  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.
• 0:39
  Hi, it's. Adam here now.
• 0:42
  This is quite a specialist hypnosis session because it was
• 0:47
  created for a client that was about to have a mastectomy.
• 0:53
  So surgery for the removal of breasts because they had.
• 0:58
  A. Tumor.
• 0:59
  Breast cancer and they were going to go through a removal of
• 1:03
  breast, the mastectomy and then plastic surgery to.
• 1:07
  Have the. New breasts to maintain and.
• 1:11
  Enhance the. The shape.
• 1:13
  Obviously they were apprehensive about the surgery, so this
• 1:17
  hypnosis session was designed to do 2 key things.
• 1:21
  One help them feel relaxed. And calm and.
• 1:27
  Empowered by what was happening rather than daunted.
• 1:30
  And then secondly, to give it meanings of fast healing and
• 1:35
  positivity that everything was going to go well.
• 1:39
  Now this was for a very specific case.
• 1:44
  It's unlikely if you're listening to this that you're
• 1:47
  just about to go through this very specific surgery in the
• 1:50
  same way that the client was, but there are lots and lots of
• 1:56
  empowering suggestions throughout this.
• 1:59
  So if you have any form of surgery on the horizon, you
• 2:02
  might find this useful. Or if you have had surgery and
• 2:06
  you want to hear hear healing messages, you also might find
• 2:11
  this session quite useful now because it was so bespoke.
• 2:15
  Ignore any suggestion that is not relevant.
• 2:17
  Hone into the ones that are and if you like the idea of working
• 2:22
  with me directly to have a bespoke.
• 2:24
  Session I would. Encourage you to look for the
• 2:26
  links in the description and there you'll find out how to
• 2:29
  explore working with me one to one, rather than listening to
• 2:33
  the recordings that were made for other people.
• 2:35
  So if that's of interest, check that out.
• 2:38
  For now though, I want you to find a quiet, relaxed place.
• 2:41
  The kind of place where you're not going to be distracted or
• 2:43
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:12
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 3:21
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 3:27
  And as you exhale, give permission to release any
• 3:38
  tension, any anxieties, any worries.
• 3:46
  Just allow the possibility that anything that's getting in the
• 3:55
  way of relaxation or optimism isn't necessary here.
• 4:05
  Breathing in resource for relaxation and exhaling tension
• 4:16
  and just scan your body from the top of your head down to the
• 4:21
  tips of your toes like a scan. Looking for any clues if muscles
• 4:30
  or tendons tensing when they don't need to.
• 4:34
  Tightness in the jaw, around the neck or the shoulders.
• 4:41
  Sometimes tension is hiding in the tiny muscles of the forehead
• 4:46
  or even in a finger or a toe. So as you breathe in that
• 4:53
  resourceful feeling of relaxation, let go of any ideas
• 5:02
  of holding on to tension. Start to imagine what your body
• 5:07
  would feel like if your limbs were like the limbs of a puppet
• 5:14
  with no strings, just loose and floppy, and relax.
• 5:20
  That's it. And I wonder if you can notice
• 5:26
  that the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you feel.
• 5:34
  And the more relaxed you feel the deeper you breathe.
• 5:42
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 5:54
  In fact, you might allow yourself to elongate the breath
• 6:00
  even more, breathing in slow and long.
• 6:09
  And as you exhale, just allow that exhale to keep on breathing
• 6:16
  out. And as your breaths get longer,
• 6:26
  you are activating the part of your nervous system that can
• 6:31
  rest, digest and relax. And maybe your heart rate slows
• 6:39
  down slightly, your muscles let go of that tension.
• 6:46
  Maybe certain nerves activate and others become less
• 6:53
  sensitive. I want you to think of a switch
• 7:01
  or a dial inside. It starts to reduce those
• 7:06
  hormones like cortisol or adrenaline, increase those
• 7:13
  neurotransmitters that know how to relax.
• 7:21
  Just allow your body to move gently toward a state where
• 7:25
  healing mechanisms work optimally.
• 7:33
  That's it. You already understand
• 7:37
  Physiology, and you already know how expectation and relaxation
• 7:45
  influence the chemistry of the body.
• 7:50
  This is not about wishful thinking or believing something
• 7:54
  untrue. This is about allowing the body
• 8:01
  to enter the most supportive state possible, so as your
• 8:10
  breathing settles into a slow and steady rhythm, you can allow
• 8:17
  your mind to drift to a memory that represents love, safety and
• 8:26
  connection. I want you to imagine looking at
• 8:32
  photos of your wedding day, see who was there.
• 8:41
  Maybe there was a celebration, friends and family all gathered
• 8:47
  together and you know the year, you know the date.
• 8:56
  And I want you to find those photos of you smiling, not just
• 9:02
  looking happy, but being happy. And I want you to imagine
• 9:09
  bringing those photos to life, hearing the music, that ambient
• 9:16
  sound of conversation and laughter.
• 9:21
  And then I want you to imagine stepping into the photo, not as
• 9:29
  you were, but as you are now. I want you to imagine going
• 9:39
  back, back to that moment. Notice the people who matter
• 9:46
  most. And I want you to imagine that
• 9:50
  you even meet yourself back then.
• 9:56
  Maybe you see your mother, your grandmother, your brother, your
• 10:00
  family friend, the people who love you.
• 10:06
  They want the best for you. This isn't just a memory, it's a
• 10:14
  memory fusing. With your imagination.
• 10:18
  And I want you to invite your children and their current ages
• 10:22
  back to that day, that moment. And I want you to dial up the
• 10:28
  feeling of love, connection, harmony.
• 10:37
  Everyone who means the most to you is together in one place,
• 10:43
  past and present. And maybe you even choose to
• 10:48
  bring in people that aren't even born yet.
• 10:57
  Bring them all there and you can see their faces, feel the warmth
• 11:02
  of the room. And then just imagine having
• 11:09
  conversations. I want you to imagine that you
• 11:16
  congratulate that younger version of you on your marriage,
• 11:19
  but they're wishing you well for your operation, for your
• 11:27
  surgery. And I want you to imagine
• 11:34
  hearing the words coming from the mouths of the faces of the
• 11:40
  people that you love and love you.
• 11:42
  They're sending you encouragement, confidence, calm.
• 11:52
  Certainty hear. Them saying the surgery will go
• 12:03
  well, you'll heal quickly, hear the words that you will have a
• 12:12
  long, healthy, happy life ahead. There's no sadness, no
• 12:22
  trepidation, just positivity, love, smiles, confidence,
• 12:31
  reassurance. And I want you to connect with
• 12:35
  those feelings of support and love.
• 12:41
  I want you to borrow their confidence and feel it in you
• 12:45
  and just allow your body to absorb those messages.
• 12:53
  And I want. You to imagine even the people
• 12:58
  that aren't alive in the present but were alive then feel their
• 13:05
  presence, their positivity, almost like the essence of them
• 13:14
  is still within you, even though physically they can't.
• 13:21
  Be and. Then I want you to imagine
• 13:30
  finding a quiet room connected to where you were back then in
• 13:36
  that memory, with a large screen, and imagine this screen
• 13:45
  allows you to observe the future as you want it to be.
• 13:55
  I want you to see yourself arriving at the hospital, see
• 14:01
  yourself meeting the team, the two different surgeons, see the
• 14:09
  professionalism, the focus. The skill I.
• 14:15
  Want you to see see that the operating theatre is not a place
• 14:22
  of danger. It's a clean, precision
• 14:27
  environment. A coordinated group of
• 14:32
  specialists working together, plastic surgeon, the surgeon
• 14:42
  doing the operation, the anaesthetists.
• 14:47
  And they can all have to be in this room.
• 14:49
  They can be wherever you want them to be, but each one highly
• 14:53
  trained and each one focused on the same outcome.
• 15:03
  A good result. And that might mean clear
• 15:09
  margins, a small tumor removed. Completely no lymph.
• 15:21
  Node involvement and careful reconstruction.
• 15:30
  But let's rewind and just imagine observing things going
• 15:39
  as you want it to. Go just.
• 15:44
  Imagine there you are, maybe there's close family and then
• 15:53
  maybe you observe yourself talking to thee anaesthetists
• 16:01
  and then explaining the process. And then imagine.
• 16:07
  Observe, not experience. See yourself like you're someone
• 16:13
  else and see the anaesthetic is administered.
• 16:18
  Observe that version of you where your body relaxes, you're
• 16:23
  breathing steady, like a deep, deep sleep.
• 16:35
  And while you're resting deeply, I want you to see that your body
• 16:40
  cooperates perfectly with the procedure.
• 16:47
  See the surgical team working with precision.
• 16:51
  Tumor removed. Fully clear.
• 16:55
  Margins contained complete lymph nodes unaffected healthy tissue.
• 17:04
  Preserved. I want.
• 17:10
  You to imagine that things are working as the surgeons
• 17:16
  intended. Maybe you observe the nerve
• 17:22
  grafting. I want you to see that it wasn't
• 17:32
  just possible for the mastectomy, was also possible
• 17:40
  for the reconstruction. C Not just implants, but those
• 17:46
  implants, the preferred ones positioned with care and you can
• 17:55
  speed up time. Imagine that the way things have
• 17:57
  happened makes it easy for blood vessels to reconnect smoothly,
• 18:05
  the nerves to reconnect with sensations.
• 18:14
  See. Balance, stability, just.
• 18:20
  Imagine that you're observing that version of yourself where
• 18:23
  your immune system and all other systems are supporting this
• 18:30
  process or bleeding, efficient clotting, calm inflammation like
• 18:41
  there is an intelligence in your cells that knows what to do
• 18:47
  repairing, restoring, rebuilding.
• 18:57
  And then imagine seeing at four or five hours of surgery going
• 19:05
  well, but then you're taken to a different room, a recovery.
• 19:08
  Room but this. Is where you'll change
• 19:13
  perspective. I want you to imagine now that
• 19:18
  the surgery has finished. Imagine taking a first person
• 19:24
  perspective after the surgery but before you awaken from the
• 19:30
  anaesthetic. Connect with that deep feeling
• 19:34
  of relaxation and just imagine feeling that moments before you
• 19:45
  awaken, your unconscious knows that the procedure has gone
• 19:51
  well, the gym has been removed, the reconstruction completed,
• 20:00
  and your body begins the gentle process of waking.
• 20:07
  And your awareness returns slowly, and you might feel woozy
• 20:16
  or disorientated. So before any tangible, clear
• 20:21
  thoughts arise, I want you to connect to feelings of gratitude
• 20:30
  for your family, your husband. Imagine his face, your mother,
• 20:42
  your children, and you can feel the love you have for them and
• 20:50
  the love they have for you. Feel that support, that care,
• 20:58
  that connection. And then maybe you connect to
• 21:04
  that feeling of gratitude for the medical team and all
• 21:09
  involved who cared for you. You appreciate the skill, the
• 21:16
  dedication, the quality of care, the expertise that supported
• 21:23
  your healing. I can imagine in that
• 21:31
  disorientated aftermath of the anaesthetic, just imagine, just
• 21:39
  temporarily, what it would feel like if.
• 21:45
  People. From the past were in the room
• 21:48
  with you. You know it can't happen in
• 21:52
  reality, but just imagine the essence of people who shaped.
• 22:00
  Your life, people. From your past, people that if
• 22:12
  they weren't alive, would want to know that you're.
• 22:15
  OK. And just.
• 22:21
  Connect with that feeling of love you still carry for them,
• 22:26
  and that love becomes strength. And connect with something
• 22:33
  wonderful, something powerful. Love changes biochemistry, love
• 22:43
  reduces stress, love supports healing.
• 22:51
  And just allow that feeling of love to flow through you.
• 23:02
  And then imagine you're no longer in your body and just see
• 23:05
  yourself back on that screen in the hours and then the days
• 23:10
  following surgery and see that your body is cooperating.
• 23:19
  Remember how you prepared in many different ways,
• 23:28
  nutritionally, even body temperature, blood flow, oxygen,
• 23:39
  and almost imagine you can see warmth flowing gently through
• 23:43
  the tissues, blood supply nourishing the area.
• 23:51
  Your imagination can distort time, see cells repairing, see
• 23:58
  the inflammation remaining calm and controlled.
• 24:03
  And just imagine that any nutrition you've taken in,
• 24:08
  proteins, vitamins, minerals, hydration, all used
• 24:13
  intelligently by the body to support healing.
• 24:20
  Imagine seeing scar tissue forming.
• 24:23
  Neatly organize, collagen, smooth, repair, and you rest
• 24:31
  comfortably. Just imagine, even when you
• 24:37
  sleep, your body doesn't need to move that much.
• 24:43
  Your body seems to know to avoid movement, to remain still when
• 24:48
  necessary, and yet still sleeping deeply.
• 24:56
  The kind of sleep that is regenerative, restorative
• 25:00
  healing. Sleep and observe how each day
• 25:05
  brings small improvements, and then observe over the coming
• 25:11
  weeks how that healing progresses steadily, that you're
• 25:18
  giving your body the time it needs.
• 25:23
  That movement returns gradually, especially around the shoulders.
• 25:31
  And maybe the physical therapy helps restore strength and
• 25:35
  mobility. And before long, your shoulders
• 25:39
  can open, your arms can regain that mobility, and it won't be
• 25:46
  long until you're stretching again in the mornings.
• 25:51
  Your body is adapting intelligently.
• 25:56
  Your scars are healing and healing some more, and become
• 26:03
  less visible, becoming smooth, well integrated.
• 26:11
  I want you to see someone responding well to the surgery
• 26:21
  with a body that adapts, protects, and heals.
• 26:30
  And then let's move forward even further in time.
• 26:35
  Imagine seeing yourself two months after the surgery,
• 26:41
  looking stronger and doing things that demonstrate that
• 26:46
  strength and healing movement has returned.
• 26:53
  Your body has adjusted. Imagine seeing yourself looking
• 26:58
  at yourself in a full length mirror, happy with the result
• 27:05
  and seeing the skill of the reconstruction.
• 27:12
  You can see how it's balanced, aesthetically pleasing and
• 27:20
  healing continues to improve. And you recognize something in
• 27:27
  that future version of you. Two months after the surgery,
• 27:34
  you are still you. Your intelligence, your
• 27:38
  strength, your femininity, your identity has never been defined
• 27:44
  by tissue. Who you really are is not what
• 27:55
  you've gone through. It's who you are at your core.
• 28:00
  And I want you to connect with an idea that this surgery helped
• 28:12
  protect and enhance your future. So instead of going two months
• 28:20
  into the future, I want you to go a decade or two decades.
• 28:27
  Or even 3. Decades into the future and see
• 28:32
  that future version of you living your life healthy,
• 28:38
  active, connected with the people you love.
• 28:45
  And maybe imagine that future version of you 30 years from
• 28:49
  now, thinking back to that moment of surgery.
• 28:56
  Not as a inconvenience, A tragedy or frustration, or
• 29:01
  anything other than a turning point that in some way was
• 29:11
  necessary for you to have that healthy, happy future of
• 29:19
  vitality and connection. And you think back of how you
• 29:24
  handled it with courage, intelligence, a deep respect for
• 29:30
  your human body, with support and help.
• 29:35
  And you're grateful that your body did what it was designed to
• 29:39
  do, to adapt, to recover, and to.
• 29:47
  Heal as you. Drift, find yourself back in
• 29:59
  that room and then leave back to that celebration but feeling
• 30:11
  what you would feel like way after the surgery when the
• 30:16
  healing has taken place satisfactorily and how happy
• 30:23
  everyone is to see that you're doing well.
• 30:29
  Imagine giving hugs and saying you'd goodbyes before jumping
• 30:36
  back through that wedding photo. Can I imagine lying on a bed,
• 30:43
  head on a pillow, knowing that your unconscious mind now has a
• 30:49
  choice? Because very soon I will count
• 30:54
  from 1:00 to 10:00 and if your body is ready to awaken when I
• 31:00
  get to 10, my eyes will open and you will feel alert and awake.
• 31:09
  But if you're listening to this and your body wants to sleep,
• 31:17
  the me counting from 1:00 to 10:00 will just be stepping
• 31:22
  stones into deep healing, regenerative, restorative sleep,
• 31:30
  enabling you to rejuvenate while you sleep.
• 31:35
  Then you don't have to consciously decide, just allow
• 31:37
  your unconscious to do that for you as I now count from 1:00 to
• 31:44
  10:00, 123, 456, 789 and 10. Thank you so much for joining me
