• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:47
  for bereavement, for trauma. And to some.
• 0:52
  Extent a way of mitigating grief and I was working with a client
• 0:59
  that was in a plane crash a light small basically it's a.
• 1:06
  Seaplane. The kind of ones that you see
• 1:08
  floating on the ocean before they take off and it and it.
• 1:11
  Crashed and there. Was a tragedy.
• 1:14
  A few people died, including the partner of the client that I was
• 1:17
  working with, and something fascinating happened while they
• 1:22
  were submerged underwater and that is that they had a thought
• 1:27
  that it wouldn't be OK if their children lost both their
• 1:35
  parents. And for some.
• 1:36
  Reason that unlocked a real intent to get.
• 1:42
  Out and almost have. Clarity of thought in the midst
• 1:47
  of. A crash and and that that felt.
• 1:51
  Profound to them. So what you're going to hear in
• 1:53
  this hypnosis session is doing what I tend to do if someone's
• 1:57
  been in a traumatic situation is to ensure that.
• 2:02
  The memory. Is perceived from a
• 2:04
  disassociated perspective rather than relived one of the
• 2:09
  attributes or elements of PTSD. Is to relive.
• 2:16
  A horrible moment, as if it's happening in the present from a
• 2:18
  first person perspective. So having this element of stage
• 2:23
  disassociation. Where it's seen.
• 2:25
  Almost like you're watching like a movie on a screen can be very
• 2:28
  helpful. To reduce the.
• 2:30
  Probability of some symptoms of PTSD to keep the memory but have
• 2:35
  a more. Objective view.
• 2:37
  Of that memory. The second key part of this is
• 2:41
  that they wanted to feel. That they.
• 2:45
  Survived for a reason. And the great thing about
• 2:50
  therapy is that even if you can't change what actually
• 2:53
  happened, you know, we can't go back and change time and
• 2:56
  actually change the laws of physics as to actually what
• 2:59
  happened. But you can change the meaning
• 3:02
  and the narrative that you give. Things.
• 3:05
  A good example. Of that is if someone is.
• 3:10
  Let's say abused or physically assaulted.
• 3:13
  For one person, that could mean that they feel like a victim and
• 3:16
  they hideaway from the world. And for someone else, it
• 3:19
  inspires them to get stronger and perhaps even protect other
• 3:24
  people. So it's not the thing itself,
• 3:26
  but the meaning that you give the thing.
• 3:29
  And this client really wanted to feel that they lived.
• 3:32
  For a. Reason.
• 3:33
  And even if they didn't know exactly what that reason was,
• 3:36
  they knew it would be positive and not just good for their
• 3:40
  children, but good for the world.
• 3:42
  And I appreciate that this is a very specific hypnosis
• 3:47
  recording. And the probability that you're
• 3:49
  listening to this in the aftermath of a plane crash where
• 3:54
  you're the survivor and someone you love isn't, is incredibly
• 3:58
  low. So don't listen to this hypnosis
• 4:01
  session from the perspective of. Relevancy of that.
• 4:04
  Kind, but more from the broad message that if you are alive
• 4:10
  right now, you are alive for a reason Lots of people have had
• 4:16
  near misses in their life you know we we've all got.
• 4:20
  Two or three stories of if. Something went slightly
• 4:23
  different. We wouldn't.
• 4:24
  Exist. And therefore it's possible for
• 4:28
  almost all of us to. Have this idea?
• 4:30
  That we are alive for a reason. And I want you to listen to this
• 4:34
  hypnosis session from that lens so it becomes more about how it
• 4:40
  can become empowering for you. Or you can, you know, because I
• 4:44
  know lots of hypnotherapists listen to the show.
• 4:46
  Just my approach of dealing with someone in the aftermath of a
• 4:52
  tragedy of a traumatic event and the grief of losing someone they
• 4:56
  they love. So you can look at it from an
• 4:58
  educational perspective. But if you do want to really
• 5:01
  kind of extrapolate and utilize something empowering for you,
• 5:07
  consider the the fact that statistically there is something
• 5:13
  like trillions to one odds that. You wouldn't exist.
• 5:18
  You know, if you look at it from a biological level, from a
• 5:21
  cosmic level, the probability that we are even alive in this
• 5:24
  moment is incredibly small. And yet we.
• 5:26
  Are and therefore you can look at it from the perspective that
• 5:29
  you are alive for a reason and the more that you lean.
• 5:33
  Into that reason. The more fulfilled your life
• 5:36
  will be, obviously, because it is so niche.
• 5:39
  It does. Highlight the point that I do
• 5:41
  very tailored sessions for clients and if there's maybe a
• 5:45
  complex issue that you're dealing with right now and
• 5:49
  you're thinking, well, a hypnotherapist couldn't help
• 5:50
  with that. Because it's.
• 5:52
  So niche, it's so unusual or it's so rare.
• 5:56
  Maybe worth having a conversation with me.
• 5:58
  Ioffer free consultation calls. We can have a chat and we'll get
• 6:02
  a sense of whether or not my approach might be helpful for
• 6:06
  you. It may be, it may not be, but we
• 6:09
  can find out on a consultation call pretty quick.
• 6:11
  So if that appeals to you, that specific.
• 6:14
  Issue that you've. Got that?
• 6:15
  Maybe you don't think other people would understand.
• 6:17
  Let's have a chat about it and we can see if we can work on
• 6:20
  that specifically for you. In the meantime, have a listen
• 6:23
  to this because you might find value either in the story of
• 6:28
  resilience that this client definitely had or some way of
• 6:33
  finding more value, purpose, and meaning in your life.
• 6:36
  So find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be
• 6:38
  disturbed. Relax and I won't say enjoy the
• 6:41
  session, but I will say experience the.
• 6:43
  Session take a deep.
• 7:06
  Breath. In and as.
• 7:09
  You breathe in. Feel that you're breathing in a
• 7:13
  feeling of relaxation, and as you exhale, allow your eyelids
• 7:20
  to relax so much that they close.
• 7:25
  And as they close, notice how much more of your attention you
• 7:31
  can give to the sound of my voice as you continue to breathe
• 7:38
  in relaxation and exhale tension.
• 7:47
  The more relaxed you feel. The deeper you can breathe, and
• 7:54
  the deeper you breathe, the longer you exhale.
• 8:01
  And the more. It feels like tension or perhaps
• 8:08
  even sadness could be released from your body.
• 8:14
  No need to hide anything. No need to bury anything.
• 8:20
  This is the time to release. Positive.
• 8:26
  Emotions are flowing in. Through your nose.
• 8:30
  But as you exhale, feel that now is the time to just let go of
• 8:40
  anything that is not needed. Take an even deeper breath in
• 8:57
  and start to scan your body for any clues of tension or stress.
• 9:04
  Every emotion. Has a location.
• 9:08
  Tension can be around the jaw, the neck and the shoulders.
• 9:13
  Anxiety around the gut, and sometimes sadness feels like
• 9:19
  it's around the throat or the heart.
• 9:23
  Scan your body and feel that just by thinking of that
• 9:29
  location, you're releasing whatever that emotion may be.
• 9:41
  Consider breathing like a transfusion, breathing in what
• 9:46
  your body needs and exhaling what it doesn't, and feel
• 9:53
  yourself sinking into a sense of deep comfort and ease.
• 9:59
  And with each breath, just let your mind drift, feeling like
• 10:07
  you're floating or sinking effortlessly, like a feather
• 10:14
  caught in a gentle breeze. And as you settle into.
• 10:21
  This peaceful state. Imagine yourself stepping.
• 10:26
  Into a place. Of quiet.
• 10:28
  Observation a space beyond time. Beyond the weight of the past,
• 10:42
  where you can see everything with a sense of clarity and
• 10:46
  understanding and use the power of your.
• 10:53
  Imagination to imagine. A doorway that leads to your own
• 11:02
  private cinema. Imagine.
• 11:05
  Walking through the door, finding a comfortable.
• 11:09
  Seat and seeing a huge screen reminding yourself you are in a.
• 11:16
  Room. Looking at a screen, you are
• 11:21
  safe. And then perhaps imagine on that
• 11:29
  screen seeing an island perhaps. Perhaps seeing boats, the sea,
• 11:49
  maybe you can see the choppiness of the waves or a calm sea.
• 11:59
  I want you to get a sense that you were not in the sea on an.
• 12:03
  Island on a. Boat.
• 12:06
  You were in a chair watching a screen of these things.
• 12:17
  You now a silent watcher, and I want you to observe a seaplane.
• 12:27
  Notice the colour of it, the shape of it, just about to take
• 12:34
  off. I want you to see.
• 12:41
  From the comfort. Of that chair looking at that
• 12:43
  screen, the seaplane attempt to take off then something happens
• 12:53
  and the plane nose dives back into the sea submerged
• 13:00
  underwater. I want you to get a sense.
• 13:07
  Then you know that there are people on that plane.
• 13:13
  There is a. Pilot.
• 13:14
  On that plane, but you're just seeing it all on a screen.
• 13:23
  I want you to get a sense there is someone that looks just like
• 13:27
  you on that plane under the water.
• 13:38
  I want you to get a sense that as you're observing this, you
• 13:42
  witness something like a guiding force or a whisper of wisdom, a
• 13:49
  message that just comes. Through the chaos.
• 13:53
  Imagine a thought being teleported or placed in the mind
• 14:00
  of that person that looks just like you.
• 14:05
  The children can't. Lose both their parents as you
• 14:10
  imagine that thought being placed in the mind of that
• 14:13
  person that looks like you see resourcefulness being unlocked,
• 14:24
  knowledge of what to try and what to do and see what that
• 14:29
  version of you did. Almost like you're seeing it
• 14:33
  through the lens of an. Underwater camera.
• 14:39
  Maybe see yourself and strapping a seat belt swimming up,
• 14:45
  attempting to gasp an air bubble.
• 14:52
  See the way in which you were able to get through a broken
• 14:58
  window. And I want you to get a sense
• 15:06
  that what if this thought didn't originate within you?
• 15:11
  What if it? Carried something greater,
• 15:13
  something beyond you. Maybe it was the voice of
• 15:20
  someone, someone you loved, coming from them, straight into
• 15:30
  your mind like like a telepathic thought.
• 15:38
  Or perhaps it was an Angel guiding you, reminding you that
• 15:49
  you still had more to do, more to give and more to become.
• 15:58
  And as you observe this moment, you realise that thought was
• 16:05
  like a key. It unlocked a strength, a
• 16:10
  resourcefulness, a tenacity, a willpower you had gathered
• 16:16
  throughout your life. And what if it was that strength
• 16:22
  that enabled that? Person that.
• 16:25
  Looks just like you to escape. Against all odds, they survived.
• 16:40
  And now, as you watch from this distant perspective, perhaps a
• 16:46
  higher perspective, What if you begin to see a deeper truth?
• 16:55
  You survived for a reason, the chances were small, and yet you
• 17:03
  made it through. And because of that, you simply
• 17:08
  must be here for a purpose. Primarily.
• 17:14
  For your children to give them love, to guide them, to raise
• 17:19
  them with even more strength and wisdom to assist.
• 17:23
  In whichever. Way you can, but also perhaps
• 17:29
  for something beyond that, something bigger.
• 17:35
  Than you. Bigger than the accident, a
• 17:40
  greater meaning waiting to unfold.
• 17:49
  And now that screens go blank. But still there in that comfy
• 17:53
  chair, in that private cinema. But now you're seeing your
• 17:58
  future, see yourself stepping forward in time a year from now,
• 18:04
  five years from now, perhaps even further.
• 18:10
  And as you see this future on that screen, you see a life
• 18:16
  shaped not by tragedy but by transformation.
• 18:22
  You see yourself strong or resilient, living not just for
• 18:26
  survival, but with intention, with impact, and you.
• 18:31
  See the resources. The knowledge, the.
• 18:33
  Compassion you have. All of that things that you've
• 18:37
  accumulated through your life, all being deployed in ways that
• 18:42
  help others, and your intuition will tell you sooner or later.
• 18:52
  Through a thought. And idea and epiphany.
• 18:56
  A voice that just seems to be there.
• 19:01
  What this purpose, this meaning will be perhaps something
• 19:07
  selfless, just as other people have done selfless,
• 19:13
  compassionate things for you. Maybe you end up paying it
• 19:18
  forward to someone else. Someone.
• 19:21
  That can never. Return the favour.
• 19:24
  That in turn may end up helping someone else in a positive way,
• 19:29
  creating a wonderful ripple effect that ripples all around
• 19:34
  the world. What if you can harness your
• 19:43
  intellect, your knowledge, your skills to vibrate a wonderful
• 19:53
  frequency that resonates with the world?
• 20:03
  And even in this future, get a sense of something.
• 20:07
  Profound that even. From the darkest moments, light
• 20:12
  can emerge, and even from the worst pain, healing can be
• 20:17
  found. That even in tragedy, treasures
• 20:24
  can be uncovered. As you breathe deeply in and
• 20:32
  out, allow yourself to accept the truth.
• 20:38
  You survived for a reason. You are here for a purpose that
• 20:43
  your life, your love, your presence has meaning and feel.
• 20:50
  This knowledge settling. Deep within your heart and feel
• 20:54
  it resonating in your soul. And know that as you walk
• 20:59
  forward, you do sue with the unseen presence of love still
• 21:06
  guiding you, still watching over you, still whispering
• 21:13
  encouragement in your quiet moments.
• 21:15
  And when you feel a growing sense of that deep purpose, even
• 21:25
  if it's yet to be revealed, just know that it's there and it's
• 21:32
  now time to return. Return to the here and now with
• 21:35
  a new feeling of perspective. So take a deep breath in through
• 21:42
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 21:46
  Start to wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 21:49
  Start to calibrate you here and now in this moment as I now
• 21:55
  count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 22:00
  Starting to count. 123 waking up, 456 more alert. 7-8 open.
