  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's clinic 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 in this
• 0:41
  hypnosis session. It's all about calming bladder
• 0:46
  sensations now. This might be a desire to pee if
• 0:50
  you don't really need to. Pee or a?
• 0:52
  Feeling of discomfort but if you have any of these recurring
• 0:57
  thoughts and sensations, they can be quite intrusive and
• 1:03
  sometimes they don't go away It's almost like if you have an
• 1:06
  itch and no matter how many itch how many times you scratch it,
• 1:09
  the. Itch is still.
• 1:10
  There, just imagine that in your bladder.
• 1:12
  That would take a lot of your thinking time and be quite
• 1:15
  frustrating, quite annoying. And the client I was working
• 1:18
  with had that and they had it all checked out.
• 1:20
  They'd seen urologist, they'd had lots of tests.
• 1:23
  There was nothing actually wrong with their bladder, but their
• 1:26
  mind would keep taking them to that place.
• 1:29
  And therefore this hypnosis session deals with two key
• 1:33
  things. One, easing the sensations in
• 1:36
  the bladder, almost treating it like a fire alarm that is now
• 1:41
  going off when there is no actual fire.
• 1:43
  It's just a false alarm. And then secondly, dealing with
• 1:47
  the root cause of health anxieties, because sometimes
• 1:52
  people get themselves in loops where they think, what if
• 1:54
  something's wrong? What if I'm sick?
• 1:56
  What if I need to go to the toilet?
• 1:58
  And it just kind of plays like this.
• 1:59
  Kind of loop. So it's designed to help with
• 2:02
  those things. Now, if you do have a bladder
• 2:05
  sensation, this session is going to be more useful.
• 2:08
  But if you have any health anxieties, the structural root
• 2:12
  cause, the metaphors in this still may be useful.
• 2:16
  And if you like the idea of a bespoke session for you and your
• 2:19
  individual circumstances, there will be a link in the
• 2:22
  description or on my website, adamcox.co.uk, where you can
• 2:26
  book a completely free consultation call.
• 2:28
  We'll have a chat over Zoom and who knows, we might start
• 2:31
  working together directly rather than just listening to my
• 2:34
  recordings. For now, though, find a quiet,
• 2:37
  comfortable place where you won't be.
• 2:38
  Distracted or disturbed? Relax and enjoy the session.
• 3:09
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 3:19
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 3:24
  And as you exhale, give permission to release any
• 3:34
  thoughts, any worries, echoes of tension.
• 3:41
  Just allow it to release and feel it release in that outward
• 3:46
  breath, breathing in a feeling of relaxation and releasing any
• 3:56
  tension. Just allow the outward breath to
• 4:02
  carry on for longer than it normally would until your lungs
• 4:08
  are completely empty. Then as you breathe in, feel
• 4:15
  like you're breathing in from your belly, not your chest.
• 4:23
  That's it. Feel like you're breathing in
• 4:28
  fully and the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you
• 4:35
  feel. And the more relaxed you feel
• 4:42
  the deeper you breathe. As your body relaxes, your
• 4:48
  imagination awakens. Eyelids getting heavier, jaw
• 4:56
  getting loose. Just feel a sense of tension
• 5:01
  melting away from your body. And I want you to think back to
• 5:08
  a memory perhaps seven or eight years ago on a visit to New
• 5:16
  York. And I want you to imagine
• 5:20
  observing a version of you in your memory walking around the
• 5:29
  lake in Central Park. And I don't know if you're
• 5:38
  observing yourself from the perspective of a stranger who
• 5:43
  just happened to be there, or if it feels like you're a floating
• 5:49
  TV camera following you around and just observing.
• 5:56
  I'm just wondering what you notice about that version of
• 6:01
  you. And we need to get a sense that
• 6:07
  that version of you had a different connection and
• 6:16
  observation of their bladder, That version of you.
• 6:24
  We're thinking less and focusing less, just a particular part of
• 6:33
  your body. And I wonder if you can feel a
• 6:41
  sense of connection with that version of you, a version of you
• 6:47
  that had more of that perception of normality, that there were
• 7:02
  absolutely sensations in your bladder, but they were low level
• 7:09
  sensations. If you needed to go to the
• 7:15
  toilet, you did. And if a sensation came up, it
• 7:20
  was brief before becoming background noise, you to imagine
• 7:28
  perhaps seeing you, perhaps on a bridge or a path nearby the
• 7:35
  lake. And I want you to imagine
• 7:42
  pausing time, almost like everyone in Central Park is
• 7:49
  paused except you. And just imagine floating into
• 7:58
  that version of you feel what it would feel like to have that
• 8:08
  very low, no sensation in your bladder.
• 8:15
  Instead, focus on the ripples in the water of the lake, perhaps
• 8:25
  the trees surrounding the lake, maybe the skyline of
• 8:31
  skyscrapers. They're off into the distance
• 8:40
  and just connect with that feeling.
• 8:44
  Feeling of being comfortable and relaxed in your own body.
• 8:56
  I want you to imagine while everyone else there is paused,
• 9:00
  frozen in time, you can use this time to just relax, reflect and
• 9:12
  connect. And perhaps you could imagine
• 9:21
  doing something that you get to do in this moment.
• 9:30
  Maybe you could feel like a child and climb a tree.
• 9:37
  Or perhaps you could imagine finding a small boat and just
• 9:47
  going out there in the middle of that lake.
• 9:51
  Or perhaps finding a bench and just sitting and connecting with
• 9:57
  yourself. That's it.
• 10:02
  Because in this moment, in your imagination, there's nothing you
• 10:08
  need to do and nothing. Nothing you should be doing
• 10:16
  either. Nothing needs fixing, and
• 10:23
  nothing thing needs watching. Just allow your nervous system
• 10:29
  to come down a notch and there in Central Park, find that deep
• 10:38
  natural rhythm and imagine your awareness gently widening, as if
• 10:47
  your attention no longer needs to zoom in on one area, as you
• 10:55
  start to believe that sensations are simply messages, and not all
• 11:04
  messages are urgent. And you can recall a time when
• 11:13
  there was a fire alarm with no fire, a smoke alarm with no
• 11:18
  smoke, perhaps even an alarm clock set to the wrong time as
• 11:28
  you accept an irrefutable truth that not all alarms are accurate
• 11:37
  or useful. Some alarms were installed for
• 11:44
  past conditions and simply haven't been updated yet.
• 11:52
  And you know that's true because there would have been a time
• 11:57
  where you set an alarm to wake you up, and it did on one day,
• 12:05
  but the alarm continued on a day when you didn't need waking up
• 12:10
  at that time. And what if certain sensation
• 12:18
  that you've been feeling we're a protective alarm to make sure
• 12:27
  that you get things checked out, to make sure that you're safe?
• 12:35
  What could have been useful for one moment in time then becomes
• 12:41
  annoying, frustrating, or just irrelevant at a different point
• 12:50
  in time. Take your awareness and look for
• 12:58
  a part within you, because I think somewhere inside you is a
• 13:05
  protective part, like a system designed to keep you safe.
• 13:15
  And maybe this part. Learn something important
• 13:26
  connected to someone important to you.
• 13:35
  Perhaps there was someone that because of a medical issue, it
• 13:41
  did affect their bladder, maybe an enlarged prostate.
• 13:48
  And that would makes sense that that protective part knows that
• 13:55
  those early warning signals can mean that something gets checked
• 14:01
  out that if left unresolved could lead to a bigger problem.
• 14:09
  And I want you to thank that part, because that kind of
• 14:13
  vigilance once made sense. Communicate with it directly.
• 14:21
  Tell it thank you for trying to protect me.
• 14:29
  And that part isn't broken. It's simply running an old
• 14:37
  pattern that could have been useful once, but is no longer
• 14:43
  useful now. Just like that smoke alarm that
• 14:50
  goes off when toast is burned, not when there's a fire in the
• 14:54
  house. Loud, convincing, but not
• 14:58
  dangerous. well-intentioned, but unnecessary.
• 15:09
  And if there's a protective part trying to keep you safe, there
• 15:14
  is a part also within that knows now knows that you've already
• 15:25
  checked for any problems. You now know it's not helping.
• 15:35
  In fact, it's contributing to more stress and more worries and
• 15:41
  more thinking. I want you to get a sense of
• 15:49
  that alarm you set that was useful once, but if it kept
• 15:53
  going off at that same time every day for three years, you
• 16:00
  might wonder if that alarm is ever going to turn off.
• 16:07
  There is a wise part within you that knows that you have been
• 16:10
  checked. We've ruled out serious causes
• 16:14
  of problems and that part knows that these sensations fluctuate.
• 16:22
  It's not constant, and if it can change then it means it's not
• 16:30
  permanent. That wise part knows that
• 16:37
  there's been times where it's felt unnoticeable.
• 16:44
  A zero or one on that scale of 1 to 10 and this Y is apart.
• 16:52
  And communicate directly with your alarm system directly,
• 17:01
  telling it thank you but you don't need to work this hard
• 17:07
  anymore. What if the alarm doesn't need
• 17:12
  to be switched off? Just turn down to a very low
• 17:18
  volume. Because that alarm that goes off
• 17:25
  at a level 10 is annoying. Frustrating, but if the volume
• 17:31
  was a level 1, it just becomes insignificant background noise.
• 17:44
  It's a start to imagine that sensation has a volume dial, not
• 17:53
  an on off switch, and that can feel true to you.
• 17:59
  There's been moments that it felt like a Nine or A10, and
• 18:04
  other days like A1 or A2, like a dimmer switch rather than just
• 18:11
  an on or an off switch. So whether you think about it as
• 18:17
  a volume dial or a dimmer switch, notice something that
• 18:23
  could be useful? That when you try to force the
• 18:29
  dial down, it often makes it stick or jump back to the
• 18:37
  previous setting. But what if curiosity, allowing
• 18:45
  and gentle distance turns that dial down naturally?
• 18:54
  Some people call it the law of reverse effect.
• 18:59
  The harder you try, the more elusive it becomes.
• 19:04
  But when you don't try at all, it turns down all by itself.
• 19:11
  So instead of fighting the sensation, trying to analyse it,
• 19:16
  control it, you allow it to be there, you give it permission.
• 19:26
  And as you give it permission and acceptance, what if you
• 19:32
  notice that? The volume or the dimmer switch
• 19:36
  naturally all by itself, intuitively dials down
• 19:45
  incrementally, one small notch at a time, That an 8 can go to a
• 19:53
  7A7 can go to a 6A6 can go to A5, and A5 can go to a four.
• 20:06
  A4 can go to a three or A2 or A1 until it's hardly noticeable.
• 20:15
  Just like an itch somewhere on your body that you don't notice
• 20:20
  not because you controlled it, but because you stopped
• 20:24
  wrestling with it. Allow your unconscious to learn
• 20:36
  a concept, a technique, that if it returns to anything above A6
• 20:45
  or A7, name it neutrally. It's not a problem, and you can
• 21:02
  breathe into the space around it, there around your diaphragm,
• 21:08
  not into the bladder, but around it.
• 21:13
  You acknowledge it, don't aim to control it, and then just
• 21:19
  imagine that dimmer switch or that volume switch going down by
• 21:27
  10 or 20%. Because here's the interesting
• 21:32
  thing. If you accept it, relax around
• 21:38
  it, and imagine it dialing down 10%, then if you repeat that 10
• 21:47
  times, even the strongest sensation becomes negligible.
• 21:58
  There's something reassuring about knowing that if the
• 22:01
  sensation can move from an 8 to A7, it can also move from A7 to
• 22:07
  A5, and then from A5 to a 3A2 or A1.
• 22:16
  And you already know that this is possible because your body
• 22:22
  has done it before. But when your body did it
• 22:25
  before, notice how it didn't need you to do anything at all.
• 22:35
  Your body knows how to lower that intensity all by itself.
• 22:53
  Some people have seen one of those Chinese toys.
• 23:01
  They call them a finger trap. Put your finger in and if you
• 23:08
  try and force your finger out it gets stuck.
• 23:14
  But the harder you pull to escape the tighter it grips and
• 23:23
  the moment you soften, relax the trap loosens.
• 23:30
  Or think of the monkey trap. They put nuts or food there in a
• 23:40
  glass bottle or jar. If the monkey goes in, grips the
• 23:47
  food, the fish shape means they can't escape from the bottle or
• 23:53
  the jar, and sometimes all the monkey needs to do is to let go.
• 24:02
  Then it's free. But instead it holds on.
• 24:08
  It keeps being attached to something, and that keeps it
• 24:15
  trapped. And what if your bladder
• 24:21
  sensations work the same way? What if attention and checking
• 24:28
  and analyzing? What if all of these keep you
• 24:33
  attached on acceptance? Allowing and trusting allows you
• 24:39
  to release. And whether you imagine
• 24:45
  releasing from the finger trap or letting go of what's inside
• 24:50
  the bottle to be free of it, imagine your bladder doing the
• 24:54
  same. What if your body responds best
• 25:02
  to acknowledgement and acceptance rather than fixing?
• 25:11
  Allow an idea to take root deep in your mind.
• 25:15
  Your body is not your enemy. It isn't failing you.
• 25:21
  It's not punishing you. It's learning.
• 25:29
  What if each time you respond with a curious, calm
• 25:36
  acknowledgement and acceptance instead of control?
• 25:43
  What if the system slowly but surely starts to recalibrate?
• 25:52
  The alarm learns that you are safe.
• 25:56
  The signal fades faster and the baseline returns to normal.
• 26:07
  I want you to imagine you're still there in Central Park, but
• 26:15
  you are now there in your future.
• 26:19
  More than a year in your future. A year of your body letting go
• 26:27
  of unuseful attachments, a year of what ifs evolving from
• 26:37
  negative outcomes to positive outcomes.
• 26:42
  More than a year of those dimmer switches and volume switches
• 26:49
  dialing down the intensity. I want you to imagine then
• 26:58
  you're still there in Central Park, but now in the future.
• 27:05
  And I want you to imagine a future where it feels like
• 27:10
  you've had either low level or no level sensations in your
• 27:14
  bladder for more than a year. You have regained trust, a
• 27:21
  feeling of comfort. And I want you to imagine that
• 27:29
  in the past and in the future, this is no longer an issue.
• 27:37
  You notice something has changed.
• 27:41
  The sensations either rarely appear at all, or if they
• 27:48
  appear, it's briefly, quietly, and then just moves on, like an
• 27:55
  itch you notice that fades into background.
• 28:01
  Your mind no longer needs to race, analyze, catastrophize.
• 28:09
  No checking, no vigilance, no analysing.
• 28:13
  Feel what it would feel like to trust your body again.
• 28:21
  Bladder sensations return to the background where they belong,
• 28:28
  the exception only being a very full bladder as a gentle nudge
• 28:36
  for you to take a bathroom break.
• 28:41
  And I want you to imagine that future continues into day-to-day
• 28:47
  life. Imagine returning from New York
• 28:53
  into a regular pattern routine, and that normality returns with
• 28:59
  you and you can move through your day with ease, comfort and
• 29:04
  confidence, and your body remembers how to feel normal.
• 29:21
  imagine being in a room you know well, ABS lying down in a
• 29:29
  relaxed way, wondering what if things get better and better?
• 29:40
  And as you hold that thought, it's time to return.
• 29:45
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 29:52
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers, wiggle
• 29:57
  your toes, connect and calibrate into the here and the now.
• 30:04
  As I now count from one to 10. Two will waken you starting to
• 30:10
  count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8 open your eyes.
• 30:18
  Open your eyes. 910 wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
