  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 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
  Do you feel that you drink too much wine?
• 0:42
  Or maybe it's another alcoholic drink and it's really having a
• 0:45
  negative effect on your life? Adam here.
• 0:49
  And I was working with a client that felt that their Achilles
• 0:53
  heel wasn't just alcohol, but it was wine in particular, because
• 0:57
  they would never drink too much beer or drink too many
• 0:59
  cocktails. But if it was wine, they
• 1:02
  couldn't open up a bottle without finishing the bottle.
• 1:04
  And there was an element of compulsion where they had the
• 1:07
  biggest impact in their life was in their home quite often
• 1:12
  because it would mean that they would wake up the next day and
• 1:15
  they would feel lethargic. They wouldn't have the same
• 1:17
  level of energy and they'd be quite annoyed or cross with
• 1:20
  themself. So in this hypnosis session, it
• 1:22
  uses 2 levels of disassociation, and it also has an element of
• 1:29
  introducing 3 golden rules about a relationship with wine that
• 1:34
  would be useful for this individual, and it may be useful
• 1:37
  for you too. These golden rules are #1 no
• 1:41
  drinking wine at home. Now that doesn't mean they can't
• 1:44
  drink other alcoholic drinks, but just not wine because wine
• 1:47
  was their Achilles heel. So no wine in the home.
• 1:51
  It could be that there is wine in the home, but just not drunk
• 1:53
  by them. If it was drunk by someone else,
• 1:56
  that would be fine, but no wine for them.
• 1:58
  The second is that if they do drink wine, they order it by the
• 2:03
  glass. That's crucial because their
• 2:05
  compulsion was if they open a bottle, they finish the bottle.
• 2:09
  And of course, if you're in a bar or a restaurant, you can
• 2:11
  order a bottle of wine. But by ordering by the glass, it
• 2:14
  means that they have the ability to just finish the glass rather
• 2:19
  than finish the bottle. And that was their pattern.
• 2:22
  So that's very helpful. So rule #2 is ordered by the
• 2:24
  glass. The smaller the glass the
• 2:26
  better. And then the third rule is
• 2:30
  always have a non alcoholic drink before an alcoholic drink.
• 2:34
  So therefore for this client, if they were going out and having
• 2:37
  two small glasses of wine, but each of those two small glasses
• 2:40
  needed a non alcoholic drink beforehand, then actually they
• 2:44
  can enjoy the whole evening with four glasses of something and
• 2:49
  not have any hangover and not have any downsides, wake up
• 2:52
  refreshed and energized the next day and still keep wine in their
• 2:55
  life. Many people don't want to be
• 2:59
  either a teetotaler and, you know, have completely no alcohol
• 3:04
  at all or to make it a forbidden fruit.
• 3:07
  And, you know, I'm saying this is someone that I've not drunk
• 3:10
  alcohol for nearly eight years. For me, that was the right
• 3:13
  decision, not to have any alcohol.
• 3:15
  But for other people, they want the kind of relationship with
• 3:18
  alcohol that I have with sugar and that is in moderation on
• 3:22
  special occasions. And then that way it's still in
• 3:24
  my life, but not too much. So if anything like this appeals
• 3:28
  to you might get some value from this session.
• 3:30
  Some of the references are going to be unique to the individual.
• 3:35
  Some of the things they wanted to replace wine with, like
• 3:38
  protein smoothies, might not appeal to you.
• 3:40
  So ignore any suggestions that aren't quite right.
• 3:43
  Hone into the ones that are. And if you do like the idea of
• 3:46
  having a bespoke session with me, tailored to your exact
• 3:50
  circumstances and your exact outcomes, there will be a link
• 3:53
  in the description where you can schedule a completely free
• 3:55
  consultation call to explore working with me.
• 3:58
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:01
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:29
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 4:38
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 4:44
  And as you exhale, feel that wonderful feeling of release, as
• 4:53
  if any tension, worries, or stresses feel like they're
• 5:01
  leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 5:08
  As you breathe in and breathe out.
• 5:10
  I want you to find that rhythm, maybe that rhythm that you
• 5:17
  naturally get to when you're doing yoga or meditating.
• 5:24
  Activate your diaphragm so that the deeper you breathe, the more
• 5:30
  relaxed you feel. And the more relaxed you feel,
• 5:36
  the deeper you breathe, each breath taking you deeper and
• 5:47
  deeper. Relaxed that's in.
• 5:55
  Scan your body for any clues of tension.
• 5:59
  Sometimes it's there in the forehead or the jaw or the neck
• 6:03
  or the shoulders. But as you breathe in that
• 6:06
  relaxation, just imagine that tension melting away.
• 6:13
  Feel it leave your body in your outward breath and start to feel
• 6:19
  a looseness, A relaxation all around your face, neck,
• 6:24
  shoulders, going down into your arms.
• 6:28
  That's it. I don't want you to think.
• 6:34
  Think of a time where you were walking on a beach in southern
• 6:39
  Spain, and I want you to imagine maybe it was a time of day when
• 6:46
  there was no one else around. And I want you to feel that
• 6:50
  connection with the sound of the waves, perhaps the sand beneath
• 6:56
  your feet, sunshine on your skin.
• 7:02
  And I want you to feel that element, that element of
• 7:10
  alignment, connection, but deep inner peace.
• 7:19
  And I want you to imagine, imagine seeing a puzzle, a board
• 7:27
  game there on a table on the beach.
• 7:31
  Maybe it's one of those jigsaw puzzles with a 500 or 1000
• 7:35
  pieces. Now this puzzle, this puzzle is
• 7:42
  an image of you a year from now with the ideal relationship with
• 7:48
  alcohol. I don't want you to imagine on
• 7:52
  that beach sitting down and trying to figure out all of
• 7:59
  these separate pieces, to make that picture and allow the
• 8:05
  logical analytical that part of your brain likes to solve
• 8:11
  problems, to focus its attention on this jigsaw puzzle.
• 8:19
  But then separate yourself because there is an intuitive
• 8:24
  unconscious part that just wants change.
• 8:31
  And I want you to imagine observing that logical,
• 8:34
  analytical part. They're on that beach in Spain,
• 8:38
  trying to figure out the jigsaw puzzle.
• 8:41
  But the unconscious part continues to walk down the
• 8:44
  beach, separating conscious from unconscious, logical from
• 8:50
  intuitive. And as you continue walking down
• 8:54
  the beach, I want you to imagine seeing a door, Not just any
• 9:03
  door. I want you to imagine a palatial
• 9:07
  door, the kind of door that you would only find on a grand,
• 9:13
  stately home, but it isn't connected to a building, and yet
• 9:19
  the door is still there on the beach.
• 9:21
  And I want you to imagine standing in front of that door,
• 9:29
  looking back, seeing that logical part, still attempt to
• 9:32
  finish the puzzle, but now looking at this grand door.
• 9:38
  And very soon I will count from 5:00 to 1:00.
• 9:42
  As I count, you will imagine opening this big heavy door,
• 9:47
  walking through and finding yourself in the tranquil
• 9:53
  countryside of the Cotswolds near a lake.
• 9:58
  But for now, you're in front of the door 5 pulling the handles
• 10:04
  of this heavy door open, 4 making them wider. 3 seeing the
• 10:11
  Cotswolds beyond the threshold of the door 2 walking through
• 10:16
  the door and one hearing it close behind you as you now
• 10:22
  imagine what it would be like to be there in the Cotswolds near a
• 10:29
  lake. And I want you to imagine there,
• 10:36
  under blue skies, sunshine and a gentle breeze in that wonderful
• 10:43
  countryside near the lake is the most comfortable chair you've
• 10:47
  ever seen. I want you to imagine placing
• 10:53
  yourself on that chair, looking out over the lake and feeling a
• 11:00
  deep level of relaxation, a feeling of connection, a
• 11:09
  wonderful feeling that there is nothing you need to do.
• 11:13
  But your unconscious intuitive mind is open to new ideas, new
• 11:18
  ways of thinking. And as you sink into that chair,
• 11:24
  looking out over the lake, I want you to imagine the ability
• 11:30
  to create a three-dimensional hologram hovering over the lake.
• 11:37
  Because as your unconscious mind starts to receive suggestions, I
• 11:44
  want you to allow that creative, intuitive part to imagine what
• 11:51
  that would be like in your life. You could imagine yourself like
• 11:57
  you're someone else doing things differently.
• 12:02
  Like that hologram over the lake.
• 12:08
  That's it. As you sink into the chair, your
• 12:13
  unconscious mind becomes suggestible to useful
• 12:18
  suggestions that get to enhance the quality of your life.
• 12:24
  What wants was an Achilles heel then becomes evidence of growth,
• 12:32
  progress and your ability to lose that vulnerability of the
• 12:40
  past. As you look over the lake, I
• 12:46
  wonder if you could imagine how it would be if the idea of
• 12:51
  drinking wine at home simply doesn't appeal anymore, as if
• 13:00
  the home environment now feels reserved for other things.
• 13:10
  Other people can drink wine there, it's just not for you.
• 13:18
  Each time you think of wine at home, your mind starts thinking
• 13:27
  of a useful rule that can benefit you, a golden rule.
• 13:35
  No wine at home means more control, more freedom, and more
• 13:40
  clarity. I want you to imagine seeing
• 13:45
  that future there over the lake, what it would be like even if a
• 13:54
  bottle of wine is bought and put into the refridge, it gets taken
• 13:58
  out and put into a different room.
• 14:02
  Not because out of sight, out of mind, but because wine in the
• 14:07
  fridge would just clutter up space that could be used for
• 14:10
  other things. And then imagine yourself
• 14:15
  outside of the home. I want you to see yourself with
• 14:22
  the ideal relationship with wine.
• 14:27
  One or two glasses outside of the home, maybe in a bar and a
• 14:34
  restaurant, a dinner party, a special occasion.
• 14:39
  But outside of your home. And when you're out and you
• 14:45
  order wine, it's by the glass and it feels elegant, deliberate
• 14:52
  and complete. I want you to see that version
• 14:56
  of you that totally believes that one glass is enough, but
• 15:04
  also see in that future that even when you're outside of the
• 15:08
  home, you have another quirky rule that before any alcoholic
• 15:16
  drink, you will always have a non alcoholic drink.
• 15:24
  And maybe that's a glass of water, maybe some kind of fizzy
• 15:34
  drink, juice, perhaps even in certain circumstances a hot
• 15:42
  drink. But I want you to see that this
• 15:46
  relationship is empowering. You are not missing out.
• 15:53
  You are simply taming a tiger that first sip of a healthy
• 16:01
  drink, and maybe it's sparkling water, perhaps some kind of
• 16:11
  healthy substance that is full of nutrients or probiotics or
• 16:16
  something good, or maybe juice. I want you to see that future
• 16:24
  version of you still seems to enjoy just as much as you did
• 16:32
  with wine. You associate any drink in
• 16:38
  certain settings as relaxing, calming, or perhaps just useful
• 16:45
  to hydrate because you begin to associate hydration, clarity and
• 16:52
  freshness with the idea and the feeling of taking a break.
• 17:00
  You don't need wine to take a break.
• 17:06
  And imagine if your favorite wine glass becomes a symbol of
• 17:11
  calm and not indulgence. I want you to imagine filling
• 17:18
  that same wine glass with something non alcoholic,
• 17:25
  reaffirming a powerful identity. Someone who chooses health,
• 17:32
  balance and self respect. And sometimes that might be some
• 17:40
  kind of protein smoothie, perhaps sparkling water, or
• 17:48
  perhaps a drink that contains supplements or vitamins or
• 17:54
  something to help you relax. And you can enjoy the ritual of
• 18:01
  pouring, holding and sipping without needing it to be wine
• 18:08
  inside that glass. And what if the thought of a
• 18:17
  glass of wine is telling you how you want to feel rather than the
• 18:26
  substance that you need? If the thought of a glass of
• 18:30
  wine means that your body wants to relax the de stress to
• 18:38
  escape, then there are so many different ways that you can do
• 18:43
  that, and I wonder if you could find ways to relax naturally
• 18:55
  rather than needing a chemical combination that alcohol is.
• 19:04
  Maybe on those days when stress appears, your first instinct
• 19:09
  becomes to stretch, slow your breathing, or release tension.
• 19:16
  Maybe it's time spent doing a particular type of yoga, a place
• 19:23
  where you can get to a place of calm quickly, The gentle hold of
• 19:29
  a pose, the slow rhythm of breath.
• 19:34
  What if that becomes your new sanctuary, a safe space to
• 19:39
  unwind and even just 5 or 10 minutes of meditation can feel
• 19:50
  that stress can go away quickly and wine wasn't needed.
• 20:00
  Or when emotions are running high, see yourself reaching out
• 20:06
  to a friend or a family member. A supportive voice and feel
• 20:12
  relief through connection and discussion rather than
• 20:16
  consumption. As you are learning that
• 20:20
  relaxation is a skill, not a symptom from a substance, and
• 20:28
  your body begins to crave what truly nourishes it.
• 20:35
  Water, certain decaffeinated teas, fresh air and movement.
• 20:44
  Imagine where your mind feels clear, your morning's brighter,
• 20:51
  and I want you to see that future version of you with this
• 20:54
  new relationship with alcohol and golden rules about where and
• 21:00
  when you drink wine. That version of you springs out
• 21:05
  of bed in the morning, more energy looking cheaper, starting
• 21:12
  the day, right? And I want you to see that you
• 21:20
  will be tested. You will be tested when someone
• 21:26
  buys you a bottle of wine, a wine that you used to like, but
• 21:32
  your rule is you don't drink it in the home.
• 21:38
  Or maybe you'll be tested by your own emotions, genuine
• 21:42
  things that happen in life that make you feel anxious or
• 21:45
  stressed or overwhelmed. But I want you to see that
• 21:49
  future version of you looking forward to these tests because
• 21:56
  each time you are tested, that pressure testing ensures this
• 22:06
  new evolved identity becomes robust.
• 22:16
  See yourself in that future with that pride, empowerment, more
• 22:22
  discernment, and higher standards.
• 22:26
  Because for you, less is more, and it's the quality rather than
• 22:34
  the quantity that matter. Don't be surprised if you drink
• 22:40
  less wine yet enjoy it more. Because your relationship with
• 22:48
  wine is shifting and what once was routine can now feel
• 22:55
  unnecessary, outdated, just an echo of who you used to be.
• 23:06
  I want you to think of those 3 golden rules.
• 23:12
  No wine in the home. Not for you at least.
• 23:19
  And if you do have wine, you order by the glass outside of
• 23:25
  your home and rule #3 before any alcoholic drink, whether it's
• 23:36
  wine, a beer or a cocktail, always a non alcoholic drink
• 23:42
  first. And I don't know if it will take
• 23:49
  days or weeks for these rules to become unconscious, that they
• 24:00
  just become what you do and how you are, and you don't need to
• 24:04
  force them. But it's when those boundaries,
• 24:12
  those rules are tested, that's when they become truly strong.
• 24:18
  And even a set back is useful if it strengthens your boundaries,
• 24:26
  making them more robust the next time.
• 24:32
  Want you to imagine floating into that hologram over the
• 24:38
  lake, into the version of you that has the ideal relationship
• 24:43
  with alcohol that you want. Feel how that would feel like.
• 24:51
  Do not need or want to drink wine at home.
• 24:55
  Have the occasional class when you're out and about and always,
• 25:03
  always have a non alcoholic drink before an alcoholic drink.
• 25:09
  And I want you to feel that this isn't missing out.
• 25:12
  This is giving you more more energy, more pride, more
• 25:17
  clarity, more sense of self esteem.
• 25:24
  Float back to the chair and imagine walking away from the
• 25:28
  lake and seeing that huge door belonging to that stately home,
• 25:36
  this time taking you back to the beach.
• 25:40
  Imagine pulling the door open, walking through, closing it
• 25:43
  behind you, and finding yourself on a beach in southern Spain.
• 25:52
  And not too far away, you can see that logical, analytical
• 25:57
  version of you nearly completing a puzzle.
• 26:01
  Just one final piece. And that puzzle is a picture of
• 26:08
  you with the ideal relationship with alcohol.
• 26:15
  Maybe you see yourself smiling. Maybe you see yourself with more
• 26:19
  energy, more accomplished, more elegant, or more discerning.
• 26:25
  There is a clue in that image as to how this new relationship
• 26:31
  with alcohol enhances your life rather than reduces your
• 26:40
  enjoyment. And maybe it's what you're
• 26:45
  doing, where you are, how you're feeling, and each time you come
• 26:52
  back to this puzzle, the image will change.
• 26:56
  But in all cases, it will be you with your ideal relationship
• 27:03
  with alcohol that empowers the quality of your life without the
• 27:12
  downside. Step into that logical,
• 27:15
  analytical part So 2 become one. Stare into that image and know
• 27:23
  this is now where you're heading, so that all parts of
• 27:30
  your life feel great and what's already good becomes even
• 27:36
  better. And as you walk away from the
• 27:40
  puzzle, I want you to imagine floating all the way back to
• 27:45
  your present. Take a deep breath in through
• 27:49
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 27:55
  Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, connect and calibrate into
• 28:02
  the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
• 28:09
  awaken you. And you will awaken feeling a
• 28:13
  deep resolve to take the image of your future as a blueprint,
• 28:21
  to make tweaks and changes, set new boundaries for yourself so
• 28:32
  that within a short period of time, this conception becomes
• 28:38
  reality. Starting to count. 123 Waking up
• 28:44
  456. More alert. 7-8.
• 28:49
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes. 910.
• 28:52
  Wide awake, wide awake. Wide awake.
