  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside

  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 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.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And then this episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:48
  created for a client that was very successful, had managed to
• 0:54
  retire early, had a very incredible life in terms of
• 1:00
  freedom and choices, got to travel a lot, do a lot of
• 1:04
  skiing, quite athletic even being in there, you know, close
• 1:10
  to 60 years old. They were very, very physically
• 1:14
  capable and yet didn't evaluate themselves in the same way.
• 1:19
  Very critical of themselves, very harsh in terms of their
• 1:24
  evaluations, focused on what wasn't well in their life rather
• 1:29
  than all the good things that were.
• 1:31
  And this in a dialogue, was almost kind of like an abusive
• 1:34
  bully trying to kind of knock their confidence, trying to talk
• 1:38
  them down, trying to make them feel bad about themselves.
• 1:42
  So what you're going to hear in this hypnosis session is a
• 1:46
  metaphor that uses a ship, and it uses a ship in the sense that
• 1:51
  most people get the idea that there's a captain on the ship,
• 1:54
  but if the captain loses authority, then the crew can
• 1:58
  start taking over. You can have these mutinies.
• 2:01
  And that's kind of what happened here, where the inner dialogue
• 2:05
  was more influential over this individual's life than their own
• 2:11
  sense of self. And that wasn't doing them any
• 2:14
  favours. So this uses this idea of a ship
• 2:18
  to represent this idea of, let's say, dissenting voices, but also
• 2:24
  a metaphor of challenging the playground bully, the archetype
• 2:29
  of the abuser that can keep pushing and pushing until you
• 2:35
  stand up to them. You've got that element going
• 2:38
  on, but also that they get to see themselves how someone else
• 2:44
  that was looking at their positive qualities would see in
• 2:48
  order to reactivate that feeling of self worth and then future
• 2:52
  pace that. And I think this is going to be
• 2:54
  useful. At the time I published that
• 2:56
  it's I think the day before Chris, New Year's Eve.
• 2:59
  So this is going to be quite good because there will be
• 3:03
  someone listening to this that also has some form of inner
• 3:08
  dialogue that's talking them down, says they won't achieve or
• 3:12
  amount to much. And that's a good thing to make
• 3:16
  that change now right before a brand new year.
• 3:20
  So think of how you want your life to be.
• 3:24
  Think of this ship sailing in a particular destination or
• 3:28
  direction. The direction will be your
• 3:30
  intentions, the destination will be whatever you measure success,
• 3:35
  whatever you want your future to be like.
• 3:38
  And perhaps that dissenting voice isn't in a dialogue.
• 3:42
  Or it could be someone that exists in real life.
• 3:45
  Maybe it's someone else that you need to stand up to.
• 3:48
  You know, a partner that no longer values you, or a
• 3:51
  friendship that no longer serves you.
• 3:54
  Allow it to be whatever is going to be useful for you.
• 3:58
  And as always, this session was created as a result of a real
• 4:03
  client session. Not all of these suggestions are
• 4:05
  going to fit with you and your life and your situation.
• 4:08
  So if you do like the idea of working with me directly, of
• 4:12
  having a one to one session, have a little look in the show
• 4:15
  notes. If you're listening on Spotify
• 4:17
  or Apple Podcasts, there will be some little dots or more info.
• 4:21
  You can have a look at the notes connected to the episode and
• 4:25
  there should be a link there that enables you to book a free
• 4:28
  30 minute consultation call to Exlore working with me directly.
• 4:32
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:34
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:25
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 5:34
  slow, long, relaxing breath of resourcefulness.
• 5:41
  And as you exhale, feel a wonderful sense that any tension
• 5:51
  and stress you can feel in your body is starting to melt away
• 5:57
  and just leave in that outward breath.
• 6:06
  Breathing in that slow, long, relaxing breath, you start to
• 6:12
  notice clues. Clues of tension blocks.
• 6:22
  I want you to get a sense that those blocks are starting to
• 6:28
  open. Tension is melting away as you
• 6:35
  give permission to start to go deeper and deeper relaxed.
• 6:51
  With your eyes closed, notice how much more attention you can
• 6:57
  give to the sound of my voice. Breathing in and breathing out.
• 7:07
  Continuing to let go of tension, stress, or any worries,
• 7:12
  particularly those that are weighing on you, and with each
• 7:17
  breath feel yourself sinking deeper into a state of calm and
• 7:24
  peace. And maybe you could imagine a
• 7:28
  wave of relaxation starting at the very top of your head,
• 7:36
  rippling and trickling down down your forehead, your cheeks, into
• 7:42
  your jaw, down your neck and your shoulders, going all the
• 7:48
  way down your arms into your fingers.
• 7:52
  Feeling this wave of relaxation just take you deeper and deeper,
• 7:59
  relaxed. Feel it continue down into your
• 8:05
  torso, release any anxiety there in the gut.
• 8:11
  Feel your chest loosen so you're breathing deeper effortlessly.
• 8:19
  The ripple of relaxation continues down your legs, all
• 8:23
  the way down, deep down to the very tips of your toes.
• 8:31
  With every breath, you go deeper into this relaxed state,
• 8:37
  allowing the outside world to just fade away, leaving you here
• 8:44
  in this moment, safe and secure. And as you relax more deeply,
• 8:53
  you begin to feel a growing sense of curiosity about the
• 9:00
  journey we're about to take. A journey into your true worth,
• 9:07
  your true power and your true self.
• 9:15
  I want you to use the power of your imagination to imagine a
• 9:22
  beautiful old fashioned ship. The kind of ships that would
• 9:28
  have been sailing 200 years ago across the oceans around the
• 9:35
  Caribbean. Big sails, a mast, a crow's nest
• 9:44
  to look for land, wooden decks, big wooden steering wheel.
• 9:52
  But imagine this beautiful ship sailing on calm open waters.
• 10:00
  And let's just imagine that this is the ship of your life.
• 10:07
  And imagine that you are it's captain.
• 10:12
  And for a moment, notice how the ship responds to the gentle
• 10:18
  waves, how it glides forward with strength and purpose.
• 10:25
  This ship is your ship. It has always been yours.
• 10:33
  And today, we're going to take full command of this ship.
• 10:44
  As you stand at the helm of this ship, imagine there is a voice.
• 10:51
  A voice that's been trying to take control.
• 10:56
  A critical, mutinous voice. This voice has always been
• 11:02
  critical, harsh, even abusive, whispering doubts, shouts,
• 11:11
  insults, and tries to steer your ship away from where you want it
• 11:17
  to go. And this voice might feel
• 11:22
  familiar, but today you will face it.
• 11:28
  You will stand up to it. As you listen to this voice,
• 11:36
  imagine it now, not as part of you, but it's a figure.
• 11:46
  And maybe it's the archetype of a schoolyard bully, perhaps a
• 11:53
  father figure, someone standing in front of you, sneering,
• 11:59
  taunting, trying to push your buttons.
• 12:05
  And they have been successful in the past.
• 12:09
  They've intimidated you, coerced you, controlled you, made you
• 12:14
  doubt yourself for far too long. And this figure has had that
• 12:22
  power for too long. But not anymore, because today
• 12:30
  you take back your power. Imagine yourself now strong and
• 12:42
  steady on the dock of that ship, looking this bully straight in
• 12:51
  the eyes, no longer fearing their words.
• 12:58
  Their words don't sting anymore. You know they've been trying to
• 13:04
  manipulate you all this time, but enough is enough.
• 13:14
  As you imagine staring them in the eye, notice how your
• 13:19
  confidence begins to rise. They've been gaslighting you for
• 13:25
  years. Not anymore.
• 13:30
  You start to see yourself as good, as strong, as confident,
• 13:37
  as worthy. Imagine yourself standing
• 13:42
  taller, your shoulders back, your head held high.
• 13:47
  And now imagine what it feels like to draw on your inner
• 13:53
  strength and punch the representation of that voice
• 14:02
  right in the nose. Feel a sense that you are
• 14:10
  establishing a new dynamic. You've drawn a line in the sand.
• 14:17
  Never again feel the power of that moment as you take back
• 14:27
  control, as you establish a new dynamic where you are the
• 14:34
  leader, the captain, the one who decides how your life will be.
• 14:46
  Feel the silence that follows the bully.
• 14:52
  The abuser has been put in their place and see them try to use
• 14:59
  their same tricks, but their words have no sting anymore.
• 15:06
  Their harsh criticisms have no power.
• 15:11
  In fact, the harder they try to make you feel bad and worthless,
• 15:16
  the more you realise it just doesn't work anymore.
• 15:20
  Because now you are free to steer your ship in any direction
• 15:28
  you choose. As the captain of your ship,
• 15:36
  take a moment to reflect on everything that makes you
• 15:42
  uniquely you. Imagine you were looking at
• 15:49
  yourself through the eyes of someone who truly admires you.
• 15:55
  Maybe a previous relationship or a future relationship.
• 16:01
  Someone who loves and values every part of who you are.
• 16:08
  Put yourself in their body, seeing you standing on that
• 16:11
  ship. What do they see?
• 16:17
  They see your strengths, your kindness, your resilience.
• 16:26
  They admire your accomplishments, the things
• 16:31
  you've overcome, the dreams you are working towards, your
• 16:38
  physical prowess and abilities. And they see the way you make
• 16:45
  others feel, your youthful spirit, the laughter you bring,
• 16:53
  the love you share. They see your determination,
• 16:59
  your desire to improve and grow and develop, your creativity,
• 17:06
  your compassion. See yourself as they see you,
• 17:15
  and let yourself feel their admiration now as if it's a warm
• 17:21
  light shining down on you. And as you bask in this light,
• 17:28
  you begin to realize that you would rather be yourself, with
• 17:34
  all your qualities and uniqueness than anyone else on
• 17:39
  the planet. You want to be you.
• 17:45
  There is no one else who can be you.
• 17:48
  No one else has gone on your path, done what you've done,
• 17:52
  experience what you've experienced, and no one else can
• 17:57
  offer what you offer. As you hold on to this feeling
• 18:05
  of self worth, imagine planting a flag at the top of the mast of
• 18:11
  your ship. This flag represents your
• 18:15
  commitment to yourself, to value and appreciate who you are.
• 18:22
  It's a symbol of your leadership, your strength, and
• 18:28
  your decision to be the captain of your own life, the master of
• 18:35
  your own destiny. And whenever you hear that
• 18:41
  critical voice again, remember that bully.
• 18:47
  Remember how you stood up to it. Feel the strength of that moment
• 18:53
  and know that you can silence it any time you choose.
• 19:00
  Or maybe be playful with him, curious.
• 19:04
  Coax it into finding the Nuggets of gold.
• 19:09
  The 1% is actually useful because you are the captain now
• 19:17
  and you steer this ship where you want it to go and maybe you
• 19:25
  have a destination in mind. If the ship is your life, the
• 19:31
  future is a destination. Think of where you'd like to be
• 19:36
  a year or two and imagine seeing you living that life, full of
• 19:45
  self acceptance, self love, self worth.
• 19:51
  See that version of you being given compliments and receiving
• 19:57
  them well, with gratitude, genuineness.
• 20:07
  Maybe you see yourself in a loving relationship that feels
• 20:11
  fulfilling, and as you observe that version of you feel that of
• 20:18
  course you deserve it. It makes sense.
• 20:25
  That you're happy in your future because you deserve it.
• 20:34
  As you get a glimpse of that future, you realise that there
• 20:41
  are many different destinations that this ship could be sailed
• 20:44
  to. But think about how the early
• 20:49
  explorers found new lands by intending to go to one place and
• 20:58
  unexpectedly finding somewhere completely different.
• 21:04
  Set your intentions, but be open to the magic that life has in
• 21:11
  store to steer you in wonderful, unexpected new places.
• 21:22
  It's now time to return back to the here and now, feeling like a
• 21:28
  shift has taken place. Something's changed.
• 21:35
  You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, and maybe a
• 21:39
  change has taken place that can't be undone.
• 21:44
  And as you hold that thought, take a deep breath in through
• 21:47
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 21:53
  Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 21:55
  Connect fully into the here and now as I now count from 1:00 to
• 22:00
  10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count. 123 waking
• 22:08
  up. 456, more alert. 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 22:14
  Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
