• 0:07
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:10
  hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:43
  Hi. It's Adam here, and on this
• 0:45
  episode of The Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a
• 0:49
  hypnosis session that is designed to help you reduce a.
• 0:52
  Feeling of needing. Alcohol and many people become
• 0:57
  dependent on alcohol because they start to believe that it is
• 1:00
  necessary in certain occasions. And I was working with a client
• 1:05
  that felt that they couldn't be fun if they weren't drinking, or
• 1:09
  they couldn't enjoy themselves if they weren't drinking, and
• 1:12
  also that they couldn't really either relax or enjoy sex if
• 1:16
  they weren't influenced by drinking alcohol.
• 1:20
  And none of these were actually true, but there was such a deep
• 1:23
  conviction of a belief that they felt like it was.
• 1:26
  True. And when I was speaking to the
• 1:28
  client, there was evidence of them in their past where they
• 1:32
  had had moments of enjoying themselves and feeling relaxed
• 1:35
  without any kind of alcohol at all, but they'd kind of
• 1:38
  forgotten about that memory. So in this hypnosis session,
• 1:42
  you're going to hear elements of regression to enable the client
• 1:45
  that I was working with to go back to a time where they could
• 1:48
  enjoy themselves, feel relaxed, feel social without any need for
• 1:53
  alcohol, alcohol at all. But also to link that to moments
• 1:57
  of intimacy that they could actually remember times where
• 2:00
  they were intimate without needing to drink alcohol.
• 2:04
  And this is to harness the resource state to anchor that,
• 2:09
  reactivate those neural pathways.
• 2:11
  And then you're going to hear future pacing.
• 2:13
  Future pacing. Is taking that.
• 2:15
  Resourceful state and linking it into the future rather than in
• 2:20
  the past where it isn't that helpful anymore.
• 2:22
  The past is useful as a reference point, but you really
• 2:25
  want to make it so that you can feel the resourceful feelings in
• 2:29
  the context that it's actually most useful.
• 2:32
  So there's regression, there's future pacing, there's direct
• 2:34
  suggestions. There's also a couple of
• 2:36
  metaphors in there as well, and I think if you have certain,
• 2:42
  let's say, habits related to alcohol in certain occasions
• 2:45
  because of a belief that isn't true, then you will get some
• 2:49
  value from this particular session.
• 2:51
  Be aware of course, that it was created for a specific client,
• 2:57
  therefore not all of the suggestions are going to be
• 2:59
  relevant to you and your situation.
• 3:02
  So if you like the idea of having a hypnosis session that
• 3:05
  is 100% calibrated and connected to you and your situation, then
• 3:11
  there will be a link in the description where you can
• 3:14
  schedule a completely free consultation call to explore the
• 3:17
  possibility of working with me directly.
• 3:20
  Almost all of the sessions that I share are real hypnosis with
• 3:24
  real clients facing real issues. I just share my voice that's
• 3:29
  recorded, thereby keeping the confidentiality of the clients
• 3:33
  that I'm working with. It's a good way to have an
• 3:36
  amplification for the people, but it does mean that I work
• 3:41
  with people all the time. So if you feel like I might be a
• 3:44
  good hypnotherapist to work with you, check out that link in the
• 3:47
  description. For now though, you might get
• 3:50
  some value from this session. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 3:53
  place, ideally the kind of place where you're not going to be
• 3:56
  interrupted or disturbed. To relax.
• 3:59
  And enjoy this session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 4:50
  you breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath.
• 4:57
  And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to close.
• 5:04
  That's it. And as they close, feel a
• 5:11
  wonderful sense of release, letting go of feelings of
• 5:17
  tension around the eyelids, your forehead going down into your
• 5:23
  jaw. But also notice that feeling of
• 5:28
  relaxation spreading there in the neck, the shoulders starting
• 5:35
  to ripple down the arms. That's it.
• 5:42
  Become aware of the rhythm of your breath.
• 5:47
  Notice as you inhale, maybe your chest rises or your diaphragm
• 5:53
  expands. And as you exhale, notice how
• 6:01
  good it feels to feel that you're releasing stress,
• 6:06
  worries, and tension in that outward breath.
• 6:15
  Almost like the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you
• 6:21
  feel. And the more relaxed you feel,
• 6:27
  the more tension you can release on that outward breath.
• 6:33
  That's it. Feeling deeper and deeper,
• 6:38
  relaxed. That's it.
• 6:48
  I want you to think. Think of a place where for you,
• 6:53
  represents pure relaxation. Perhaps a garden or a park.
• 7:03
  Just imagine how good it would feel to be in that park or that
• 7:07
  garden barefoot. Just imagine it's a sunny day
• 7:16
  with blue skies, and you're just roaming around that park or that
• 7:22
  garden, no one else around, breathing in that fresh, clean
• 7:29
  air. And as you exhale, releasing
• 7:36
  more and more of any feelings of tension, worry or stress.
• 7:42
  And I wonder if you could imagine an extremely comfortable
• 7:48
  chair there in that park, the kind of chair where you could
• 7:57
  sit down for a moment, sink into the chair, and feel like you're
• 8:04
  drifting away into pure bliss and relaxation.
• 8:18
  I'll countdown from 5 to 1. I don't want you to imagine
• 8:23
  drifting off into a dreamlike sleep there in that place of
• 8:31
  calm, tranquility. Five, your eyelids getting
• 8:35
  heavier and heavier and heavier. That's it. 4 neck and shoulders
• 8:42
  just melting away any tension. And then three, arms getting
• 8:48
  heavier and heavier as you breathe in.
• 8:58
  Breathe in even more relaxation so your internal organs relax as
• 9:04
  three becomes 2 and then one, feeling a ripple of relaxation
• 9:13
  all the way down your legs so your whole body feels limp and
• 9:19
  loose and relaxed. And then imagine you're now in a
• 9:27
  dream like sleep, a lucid dream, the kind of dream that you have
• 9:34
  control. It also feels like a dream.
• 9:38
  And I want you to imagine there you are in that same park or
• 9:44
  garden, seeing yourself, your conscious mind, in a dreamlike
• 9:50
  sleep. Imagine lifting up one of your
• 9:53
  wrists, feeling how limp and loose your arm is, and letting
• 9:58
  go and just seeing it flop nearby.
• 10:05
  I want you to imagine seeing a puzzle, a jigsaw puzzle on a
• 10:10
  table. All of.
• 10:13
  The pieces are there, but the puzzle doesn't quite make sense.
• 10:20
  And I want you to imagine you can see yourself in your future,
• 10:31
  and there's a few pieces of the puzzle that see you smiling, but
• 10:36
  the full picture doesn't make sense yet.
• 10:40
  So just imagine that analytical part of your mind is trying to
• 10:45
  solve this puzzle, figuring out what it means by turning the
• 10:52
  pieces into a single picture. So allow your analytical mind to
• 10:57
  work on the puzzle and then allow a different part of you.
• 11:03
  We continue walking there on the grass barefoot, and that's the
• 11:10
  part that wants change. So now when you look, you can
• 11:18
  see your conscious mind fast asleep in a comfy chair, and you
• 11:25
  can see your analytical mind working on a puzzle.
• 11:31
  But I'm communicating to the part that wants change, and I
• 11:37
  want you to find a pond in this place of tranquility.
• 11:44
  Pond is dark and the sky is blue, so when you look into the
• 11:51
  pond, it looks like a reflection, a mirror made of
• 11:58
  water. And as you stare into the pond,
• 12:05
  you can't help but remember a time in your past where you were
• 12:11
  able to enjoy spending time with friends, to go on holidays, to
• 12:20
  go to restaurants and bars without any desire to drink
• 12:26
  alcohol. And the more you look at that
• 12:33
  reflection, the more you can recall, almost like you're
• 12:39
  seeing a screen, a movie taking you back to your past, to a time
• 12:48
  where alcohol wasn't even desirable.
• 12:55
  And I want you to see that time, see you smiling and having fun,
• 13:02
  eating in nice restaurants, socializing in bars, and yet you
• 13:09
  were fine with the soft drink. See that version of you to give
• 13:18
  you irrefutable evidence that you can enjoy yourself, have
• 13:26
  fun, and be fun without any alcohol whatsoever.
• 13:36
  And then just imagine floating back into that memory and
• 13:42
  feeling how you felt back then. Feel how good it felt to be
• 13:49
  socializing, having conversations, enjoying
• 13:54
  yourself. And notice how easy it was for
• 14:02
  you to accept that other people were drinking and you weren't.
• 14:07
  But just because other people were drinking didn't mean that
• 14:13
  you had to. Imagine that you're reawakening
• 14:18
  those neural pathways, the ones that enable you to feel
• 14:24
  comfortable, relaxed, completely at ease.
• 14:33
  Notice how you were breathing back then and breathe the same
• 14:36
  way. There was no expectation, no
• 14:42
  pressure, not from others and not from you, no expectation to
• 14:49
  drink and yet you could enjoy yourself.
• 14:59
  I want you to imagine around the same time, a time when you were
• 15:08
  feeling completely relaxed, comfortable in an intimate
• 15:14
  moment. A time when there was no alcohol
• 15:18
  involved and it didn't need to be.
• 15:25
  I want. You to recall how good it felt
• 15:29
  to have all of your senses on high alert.
• 15:37
  Sometimes alcohol can make mindfulness difficult, but I
• 15:47
  want you to get a sense that back then, with no alcohol, your
• 15:52
  senses were dialed all the way up.
• 15:59
  Your ears were able to pick up on the sounds, sounds of words,
• 16:06
  sounds of breathing. Your eyes were able to notice
• 16:12
  things that you wouldn't have noticed if you were under the
• 16:15
  influence. You were able to smell things,
• 16:22
  taste things you wouldn't have picked up on.
• 16:31
  If your unconscious mind is starting to let go of a belief,
• 16:37
  a belief that you need alcohol to have fun or you need alcohol
• 16:45
  to feel relaxed when having sex. If you're ready to let go of
• 16:49
  that belief, let me know by nodding your head and just
• 16:54
  imagine that garden that you were in and pulling out two
• 16:58
  trees by the roots and then imagine planting new seeds or
• 17:06
  small trees in exactly the same place.
• 17:11
  I want you to start to believe you could have more fun without
• 17:19
  alcohol. At the moment you don't need it,
• 17:25
  you can enjoy it more. I want you to get a sense that
• 17:35
  either you don't need alcohol. But if?
• 17:39
  You choose to have it. Having just one or two drinks is
• 17:45
  the perfect sweet spot, enough to enjoy, but not so much that
• 17:55
  it starts affecting your ability to truly enjoy the moment.
• 18:01
  You've planted that first tree and now think of the new tree
• 18:08
  that sex without alcohol means you can enjoy intimacy more than
• 18:17
  ever before. I want you to get a sense.
• 18:21
  Then there's sometimes that you've been intimate under the
• 18:28
  influence of alcohol and you can't even remember if it was
• 18:35
  enjoyable or not because it was so forgettable that you weren't
• 18:40
  mindful. True mindfulness means being
• 18:48
  fully present and in the moment, and I wonder how good it would
• 18:55
  feel to imagine going forwards in time but taking these new
• 19:02
  beliefs with you. The belief that you don't need
• 19:07
  alcohol. You could have more fun, more
• 19:14
  pleasure without alcohol than with it, and just allow your
• 19:19
  imagination to give you a taste of a future.
• 19:28
  Maybe you could imagine yourself in a bar or restaurant and by
• 19:33
  not drinking you're having more fun.
• 19:40
  Or maybe you could imagine a future where you have more sex,
• 19:46
  better sex, and more pleasure because alcohol isn't required.
• 19:55
  If you can get a glimpse of these futures, and these futures
• 20:00
  feel appealing to you, let me know about nodding your head.
• 20:05
  That's it. For a while now, you've hold on
• 20:11
  to a belief like Dumbo's Feather that you needed alcohol when you
• 20:18
  never did. Just like Dumbo was able to fly
• 20:24
  without the feather, you will able to enjoy more by not
• 20:31
  needing alcohol. And when you truly don't need
• 20:36
  it, then whenever you do drink it, it's from a place of simply
• 20:43
  wanting to but not needing to, giving you the ability to be
• 20:48
  more discerning, to drink slower, to really mindfully
• 20:54
  enjoy the taste but not feel that you need it.
• 21:00
  When people are using alcohol as a form of self medication, they
• 21:06
  drink it quick, not paying attention to taste and normally
• 21:12
  drink too much. Because with medication, if one
• 21:17
  pill is good, then 2 pills are better.
• 21:20
  But what if you don't need the pills at all?
• 21:24
  What if you don't need alcohol, you just thought you did, And
• 21:29
  the more you think about that, the truer it becomes.
• 21:34
  I want you to imagine feeling like you're returning back to
• 21:44
  the garden or the park, staring into that pond, feeling that
• 21:49
  you've created a bridge from the evidence of your past into the
• 21:55
  version of you in your future. And it makes you feel relaxed
• 22:03
  that this isn't just a possibility, but that it is an
• 22:08
  inevitability. And the more you experience more
• 22:15
  joy, more fun, and more pleasure without alcohol, the more that
• 22:20
  belief becomes reinforced, giving you even more fun, even
• 22:25
  more pleasure, and even more enjoyment.
• 22:31
  So as you leave that pond, you imagine walking back, seeing the
• 22:39
  analytical part of you working on a puzzle, and as you look
• 22:44
  over their shoulder, you can see the puzzle taking shape.
• 22:51
  I want you to see an image in that puzzle of you in the near
• 22:54
  future, in a situation that before you would have needed
• 23:00
  alcohol, but now you don't see that future version of you
• 23:09
  enjoying something more because alcohol isn't present.
• 23:17
  Nick dawns on you that this puzzle was clear all along to
• 23:25
  change that thing you've been using as a crutch by now,
• 23:30
  believing that it was a barrier. A barrier to fun, a barrier to
• 23:36
  pleasure, not the stepping stone towards it.
• 23:41
  The more you entertain that thought, the truer it becomes,
• 23:45
  creating an insatiable desire to find evidence so you know that
• 23:52
  it becomes true. Step into that analytical
• 23:58
  version of you and leave the finished puzzle and walk towards
• 24:03
  that conscious part, fast asleep there in a chair.
• 24:07
  And then step into that version of you feeling that all parts
• 24:13
  are now integrated and as you leave the chair you can see you
• 24:21
  can see 2 new trees there in the garden or the park that weren't
• 24:24
  there before. New beliefs.
• 24:29
  Beliefs abound. What truly enables you to have
• 24:35
  more fun, enjoyment and comfort? I want you to leave that park,
• 24:45
  that garden, and feel like you're floating all the way back
• 24:48
  to the present moment, to the here and the now.
• 24:55
  That's it. Very soon I will count from 1:00
• 24:58
  to 10:00 to awaken you. But take a deep breath in
• 25:02
  through your nose and out through your nose.
• 25:08
  Start to wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 25:10
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 25:14
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 25:19
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert. 7-8.
• 25:28
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 25:31
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
