0:34

0:40
Hi. It's Adam here and in today's.
0:43
Episode of The Hypnotist. You're going to be listening to
0:46
an addiction hypnosis session and it.
0:49
Was really created? For a client that wanted to.
0:54
Lose their desire for. Using cocaine, and it was very
1:01
much from their perspective that they wanted to start with the
1:06
desire element. And that's an important element
1:10
because just using willpower and having the premise that you want
1:15
the thing, but you can't have it quite often.
1:18
Creates a polarity. Response of binging and craving
1:22
because it's based on the idea of deprivation, whereas once the
1:27
desire diminishes, then actually that can make it so that you
1:33
don't even want that thing. And I've used this analogy a few
1:36
times, but if you think of your favorite meal, whatever your
1:40
favorite meal is, and then just imagine a few people spitting on
1:45
that meal, your desire can go to.
1:47
Disgust rapidly. And then it takes no willpower
1:51
whatsoever not to eat that meal because you no longer want it.
1:57
And also if you know a vegan, for example, quite often vegans
2:01
have very specific ideas about what meat and the meat industry
2:07
means to them. So if it's.
2:10
Linked to cruelty, or if it's linked to even the idea of
2:14
murder, then they don't need any.
2:16
Willpower not. To eat meat because how they
2:20
think about meat means that it's just not desirable for them.
2:25
And it's these principles that are linked to the idea of
2:29
cocaine. And this particular client knew
2:33
that it would. Have Health?
2:35
Consequences. They knew that it would.
2:37
Have issues that could relate to their.
2:40
Finances and relationships and and all different things and
2:46
they didn't want those things. So it was framed almost as what
2:51
had happened so far was almost a bit of a near miss and with
2:56
those new connotations connected to it.
2:59
The goal? Was to bring the desire.
3:02
So it just. Was.
3:03
No longer desirable. If you're listening to this and
3:06
you. Have an addiction?
3:08
And it doesn't have to be cocaine.
3:10
It may be something else and you just don't want that anymore.
3:14
One of the definitions of addictions is that you can't
3:19
just stop when you want to. So if you've struggled with
3:22
something, whatever that thing is, and you feel like you can't
3:25
get a hold of it, then you're not alone because everyone that
3:29
has a defined version of an addiction also can't change that
3:35
thing. That's why finding someone that
3:37
can help. From the outside.
3:39
Is normally quite useful to change that, so if there is
3:42
anything you want to change particularly.
3:45
If it is. A substance of some kind, and I
3:47
would include alcohol, nicotine, and even sugar in that.
3:53
Then it's worth scheduling that free consultation call with me
3:56
to explore whether or not I could be a.
3:58
Hypnotherapist to help you have that future that you want.
4:01
For now, though, find a quiet. Comfortable place where you
4:04
won't be disturbed. Relax.
4:06
And enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
5:04
you breathe in, breathe in a calm, relaxing breath, and as
5:12
you exhale, just allow any feelings of worry, stress, or
5:18
tension to feel like it's leaving your body in your
5:23
outward breath. Breathing in that resourceful
5:29
relaxation and continuing to exhale that tension.
5:39
Notice that when your eyes are closed, you're able to give more
5:45
of your attention to the sound of my voice.
5:50
So maybe your eyes are already closed, or maybe on the next
5:57
exhale, allow your eyes to just feel so heavy, the eyelids
6:06
naturally going down, enabling you to amplify your imagination.
6:19
The moment your senses stop evaluating the outside world,
6:28
they amplify your ability to navigate your internal world, a
6:36
world of memories, thoughts, ideas, and possibilities.
6:42
And it's in this place where profound changes take place
6:50
almost effortlessly. So as you breathe in and breathe
6:58
out, notice how your body relaxes and your imagination
7:05
awakens. And I want you to use the power
7:10
of your imagination to imagine a beautiful spa in Mexico.
7:18
I want you to imagine what it would be like to be in that spa,
7:23
wearing whatever clothing is appropriate for you to fully
7:28
enjoy that spa. And maybe the air is warm, maybe
7:34
there's a scent or a smell in the air.
7:40
Perhaps there's a sound of water, perhaps the movement of
7:46
water like trickles or fountains or bubbles coming from nearby
7:55
jets of water. I want you to use the power of
8:02
your imagination to imagine a steam room.
8:08
But this is no ordinary steam room.
8:12
This is a steam room where every droplet of steam there in the
8:20
air is vapour contains powerful resources.
8:26
So as you breathe in those resources that are just floating
8:30
in the air, you allow yourself to feel relaxed, calm,
8:36
confident, connected. And as you exhale, anything that
8:43
is undesirable or unuseful feels like it leaves your body in the
8:50
outward breath. And that may be tension or
8:54
fears, loneliness or concerns. Just allow that to leave your
9:00
body. As you feel the warmth of the
9:04
steam room, breathing in the vapour of resourcefulness, I
9:11
want you to get a sense that this is healing your lungs,
9:16
cleansing you from the inside. And I wonder if in that warm
9:26
steam room, you allow your muscles to relax, your breath to
9:32
deepen, and allow your body to sink into a state of pure bliss,
9:41
calmness and tranquility. Maybe the steam around you
9:47
creates a dreamy, almost surreal detachment and you alternate
9:54
from time in this steam room to a freezing cold plunge pool.
10:01
This is a plunge pool of invigoration.
10:06
As you go from hot to cold, feel the coldness activate every cell
10:11
in your body, giving you energy, focus, clarity and the
10:19
alternating temperatures of hot and cold heighten this sensation
10:25
of clarity and relaxation like a pendulum, feeling calm and
10:31
relaxed and then energetic and alert.
10:36
And this contrast of alertness and relaxation guides you into a
10:42
state of concentrated relaxation, like a
10:48
disassociation from the external world, where each shift between
10:54
the pools and then the steam room and back to the plunge
10:58
pools enables your mind to drift further, deeper, until all that
11:06
remains is your inner awareness, an awareness that is completely
11:12
open to a positive change. As you continue this process of
11:23
steam room to plunge ball and back and forth, feel yourself
11:28
becoming weightless, where your mind detaches from old patterns,
11:36
where you start to float in a space of endless possibility.
11:43
And maybe with each breath you go deeper, deeper into that
11:49
state of relaxation. And I'll countdown from 12:50.
11:54
But at this point, place yourself somewhere else in the
11:56
spa. No longer the steam room, no
11:59
longer the plunge pool, maybe just warm relaxing water.
12:06
And as I countdown from 12:50, you will feel yourself going
12:11
even deeper to that place where change happens. 10 That's it.
12:20
Deeper down now. 98 drifting. 76 deeper still. 54 getting closer
12:29
to that place. Some people call it hypnosis or
12:34
deep relaxation or something else.
12:38
Three and two and then one. And I wonder if you could
12:44
imagine being in a state of deep trance, where your subconscious
12:50
is ready to release any behaviours, thoughts or ideas
12:55
that no longer serves you. Spending time in the steam room
13:05
prompts you to remember maybe a time when you used to vape.
13:13
I want you to think back not to a time of vaping, but a time
13:16
where you learned that vaping was linked to some form of
13:20
illness or lung disease. Maybe it was an online article
13:25
or a video, but remember that moment where something that was
13:30
pleasurable just had new information attached, and then
13:36
the desirable, pleasurable thing lost all of its appeal.
13:43
And maybe you remember the shock or realization of discovering
13:50
that something that once was seen as harmless had the
13:55
potential to cause real, lasting consequences.
14:02
Feel that you're back in that body at the very moment when you
14:05
made that realization, that sudden awareness.
14:10
It changed how you felt about it, where your desire shifted,
14:16
because now you could no longer separate the action from its
14:22
effect. I want you to get a sense that
14:29
something that was once pleasurable can become
14:33
undesirable quickly. I want you to think of your
14:38
favorite meal. Perhaps a steak cooked in the
14:42
exact way you like it, mashed potatoes, vegetables at the
14:49
right temperature, served perhaps in a very desirable way
14:57
on a nice plate, a table with a cloth, nice cutlery.
15:03
And you could feel desire at just thinking about that meal.
15:08
But then imagine that it wouldn't take too much for
15:13
something to happen to make that desirable meal undesirable.
15:19
Maybe you could imagine someone spitting onto the meal, onto the
15:22
plate, onto the steak, or perhaps someone putting some
15:28
kind of flavouring that you dislike, a particular sauce or
15:32
spice or something else. Maybe you could even imagine
15:36
someone putting bits of flaky skin there on the meal, or
15:41
perhaps something smelly, disgusting, or even poisonous
15:48
that all it takes is to add something to something desirable
15:53
and it can lose its appeal immediately.
16:00
So imagine that steak with those added ingredients and notice
16:07
compulsion and desire has changed to aversion and
16:12
revulsion. What was once desired is now
16:17
disgusting. And notice just how quickly that
16:22
happened. And in the same way that vaping
16:29
changed how it felt for you. And a delicious meal can become
16:34
disgusting quickly. Your mind now opens to a new
16:39
understanding of cocaine, and perhaps you allow yourself to
16:46
fully grasp a reality that the action is not separate from the
16:55
consequences. But perhaps what once felt like
17:00
a thrill now has the idea that it could carry a cost that is
17:05
just too high, too risky. And just as you lost that desire
17:11
for vaping, the truth about Coke begins to shift your
17:17
perspective. Now I want you to imagine there
17:24
in that warm water of the spa, that you start to imagine a
17:30
future. I want you to imagine a future
17:34
where cocaine remains a part of your life, partying and then
17:42
continuing to use perhaps for days after.
17:46
And I want you to imagine stepping into that version of
17:50
you. But imagine it's six months from
17:52
now, 12 months from now, maybe even five years from now.
17:59
Feel how your body has changed, the impact it's had on your
18:05
health, your skin. Perhaps you can evaluate what
18:14
it's cost you financially, emotionally, physically, and
18:19
also with your mental health. Maybe there's clues around your
18:25
nose or your palate. But let's go to a place of
18:30
undesirable possibility. I want you to imagine not what
18:37
will happen, but what could happen five years from now.
18:44
What if using cocaine led to a slippery slope of undesirable
18:50
consequences? What if it led to harder, more
18:54
corrosive drugs? Scan your body and look for
19:01
clues of damage, perhaps around your nose or the upper part of
19:06
your mouth. Maybe corrosion.
19:10
Maybe there's a smell. Maybe there's pain somewhere in
19:14
your body. Maybe you've had a medical check
19:18
and something is happening to one of your internal organs.
19:24
Maybe it's taking its toll on your mind and your perceptions.
19:29
What if there's more paranoia, moments where you can't
19:33
differentiate between reality and your imagination?
19:41
What if those delusions or hallucinations get terrifying?
19:49
Maybe you can imagine feeling the weight of money that's been
19:53
wasted, something where you were paying to corrode and erode your
20:00
body. Imagine what that money could
20:04
have been used for to build a life of adventure, a family,
20:13
Something that could leave a legacy, but instead get the
20:20
sense that it's gone and the only clues that it ever existed
20:25
is the damage. It's caused your body, your
20:28
mind, perhaps even the lost possibilities of something you
20:35
would have truly valued. Feel that regret.
20:43
Amplify that regret. See the opportunities that were
20:48
lost. Maybe relationships that were
20:52
fraying. Maybe it led to some damage to
20:56
your business or the way your family members perceive you.
21:04
Maybe it led to relationship choices that were more about
21:07
gratification than connection. What did it cost you?
21:15
Go five years more into the future, 10 years from today, and
21:19
feel all the things that could have happened.
21:25
What if it led to the destruction of your income?
21:31
What if your sense of hygiene or personal pride just went all the
21:36
way down? What if coke led to something
21:40
worse, more destructive, like crack cocaine?
21:43
And maybe imagine looking in a mirror and seeing missing teeth,
21:51
skin with acne, missing fingernails.
21:57
Allow your mind to take you to somewhere.
21:59
Dark not because. It will happen, but just because
22:05
it could happen, there are many people in prisons or living on
22:11
the street that didn't end up there through choice.
22:17
It just became a chain reaction that may be linked to doing
22:22
something while under the influence.
22:26
I want you to get a sense that all of this is avoidable.
22:33
The shame, the fear, the regret, attempts at blackmail or
22:38
extortion, missed opportunities. You can avoid it all.
22:46
This is just a pathway, one of many possibilities.
22:54
I want you to get a sense that you get to avoid all of these
23:00
unfortunate possibilities. Damage to health, damage the
23:04
quality of your life, damage to what could have been.
23:11
Can imagine going all the way backwards, like everything's in
23:14
rewind, going back to that spa and instead allow yourself to
23:21
explore a different future, Something where from that point
23:28
forwards the idea or thought of coke was just spoiled, no longer
23:36
desirable, felt disgusting, tarnished, tainted, unpleasant
23:43
in some way. In fact, think of coke in the
23:48
way that it makes you feel a sense of revulsion or disgust,
23:54
like someone was forcing you to eat vomit.
23:59
Connect that to the thought of buying or using cocaine and
24:02
just. Harness that.
24:04
Feeling of revulsion, unpleasantness.
24:09
And what if that was a catalyst for a future where cocaine had
24:14
no hold over you at all? Imagine seeing yourself free.
24:21
Maybe it's three months, six months, a year from now.
24:27
You're making new friendships, new connections.
24:31
Maybe imagine yourself in a relationship that you feel has a
24:35
future. See your body looking strong,
24:39
full of energy, your mind sharp, clear, fully present in every
24:45
moment. See yourself with real
24:49
connections, filled with trust and meaning.
24:54
And then step into that future just to take it for a test drive
24:58
that you've been a year or two or three years, completely free
25:04
of any cocaine use. Experience the feeling of
25:09
freedom, of joy, of liberation, mental clarity.
25:15
That paranoia is gone. Instead, it's full of hope and
25:18
optimism and just a sense that things are going well.
25:24
Imagine being in a relationship with someone that you want to be
25:27
with forever and feel that nothing would make you sacrifice
25:33
that. I want you to get a sense that
25:37
everything feels better and you can remember a time when you
25:42
used to use, but it feels like a different version of you, that
25:46
that version of you doesn't exist anymore.
25:48
And then perhaps go five years, even 10 years in the future,
25:54
maybe you could imagine yourself being a father.
26:00
I want you to get a sense that there is something about this
26:05
future that really appeals, that connects.
26:12
And then imagine having all of these things that you value, a
26:17
thriving business, a wonderful relationship, a happy family.
26:23
And imagine someone offering you a line of coke.
26:26
Then when you have all of these wonderful things and the price
26:32
of that line of coke is to lose everything that you now have,
26:39
the thriving business, the happy family, the loving wife, you
26:43
feel that you would lose it all just with that one line of coke.
26:49
And notice the price is way too high.
26:57
And based on that same logic, it loses its appeal all the way
27:05
back in the moment, because that impedes your ability to seek
27:13
what you truly desire. Not gratification and not
27:18
pleasure, but real joy and real happiness.
27:26
To experience the joy of true freedom, the peace of knowing
27:31
that your mind and body are yours, untainted, unharmed, and
27:38
the sense of fulfilment that comes from building a future
27:40
where you are master of your own destiny.
27:46
A destiny of happiness, stability, connection and
27:50
success. And then rewind all the way back
27:55
to the present, no longer in the spa, but in your body, in the
27:59
here and now. And with all of this awareness
28:03
of two alternative futures, give yourself permission to make a
28:10
choice. A choice to release cocaine.
28:16
The let it be a part of your past rather than your present
28:18
and future. The let it fade into your
28:23
history, into something irrelevant, unwanted,
28:29
undesirable, and unnecessary. Feel that compulsion dissolve
28:36
and replaced with a deep, unwavering aversion.
28:42
It's almost the idea of It disgusts you as you imagine
28:45
corroded skin and tissue, pain and embarrassment and shame.
28:53
And every time you think of even the idea of buying or using,
28:58
notice how the feelings of disgust and disinterest grow
29:01
stronger. Or you can choose to carry on,
29:10
to carry on on the path that you're already on.
29:14
There's no obligation to make a change.
29:17
You can tell yourself it's harmless.
29:20
Tell yourself you've got it under control.
29:23
It's no big deal that you'll change one day knowing that
29:30
these are the stories that keep you trapped.
29:34
So allow yourself to make that choice to release it or
29:39
continue. And if you choose to continue,
29:44
notice that thoughts of all those things you could be
29:48
missing out on or all of those problems in the future you could
29:52
be heading towards seem to get louder, more vivid, more
29:57
disgusting than if you make that choice.
30:02
Every time you make a choice to no longer consider, use or even
30:11
be in the places where it's a possibility, the pride, the joy
30:17
that you feel of becoming that version of you that you truly
30:20
desire to be will give you wonderful feelings of pride and
30:26
satisfaction, accomplishment. And that becomes the new way of
30:30
getting your dopamine. Allow yourself to give yourself
30:37
permission to embrace the vision of your best future and to
30:43
unlock the emotions, the desires and beliefs that steer you
30:48
towards a life of health, wealth, love and happiness.
30:54
A life that is truly yours. Imagine floating up from that
30:59
spa and returning to the here, the now, the present.
31:03
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
31:06
nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
31:09
wiggle your toes and really get a sense of being in the here and
31:12
the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
31:18
Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8 open your
31:27
eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
31:31
Wide awake. Wide awake.
