0:05
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.
0:37
Hi, it's Adam here, and you're about to listen to a hypnosis
0:41
session all about breaking a dependency on ketamine.
0:46
And ketamine is one of those treatments that has been gaining
0:52
popularity. Because.
0:54
It has been. Proven to have.
0:56
Positive impacts on people with anxiety, some elements of
0:59
depression and enhanced neuroplasticity.
1:03
But with anything that has benefits it can lead to
1:07
dependencies and I was working with a client that.
1:11
Had really used. It to make several
1:12
breakthroughs, but now they were in a position where they felt
1:16
that they were becoming too reliant on ketamine to live
1:20
their life in the way that they wanted.
1:23
What this hypnosis session does is it treats it like you can
1:28
bank the benefits of everything that it's done up to this point.
1:31
But. Without needing to keep using
1:34
it. And it uses a metaphor of
1:36
training wheels on a child's bike.
1:39
Because. Training wheels can be very
1:41
useful for a young child to learn how to ride because they
1:45
don't fall off, but it's only ever meant to be a temporary
1:50
measure. If a child is using the training
1:53
wheels for too long, then they start becoming too dependent and
1:56
they start believing that they can't ride the bike without
1:59
them. And that's a very good metaphor
2:01
for any drug that has a time when it was useful but is now
2:06
becoming dependent. And I would say this session
2:10
could also work for people that have used the GLP 1 treatments.
2:16
Now whether? That's Ozempic or Monjaro.
2:19
Those kind of medications may have had a time when they were
2:23
beneficial, but if people can only maintain a weight if they
2:27
keep using them. Again.
2:29
You've got that element of dependency.
2:31
So this session uses regression to a time where they did not
2:34
have any ketamine and felt very clear headed, very resourceful
2:39
and in a good place. And it uses.
2:41
That to remind them that actually they probably don't
2:44
need ketamine anymore. So if you can relate to ketamine
2:48
or any other medication that you feel too dependent and you feel
2:51
like you've had the benefits, but now you're just getting the
2:53
dependency, you will get some value from this session.
2:57
It was created for an individual though, therefore.
3:00
Some of the. References to being on a lake
3:03
house in India probably won't make sense for you if you've
3:06
never been to a lake house in India and haven't felt good
3:09
without any dependency in that place.
3:12
But at a metaphorical level, it can still work for you.
3:15
So just disregard any suggestions that don't directly
3:18
fit you. Absorb and accept any
3:21
suggestions that are beneficial. And if you are interested in
3:25
working with me directly, have a look either on my website
3:27
adamcox.co.uk or in the description to this episode and
3:32
you'll be able to find all the details to explore working with
3:35
me directly. For now, though, all I want you
3:37
to do is to find a quiet, comfortable place where you
3:40
won't be distracted or disturbed.
3:43
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
4:05
breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and
4:10
relaxation. And as you exhale, give
4:19
permission for any tension, stress, or worries to feel like
4:24
it's melting away and leaving your body in your outward
4:29
breath, breathing in a wonderful feeling of peace and calm and
4:39
releasing any chaos and tension. So much so that each breath
4:45
facilitates A deeper, more relaxing experience.
4:54
With your eyes closed and eyelids feeling heavier, you're
4:58
able to focus more on the sound of my voice.
5:03
Each breath takes you deeper and more relaxed, enabling neural
5:14
pathways to be more receptive to change.
5:18
And as your physical body relaxes, your imagination
5:24
awakens. So just scan your body and see
5:34
if you can assess any ways to improve the comfort.
5:40
Of your position. Take a deep breath in and just
5:48
release as you exhale. Then another slow breath in and
5:56
an even slower breath as you exhale.
6:04
And with each breath, allow your body to settle your shoulders,
6:11
soften and relax your jaw, unclench.
6:16
Release even more now and just quiet in your mind.
6:23
This hypnosis isn't about forcing anything to happen, it
6:29
simply allows the mind to reconnect and recalibrate with
6:37
something that already exists within you.
6:45
And as your breathing becomes slower and steadier, don't be
6:50
surprised if your imagination in your mind can travel.
6:58
Some people believe in astral projection, that your
7:05
imagination can travel in space but also in time.
7:11
And I want you to think of a place and time where you felt at
7:17
peace, a time when you felt clear headed.
7:23
And maybe that place was far away, a different continent, a
7:31
different country, ours outside a large city.
7:36
I want you to think of a large lake house next to a tranquil
7:43
lake, far away from the chaos, the energy of the city.
7:52
And I want you to connect with somewhere quieter, maybe
7:58
recognize the place, or maybe your imagination creates a new
8:01
place like it. You could think of a lake house
8:06
beside calm water, with large trees that seem to have been
8:14
intentional. They were planted or moved there
8:20
to enhance the surrounding. You could imagine leaves and
8:26
branches, and I want you to imagine the sun setting there by
8:33
the lake, and perhaps as evening arrives the air becomes softer
8:40
and cooler. The sky above it starts filling
8:46
with bright stars, clear, vivid, endless.
8:54
Not just stars, but galaxies, nebula.
9:00
I want you to imagine how it felt to be there.
9:06
Peaceful, clear headed, self trusting and in that moment
9:16
realized that you didn't need anything to enhance it.
9:22
No need for it, just you thinking clearly, speaking
9:31
naturally, feeling resourceful. And I want you to think what it
9:41
would be like to be by the stillness of the lake, all on
9:47
your own. There may be other people
9:49
nearby, maybe in the lake house or further away, but just
9:54
connect with you. The gentle movement of water,
9:59
the quiet sounds of nature. Connect without feeling of
10:04
safety and calm. And as you sit or stand near
10:10
that lake, I want you to imagine a wonderful feeling.
10:19
A feeling of connection clarity, that just as your normal
10:26
pathways can connect, you can connect.
10:30
And what if this place wasn't just a location?
10:38
What if this facilitated a state of mind, a pocket of peace?
10:45
Some people believe that any emotion, any sensation you
10:50
experience, even just once, can be harnessed, replicated, and
10:56
utilized again. Because the interesting thing
11:01
about a pocket is that you can take it with you.
11:07
I want you to imagine that peaceful, clear feeling by the
11:11
lake. I want you to imagine where that
11:16
clear headedness feels. Is it by your temple, the back
11:22
of your head, the top of your head, or just there around your
11:26
head? Imagine a colour that represents
11:32
that clear headedness. Maybe a shape or a sound.
11:37
And the more you think of that colour, that shape, that sound,
11:42
the more the pocket of peace and clear headedness begins settling
11:47
deeper inside you. And then imagine that self
11:55
trust. Maybe you feel it somewhere
11:59
deeper. The gut, the solar plexus, the
12:03
chest. And if that had a colour, a
12:07
shape, a sound, what would self trust feel like?
12:13
What would it be like? And the combination of that
12:18
clear headedness and that self trust is your pocket of peace.
12:25
Whenever you think of these colours, sounds and shapes,
12:29
whenever you breathe, the way you breathe there by the lake,
12:35
it's like reaching into that pocket of peace and feeling.
12:40
You can access that state whenever you need it, even in a
12:46
busy city, even in difficult moments.
12:54
And from this peaceful state, I wonder if you can detach and
12:59
look at your journey with honesty and wisdom.
13:05
Maybe there was a time when ketamine served a purpose.
13:10
It helped open new perspectives. Maybe it helped your brain
13:16
become more flexible, adaptable. Maybe it gave you the ability to
13:23
see new ones and Shades of Grey where before it was just black
13:27
and white. Maybe it'll help you discover
13:31
parts of yourself that had always been there but locked.
13:36
New levels of confidence, self belief, creativity and all those
13:45
benefits are real. But what if now you realize
13:52
something deeply profound? What if the ketamine was just
14:00
the key to open up those feelings that were already in
14:06
you? Ketamine simply helped you
14:10
access them. I want you to imagine perhaps by
14:18
the lake, this time in the daytime, or maybe somewhere
14:22
else. Imagine a child learning to ride
14:26
a bicycle and at first they use training wheels to stabilize.
14:36
The training wheels give stability, they give confidence,
14:43
and they allow the child to learn balance safely and for a
14:49
time. Those training wheels are
14:52
helpful because if the child started trying to ride the bike
15:01
on two wheels immediately, what if they fell off so many times
15:07
that they created a belief that wasn't true, that they couldn't
15:12
ride the bike. But when they learned to ride
15:16
the bike with the training wheels, something interesting
15:20
happens. They create a belief and
15:23
identity that they can ride the bike, but if the training wheels
15:29
stay on too long and they stop helping, they actually start
15:36
holding the rider back because the child stops learning how to
15:42
balance and then becomes dependent on the training
15:47
wheels. When the child already has the
15:51
skill, already has the confidence, keeping the training
15:57
wheels on becomes an impediment, not an advantage.
16:06
And then imagine seeing the training wheels come off, not
16:12
because they were bad, but simply because they served their
16:17
purpose and now they are no longer needed.
16:25
And imagine seeing that child, nervous, daunted because they
16:33
got used to the training wheels and then they wobble.
16:39
But then they find their balance and the moment they are riding
16:45
faster and further than ever before.
16:51
If you were to ask the child if they want to have those training
16:55
wheels put back on, of course they would say no, because life
17:02
is better without them. And as you imagine sitting or
17:08
standing by that peaceful lake, you realize that you can bank
17:15
everything useful. What if you could keep the
17:23
insights, the confidence, the expanded thinking, the
17:29
creativity? What if all of those things
17:33
remain because they belong to your brain?
17:39
The mind has already changed, The locks have already been
17:46
opened, the growth has already happened, and now your mind
17:54
understands something powerful. Since you've used them so often,
18:01
you can access these states naturally, clearly, soberly, and
18:10
when your mind is clear headed. What's interesting is those
18:15
qualities actually become stronger, more stable, more
18:23
reliable. And as you look out across the
18:29
lake, I want you to begin to see a hologram of you in your future
18:36
forming. It almost seems to have an
18:41
evolved identity, a version of you that is subtly different.
18:48
Maybe it's back in the city, but you still look calm, centred,
18:54
self trusting. And if you were to describe that
18:58
future version of you, you would say clear headed or self
19:06
trusting. But this identity has one
19:12
crucial difference. There is no dependency or desire
19:18
for ketamine because that version of you trusts your mind.
19:27
They trust your ability to think clearly.
19:33
They trust your ability to handle life without needing any
19:38
chemical assistance. That version of you does not
19:42
need the training wheels. And just as you felt this way in
19:49
India, you can feel this way in the present and the future
19:59
because every day you decide you don't need it.
20:03
Self trust grows stronger. Every time you handle a
20:08
difficult situation sober, your brain records the evidence that
20:13
you can do this. That you already have what you
20:17
need. And what if that trust becomes
20:21
stronger than any substance? You've banked all the benefits
20:28
and now broken free of the shackles of those training
20:33
wheels that you don't need anymore, because all of those
20:37
resources come from within, and the more you trust yourself, the
20:45
less any external thing is needed.
20:51
And I want you to imagine placing that lake, the stars,
20:56
the trees, even all of the nature of that part of India
21:02
inside your mind into a pocket, as if that place becomes a
21:09
permanent inner refuge, a pocket of peace that you carry with you
21:16
everywhere. And whenever you need calm, you
21:21
can return there. Whenever you need clarity, you
21:27
can return there. And whenever you want to
21:31
remember who you truly are, without the influence of
21:36
ketamine, you can return there. Clear headed, self trusting, and
21:45
most importantly, free. Because from this point forward,
21:52
ketamine simply becomes an echo of the past, a temporary tool, a
22:01
set of training wheels. They were useful for a time, but
22:07
not only no longer necessary, now they are the impediment.
22:15
Because you already know how to balance.
22:18
You already know how to move forward.
22:21
You already know how to trust yourself.
22:25
And as that understanding settles deeper into your mind,
22:31
that quiet confidence begins to grow.
22:35
The confidence of someone who truly knows you have what you
22:40
need, your mind is clear and your trust is within you.
22:46
I want you to imagine leaving the lake, floating all the way
22:57
up into the stars, and then returning all the way to your
23:03
present. Reverse that astral projection
23:08
back to the here and the now as you take a deep breath in
23:13
through your nose and out through your nose.
23:19
Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes, connect and calibrate
23:23
into the here and the now as very soon I will count from 1:00
23:28
to 10:00 to awaken you. And you will awaken feeling
23:32
clear headed, full of self trust, with a feeling that
23:36
ketamine is no longer something you need and in fact don't even
23:42
want. Starting to count. 123 waking up
23:48
456 More alert. 7-8 Open your eyes, open your eyes. 910 wide
