  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 now.
• 0:41
  This is a hypnosis session that uses a protocol and modality
• 0:46
  that is normally done person to person, and it's designed to
• 0:52
  release the somatic feeling of emotion.
• 0:56
  And I was working with a client that had a severe feeling of
• 1:01
  anxiety when it came to driving. But what's interesting is that
• 1:06
  when they would attempt to drive, they had a feeling of
• 1:09
  some stroke, this kind of feeling of dizziness, of
• 1:12
  heaviness, of fatigue, real physical sensations.
• 1:17
  And they also felt sick. They felt unwell.
• 1:21
  Now these were feelings locked inside the body.
• 1:23
  So this uses a protocol called Kinetic shift.
• 1:28
  Kinetic Shift was created by Karl Smith.
• 1:32
  Karl Smith is AUK based trainer. I've.
• 1:36
  Seen Karl many times at various hypnotherapy conferences and
• 1:40
  normally he will actually do this physically.
• 1:43
  He'll get them to kind of point to where they feel the sensation
• 1:46
  in their body. This client was over Zoom so it
• 1:50
  uses a metaphor. 2 metaphors in fact, about releasing pressure
• 1:56
  and releasing tension, but also submodalities with this idea of
• 2:01
  it leaves the body and then an element of future pacing so they
• 2:06
  can imagine what they are then capable of doing once they've.
• 2:09
  Released this. Now the essence of kinetic shift
• 2:12
  is to release an internal somatic feeling within the body
• 2:17
  and to dissipate that. So it's going to be more useful
• 2:20
  if you can feel anxiety or if you can feel stress or if you
• 2:25
  can feel overwhelmed. And it works really well in
• 2:28
  those kind of contexts. And if you like the idea of
• 2:32
  learning more about it, just Google kind of kind of shift and
• 2:35
  you're going to learn find lots more information about this
• 2:37
  protocol. For now, though, you might get
• 2:40
  some value from this session, but be aware of two things.
• 2:43
  One, the issue related to the client was driving anxiety and
• 2:47
  their physical sensations may not be your physical sensations.
• 2:51
  So you might get some inspiration from this.
• 2:54
  But if you like the idea of a bespoke session, just.
• 2:58
  For you just. To release any of these
• 3:00
  intrinsic emotions or sensations and let them go, there will be a
• 3:04
  link in the show notes where you can find out more information
• 3:07
  about working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:11
  comfortable place where you won't be distracted or
• 3:13
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:34
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 3:42
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 3:47
  And as you exhale, just allow your eyes to close.
• 3:53
  That's right, and with your eyes closed, you can focus more on
• 4:00
  the sound of my voice and the rhythm of your breathing.
• 4:08
  And just imagine breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 4:17
  Each breath allows you to drift deeper and deeper.
• 4:25
  Relaxed. And as you breathe in and
• 4:31
  breathe out, scan your body for any clues of pressure, tension,
• 4:39
  stress, overwhelm, and give permission to allow that to be
• 4:48
  released when it's ready. And I want you to imagine,
• 4:59
  imagine they're on a beach, a large bucket.
• 5:04
  And just imagine that large bucket is empty.
• 5:12
  And if you were collecting shells, it's got plenty of space
• 5:19
  for one more shell. You could have 100 more shells
• 5:25
  and there would still be enough space.
• 5:31
  But what if that bucket was never emptied and it accumulated
• 5:40
  with more stones and more shells, and then more, and then
• 5:45
  more? And I want you to imagine that
• 5:48
  bucket filled to the top. So much so that even just one
• 5:57
  more shell would just fall off the bucket back to the shore.
• 6:07
  And I want you to get a sand then.
• 6:12
  The bucket is the capacity to handle life.
• 6:20
  If the bucket is full, even 1 shell can be overwhelming.
• 6:29
  But what if the bucket was emptied suddenly?
• 6:35
  What was challenging in one moment would be more than
• 6:41
  capable in another. And I want you to get a sense
• 6:47
  that you've gone through a lot over these last few years, that
• 6:56
  your capacity has been huge. And the evidence of that is what
• 7:03
  you've achieved in life. Your capacity was a very large
• 7:09
  bucket, but sometimes the bucket fills up a health scare, a
• 7:21
  limitation, a challenge, and sometimes these things feed on
• 7:29
  each other. Worrying about one thing
• 7:37
  colliding with the limitation somewhere else can mean that
• 7:42
  that bucket that was more than spacious enough to handle life
• 7:49
  starts to get close to the brim. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 7:58
  they're on that same beach, a big hydraulic steam engine.
• 8:09
  Think of it as a giant pressure cooker there on the beach.
• 8:15
  And I want you to see a dial, the kind of dial that has one of
• 8:21
  those needles that kind of moves up and down.
• 8:30
  And I want you to see that it has a gauge, a Green Zone, an
• 8:36
  amber zone, and a red zone. And for most of your life, that
• 8:45
  needle was stable there in the Green Zone.
• 8:52
  But life is never easy. It has some surprises,
• 9:04
  challenges, difficulties, adversity.
• 9:13
  And you know that because something that was easy and
• 9:17
  straightforward in your 20s and 30s seemed to be more
• 9:24
  challenging in more recent years.
• 9:30
  Not because you forgot how to do something, but because the
• 9:39
  pressure cooker was building up the pressure.
• 9:44
  And sometimes a thought about what you can or can't do, a
• 9:52
  worry of an emotional state in the worst possible place, can
• 9:58
  pile in the pressure to something already growing in
• 10:02
  pressure. And I want you to see that for
• 10:08
  valid reasons, nothing irrational, that pressure cooker
• 10:16
  has been building and building until you see it hovering there
• 10:21
  in the red zone, not every day. Sometimes it's amber, sometimes
• 10:26
  it's green, but it can get to that red zone.
• 10:29
  And when it does, you feel it. You feel it in your head, the
• 10:36
  back of your neck. You feel drained and woozy.
• 10:42
  And as you look at this bucket filled with stones and shells,
• 10:48
  full to the brim, and you see this pressure cooker there in
• 10:53
  the red zone, I want you to stare at these.
• 11:00
  And I want you to try and locate that feeling, a feeling of
• 11:05
  overwhelm, of pressure, of stress.
• 11:13
  Feel it in your body, maybe in your head, back of your neck,
• 11:21
  feel it in your body. And what we're going to do is
• 11:26
  we're going to release not your capabilities or your capacity,
• 11:35
  but release the excess pressure. But for now, let's amplify it.
• 11:45
  Sometimes. Sometimes it's good to amplify
• 11:54
  so that it can be released. That's it.
• 12:05
  Stare at the bucket, stare the dial shaking like a seismograph
• 12:17
  there in an earthquake, and just get the sense that you are about
• 12:28
  to release. That's in locate the feeling of
• 12:41
  this pressure, stress and overwhelm.
• 12:50
  Just turn your attention inward and I want you to get the
• 12:56
  feeling of how you would feel if you were driving on a motorway
• 13:04
  or perhaps feeling exhausted after driving more than you
• 13:10
  normally would. Just allow the feeling to be
• 13:15
  present as an awareness. It's there and where do you
• 13:22
  notice it in your body. You don't need to overthink it.
• 13:28
  Just let your attention land somewhere.
• 13:31
  The head, perhaps the chest, the gut, wherever it makes itself
• 13:37
  known. And if that feeling, that
• 13:45
  feeling of being close to the limit had a shape to it, a
• 13:50
  colour, a texture, a temperature, what would it be?
• 13:58
  And don't worry about getting it right, just whatever comes.
• 14:10
  And as you feel those emotions within, you see the dial
• 14:15
  cranking up to the red zone. That dial is measuring how much
• 14:22
  of your system's capacity and energy is currently being used
• 14:29
  to hold this feeling, to hold the guard up, to keep watch.
• 14:34
  And. Maybe it feels sometimes like
• 14:41
  you're using most of your power to thinking, mitigating,
• 14:49
  avoiding. What if that adds more shells
• 14:56
  and stones to the bucket and more pressure to the gauge?
• 15:01
  Almost like there's very little for anything else, for choice,
• 15:08
  for the parts of you that know how to handle things.
• 15:13
  For the you that used to drive comfortably on a motorway
• 15:18
  without a second thought. But here's the interesting
• 15:26
  thing. The bucket doesn't have to
• 15:30
  remain full, and the needle doesn't have to stay there in
• 15:36
  the red zone. What if this is there for a
• 15:41
  reason, a very good reason, but the reason belongs to a
• 15:49
  different time? And what if today we allow the
• 15:56
  dial to find a more useful setting?
• 16:04
  I want you to imagine what it would feel like to empty the
• 16:09
  stones and shells from the bucket, or to allow the pressure
• 16:18
  in the pressure cooker to be released.
• 16:23
  Maybe it comes with the sound of a hissing sound of that pressure
• 16:28
  being released, or the sound of the shells and stones being
• 16:34
  emptied from the bucket there onto the shore.
• 16:40
  And as the bucket increases its capacity and the dial moves from
• 16:47
  red to amber to green, I want you to notice what happens in
• 16:54
  your body. A feeling perhaps changes.
• 17:02
  A color, a brightness, a temperature starts to reduce.
• 17:17
  In fact, the harder you try to get that feeling back, the more
• 17:24
  you are actively releasing it. Think about that.
• 17:29
  Just imagine a release valve where your head meets the top of
• 17:36
  your spine. Imagine it right there and just
• 17:41
  feel the sensation of a balloon being deflated.
• 17:48
  All of that pressure being released, almost like a weight
• 17:55
  is being lifted off your shoulders, that if that camel
• 18:03
  carrying all of that straw had the straw being taken from its
• 18:06
  back, the camel doesn't want the back to be broken.
• 18:15
  It got strong carrying all of that straw.
• 18:19
  But imagine the straw being taken off the camel, the
• 18:25
  pressure valve being released, the bucket being emptied, and
• 18:31
  feel how you would feel if that was happening.
• 18:35
  Not as a thought or an idea, but within you that your capacity is
• 18:43
  increasing, your pressure, your weight is being released.
• 18:56
  As the needle drops, resources that were tied up begin to flow
• 19:02
  back, like pressure releasing from a system that's been
• 19:07
  overloaded. And maybe the heat begins to
• 19:11
  soften or tightening in the chest starts to ease slightly.
• 19:20
  Gut feeling more settled and with each twitch of the dial
• 19:29
  slowing and going down, you have more capacity, more space, more
• 19:41
  of you available to work with what we're going to explore
• 19:46
  next. And when the bucket arrives with
• 19:53
  lots of capacity, it doesn't need to be empty.
• 19:58
  And with that dial down to a reasonable letter, doesn't need
• 20:04
  to be 0, just showing capacity. Let me know by nodding your
• 20:09
  head. That's it.
• 20:19
  And now with that more capacity, more space, more resources
• 20:24
  inside you, let's locate a part within you.
• 20:37
  I want you to turn your attention back to the area
• 20:40
  around your head, and rather than experiencing what was there
• 20:50
  as a problem, I'd like you to approach it the way you might
• 20:56
  approach someone who is working very hard to protect someone
• 21:00
  they love. You've done that.
• 21:06
  You worked hard to protect someone you loved.
• 21:09
  Imagine there's a part within you trying to protect you.
• 21:18
  Perhaps that part knew every now and then you were getting close
• 21:21
  to your limits. And maybe that part thought
• 21:28
  driving on a motorway would be the worst place to reach those
• 21:31
  limits. And I want you to thank that
• 21:37
  part for its wonderful intentions.
• 21:45
  It's aimed to help. And if that part is willing to
• 21:51
  make itself known, let me know by nodding your head.
• 22:05
  That's it. And just thank that part.
• 22:12
  Not performative, but genuine. Like you would thank anyone that
• 22:16
  had a wonderful intention to try and protect you.
• 22:23
  Think it sincerely and ask ask that part if it was trying to
• 22:34
  help, trying to protect you. And if that was the intention,
• 22:39
  let me know by nodding your head.
• 22:51
  That's it. And maybe it was trying to do
• 22:55
  something else as well, but I want you to thank it for its
• 23:00
  intention. But I want you to share
• 23:05
  something with that part. I want you to think.
• 23:12
  Think of all of the sadness, distress or loss, this part
• 23:20
  protecting you in this way has caused things you've struggled
• 23:25
  with, things you couldn't do, waking up in the middle of the
• 23:31
  night. And I want you to project those
• 23:35
  memories, those real emotions to that part.
• 23:39
  Not to punish it, not to shame it, but to educate it.
• 23:45
  Because I think that part didn't realise that it's good intention
• 23:52
  had a consequence, A brutal consequence, making your life
• 23:58
  more difficult when it was trying to make it easier,
• 24:05
  creating more challenges when it was trying to reduce challenge.
• 24:12
  And if that part is now aware of all the consequences of
• 24:18
  protecting you in this way. Let me know about.
• 24:22
  Nodding your head. And I want you.
• 24:28
  To ask that part if I can talk to it directly.
• 24:34
  And if so. Just allow the part to.
• 24:38
  Be the dominant. Part within you.
• 24:42
  Not the part. You're talking to, but the part
• 24:45
  I'm talking to. And if it's.
• 24:50
  Willing to listen to me directly rather than through you?
• 24:54
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 25:04
  That's. It you are capable.
• 25:11
  You have a. Wonderful intention, and I don't
• 25:15
  think you knew the consequence of that.
• 25:18
  Wonderful intention. I also know how influential you
• 25:24
  are. You can create physical
• 25:28
  sensations that are powerful, that feel like an illness.
• 25:33
  That's how capable you are of protecting, deterring.
• 25:40
  And I don't think you knew the ripple effect of that, the deep
• 25:46
  sadness, the frustration, the emotional drain.
• 25:53
  And I'm wondering if you're willing to protect in a new way?
• 25:59
  Rather than. Anxiety and avoidance.
• 26:06
  I'm wondering. If you're willing to harness
• 26:09
  courage and competency. You now.
• 26:17
  Have the resources available to use that courage and competency
• 26:25
  that is evidently there. I want you.
• 26:29
  To recall the memory of a time of pure courage.
• 26:34
  And that. Courage suddenly made fear and
• 26:39
  anxiety disappear because you took action.
• 26:46
  And I'm wondering. If you're willing to harness
• 26:47
  that resource. To create a.
• 26:51
  Wonderful essence of self belief.
• 26:56
  You've been using. Doubt to deter Let's use self
• 27:01
  belief. To do what's Necessary to
• 27:08
  reawaken that confidence and competency that.
• 27:13
  Is there? And you know it's there.
• 27:17
  Because I want. You to go back to a memory.
• 27:20
  A long drive. In your 20s or 30s, conditions
• 27:24
  were challenging and yet driving was effortless.
• 27:38
  And if you're. Willing to harness those
• 27:40
  resources. Let me know.
• 27:44
  By nodding your head. You are.
• 27:53
  Influential, powerful, and I. Want.
• 27:59
  You to have more responsibility, not less harnessing resources.
• 28:08
  You don't. Need to avoid.
• 28:12
  And I want. You to imagine.
• 28:16
  A few days. From now.
• 28:20
  Doing something you. Would never have done if your
• 28:22
  resources were depleted. But now you.
• 28:25
  Have the resources I. Want you to?
• 28:28
  Feel tenacious, determined, galvanized.
• 28:37
  And if you're. Willing to.
• 28:41
  Utilize it in. That way, let me know by nodding
• 28:43
  your head. That's it.
• 29:13
  I want. You to feel it's time to return.
• 29:20
  Taking all of. That capacity and resources with
• 29:23
  you. As I count.
• 29:33
  From 5:00 to 1:00. You will float.
• 29:37
  Back feeling that you have. Release the pressure.
• 29:42
  Increase the capacity. And connected.
• 29:46
  Resources to that resourceful part that only ever wanted the
• 29:50
  best for you. Starting to count. 123. 4.
