• 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 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. Now.
• 0:41
  I'm hoping if you are listening to this that you are a an
• 0:46
  entrepreneur, a business person. The reason being is that I think
• 0:51
  business people and entrepreneurs are going to get a
• 0:53
  lot more value from this than perhaps people that aren't in
• 0:57
  business. Now.
• 0:58
  Some of the elements would still work if you are in a career and
• 1:04
  you want to get to the next level in your career, but it
• 1:06
  would be more beneficial for people that run their own
• 1:09
  business. And that's because the client
• 1:11
  that I was working with was a very successful business leader
• 1:15
  that they had, without going to university and without having
• 1:20
  that kind of formal education, built a very successful
• 1:23
  business. It was #1 in their market.
• 1:26
  I was aware of their market because I have a business in the
• 1:30
  same kind of sector. And I know how difficult it
• 1:34
  would have been for them to have created that level of success
• 1:39
  that they had. But they felt still riddled with
• 1:42
  unworthy nurse insecurities because some of the people they
• 1:45
  were hiring were more educated than they were, and they were
• 1:50
  looking at what they'd built as somehow either luck or and they
• 1:55
  could lose it all. That classic imposter syndrome
• 1:58
  without realizing that actually their background enabled them to
• 2:03
  have that level of mental fortitude and risk taking
• 2:07
  ability and to some extent defiance.
• 2:11
  I think I can relate to a a feeling that when I was early in
• 2:17
  my career, I actually was. Fuelled by people.
• 2:21
  Doubting me, people thinking that I wouldn't be very capable
• 2:25
  or competent. It was like lighting a fire
• 2:28
  under me. And then it made me very
• 2:30
  motivated and I could recognize these qualities in this
• 2:33
  particular client and that was enough to get them to a a very
• 2:39
  successful level, but they didn't feel that it was the
• 2:44
  right qualities to get them to the next level.
• 2:46
  So this hypnosis session uses an element of a metaphor of a relay
• 2:51
  race, but actually. Who they were?
• 2:54
  They can be very grateful to get them that far, but now it's
• 2:58
  about the next phase and in order for them to be that
• 3:01
  person, they don't need all of the insecurities and anxiety
• 3:06
  that may have. Positively fueled.
• 3:08
  Them in the past, they don't need that in the future because
• 3:11
  actually they were in a very stable, secure position.
• 3:17
  They didn't want to get complacent, but they did want to
• 3:20
  grow, but have more feelings of balance and equilibrium in
• 3:26
  business, but also their family life.
• 3:29
  So I think entrepreneurs will be able to relate to that because
• 3:32
  sometimes you are firefighting, you are spinning lots of
• 3:34
  different plates at the same time, and it's a gladiatorial
• 3:39
  environment. Most entrepreneurs don't make it
• 3:42
  past a few years. So those that do are clearly
• 3:46
  very capable, competent people. Now there are certain
• 3:50
  suggestions here that relate to parenthood, that relate to
• 3:54
  certain qualities or unresourceful states that the
• 3:59
  client had that you might not be able to relate to.
• 4:01
  So just ignore any suggestions that aren't quite right, but
• 4:05
  lean into the ones that are helpful and useful.
• 4:07
  Because mainly it's about thinking of what version of you
• 4:11
  do you now need to be to take your business and your.
• 4:14
  Life. To the next level.
• 4:16
  So if that appeals then you're going to get some value from
• 4:18
  this session. And if you do like the idea of
• 4:21
  working with me directly, there will be a link in the
• 4:23
  description where you can book a completely free consultation
• 4:26
  call. We'll have a chat and who knows,
• 4:28
  I might end up being your hypnotherapist.
• 4:30
  For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:33
  won't be. Disturbed.
• 4:34
  Relax. And enjoy the session.
• 4:50
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in.
• 4:59
  Then slowly relaxing breath, and as you exhale just get a sense
• 5:09
  of any tension leaving your body as you exhale.
• 5:18
  Breathing in, relaxation, exhaling tension.
• 5:23
  And notice with your eyes closed how much easier it is to just
• 5:30
  focus on the sound of my voice. And when you breathe in, breathe
• 5:39
  in deeper and longer. And as you exhale, just allow
• 5:49
  that outward breath to keep on elongating, continuing to
• 5:57
  breathe out. And the more you breathe out,
• 6:03
  the more tension is being released.
• 6:07
  And the more tension is being released, the more relaxed you
• 6:10
  can take, the next inward breath that's in, just releasing any
• 6:20
  tension around the neck, the shoulders, around the jaw, just
• 6:26
  releasing that. Now, the deeper you breathe, the
• 6:31
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 6:36
  the deeper you breathe. And as your body relaxes, your
• 6:42
  imagination awakens. And I want you to think, think
• 6:49
  of scrolling through photos on your phone of a place in Italy,
• 6:58
  a place with a pool, a brick wall, sunshine and sun lounges.
• 7:11
  And that's you're scrolling through those photos.
• 7:18
  I want a memory to come up, maybe recently, maybe for many
• 7:25
  years ago of a time. You will buy that pool feeling
• 7:33
  deeply relaxed, in a good place as you consider this your happy
• 7:42
  place. When you find that memory, that
• 7:46
  image, imagine what it would feel like to float into the
• 7:51
  phone, into the image, and then be there, there by that pool
• 8:01
  under the Italian blue skies. And I want you to imagine what
• 8:09
  it would feel like to be on that lounger.
• 8:16
  Imagine the smell of suntan lotion, the feeling of the sun
• 8:23
  on your skin. And maybe you can see the sun
• 8:28
  shimmering off the surface of that deep blue water.
• 8:35
  And maybe there's a gentle breeze, or perhaps the slight
• 8:40
  scent of nearby flowers. But as you allow yourself to
• 8:46
  imagine being on that sun lounger by that pool, I want you
• 8:51
  to imagine how you would feel with your eyes closed there by
• 8:57
  that pool, feeling like you deserve this feeling.
• 9:05
  You've earned this feeling. And notice when you feel like
• 9:10
  that, it's easier to breathe deeper and exhale for longer.
• 9:19
  And I wonder if you could imagine thinking of if
• 9:23
  worthiness had a colour. What?
• 9:27
  Colour it would. Be and just imagine seeing a
• 9:35
  bright intense version of that colour, almost like light.
• 9:42
  And just imagine breathing in pure distilled worthiness.
• 9:50
  And as you exhale any insecurities, any feelings of
• 9:58
  not being enough, not deserving, just allow that to leave your
• 10:04
  body like a dark grey shadow, breathing in worthiness and
• 10:12
  exhaling the insecurities. And very soon I will count
• 10:17
  downwards from 5:00 to 1:00 as you imagine being on that
• 10:24
  lounger there by the pool under the sun, feeling calm, relaxed,
• 10:32
  confident and just feel even more worthy with every breath
• 10:40
  and releasing any historical insecurities.
• 10:47
  Any idea is that because you didn't do one thing, somehow it
• 10:51
  makes you less worthy, starts to leave your body and the opposite
• 10:59
  idea goes into your head. Some of the greatest
• 11:06
  entrepreneurs on the planet never went to university.
• 11:13
  They rejected that because they had things to do and businesses
• 11:18
  to build. And I want you to consider,
• 11:23
  consider that your past facilitated all of your
• 11:30
  accomplishments. It didn't hold you back.
• 11:35
  It moved you forward. So as I countdown from 5 to 1,
• 11:42
  breathe in that feeling of worthiness, of feeling
• 11:46
  deserving, and just feel like you're drifting off into a
• 11:51
  dream. Like sleep 5, all the muscles in
• 11:59
  your face start to relax. Four, that relaxation spreads.
• 12:05
  Now down deeper down into your neck and shoulders and then arms
• 12:13
  and then three, feel your lungs relaxing, your stomach relaxing.
• 12:20
  In fact all of your internal organs relax.
• 12:25
  Feel that looseness, that relaxation.
• 12:27
  And two, fully going down into the gut, because if the neck and
• 12:33
  shoulders is often where stress is kept, then the gut is
• 12:40
  sometimes where insecurities and anxieties are kept and feel them
• 12:46
  melting away and again leaving your body as that grey shadow.
• 12:55
  And then down to goes to 1 as you feel that relaxation going
• 12:59
  into your legs. And is it goes all the way down
• 13:04
  to the tips of your toes. Feel it rippling back up to the
• 13:07
  top of your head and then down to your fingertips as you feel
• 13:11
  like you're drifting off into a dreamlike sleep.
• 13:15
  There by that pool, there under the sun, feeling more and more
• 13:25
  relaxed. And as you settle into this
• 13:29
  calmness, allow yourself to reflect on the many qualities
• 13:37
  that brought you to this place. You may get flashbacks of
• 13:43
  resourcefulness, creativity, determination, perhaps even
• 13:52
  defiance, a willingness and eagerness to prove doubters
• 13:57
  wrong. And consider these qualities not
• 14:03
  just ideas, but things that have been tested, refined, and
• 14:09
  strengthened. In fact, all of your
• 14:12
  achievements, whether in your business or in your family,
• 14:18
  whether large or small, become like markers along the path of
• 14:26
  your life. And each of them, without
• 14:32
  question, is irrefutable evidence that.
• 14:38
  You are capable. That you are resilient, that you
• 14:45
  have that mental fortitude, that psychological strength.
• 14:54
  Allow memories of these milestones, these markers, to
• 14:59
  float in and out of your imagination.
• 15:04
  And as they do, take a moment to feel gratitude now for
• 15:14
  everything from your past that led to the things that you now
• 15:20
  value. For the courage, the
• 15:25
  persistence, in fact all of the qualities that built your
• 15:32
  foundation. And you can acknowledge them
• 15:37
  fully while also knowing they are not the end, but the
• 15:45
  beginning. And as you feel that gratitude
• 15:53
  expanded, amplify it. Notice where it feels in your
• 15:57
  body, maybe your chest, maybe your head.
• 16:06
  And you may notice that at times, dissatisfaction has
• 16:13
  driven you forward. That feeling that things aren't
• 16:18
  quite right has acted like fuel, a spark that created motion.
• 16:28
  But I wonder if you could consider a new idea, perhaps
• 16:32
  even a truth. What if dissatisfaction isn't
• 16:38
  the only way? What if gratitude and growth can
• 16:45
  become an even more powerful motivator?
• 16:52
  The sense of pride in what you've built can energize you.
• 16:58
  The knowledge of what you've already overcome can strengthen
• 17:04
  you. And from that Bank of
• 17:08
  accomplishments, you can build even more, bigger, further, with
• 17:19
  calmness, confidence and appreciation as you continue in
• 17:29
  this dream like sleep. I want you to imagine an Olympic
• 17:35
  Stadium with a large athletics track.
• 17:43
  And I wonder if you could imagine yourself there on that
• 17:48
  track, you're feeling like you've just completed perhaps
• 17:55
  400 meters of a relay race, your heart beating, breath steady,
• 18:05
  and in your hand is the baton. And I want you to think that
• 18:13
  this relay race isn't 400 meters, but many years and who
• 18:22
  you needed to be to start this race and to get as far as you've
• 18:30
  got to become a leader, a pioneer, a disruptor.
• 18:40
  All of those qualities were useful and helpful to get this
• 18:47
  far, but I want you to imagine seeing someone that looks like
• 18:54
  you but evolved just in front. And this version of you is the
• 19:05
  version of you to pass the baton to.
• 19:12
  But first, let's be grateful for being the version of you you
• 19:17
  needed to get this far. To overcome challenges, to take
• 19:24
  risks, to survive setbacks, to fight, to push, to persist.
• 19:36
  And you feel huge gratitude for them because without them, you
• 19:42
  wouldn't be here. They did their job.
• 19:48
  They carried the baton this far. But as you look forward, I want
• 19:56
  you to look at that future version of you.
• 20:02
  There is something different about your facial expression,
• 20:07
  your posture, perhaps even the clothes that you're wearing and
• 20:12
  your mannerisms. As you assess that that future
• 20:17
  version of you is somehow not burdened by insecurities, not
• 20:24
  weighed down by anxieties, somehow lighter, calmer, wiser.
• 20:35
  And as you imagine passing the baton to them, switch
• 20:41
  perspectives and feel how it would feel to receive the baton
• 20:47
  as you look back. That was the old version of you.
• 20:54
  And I want you to feel that this version of you moves with ease,
• 21:01
  with confidence, with gratitude. People that accomplish a lot
• 21:12
  often say that they are standing on the shoulders of giants, and
• 21:19
  I want you to feel that this next evolution of you is
• 21:25
  standing on the giant of your past.
• 21:30
  You can take it from here only because they've got you this
• 21:35
  far, because this new version of you builds on what you've done.
• 21:44
  But what if this version doesn't need the same frustrations?
• 21:51
  What if this version of you is inspired by balance, growth,
• 21:58
  enthusiasm, and strategy? The time of being anxious to
• 22:09
  keep you alert, of being defiant to keep you motivated.
• 22:17
  Consider that the old version of you and this new version of you
• 22:26
  can feel more at ease, more aligned.
• 22:36
  And I want you to imagine as you run with that baton feel that
• 22:41
  you can run faster because you're no longer attached to the
• 22:46
  baggage of these historical insecurities.
• 22:52
  Your past is evidence of your capabilities and now you are
• 23:00
  inspired by a vision of the future, not to prove anyone
• 23:06
  wrong, but now just to continue growing to be the version of you
• 23:16
  you were always meant to be. I want you to think of a company
• 23:24
  that you admire, perhaps a global company, and I want you
• 23:31
  to think that the leader of that business now was not who they
• 23:38
  used to be. And maybe an image comes into
• 23:44
  your mind, someone that was very different when they started, but
• 23:56
  now has a different composure, a different energy, a different
• 24:04
  vibe. And allow that to be evidence
• 24:09
  that evolution isn't just nice, it's necessary.
• 24:19
  You're meant to change as your life changes.
• 24:27
  And I want you to imagine, to allow that version of you to
• 24:31
  keep running around the track, but allow a different part to
• 24:35
  become the observer in the stadium stands.
• 24:40
  But instead of you seeing yourself running around a track,
• 24:46
  I want you to imagine a huge 3 dimensional hologram there in
• 24:50
  the middle of that stadium seeing your future.
• 24:57
  I want you to imagine yourself growing and taking your business
• 25:02
  to the next level. And I want you to see you doing
• 25:07
  that without needing the same level of stress and insecurities
• 25:13
  of your past. See yourself more fluid, more
• 25:22
  free. See yourself smiling more, even
• 25:27
  in business, excited more. But also see what you're like in
• 25:35
  your home. See yourself as an aspirational
• 25:43
  parent, see yourself connecting with your family at a deeper
• 25:50
  level, and see yourself with the ability to compartmentalize that
• 26:00
  who you are when you're working doesn't need to be the same
• 26:04
  version of you when it's all about your family.
• 26:12
  And if this future version of you seems more desirable,
• 26:18
  useful, and would add to the quality of your life, just let
• 26:22
  me know by nodding your head. And you can allow this hologram
• 26:35
  to evolve and change, because you're the observer, you're the
• 26:42
  director. If it isn't quite right, imagine
• 26:50
  rewinding it, refining it as you consider this.
• 26:58
  Like Goldilocks, If the future you're seeing isn't quite right,
• 27:07
  keep changing it until it feels that it gives you everything
• 27:15
  you're looking for. Motivation, connection, a
• 27:22
  feeling that you're moving in the right direction.
• 27:30
  And you can test drive this. If there's a moment you're not
• 27:34
  sure about, float from the stands into the hologram and
• 27:41
  test it out like you're trying on new clothes in a changing
• 27:46
  room. Feel what it would feel like,
• 27:52
  perhaps, to wake up with less stress, to take a risk with just
• 27:59
  as much diligence but less anxiety.
• 28:03
  And perhaps you can see that future version of you with much
• 28:12
  higher revenue, but also a much closer bond.
• 28:19
  You see yourself as the kind of person you want to be and
• 28:30
  consider this planting seeds of ideas deep in your subconscious
• 28:33
  mind that are already taking root.
• 28:39
  And over the next few hours, days, and perhaps even weeks,
• 28:44
  don't be surprised if new ideas, new boundaries, or new ways of
• 28:52
  doing things intuitively come to mind.
• 28:58
  Because evolution is not immediate.
• 29:03
  It's a slow transition from one version of you to the next, a
• 29:10
  metamorphosis. The Caterpillar doesn't become
• 29:17
  the butterfly instantly, and I want you to feel that you are in
• 29:24
  this metamorphosis, which may take days or weeks.
• 29:33
  But part of this process is becoming discerning and noticing
• 29:41
  which parts of you you want to leave behind and which parts you
• 29:47
  want to embrace on the next leg of this relay race, knowing that
• 29:56
  at some point in the future, perhaps years from now, it may
• 30:03
  be useful to evolve yet again. But for now, you've planted the
• 30:12
  seeds of this new transformation.
• 30:18
  That's it. And imagine floating back from
• 30:22
  that Olympic Stadium to a sun lounger by a pool and feel like
• 30:34
  you're back in that version of you.
• 30:36
  Feeling good, feeling rested, rejuvenated and recharged.
• 30:44
  But also realizing this is just a thought within a thought, an
• 30:49
  idea within an idea, and a dream within a dream.
• 30:54
  And it's now time to return to your present.
• 30:56
  But what will awaken is a version of you more closely
• 31:04
  aligned to your future than your past.
• 31:08
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 31:13
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 31:16
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 31:19
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 31:25
  you. Starting to count 123 Waking up
• 31:32
  456 More alert 7-8 Open your eyes 910 Wide awake, Wide awake.
• 31:42
  Wide awake. Thank you so much for joining me
