  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 Adam Smith 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
  Hi, it's Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:42
  hypnosis session that covers two key themes.
• 0:44
  One is childhood brainwashing, and the second is thunderstorms.
• 0:49
  And I was working with a client that could remember as a child
• 0:54
  actually playing football or soccer, as you might say, in the
• 0:58
  United States, out in thunderstorms and rain and being
• 1:02
  completely unfazed by it. But then when they were about 9
• 1:05
  or 10 years old, they started hearing things from their
• 1:08
  parents and seeing the facial expressions of grandparents.
• 1:12
  And they would see that there was a lot of fear and anxiety
• 1:15
  around thunderstorms. They lived in quite a remote
• 1:19
  agricultural part of the world, quite exposed, and therefore
• 1:22
  thunderstorms were kind of a big deal out there.
• 1:26
  But alongside that, they had a parent that would tell them that
• 1:29
  thunderstorms are God's wrath and vengeance, and they would
• 1:33
  tell his stories about the end of days and apocalypses that was
• 1:37
  linked to violent storms. So at a very young impressional
• 1:42
  age, they were connecting punishment and curses with
• 1:47
  thunderstorms and that all got joined up.
• 1:50
  Now as an adult, they know it. They knew it wasn't true, but
• 1:53
  they still felt it. They still felt a visceral
• 1:56
  anxiety reaction at the very thought of thunderstorms and
• 2:00
  Thunder and lightning and those things.
• 2:02
  So there's an element of timeline of going back to that
• 2:05
  younger version of themself and saying, look, these
• 2:08
  thunderstorms, they're just nature, they're just
• 2:10
  fascinating. They're quite cool things and
• 2:13
  seeing how that ripples through time and also pre empting what
• 2:17
  they knew their mother would tell them and priming them that
• 2:21
  it wasn't true and wasn't useful for them.
• 2:24
  So if you feel like you were kind of brainwashed in your
• 2:27
  childhood, or you've got what feels as an adult like an
• 2:30
  irrational fear, but it came from somewhere real, you might
• 2:34
  get some value from this session.
• 2:35
  And if you like the idea of working with me directly for
• 2:38
  something bespoke for you, there is a 62nd suitability test that
• 2:43
  you can take by clicking in the description.
• 2:46
  Doesn't take long to do and you get to find some resources very
• 2:49
  quick. And I also have created a
• 2:50
  webinar where I go through the whole process of what it means
• 2:53
  to work with me, and that's completely free.
• 2:56
  So check those resources out. For now, find a quiet,
• 3:00
  comfortable place where. You won't be.
• 3:01
  Distracted or disturbed, relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:26
  Take a deep breath in. As you breathe in, breathe in
• 3:34
  longer and deeper than you normally would.
• 3:37
  And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to close.
• 3:42
  And as your eyelids close, give permission to release any
• 3:48
  feelings of tension and stress and worry and maybe even anger.
• 3:57
  Anger and frustration is what happened and shouldn't have.
• 4:04
  Breathing and a feeling of peace, acceptance and relaxation
• 4:09
  and releasing all of those emotions from the past,
• 4:14
  gradually, incrementally. I want you to get a sense that
• 4:24
  children believe quickly and easily, and sometimes children
• 4:34
  are told things about fairies and monsters that aren't true.
• 4:44
  But because children believe so quickly and easily, sometimes a
• 4:50
  child could believe the monster they've been told about is real.
• 4:58
  And some parents might describe a monster or an evil person that
• 5:05
  will do harm to the child unless they do what the parents want
• 5:11
  tied to their room be good. But what if the monster is
• 5:20
  something else? Nature.
• 5:23
  Perhaps that parent could point to the sky and say, look, this
• 5:30
  is real, this is because of you. And because the lightning or the
• 5:37
  thunderstorm is real, a child that doesn't know better may
• 5:42
  believe all of the other things that aren't real because they
• 5:48
  can see something that is. As you breathe in that feeling
• 5:56
  of relaxation and exhale any tension, any stress, any
• 6:02
  worries, I want you to think. Think of the past.
• 6:10
  And I want you to imagine one of those old photos.
• 6:15
  And the photo doesn't need to exist, but you can imagine it.
• 6:19
  You as a child playing football in a rainstorm.
• 6:28
  And as you stare into the photo, imagine the photo turns into a
• 6:34
  movie and you can see that happy, smiling, playful child
• 6:41
  playing football in the rain. And maybe you can see that there
• 6:45
  was lightning and Thunder and yet the child kept playing
• 6:52
  football because continuing to play was more important than
• 6:57
  staying dry. And as you look at that memory,
• 7:04
  you have irrefutable evidence that you already know how to be
• 7:11
  calm and relaxed even if there is a thunderstorm.
• 7:20
  Something changed. That child was told things that
• 7:25
  weren't true and started to believe things that weren't real
• 7:31
  and felt real emotions, something that wasn't real.
• 7:40
  To imagine stepping into that moving picture like you're from
• 7:47
  the future, going back into the past.
• 7:53
  And just imagine watching that football game in the
• 7:56
  thunderstorm, cheering yourself on, encouraging they make a good
• 8:04
  pass, a good shot. Tell them well done.
• 8:08
  Give that child approval, encouragement, support,
• 8:16
  acknowledgement. At the end of that game, I want
• 8:23
  you to imagine congratulating them, complimenting them, and
• 8:29
  then tell them a secret. Tell them that you are them from
• 8:34
  the future, and of course that young version of you doesn't
• 8:39
  believe you, but here's how you change their mind.
• 8:46
  Tell that younger version of you, maybe just six or seven
• 8:49
  years old, a secret that only you could have known.
• 8:59
  Tell them and convince them that you are them from the future.
• 9:06
  And when that younger version of you accepts that you are them,
• 9:18
  but perhaps maybe 30 or 40 years in the future, let me know by
• 9:28
  nodding your head. And if you need to convince them
• 9:37
  with any more secrets, tell them about a memory that only they
• 9:43
  would know. But when they believe that you
• 9:46
  are them from the future, let me know by nodding your head.
• 10:03
  Let's sit, breathe in and breathe out.
• 10:05
  And maybe right now they don't believe, but they don't need to.
• 10:13
  They just now need to know that you care.
• 10:17
  You care deeply about the future of this child.
• 10:23
  And I want you to tell this child that in the future they
• 10:30
  will be told by people they should be able to trust things
• 10:36
  that are not true. I want you to ask the child
• 10:42
  that's just come out of playing football in the rainstorm, what
• 10:47
  is a thunderstorm? Maybe they say it's just really
• 10:54
  intense rain. Maybe they say it's just
• 10:59
  something in nature and tell them they're correct.
• 11:05
  That's all it is. That when the weather is hot and
• 11:10
  humid and there's those ions, the static electricity in the
• 11:18
  air, sometimes the power of all of that energy finds its way
• 11:25
  down in lightning. That it is something incredible,
• 11:32
  powerful, fascinating, like magic, but real.
• 11:40
  And I want you to tell this child what they will be told in
• 11:45
  the future. They will be told that there are
• 11:54
  curses and punishments, God's revenge or anger.
• 12:05
  But tell them that that isn't true.
• 12:09
  Tell them that that is words being said to try and control
• 12:16
  and create fear. And I want you to imagine
• 12:24
  telling this child they are capable, they are intelligent,
• 12:30
  they can learn fast. But tell this child they should
• 12:34
  not believe everything they are told.
• 12:38
  Hug this child, tell this child that they are loved, they are
• 12:44
  important. And tell this child you will
• 12:51
  protect them. And then say goodbye and go
• 12:57
  forwards in time, a year or two, perhaps just a few days before
• 13:06
  the brainwashing started. And when you see that child
• 13:12
  again, just a year or two older, notice how happy they are to see
• 13:17
  you because they know that you care.
• 13:22
  That child knows you want the best for that child.
• 13:28
  No criticism, no shaming, no threats, and no gas lighting.
• 13:36
  You want the best for that child.
• 13:41
  And tell them that in the next few days they will be told
• 13:45
  things that aren't true. They will be told lies about
• 13:50
  thunderstorm and lightning and when they hear it they don't
• 13:57
  have to believe the lies. The thunderstorms are just
• 14:03
  nature. Thunderstorms just happen often
• 14:09
  in summer after a period of lots of heat and humidity.
• 14:18
  Nothing to do with curses or judgement.
• 14:23
  Nothing to do with punishment or pain, just nature.
• 14:33
  And if that younger version of you accepts that to be true, I
• 14:39
  want you to feel that you have planted a seed of a new tree in
• 14:45
  the exact place where someone else wanted to plant a different
• 14:50
  tree. You are planting a tree of
• 14:55
  resilience and confidence, not fear and shame.
• 15:04
  And then just imagine observing a few days that first time where
• 15:10
  someone close to you tried to make you convinced that you were
• 15:15
  responsible for thunderstorms, that you were causing
• 15:20
  destruction or pain. But just see that child hearing
• 15:28
  the words but not believing the words.
• 15:35
  They don't believe that it's true.
• 15:39
  And then see, as time goes on, even more effort is made to
• 15:46
  trick the child to believe something that isn't true, to
• 15:55
  use coercion, and people all ganging up on the child.
• 16:01
  But that child is strong. That child does not believe
• 16:06
  these lies. And because they reject the
• 16:10
  lies, they also reject the connotations of the lies.
• 16:18
  I want you to imagine that small child believe something secretly
• 16:24
  about thunderstorms, that they are fascinating.
• 16:31
  Thunderstorms are just wonders of nature.
• 16:35
  Powerful, incredible things, but natural.
• 16:42
  And actually, I want you to see the next thunderstorm.
• 16:49
  I want you to see a child that rather than feeling scared or
• 16:53
  hiding away or avoiding, I want you to see a child that stares
• 16:59
  into the sky when if there's a thunderstorm, hoping to catch
• 17:05
  the forked lightning counting the seconds between lightning
• 17:10
  and Thunder. I want you to see a child with
• 17:15
  thunderstorms are magnificent, wonderful, and see in the
• 17:28
  following days, maybe relatives are saying how scary it was, how
• 17:35
  terrifying it was. But you know yourself, and I
• 17:40
  want you to see the facial expression of that child hearing
• 17:43
  these conversations with a secret smile because they don't
• 17:49
  believe that. They believe that thunderstorms
• 17:52
  are marvellous, exciting, fun. There's something powerful about
• 18:02
  electricity coming from the clouds to the ground, and that
• 18:07
  child is hearing all of these stories of destruction.
• 18:12
  But they think thunderstorms are amazing, and I want you to
• 18:18
  imagine stepping into the body of that child, hearing the words
• 18:24
  from a parent or a grandparent. But even at that age of 9 or 10
• 18:31
  or 11, you've already made-up your own mind as to what
• 18:37
  thunderstorms really are. Incredible gifts in nature.
• 18:45
  They're amazing. And just imagine, the very next
• 18:48
  thunderstorm is happening late at night, and while everyone's
• 18:53
  asleep, you find a way to look into the sky, hoping to see the
• 19:02
  lightning. One thing to hear that rumble of
• 19:06
  Thunder, it feels the truest sense of the word or the power
• 19:20
  to amaze and be amazed by nature.
• 19:25
  And then imagine the following day hearing these stories of oh,
• 19:28
  how scary it was, how terrifying it was, but feel how you would
• 19:34
  feel. You don't have to say it, you
• 19:38
  just know it, that it isn't true for you.
• 19:44
  What's true for you is that thunderstorms are natural, and
• 19:50
  if they cause damage, the damage can be repaired.
• 19:54
  If crops get affected, that's what happens.
• 20:02
  And we need to get a sense that even at that young age,
• 20:08
  thunderstorms are cool. Incredible.
• 20:13
  Amazing. Not to be feared, but to be
• 20:18
  respected. There was a fine line between
• 20:22
  fearless and reckless. You can respect the power of a
• 20:28
  thunderstorm and still not want to go out in the middle of a
• 20:34
  thunderstorm holding a big metal pole.
• 20:39
  Why would you? Someone doesn't have to be
• 20:43
  afraid of a dog to not want to go near a dog that is snarling
• 20:49
  and aggressive. That's not being afraid.
• 20:54
  That's being responsible, intelligent.
• 21:00
  I want you to imagine jumping forward five years.
• 21:05
  There you are as a teenager, and imagine you're still hearing all
• 21:10
  of this nonsense about thunderstorms are scary and
• 21:15
  you're told that you're to blame.
• 21:18
  It's you. And just imagine, every time you
• 21:24
  hear something like that, you reject it.
• 21:29
  They can't make you believe that it's true, and the harder they
• 21:33
  try, the more you reject the very premise of the idea.
• 21:40
  In fact, it feels laughable, humorous.
• 21:46
  How could a child be responsible for a thunderstorm?
• 21:52
  And the more it's said, the more ridiculous it sounds.
• 21:57
  And the more ridiculous it sounds, the more something
• 22:01
  within you finds thunderstorms fascinating.
• 22:06
  These people that are trying to control and scare you.
• 22:11
  You quite like it that thunderstorms bother them so
• 22:14
  much, but they don't bother you. Imagine being a young adult and
• 22:25
  seeing a really intense thunderstorm and just wanting to
• 22:30
  watch it. Imagine watching a weather
• 22:33
  report, hoping to see thunderstorms there in the next
• 22:40
  few days. You like driving in intense
• 22:48
  rain. It feels somehow peaceful.
• 22:53
  If there's any parts of the world that have more
• 22:55
  thunderstorms, that's a reason to go, not to avoid.
• 23:00
  I want you to get a sense that this is more than just
• 23:07
  thunderstorms. It was you learning to think for
• 23:11
  yourself, to spot hypocrisy early, to see when people's
• 23:21
  words don't match their actions, and then realise that anything
• 23:26
  they say probably has an agenda. Arbitrary rules.
• 23:38
  Religion used to control and coerce you reject it.
• 23:44
  You can take the very best bits of any religion, the bits that
• 23:49
  work for you make your life fuller, richer, muffle of
• 23:56
  kindness and love and respect, and the bits that are used to
• 24:01
  control or shame you reject them.
• 24:09
  You can think for yourself, and I want you to imagine this
• 24:14
  ripples through time and imagine it was more than just you not
• 24:22
  being afraid of thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are now evidence
• 24:29
  that you get to think and feel for yourself.
• 24:35
  Just because someone tells you something is true doesn't mean
• 24:38
  it is. You don't believe everything you
• 24:43
  read in the news. You don't believe what
• 24:46
  politicians tell you all of the time.
• 24:50
  And not everything that comes from a parent or a relative is
• 24:55
  either true or beneficial for you.
• 24:58
  And I want you to feel a sense of liberation.
• 25:05
  I want you to imagine what it would now feel to be in your
• 25:09
  present, having had that whole past of you reject the very
• 25:17
  idea. And I want you to imagine you
• 25:23
  are waiting and wanting the next thunderstorm, knowing that any
• 25:30
  anxiety is just echoes of the past and nothing real.
• 25:37
  Because when you do the very thing that has been controlling
• 25:40
  you, you are calling the bluff. You are refusing to continue
• 25:49
  believing something untrue. You are just one or two
• 25:58
  thunderstorms away from freeing yourself from the lies of your
• 26:06
  childhood, the shame that was never yours, the pressure that
• 26:13
  was never yours. And I want you to imagine
• 26:20
  observing that future version of you, looking forward to the next
• 26:25
  thunderstorm. The lightning represents power,
• 26:33
  and that power exists within you.
• 26:37
  The Thunder represents your voice, being able to say what
• 26:44
  you never said. Even the energy in the air tells
• 26:52
  you how powerful you truly are. Before we leave this experience,
• 27:05
  I want you to imagine a baby circus elephant.
• 27:11
  And a baby elephant is tied with a rope to a wooden post.
• 27:22
  And a baby elephant is small. And when it tries to get away,
• 27:29
  no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't.
• 27:33
  And at some point that baby elephant starts to believe that
• 27:38
  it is impossible to ever escape the rope and the post.
• 27:45
  But as years go by, the once small elephant is now huge.
• 27:53
  But the elephant has stopped trying.
• 27:57
  And as you observe that adult elephant with a tiny rope on
• 28:02
  that wooden post, you know the elephant can walk away whenever
• 28:07
  it chooses, but has stopped trying.
• 28:14
  Because the elephant believes something that was true once,
• 28:19
  it's now stopped them finding freedom when all they have to do
• 28:24
  is take one step away. And what's true for the elephant
• 28:30
  is true for you. There was a time that you were
• 28:35
  powerless, a small child with the power of parents and
• 28:43
  grandparents. You started to believe something
• 28:48
  that wasn't true because you had very little other choice.
• 28:53
  But you are not that child. And what was true once is no
• 28:58
  longer true. And the very premise of the fear
• 29:02
  and the shame and the judgement was never true.
• 29:08
  And the truth will set you free. As you breathe in and breathe
• 29:15
  out, I want you to notice. Notice an apple tree, a Big
• 29:24
  Apple tree. But just imagine that somewhere
• 29:29
  back in time, that apple tree was pulled out by the roots and
• 29:35
  a pear tree was planted instead. An apple tree can only produce
• 29:43
  apples, and a pear tree can only produce pears.
• 29:50
  Because you've gone back in time to the very point where this
• 29:56
  false fear was planted and planted something else, a tree
• 30:00
  of fascination rather than a tree of fear.
• 30:07
  You have now enabled yourself to find something that once was
• 30:13
  fearful fascinating, and the the more you research and think of
• 30:19
  it, the more fascinating it becomes.
• 30:25
  It's time to leave this thought and return back to the present.
• 30:31
  Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 30:35
  nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle
• 30:37
  your toes as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 30:42
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 30:47
  That's it. Fully, fully wide awake.
• 30:49
  Wide Awake 910 fully in the present.
