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 Evans 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. And you're about to listen to a
0:41
hypnosis session all about post COVID fatigue.
0:45
And I was working with a client that had about two years ago,
0:48
experienced very severe fatigue. And the symptoms were getting
0:53
worse. And it was leading to things
0:54
like extreme tiredness, high levels of sensitivity,
0:58
electrosensitivity, and just feeling that they couldn't
1:02
really do what they used to do. They used to be very active,
1:05
very successful in their career. And all of those things became
1:08
very difficult to manage as a result of these very intense
1:12
feelings of fatigue. This hypnosis session is
1:15
designed to do 2 things. One is to give hope.
1:20
There are many people that have had high levels of chronic
1:23
fatigue and they get better and their symptoms alleviate and
1:27
they feel better. So one is to have that because
1:30
when there is hope there, it tends to create more resourceful
1:34
feelings and then you're more likely to look for signs of
1:37
progress and it can create a self fulfilling prophecy.
1:40
When things seem hopeless then there is and also a self
1:44
fulfilling prophecy of that where more of the symptoms tend
1:47
to get worse. So hope is a very important
1:50
thing. The second thing is to have
1:52
certain metaphors that look at the crashes and the fatigue as
1:57
recalibration rather than something negative happening to
2:01
them. Recalibration is important
2:04
because a lot of fatigue and autoimmune issues are based on
2:08
an overreaction of the body. Small things like spending time
2:13
with friends or exercise can lead to really long periods of
2:18
recovery and the body is overreacting.
2:21
It's disproportionate. So this has the key new meaning
2:25
that these periods of fatigue are actually a body trying to
2:29
recalibrate because it's got faulty signals.
2:34
So this metaphor I think is going to be useful for anyone
2:37
with autoimmune issues or fatigue or chronic fatigue or
2:41
other conditions that are like that because it has a key
2:46
suggestion of updating certain key things.
2:49
Now, this client was also considering other stuff like
2:52
ketamine infusion therapy. And that's why there's a
2:55
metaphor in the early part of this, that if their future is on
2:59
the other end of a stream, on the other side of a stream,
3:02
there are multiple ways to get to that future that they want.
3:06
The bridge, the stepping stones, other ways become ways of
3:10
saying, right, not all of the eggs are in one basket.
3:13
Sometimes people feel like they've only got 1 hope and then
3:17
it becomes devastating if that one thing doesn't work.
3:20
So it's really important to believe that there are multiple
3:22
solutions, multiple ways of improving and healing, and
3:26
you're not relying on just one things.
3:29
There's a lot going on in this session, but if you can relate
3:32
to the idea of feeling like intense fatigue, and personally,
3:36
I had a close call. I was bitten by a tick many
3:38
years ago and luckily I saw the signs of early Lyme disease and
3:45
luckily I managed to resolve that.
3:47
So we didn't turn into Lyme disease.
3:48
But when people have things like Lyme disease and and chronic
3:51
fatigue, it's so debilitating and they don't get a lot of
3:54
understanding from other people because other people just assume
3:58
that it's people are making it up and it's just tiredness and
4:02
there's a lot of frustration that can come from that.
4:04
So if you can write to these things, this hypnosis session
4:06
might be useful. Please be aware though, that it
4:09
was created for an individual with individual circumstances
4:12
and individual symptoms. Some of the suggestions might
4:15
not be quite right for you. So if you do like the idea of a
4:18
bespoke session, there will be a link in the description where
4:21
you can schedule a free consultation call to explore
4:24
working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
4:26
comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
4:29
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
4:56
breathe in, imagine breathing in a feeling of quietness and calm.
5:06
The kind of calm that can take a wave of excitement and turn it
5:13
to Stillwater kind of relaxation that can dial everything down.
5:25
Breathing in and relaxation and exhaling tension.
5:35
And I wonder if you can think that if resourcefulness had a
5:40
colour, what color it would be. Just allow any thought to enter
5:47
your mind. And as you breathe in, just
5:51
imagine breathing in a fusion of resourcefulness and relaxation
5:59
going in through your nose, allowing it to go down your
6:04
windpipe into your lungs. Just feel your mouth relaxing,
6:12
your neck relaxing, your chest relaxing.
6:17
Imagine your heart harnessing all of that resourceful
6:22
relaxation and distributing it to every cell in your body, just
6:28
as it does with oxygen. And I want you to scan your body
6:36
not just for tension, but any aches, any feelings of blocks,
6:46
any tiredness. And just imagine an army of
6:54
trillions of molecules, particles of this resourceful
6:59
relaxation finding its way to the parts of your body that
7:05
would benefit from those resources.
7:10
And I wonder if you could imagine everything calming down.
7:20
Just imagine hyper vigilance gets recalibrated to just
7:29
vigilance, that energy levels get recalibrated just to
7:41
normality. And I want you to think of a
7:46
place that when you were last in that place, you felt
7:53
resourceful, relaxed, with just the right amount of energy and
7:59
clarity. Maybe you could imagine a beach
8:06
there by the Mediterranean Sea, but imagine you've got the whole
8:12
beach to yourself. Golden soft sand, rock
8:19
formations and cliffs and natural pools with the right
8:28
balance to teem with life. Shellfish, crabs, tiny fish.
8:38
And I want you to imagine what it would feel like to be back on
8:42
that beach, feeling calibrated to what feels useful and
8:54
healthy. If you wanted to go for a swim,
9:00
you can. If you wanted to run down the
9:03
beach, you can. I want you to connect without
9:09
memory, not to reminisce, but treat it like feeding
9:19
information to the part of your brain to establish a baseline.
9:31
Because if something happened maybe two years ago, it started
9:39
giving you false readings and your body would act in a way
9:47
according with that faulty data. So as you reconnect with that
9:54
memory, I want you to imagine this is giving your body a new
10:03
baseline. This is 1.
10:09
It can feel like to have the right amount of vigilance, that
10:17
if you injured yourself, you might need to rest.
10:22
If you ran a marathon, you might need a few days to recover.
10:27
But on a beach, relaxing by the water, this is not over
10:34
stimulating or under stimulating, It's just
10:40
stimulation. And I want you to imagine
10:45
somewhere on that beach, it's the comfiest chair you can
10:51
imagine with cushions and pillows and blankets.
10:58
And I want you to imagine it's there on that beach, maybe under
11:02
sunshine, maybe in the shade of a tree, and just imagine placing
11:07
your body there. As I count downwards from 5:00
11:12
to 1:00, I want you to imagine how it would feel to just drift
11:20
off into a dreamlike sleep there on that beach, in that memory,
11:29
at that time by time when your body was calibrated just right.
11:40
That's it. Notice your breathing gets
11:45
deeper, and the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you
11:48
become, still breathing in that colour of resourceful
11:53
relaxation. That's it.
12:04
And as you settle, really settle, with your eyes closed,
12:11
just focus on the rise and fall of your breath, a quiet rhythmic
12:22
proof that you are not sick, but healing.
12:32
Each breath a wave of calm washing through your body in
12:38
renewal and out release. Some people believe that the
12:49
body has a frequency, a sound, a rhythm.
12:57
Your heartbeat has a rhythm, breathing has a rhythm, the flow
13:04
of blood through your veins has a rhythm.
13:08
And you can consider that rhythm like subtle music within your
13:13
body. And as you connect with that
13:18
sound, rhythm and feeling, I want you to get a sound that's
13:24
simply connecting with these sounds, these sensations you're
13:30
already healing. And if there's a part of you
13:38
that has been fighting this fatigue, this unfairness, I want
13:44
you to imagine what it would feel like to be fighting an
13:48
unfair opponent that plays dirty, breaks the rules, cheats,
13:58
and just imagine. But even with a good team on
14:02
your side, I can feel unfair. But what if this whole thing
14:10
isn't a fight? What if it's a negotiation, a
14:17
dance of communication? But rather than fighting this,
14:25
the goal is to listen, communicate, and find.
14:34
Find a way forward that's good for you and good for this part
14:39
that probably has a wonderful intention.
14:42
A wonderful intention that felt like an unfair fight.
14:50
But what if you could both agree that the intention is good, even
14:57
if the implementation of that intention is unfair and cruel?
15:06
But if that part doesn't know that it will continue trying to
15:11
help you even though it feels like harm.
15:20
We need to imagine drifting into a dreamlike sleep there on that
15:25
comfy chair on that beach. And in that dream, imagine
15:31
standing at the entrance of a beautiful garden, a gentle
15:37
breeze and maybe the light of sunshine going through, bouncing
15:45
off flower petals and leaves. And I wonder if you could
15:52
imagine that this garden represents your body.
16:02
I want you to imagine a time when this garden was in such a
16:08
way that everything seemed in harmony and balance.
16:14
But now as you look at the garden, the garden is still
16:18
beautiful, but certain things are out of control.
16:26
Maybe that's certain. Plants that have got too big or
16:31
grass that hasn't been tended. I want you to imagine walking
16:37
barefoot in this garden, getting a sense of the ground beneath
16:44
your feet. Solid, dependable.
16:52
It's almost like you can feel the roots of yourself reaching
16:56
downward into the calm earth and imagine it drawing in safety and
17:05
strength. And your mind, like sunlight,
17:10
warms every cell, every muscle, every nerve, reminding them how
17:22
to grow and how to remember the balance of the past.
17:32
And as you walk deeper into this garden, feel like it's a healing
17:37
garden, the sounds, the smells, the sensations, all of it
17:49
helping you to heal, recalibrate and rebalance.
17:56
And I want you to imagine there is a stream somewhere in that
18:00
garden with stepping stones. Very soon I will count downwards
18:09
from 12:50 and you will imagine taking a step on each of the
18:13
stepping stones to help cross that stream and allow the other
18:23
side of the stream to represent a new relationship with your
18:29
body. Not based on conflict, not
18:34
needing hyper vigilance, but a harmonious relationship, a
18:42
negotiation, a dance, an ally. Taking that first step, 10
18:53
Feeling the outside world fading away 9 Muscle softening 8
19:01
Another step across mind quiet like Stillwater.
19:08
Seven, thoughts slowing into clarity and six, each step a
19:16
reminder of your resilience. Five, halfway across, now
19:23
feeling lighter and freer. And four, I want you to feel
19:30
that resourceful feeling, maybe in your chest, starting to glow,
19:35
spreading from within. 3A sense of safety and growing stronger.
19:44
Two calm, balanced, centred and one just Imagine being deeply
19:52
connected to your inner wisdom. Now and then.
20:00
Zero. You're on the other side.
20:04
And I want you to see that you didn't need to cross the
20:09
stepping stones, because all along there was a wooden bridge
20:13
arching over the stream, the water flowing gently.
20:21
And you realise the stream represents a healing journey,
20:29
but also that there are many solutions to the same problem.
20:35
Stepping stones or a bridge still get you to the other side.
20:43
And I want you to think that your future is the other side,
20:50
and there's many things that may help, and it doesn't matter so
20:56
long as you get to the other side.
21:03
And as you look at that stream, I want you to see that even when
21:08
the surface looks still, the current beneath continues to
21:14
flow you or on a journey of recovery and recalibration.
21:26
And you are continuing to flow in that direction.
21:35
And now, deep within this tranquil space, your
21:40
subconscious mind begins to remember what your conscious
21:45
mind sometimes forgets. But your body knows how to heal.
21:55
You might recall the time when you bruised a knee, cut a
22:00
finger, and your body knew how to heal.
22:07
Because every cell in your body carries ancient intelligence.
22:13
Coded wisdom once helped you grow, repair, and adapt.
22:20
And I want you to feel that when that fight becomes a
22:24
negotiation, a recalibration, that all of that intelligence
22:35
within you is now helping, helping that recalibration take
22:43
place. And you might imagine your
22:47
nervous system as a network of thin golden threads carrying
22:55
signals of safety through your body like fibre optic cable.
23:03
And imagine that each deep breath strengthens the signal,
23:10
each exhale clears old static. And what if your body is
23:16
learning a new language, the language of alignment, ease and
23:24
recalibration? I want you to get a sense then
23:34
your past is evidence of your ability to learn and adapt.
23:44
I want you to feel that you are learning at a subconscious level
23:51
to balance your energy. Again, not through force, but
23:56
through flow. You don't need to push the river
24:02
or the stream, you only need to stop resisting it.
24:09
Your mind and body are learning to trust one another again.
24:20
Sometimes when it feels like there's a challenge, your mind
24:27
will say I'm handling this and your body feels reassured and
24:37
that hyper vigilance goes down. That is harmony.
24:46
That's when it's a negotiation, A partnership, a dance.
24:52
And I want you to imagine returning to that garden, that
25:04
space for certain areas where already flourishing and others
25:10
were overgrown. And the beauty of nature is that
25:17
growth never happens all at once.
25:23
Different plants grow at different times of the year when
25:28
they're meant to. Seeds grow in darkness before
25:35
they break the surface. And what if you're healing is
25:40
sometimes invisible? It feels like nothing's
25:45
happening. And then one day, without
25:48
effort, you notice a small clue of progress.
25:56
Perhaps you recover faster from anything that required exertion,
26:04
perhaps period of fatigue, and sooner.
26:10
And perhaps your mind feels clearer on a day you didn't
26:13
expect. And each time that happens,
26:20
imagine smiling to yourself and thinking progress, healing,
26:27
recalibration. Because these small, unexpected
26:32
moments are your body's way of saying I'm still with you.
26:41
I'm your ally, not your enemy. And your subconscious will begin
26:47
to notice these incremental clues.
26:53
Each one becomes proof that your body is indeed recalibrating,
27:00
that your nervous system is learning a new kind of safety.
27:10
And I want you to think that your willingness to be
27:14
tenacious, to try new things, is also evidence of your spirit.
27:23
And I want you to think about some upcoming therapy, something
27:28
new, something you've seen results in other people.
27:34
You need to get a feeling that your subconscious mind is
27:36
already preparing the ground, almost like it knows how to
27:42
receive this experience. Maybe this is the catalyst for
27:48
that recalibration, a bridge between mind and body, a chance
27:56
to reset old circuits, to refresh connections, to open
28:04
windows of possibility. And I want you to imagine what
28:10
it would feel like then. That is your hope, intention, or
28:18
even an outcome You're just open to that something will happen to
28:29
facilitate recalibration. I want you to get a sand.
28:37
Then if it's been foggy for several days, it can feel like
28:42
it will be foggy forever. And then one day the sun comes
28:47
out and it was like the fog was never there.
28:54
I want you to get a feeling. Then what if, maybe even sooner
29:00
than you think, there are clues about fear, fatigue, brain fog,
29:11
or anything else just fading away, giving you clarity and
29:20
energy once more. I want you to think of an
29:25
infusion. What if your mind travels safely
29:30
through inner landscapes, guided by that intention of
29:34
recalibration, and your body will remain protected, anchored
29:40
and calm, allowing your subconscious to gather
29:46
everything it needs from the experience.
29:50
And maybe that's wisdom, healing, or even a release
29:57
integrated easily afterwards. This could be the catalyst, your
30:05
healing bridge, your stepping stones.
30:10
Each session, each breath, each rest, helping you cross towards
30:17
that future of greater vitality and peace.
30:28
I want you to recall how frequently in the past you've
30:32
been able to adapt, learning new things in a martial art,
30:40
handling problems, and all those resources are still within you,
30:49
waiting for the right time to resurface.
30:54
Your resourcefulness is returning like a sleeping muscle
30:59
waking up, stretching and remembering its strength.
31:06
And every now and then you will discover signs that you're
31:12
handling this much better. Moments when your mind is
31:17
clearer, your emotions steadier, and your energy more
31:23
sustainable. And sometimes you'll notice it
31:29
consciously and other times it will appear subtly.
31:38
But each time you notice progress, however small, it
31:45
reinforces your belief that you are healing and recalibrating.
31:52
Your system is unlocking more internal resources, enabling you
31:58
to meet each new challenge with more confidence, certainty and
32:05
self trust. Your body is adapting, your
32:11
brain is learning, and even your heart, Your soul is connected to
32:20
that future where hope becomes reality.
32:24
And I want you to think about those crashes differently now.
32:34
Not as unfair fighting, not as failures, and not even as
32:39
setbacks. What if this is your body's
32:43
ability and desire to recalibrate, but it's
32:48
recalibrating with faulty data? You could almost admire the
32:57
positive intention, even if there's frustration from an
33:03
overreaction. When a sensor is too sensitive,
33:10
it can follow its programming, but it creates A
33:16
disproportionate response. I want you to get a feeling,
33:22
then your body, your body needs to tap into a way of calibrating
33:33
accurately. I want you to get a feeling then
33:42
your subconscious mind can start connecting the neural pathways
33:48
of your past to the needs of your present.
33:56
I want you to find yourself in those moments of fatigue during
34:01
those crashes, to look at them as recalibrations.
34:07
And the more you think of yourself in the past times when
34:14
you're in harmony and balance, you are firing off the very
34:19
neural pathways that your body needs to recalibrate.
34:27
Just like artificial intelligence needs data to
34:29
learn, your body is firing on inaccurate data and therefore
34:38
memories can retrain it. Coach it, help it to find
34:46
harmony and balance once more. And maybe start to notice that
34:54
when these recalibrations happen, your recovery will be
34:59
faster and smoother because your system is learning efficiency.
35:08
And by thinking of it as a recalibration rather than a
35:12
crash, you will feel less fear, less frustration, and more
35:18
understanding and more peace. You can acknowledge the
35:23
intention even if the outcome isn't desirable.
35:32
And with that peace, your energy stabilizes even more.
35:41
You're no longer at war with your body, you're in alliance
35:46
with it. Every part of you wants the same
35:50
thing. The future of health, happiness,
35:59
of harmony and balance. Again, I want you to imagine
36:06
finding a full length mirror in that garden, and as you look in,
36:14
I want you to see yourself perhaps a year from now.
36:23
And as you see the reflection of you in the future, you can see
36:27
clues of immense progress. Maybe you could imagine that
36:35
future version of you understood that something happening in your
36:43
present is a turning point for your future.
36:50
And maybe in that future you see yourself waking with more
36:52
clarity and steadiness. Your days have more rhythm
36:57
again, more energy, a calm confidence guiding your choices.
37:04
You move with more flexibility, options and optionality.
37:10
You get to do more of what you want to and those social
37:14
moments, your current Oasis in the desert don't need to be
37:21
restricted. They can last longer and they
37:26
don't have that energy hangover afterwards.
37:32
Your mind feels sharper, your heart feels lighter, and there
37:37
is more trust. You trust your body, and your
37:41
body trusts you. And even if you have those
37:48
quieter days or tired days, you have a sense that they won't
37:56
last long. It's just part of the process, a
38:01
rhythm, not a relapse. You have become your own healer,
38:08
your own ally, your own steady ground.
38:15
And as you look ahead, I want you to imagine seeing all the
38:22
wonderful things you get to do in your future.
38:27
Lots of possibilities. A life not defined by a
38:31
condition or illness, but illuminated by resilience,
38:37
purpose and peace. I want you to get a feeling that
38:44
this is your future. A future where the recalibration
38:51
has recalibrated. I want you to get a sense that
38:57
you are already on the journey. Everything you've done up to now
39:02
has taken you here and everything you do going forward
39:08
will enable you to get closer to that future.
39:14
I want you to get a feeling that you are returning from that
39:19
dreamlike sleep there on that comfy chair on that beach.
39:23
And I want you to get a feeling that as you leave the chair,
39:28
walk down the beach, feel that energy, lightness, that clarity,
39:34
and get a sense that your body is already recalibrating just by
39:42
awakening the neural pathways of your past.
39:46
And it's time to take this feeling back to the present.
