• 0:24
  world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here, and this session is all about quitting
• 0:44
  weed, cannabis, marijuana, whatever you want to call it.
• 0:47
  The client that I was working with had made some really
• 0:51
  positive changes in their life. They used to use cocaine.
• 0:55
  They don't use it anymore. They used to be quite a heavy
• 0:58
  drinker. They weren't drinking in the
• 1:00
  same way that they were. They changed certain social
• 1:04
  groups and certain things linked to an evaluation that that's not
• 1:10
  who they are anymore. They recently turned 30.
• 1:13
  And because of that, they were willing to let go of certain
• 1:17
  things that were in their past that they didn't really want to
• 1:20
  have in their future. And the next step on that
• 1:24
  journey was quitting weed. Now, what you're going to hear
• 1:28
  is a few really cool things. A lot of it is based on
• 1:32
  regression. They get to regress back to that
• 1:35
  time and themselves when they had those early experiences with
• 1:40
  weed and say, well, yeah, maybe it gave them something back
• 1:44
  then, but it certainly isn't giving them the same things now
• 1:48
  and seeing a future that would happen if they continued down
• 1:51
  that path and contrasting that with the kind of future that
• 1:55
  they would want. There's also lots of references
• 1:58
  about growing out of stuff now. If you think about clothes that
• 2:03
  used to wear music, used to listen to back when you were a
• 2:06
  teenager, it's unlikely that you wear the same kind of clothes.
• 2:11
  The reference I make with this particular client is that they
• 2:13
  had a particular hairstyle where they would straighten their
• 2:16
  hair, and that was very unique to them.
• 2:20
  And then one day they just decided that they didn't think
• 2:23
  that was part of their identity anymore and they changed it.
• 2:26
  And that didn't require struggle and willpower.
• 2:29
  It was just a choice because they grew out of that phase.
• 2:33
  Now, the reason why there's so many references to that, a lot
• 2:37
  of people have this unconscious belief that quitting something
• 2:41
  is a struggle or that if you're addicted to something somehow
• 2:46
  that's your identity forever. Think of the 12 step program.
• 2:50
  You're that way forever. And I don't believe that.
• 2:53
  I believe that humans have the ability to do certain things for
• 2:56
  a period of time, make a decision that they don't want to
• 2:59
  do it, and if it doesn't fit with their new identity, they
• 3:02
  can let go of that pretty quick. That's the essence of this.
• 3:06
  There's also an element of a ritual suggested so that the way
• 3:10
  that this client was consuming weed was through cartridges, so
• 3:15
  the actual kind of vaping it rather than smoking it or using
• 3:20
  other ways. So there's a ritual here about a
• 3:24
  a hammer smashing up to 1,000,000 pieces.
• 3:28
  Now, the reason that I encourage people to have a ritual when
• 3:31
  they make that decision to quit something, and that might be
• 3:35
  someone having too much alcohol. They want to change the
• 3:38
  relationship to pouring it down the sink is because it creates a
• 3:42
  very vivid memory and creates a new evaluation that if they are
• 3:47
  doing this thing, that something has changed.
• 3:50
  That's a a very good way of building a form of belief known
• 3:53
  as self efficacy, where you interpret the belief through the
• 3:57
  action that you take. In this case, it was throwing
• 4:01
  out paraphernalia, it was smashing up the cartridge and it
• 4:04
  was doing it on a particular day before the the, the rubbish
• 4:08
  roots in the UK or the trash in the States was carried away.
• 4:11
  And that was deliberate. So it's all part of establishing
• 4:15
  A ritual link to a new identity and the overall sentiment that
• 4:19
  they've just grown out of this behaviour.
• 4:22
  It doesn't have to be weed that you're giving up here.
• 4:24
  It could be anything that you decide you just don't want to do
• 4:27
  that thing anymore in the way that you used to.
• 4:31
  So you can think of that. And if you do like the idea of a
• 4:34
  bespoke session with me and we just focus on whatever The thing
• 4:38
  is, the habit, the behaviour that you're doing that you don't
• 4:41
  want to do anymore. There's a link in the
• 4:43
  description where you can book a free consultation call, we'll
• 4:46
  have a chat, I can explain how I work and then I can actually do
• 4:49
  a session for you rather than you hearing someone else's.
• 4:53
  For now though, you might get some value from this session.
• 4:55
  So find a quiet, comfortable place, but you won't be
• 4:58
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy.
• 5:00
  The session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 5:33
  you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
• 5:39
  relaxation. And as you exhale, feel that
• 5:47
  wonderful feeling of release, as if any tensions, stress and
• 5:53
  worries starting to leave your body In your outward breath.
• 6:01
  Breathing in, relaxation and exhaling tension where each
• 6:12
  breath takes you deeper and deeper.
• 6:16
  Relaxed breathing in and breathing out.
• 6:24
  Just allow your eyelids to feel heavy and notice with your eyes
• 6:31
  closed how much easier it feels to focus on the sound of my
• 6:40
  voice. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 6:45
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 6:50
  the deeper you breathe, each breath taking you deeper and
• 7:00
  deeper. Relaxed now, and I wonder if you
• 7:08
  can recall the very first time that you had an experience with
• 7:20
  weed. I want you to imagine floating
• 7:24
  back, back in time at your current age, seeing that younger
• 7:30
  version of you. And I want you to notice certain
• 7:35
  things about you back then, how you dressed, how you styled your
• 7:42
  hair, your mannerisms. And as you observe, you can't
• 7:51
  help but notice that you were very different back then.
• 8:01
  And maybe there was an element of exploration, discovery or
• 8:07
  connection with different people.
• 8:12
  And I wonder if you can come to the conclusion that who you were
• 8:19
  back then is not who you are now in your 30s.
• 8:27
  And maybe there was a time that we'd gave you more than it took,
• 8:33
  but recently, maybe it feels that even when you're stressed,
• 8:40
  even when you're bored, it doesn't really do what it used
• 8:44
  to do. I want you to feel deep, deep
• 8:50
  inside that it doesn't really feel aligned with who you are
• 8:56
  now. And I want you to see overtime
• 9:02
  from that very first time all the way up to the present, and
• 9:09
  just observe how this relationship with weed started
• 9:16
  off, like many relationships do, desire enthusiasm.
• 9:30
  But more recently, it feels you're just going through the
• 9:34
  motions. And I want you to think of a
• 9:40
  place that you know well, where you feel relaxed, maybe a place
• 9:49
  in nature, a park, a beach, perhaps somewhere else.
• 9:59
  And just imagine stretching in that place, and as you breathe
• 10:07
  in deeply, you feel a sense of evolved clarity.
• 10:15
  And as you breathe out, just allow your shoulders to drop,
• 10:20
  your mind to relax, and your focus to turn inward.
• 10:27
  Because here, right now, there's nothing you need to fight and
• 10:33
  nothing to hide, only a quiet recognition that something
• 10:38
  inside you is now ready to change.
• 10:47
  Because there comes a time in every relationship when you
• 10:52
  realise that something or someone no longer serves you and
• 10:59
  you could appreciate what it gave you and still know that
• 11:04
  it's time to move on. And I want you to think back to
• 11:13
  someone, that someone you used to be in a relationship but
• 11:23
  aren't anymore. And imagine standing in front of
• 11:26
  someone like that, someone that was in your life for a long time
• 11:34
  and now isn't. And maybe at first that
• 11:38
  relationship felt good, perhaps comforting, fond or familiar.
• 11:48
  And then there were times where you felt bored, when you were
• 11:51
  stressed, when life felt overwhelming.
• 11:58
  I want you to get a sense then sometimes, for the good of them
• 12:08
  and the good of you, it's time to move on.
• 12:15
  And I want you to recall that definitive breakup.
• 12:20
  And maybe it came from a place of certainty, a deep resolve
• 12:29
  that even though it gave you pleasurable things in the past,
• 12:35
  it's not healthy or positive for your future.
• 12:44
  And I want you to get a feeling that that's how you feel now
• 12:50
  about weed. Imagine we being a relationship
• 12:57
  that used to give you something that was beneficial in some way,
• 13:09
  but now you see them for what they really are, something
• 13:18
  that's no longer keeping its promises, no longer giving what
• 13:24
  they used to give. And there was a time that you
• 13:29
  truly believed that you needed them, but now you can see
• 13:34
  clearly they're holding you back.
• 13:41
  They're getting in the way of the identity that you truly
• 13:45
  desire, that evolved version of you.
• 13:55
  And maybe you had a relationship in the past with an X that
• 14:01
  wasn't quite right for you. Maybe you broke up and they
• 14:07
  promised they would change, but they never did.
• 14:12
  They were who they always were. And it required you to make that
• 14:20
  change, to draw a line in the sand and say I'm done.
• 14:33
  Because recently weed has been taking more than it's giving.
• 14:37
  And let's be honest, just like an old hairstyle, you've
• 14:44
  outgrown them. And I want you to imagine having
• 14:51
  that conversation with weed like it's a human, as if they're
• 14:58
  standing right in front of you. And imagine what you would say
• 15:04
  to break up with them. Maybe something like we've had
• 15:09
  our time, but that time is over. Or you helped me once, but now
• 15:18
  you slow me down. It's important I choose myself,
• 15:24
  my health and my future. And you can even thank it for
• 15:34
  those memories, those lessons, the comfort or the escape, and
• 15:39
  still know with absolute certainty you don't need it
• 15:45
  anymore. Because of what you used to get
• 15:50
  from weed, you can now get from you when you're bored.
• 15:57
  You can write, draw, or create. You can open a notebook, fill
• 16:06
  the page with thoughts, shapes and ideas.
• 16:13
  Because creation connects you to something deeper.
• 16:18
  And when you're stressed, you can stretch.
• 16:21
  You can move, learn, and grow. Maybe it's a good book or
• 16:26
  documentary because learning expands your world, while we'd
• 16:35
  used to just distract and shrink from it.
• 16:41
  And if you're really overwhelmed, you can pause,
• 16:46
  breathe, reflect, reprioritize, and you can be curious instead
• 16:53
  of escaping. Because you've learned that
• 16:58
  peace doesn't come from weed. It comes from clarity.
• 17:07
  It comes from putting you first. And I wonder if you can imagine
• 17:16
  holding that last cartridge, the one you've decided to destroy.
• 17:24
  Maybe you can feel the weight of it in your hand, the old
• 17:28
  pattern, the old comfort, the old identity, but not you
• 17:33
  anymore. Perhaps you can imagine holding
• 17:37
  a hammer and you can sense deep power awakening in you, the
• 17:45
  power of choice, the power of finality.
• 17:53
  And imagine colliding that hammer with that cartridge.
• 17:58
  A clean break and the cycle ends.
• 18:04
  And in that sound, that shattering moment, something
• 18:09
  inside you shifts forever. The old you is gone, and the new
• 18:19
  you has arrived. And then imagine taking the
• 18:26
  remains of that symbolic ritual, the destruction of an old habit,
• 18:34
  and putting it in the trash just before it's collected, and
• 18:40
  feeling a sense that you are stepping into a new identity.
• 18:54
  And I want you to think that your 30s are not a continuation
• 18:58
  of your 20s, but an upgrade, in the same way that when you
• 19:06
  upgrade your phone, you don't use the old one because the new
• 19:12
  one is better. So consider your 30s a
• 19:18
  significant upgrade, A new chapter where wisdom replaces
• 19:23
  impulse, clarity replaces fog, and discipline replaces
• 19:31
  dependency. And you're evolving now into
• 19:38
  someone who chooses presence over numbness, connection over
• 19:45
  escape, and growth over comfort. And you can look back and see
• 19:54
  that weed was part of a younger chapter, a chapter that has had
• 20:00
  its time but now just isn't needed to help you thrive.
• 20:08
  And maybe you can recall a a particular hairstyle.
• 20:12
  You used to make so much effort to have that style, and one day
• 20:19
  you decided that wasn't you anymore.
• 20:23
  It didn't resonate with who you are.
• 20:27
  And you didn't need to use force or discipline.
• 20:31
  It just was a part of your past and allow we to be that for you
• 20:37
  now. It doesn't fit the person you're
• 20:42
  becoming because you're creating a life that's too vibrant, too
• 20:48
  full, too real. We doesn't belong in that
• 20:56
  future. And I want you to think of the
• 21:02
  triggers, maybe the time of day or the emotion or the feeling or
• 21:07
  the place. And every time those old
• 21:12
  triggers appear, your subconscious will automatically
• 21:17
  guide you toward the healthy, creative version of you, knowing
• 21:25
  that you have infinite better options.
• 21:29
  And when boredom appears, you can do something creative,
• 21:35
  stimulating, challenging, right? Draw Something creative,
• 21:47
  something stimulating. Because your mind is built to
• 21:56
  express, not suppress. And when stress appears, you've
• 22:06
  got so many choices there too. Remember when you've dealt with
• 22:12
  similar stressful situations? Well, think back to those times
• 22:22
  you felt incredibly resourceful. Maybe breathe and stretch and
• 22:29
  move or reflect and when overwhelm arrives you can make a
• 22:38
  list of all the things that feel overwhelming and just getting it
• 22:43
  out of your head reduces the overwhelm.
• 22:47
  No need for escape, no need for distraction because you in your
• 22:52
  30s doesn't run away from difficult things.
• 22:59
  You handle them. And I wonder if you could
• 23:05
  imagine yourself perhaps a few months or a few years into the
• 23:10
  future and you see yourself even more evolved.
• 23:17
  The trajectory that you're on, the momentum that you're
• 23:21
  building has taken you to a place of even more success, even
• 23:29
  more health. Maybe you see yourself in the
• 23:34
  ideal relationship, living the kind of lifestyle that fits with
• 23:40
  this new evolved version of you. And I want you to see that every
• 23:48
  area of your life is enhanced socially, emotionally,
• 23:55
  physically, everything. Everything has improved because
• 24:03
  of your evolution. See yourself connected, grounded
• 24:11
  and real. And notice that weed is just no
• 24:15
  longer part of your identity and hasn't been for a while.
• 24:23
  And I want you to think of that break up.
• 24:30
  Sometimes a breakup can feel painful, but it creates space
• 24:35
  for a new relationship. And the new relationship after
• 24:41
  you break up from weed is a healthier relationship with
• 24:45
  yourself to allow that to feel that that is who you are and
• 24:55
  that is who you are becoming. Step into that future version of
• 25:03
  you, perhaps years from now, and feel how good it feels to have
• 25:09
  not used weed for many years. And you don't miss it.
• 25:15
  You can think nostalgically about how it used to be part of
• 25:19
  your life but just isn't anymore.
• 25:25
  And all of this comes with a decisive decision that you are
• 25:30
  already comfortable making. The ritual is just a symbolic
• 25:38
  representation of a decision you've already made.
• 25:47
  It's time to leave this future and return to the present with a
• 25:51
  new sense of clarity. Determination and alignment that
• 25:56
  this is just who you are now, weed free and evolved.
• 26:05
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 26:10
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 26:13
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 26:16
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 26:23
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 26:30
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 26:34
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
• 26:38
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
