. But the nature of this is that
• 2:31
  whether you've had ketamine before or you haven't, you could
• 2:35
  treat it like a hypnotic version of that.
• 2:38
  Now with those kind of things, it's very, very good to be
• 2:41
  intentional. And I would say what do you want
• 2:45
  the ketamine infusion therapy to do for you?
• 2:48
  For some people, they want it to help with a particular issue.
• 2:51
  And that might be an autoimmune issue.
• 2:53
  It might be some form of chronic fatigue.
• 2:57
  It might be there is depression and and things like that.
• 3:01
  Now this is hypnosis. This is not medical stuff.
• 3:05
  I'm not recommending ketamine therapy.
• 3:08
  What I would say is if ketamine infusion therapy or any ketamine
• 3:11
  therapy is of interest, the way to go about that is to do your
• 3:15
  research online, then have a conversation with your doctor or
• 3:18
  medical practitioner. What this is, is a hypnotic
• 3:22
  metaphor and if you've wondered what the process might be like,
• 3:27
  well then whether you've had it or haven't had it, this gives
• 3:30
  you a virtual experience and it is hypnosis.
• 3:34
  Now the suggestions link to the idea of being intentional and
• 3:38
  having changes, and for this client, it was about healing and
• 3:42
  having more energy and clarity. It may be different for you, so
• 3:46
  let me know in the comments whether you like this kind of
• 3:48
  virtual, let's say, medical treatments like the bariatric
• 3:52
  surgery and this infusion therapy.
• 3:53
  If you do, I'll do more of it, but equally, if you don't, let
• 3:55
  me know as well. I always appreciate the
• 3:57
  feedback. For now though, I want you to
• 3:59
  find a quiet, comfortable place, the kind of place where you're
• 4:02
  not going to be distracted or disturbed and just relax and
• 4:06
  enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:45
  you breathe in, breathe in and slow, long, relaxing breath.
• 4:57
  And as you exhale, feel that wonderful feeling of release, as
• 5:10
  if you're able to let go of any stress, any worries, any
• 5:19
  tension, where each breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 5:35
  Relaxed. Now find that rhythm of your
• 5:43
  breathing, breathing in for longer, and as you exhale, allow
• 5:53
  that outward breath to carry on for longer than it normally
• 5:56
  would, so that each breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 6:06
  Relaxed, and the more relaxed you feel, the deeper you
• 6:12
  breathe. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 6:17
  more you release. And as your body relaxes, your
• 6:23
  imagination awakens. And I wonder if you can imagine
• 6:31
  walking on a particular route toward a clinic, and maybe it's
• 6:42
  a clinic you've been to before, or maybe it's a clinic that your
• 6:49
  imagination would like you to go to.
• 6:54
  But I want you to imagine what it would feel like to walk the
• 7:02
  rhythm of your steps now. You breathe.
• 7:09
  When you walk the freshness, coolness or warmth in the air,
• 7:19
  you get the sense that there's no rush, no hurry, that you've
• 7:24
  timed this well. There is an appointment at the
• 7:29
  clinic and you have plenty of time to walk there at your own
• 7:39
  pace. Then maybe you're walking alone,
• 7:46
  or maybe there's a companion walking alongside you.
• 7:51
  Your imagination will decide what is true for you right now,
• 7:58
  but I want you to imagine you're carrying a rucksack filled with
• 8:06
  wonderful things to help enhance an upcoming experience.
• 8:14
  This rucksack does not feel like a burden.
• 8:19
  It feels like it's filled with useful things to take a good
• 8:27
  experience and make it better. Perhaps you can even picture the
• 8:35
  things inside the rucksack. Objects of warmth, of comfort,
• 8:45
  of intentional care. And each step toward that clinic
• 8:56
  is a step away from effort and a step towards support.
• 9:05
  And I want you to feel that your body already knows this walk,
• 9:12
  and your body associates this direction with healing, with
• 9:20
  intention, with possibility. And as you walk, imagine your
• 9:40
  nervous system settling down, calming even before you arrive
• 9:49
  at that clinic. And then imagine arriving at the
• 9:55
  clinic and perhaps outside, someone that you care for and
• 10:03
  cares for you is waiting for you.
• 10:05
  Or maybe they're already inside in the waiting room.
• 10:16
  I want you to imagine that as you walk through the doors of
• 10:22
  that clinic, it feels like you're passing a threshold,
• 10:28
  moving from intending to be somewhere to being at that very
• 10:37
  place. So imagine that you're now in
• 10:42
  the waiting room. Imagine sitting down, perhaps.
• 10:49
  Imagine drinking a warm cup of tea.
• 10:57
  Perhaps you can imagine the sensation of the warmth of the
• 11:03
  tea in that cup in your hands, and feel that it's grounding,
• 11:09
  comforting, that your companion is nearby and their presence is
• 11:17
  familiar, supportive, unforced. And notice how you don't need to
• 11:27
  explain anything. Just being here in the clinic
• 11:34
  together is enough. And sometimes in life and in the
• 11:44
  imagination, time can become distorted.
• 11:51
  Time can feel like it's slowing or speeding up and your body
• 11:56
  understands, but nothing is demanded of you here.
• 12:03
  You're just waiting, Waiting to move forward.
• 12:12
  And as you sit, feel that nervous system dropping down to
• 12:18
  another level. That's it.
• 12:23
  And maybe breathing slows down or relaxation is enhanced.
• 12:31
  But give permission to let go, to really relax.
• 12:38
  You are safe and supported here. And imagine a doctor arrives.
• 12:49
  Maybe it's a familiar face, or maybe someone new, but they are
• 12:54
  calm, competent, unhurried. And imagine they lead you
• 13:02
  through long corridors. There's the sound of footsteps,
• 13:07
  the rhythm of movement. And imagine every door in that
• 13:12
  corridor represents new possibilities, but you're
• 13:19
  choosing to be led by the Doctor to a specific room.
• 13:27
  The Doctor has the keys. And imagine standing there in
• 13:33
  front of the door with the Doctor and your companion.
• 13:38
  And as I count down from 5 to 1, you will imagine the Doctor
• 13:45
  unlocking the door, opening the door, and walking through the
• 13:49
  door. And you will follow 5.
• 13:54
  Hear the sound of the key going into the lock 4.
• 14:01
  The key is turned and the lock is opened three.
• 14:06
  The handle is turned and the door is open 2.
• 14:12
  You all walk. Through the door and 1:00 the
• 14:16
  door is closed behind you. The door is open because you are
• 14:23
  wanted and expected. You belong here in this room,
• 14:32
  and all three of you together in that room connect to a sense of
• 14:41
  optimism and positivity there in the treatment room.
• 14:55
  And imagine talking briefly about progress and dosage,
• 15:00
  connecting to a real sense of reassurance.
• 15:06
  And the doctor's words carry confidence that this session
• 15:12
  will go well. And when the doctor leaves to
• 15:17
  prepare, you and your companion begin the ritual.
• 15:27
  And this is where something important happens.
• 15:32
  Through intention. You're not just preparing for
• 15:38
  treatment, you are creating a ceremony.
• 15:49
  Picture then blue fitness mat, the winter coat, the heated
• 15:57
  blanket and then that cozy blanket with its texture,
• 16:04
  colour, fabric, pillows placed with care, one for your head and
• 16:16
  one later that will gently relax over your eyes.
• 16:25
  And maybe you notice a particular smell from a
• 16:31
  particular wood pine, like grounded, ancient, a particular
• 16:40
  smell that lets you know that you are safe.
• 16:46
  You felt this way before, but from this point onwards this
• 16:51
  smell will activate feelings of safety.
• 16:57
  You are safe and notice how warmth gathers around you.
• 17:06
  Hot water bottles, any coldness in hands or feet are just
• 17:15
  temporary, letting you know that a transition will take place in
• 17:23
  temperature as well in the neural plasticity of your brain.
• 17:31
  Cold won't be here for long because you have built a
• 17:37
  ceremonial nest, and in doing so your unconscious receives a
• 17:47
  clear message that this is a place of safety, learning, and
• 17:58
  wonderful changes. Imagine hearing the doctor
• 18:13
  return, and imagine the position of the doctor in relation to
• 18:20
  you. Perhaps there, close to your
• 18:23
  feet, maybe your companion, closer to your head.
• 18:30
  You feel supported, connected. Maybe you feel the area on your
• 18:38
  arm being cleaned. Maybe the smell, the smell of
• 18:47
  those swabs. Making sure that that area on
• 18:55
  that vein is clean, you are safe.
• 19:04
  Maybe there is a coolness on that area.
• 19:10
  Positive intention. This is professional.
• 19:14
  Imagine the vein is chosen, and imagine the catheter is
• 19:23
  inserted, secure, gently. You knew it would happen because
• 19:32
  you were told. And as you look up, notice the
• 19:39
  glass bottle clear, transparent, and see the tube descending all
• 19:49
  the way down into your arm. Gravity doing the work.
• 19:58
  No force, no rush. And that flow regulator reminds
• 20:04
  you that this can always be adjusted, slow down or flow
• 20:14
  increased. But just before the trip begins,
• 20:21
  you set an intention. And perhaps that intention is
• 20:33
  linked to a thought for the future, or connected to a
• 20:40
  message, a memory, a person, a feeling that connects you to
• 20:47
  something good, something stable, something real,
• 20:57
  something human. And imagine the doctor starts
• 21:06
  the drip by adjusting that flow regulator.
• 21:11
  And perhaps for the next 20 to 30 minutes, the doctor is aware
• 21:22
  of what's happening but is doing their thing just as you do
• 21:29
  yours. Imagine perhaps adjusting
• 21:37
  headphones, placing A scented pillow over your eyes, adjusting
• 21:49
  a blanket. Warmth surrounds you.
• 21:55
  Music begins. Music and frequencies of Theta
• 22:03
  rhythms and slow breathing. And now you simply notice what
• 22:14
  you notice. Nothing to analyse and nothing
• 22:20
  to control. And you may become aware of
• 22:25
  sensations, perhaps the heaviness of your tongue, a
• 22:33
  drifting sensation, changes in perception of weight and
• 22:40
  lightness, of movement, balance and equilibrium.
• 22:48
  Curiosity replaces concern, and underneath it all is a constant
• 23:02
  feeling, a signal that you can tell yourself, now I am safe,
• 23:13
  and you will already accept that to be true.
• 23:17
  And so your mind becomes more flexible, requiring less effort.
• 23:24
  But this is a curious learning state and as you rest here, feel
• 23:37
  that your mind resonates with certain ideas, beliefs and ways
• 23:46
  of thinking. That this treatment is enhancing
• 23:56
  your healing journey. That you are moving towards a
• 24:04
  good life. That your neural pathways are
• 24:10
  willing and able to change, still connected to that
• 24:17
  foundation. That you are safe and supported,
• 24:27
  That you know you can trust the people around you and the
• 24:32
  process. But you might also realise just
• 24:40
  how much you are connected to positive intentions, ideas and
• 24:48
  frequencies that your mind can learn and relearn.
• 24:57
  Whatever you consciously or unconsciously choose, because
• 25:04
  your unconscious already knows what changes are needed.
• 25:12
  Give permission for your unconscious to make whatever
• 25:19
  tune changes your unconscious chooses to enhance that ability
• 25:26
  to manifest that good life. But you can be proud of your
• 25:32
  progress and also just how tenacious you are.
• 25:41
  Many would have accepted an idea, a false idea, that nothing
• 25:49
  can be done, nothing can be tried.
• 25:50
  But not you. This right now is evidence of
• 25:59
  your resolve, that tenacious determination to find a way to
• 26:10
  open a previously locked door. And whatever happens, you will
• 26:19
  be OK. And these are not affirmations,
• 26:28
  they are recognitions. Your system already knows them
• 26:35
  to be true. These are just reminders, and
• 26:44
  sometimes under the influence of something that enhances that
• 26:50
  neural plasticity. An idea, a thought, an emotional
• 26:59
  perception may arise because your unconscious needs to bring
• 27:08
  something from the unconscious into the conscious.
• 27:15
  Maybe it's an insight, an epiphany, a glimpse of a future,
• 27:22
  like a premonition. Allow whatever your mind wants
• 27:27
  to show you. No judgement, pure curiosity.
• 27:42
  And then gradually imagine that last container.
• 27:53
  The infusion completes. Gravity has done its job.
• 28:01
  Imagine that the catheter is removed.
• 28:06
  No more tube, nothing in your arm.
• 28:10
  The area is tended to. Your eyes are open.
• 28:20
  You adjust your body and imagine warm tears poured and feel the
• 28:34
  weight of that tea cup in your hand, the sensation in your
• 28:40
  mouth as you feel the infusions continuing to impact your mind.
• 28:51
  Body sensations. And then imagine writing in your
• 28:57
  journal, not to capture everything, but just to echo and
• 29:12
  reaffirm those firing neurons, words, colours, fragments.
• 29:22
  Write them there, in that colourful book.
• 29:26
  And then maybe you articulate impressions or experiences with
• 29:30
  your companion and there is a lightness now, a subtle
• 29:38
  optimism. Not excitement, but something
• 29:43
  steadier, something truer. And you remain in the room.
• 29:58
  Maybe 30 more minutes, nothing else required.
• 30:03
  Your nervous system continues integrating.
• 30:08
  Connections settle, positive connections solidify.
• 30:14
  And when it's time, imagine packing your things carefully.
• 30:23
  The blanket, the tea, headphones, hot water bottles
• 30:31
  all back in the rucksack, shoes on, coat on.
• 30:39
  And as you leave the clinic, I want you to feel that this was
• 30:45
  useful, this was beneficial. This was meaningful, and without
• 30:54
  forcing it, you begin unconsciously, unprompted, to
• 31:02
  imagine a future. Not dramatic and certainly not
• 31:08
  perfect, but a future of progress, a desirable future, a
• 31:18
  good life possible. And now, gently, on that journey
• 31:32
  back to your home, allow your mind to take you back to the
• 31:40
  here and the now. As you take a deep breath in
• 31:44
  through your nose and out through your nose.
• 31:50
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 31:52
  Because very soon I will count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 31:56
  you. And you will awaken feeling like
• 32:03
  you've experienced something useful, beneficial, and
• 32:13
  meaningful. Starting to count. 123 Waking up
