• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:48
  that was created specifically to deal with emotional eating.
• 0:53
  And I was working with a client that they believed.
• 0:57
  That 70%. Of the food that they were
• 1:00
  consuming wasn't because they were hungry and it wasn't for
• 1:04
  nutrition and it wasn't for enjoying mealtimes.
• 1:09
  It was purely emotional eating. So feeling these.
• 1:13
  Cravings this desire to. Snack or to deal with things
• 1:16
  like. Stress or anxiety?
• 1:18
  Or feeling overwhelmed or just uncomfortable.
• 1:22
  And comfort is one of these things that I think people
• 1:25
  underestimate. A lot of people get the idea
• 1:27
  that if you're anxious, you might eat, but actually a lot of
• 1:30
  people are just uncomfortable. And there's many things that can
• 1:34
  make people uncomfortable. And sometimes it's just time by
• 1:38
  themselves can feel uncomfortable, or it might feel
• 1:42
  like you're in a situation where you don't know the people or you
• 1:46
  don't know the place. And then a lot of people feel
• 1:48
  like if they're eating something, they can mitigate and
• 1:52
  deal with that emotion. Easier and.
• 1:55
  That was certainly the case for the client that I was working
• 1:58
  with in the session you're just about to listen to and what they
• 2:02
  felt is that eating certain foods.
• 2:06
  Made them feel. Safe.
• 2:07
  It didn't actually make them safe, it just made them feel
• 2:10
  safe. And they used the phrase certain
• 2:13
  foods feel like home. Certain foods feel safe, certain
• 2:17
  foods. Feel like like a.
• 2:21
  Friend and. And because of that, of course.
• 2:25
  Their unconscious is going to go to what not what is safe, but
• 2:28
  what feels safe. And the irony here is that a lot
• 2:33
  of. Processed food.
• 2:36
  Is actually filled with the kind of things that if you eat it.
• 2:40
  Enough. For a long period of time
• 2:42
  increase the probability of horrible illnesses that could
• 2:46
  actually lead to death. So the irony is there are
• 2:50
  certain people that have spent. Their lives eating.
• 2:53
  Certain foods because it made them feel safe.
• 2:55
  That actually LED to an early death and and that.
• 2:59
  I think is. A horrible habit which is
• 3:03
  preventable. And this hypnosis?
• 3:05
  Session is designed to do what's called a reframe, and that is to
• 3:10
  give a new meaning to a previous belief or evaluation.
• 3:17
  So there's a bit going on in this session.
• 3:19
  I think if you are someone that does emotionally eat and we're
• 3:24
  not talking about because look, food is pleasurable.
• 3:27
  I'm not saying mindful pleasurable eating where you're
• 3:31
  enjoying a meal with friends or family.
• 3:33
  I'm talking about that mindless snacking that is just designed
• 3:37
  to deal with a horrible feeling. That's the emotional eating that
• 3:41
  we're talking about. So if you can resonate and.
• 3:44
  Relate to that. Kind of emotional eating, then
• 3:46
  you will get some value. From this session.
• 3:49
  Just to remind you of course, that this was created for an
• 3:53
  individual. Some of these suggestions and
• 3:55
  references. Won't quite.
• 3:57
  Relate to you because it was created for someone else.
• 4:00
  But if you do like the idea of working with me directly, check
• 4:05
  out the link in the description to book a free consultation.
• 4:08
  Call to explore working with me directly so that I can be your
• 4:12
  hypnotherapist. For now though, find a quiet,
• 4:16
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 4:18
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take.
• 5:00
  A deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in that
• 5:09
  resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 5:15
  And as you exhale, feel a wonderful sense of letting go.
• 5:29
  As you breathe in a feeling of calm, relaxation, and safety.
• 5:37
  Also feel that you can exhale any tension, any worries, and
• 5:48
  any stress. Just allow it to leave your body
• 5:56
  in that outward breath. And the deeper you breathe, the
• 6:07
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 6:15
  the deeper you breathe. Dance in I don't want you to use
• 6:26
  the power of your imagination to imagine a place that feels like
• 6:37
  home. And maybe that's a building, a
• 6:46
  town, and I want you to think of that place that feels like home
• 6:56
  and imagine being in that place and notice.
• 7:05
  Notice what makes it feel like home as you start to feel a
• 7:15
  wonderful sensation of familiarity.
• 7:23
  The reason it feels like home is because you know it.
• 7:31
  You've been there before and you felt calm and relaxed in this
• 7:38
  place, and I want you to imagine a familiar, comfortable chair in
• 7:50
  this place that feels like home. I want you to imagine sitting in
• 8:02
  that soft, comfortable chair and just imagine it's twice as
• 8:10
  relaxed as it's ever been before.
• 8:14
  You can almost sink into this comfortable, familiar chair,
• 8:25
  taking the weight off your arms and legs and just sinking into
• 8:29
  this chair and in this place you feel safe and comfortable and
• 8:38
  relaxed. And it's a wonderful feeling.
• 8:42
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed and safe you feel.
• 9:02
  This is a place that you know somewhere safe, and it dawns on
• 9:09
  you. This is just as true for your
• 9:14
  physical body as it is for a chair, a house, or even a city.
• 9:27
  Could you couldn't be more familiar with your own body if
• 9:31
  you tried? I want you to have a growing
• 9:37
  sense that your physical body is your home, and I want you to get
• 9:49
  a sense then. If your physical body is your
• 9:55
  home, doesn't it make sense to have the kind of home that is in
• 10:05
  the best condition, the kind of home that you're proud of, the
• 10:13
  kind of home that you maintain? Because some people treat their
• 10:21
  home like it's undesirable. They make it messy and full of
• 10:33
  clutter. Maybe it has a smell, but other
• 10:41
  people make their physical home a source of pride.
• 10:50
  Things are organised, things are clean and if anyone was to visit
• 10:57
  their home they would get a sense of pride from other people
• 11:04
  seeing how well they keep their home.
• 11:12
  I want you to get a sands done. The thing that is most familiar
• 11:20
  to you is yourself, and the more.
• 11:27
  That you. See yourself as something of
• 11:31
  certainty, predictability, and safety.
• 11:38
  The less you need other things to do that for you.
• 11:50
  I want you to start thinking about processed food as a false
• 12:01
  promise. Some things are like that.
• 12:11
  They're sold on the basis that they will do something, but they
• 12:16
  never do that thing. And I want you to think of a
• 12:23
  time when you bought something because it was meant to do
• 12:29
  something useful, only it didn't.
• 12:38
  And maybe you were frustrated and maybe you were annoyed.
• 12:44
  But I want you to notice that with that thing that didn't do
• 12:46
  what it was meant to do, you stopped using it.
• 12:51
  Maybe after only one or two times of using it, that you
• 13:01
  learn it's not doing what it's meant to be doing.
• 13:11
  And some people use food in that way.
• 13:16
  Some people use food because they feel like it can cheer them
• 13:22
  up. And some people use food because
• 13:27
  they feel stressed and they want that stress to go away.
• 13:36
  And some people use food because they feel a sense of uncertainty
• 13:42
  or discomfort because food is predictable.
• 13:49
  They know how it will taste and smell like and look like and
• 13:53
  feel. It feels like.
• 13:56
  It can help with discomfort and uncertainty, but what if it
• 14:06
  doesn't actually do that? I want you to try as hard as you
• 14:12
  can to think of a time when you felt uncomfortable and a bar of
• 14:21
  chocolate or a slice of bread actually solved the problem that
• 14:29
  was causing the discomfort. I want you to think that food
• 14:39
  does not fix the problems. Food temporarily makes you feel
• 14:48
  like you don't have to worry about those problems.
• 14:53
  The problem is, is that it doesn't last very long,
• 14:58
  sometimes minutes. I want you to think that if you
• 15:05
  bought a shelf on the promise that it would hold things up for
• 15:12
  you, and after two or three minutes the shelf came tumbling
• 15:18
  down, you would come to the conclusion that the shelf
• 15:23
  doesn't work. Or if you bought a new car to
• 15:30
  transport you to different places, but after 5 minutes in
• 15:36
  the car, the car broke down, you would come to the conclusion
• 15:44
  that this is the wrong car, the wrong vehicle.
• 15:46
  And I want you to try your hardest to think of even one
• 15:54
  time that processed food really did what you wanted it to do,
• 16:08
  gives the illusion that it's helping.
• 16:12
  It gives the illusion of familiarity, but it's temporary.
• 16:24
  And the more that you come to the conclusion the processed
• 16:29
  food and snacks, they may feel good for a few moments, but the
• 16:38
  feeling doesn't last. They may even feel not pleasure
• 16:50
  but just a sense of gratification.
• 16:55
  But I want you to notice how often is the case with snacks
• 16:59
  and processed foods. Before you even finish one, your
• 17:05
  body already wants the next one, which means they don't work very
• 17:13
  well. I want you to think of the
• 17:19
  people in these companies that make these processed foods.
• 17:27
  They're not thinking of your safety.
• 17:31
  They're not thinking of your real pleasure.
• 17:36
  The only thing they're thinking of is does it create a craving
• 17:45
  or an addiction? Why is it that so much of
• 17:53
  processed food contain the three white poisons?
• 18:02
  Sugar, salt and refined flour? Bread contains the refined
• 18:11
  flour, maybe some snack or crisps.
• 18:22
  Savoury food contains the salt and think of that chocolate.
• 18:31
  That cake contains the sugar. It's because these 3 white
• 18:38
  poisons are cheap and addictive. The irony is, sometimes people
• 18:52
  eat these foods when they don't feel safe.
• 18:58
  And yet more people die because of a diet of processed foods
• 19:05
  high in salt and sugar and flour than they do from sharks or guns
• 19:22
  or even war. And there is a part of your mind
• 19:28
  that could come to the conclusion that these processed
• 19:33
  foods are more dangerous than war because they kill more
• 19:40
  people every year. Think of how many people die of
• 19:47
  heart attacks and strokes and type 2 diabetes or health
• 19:54
  conditions linked to obesity. Millions every year.
• 20:04
  So if there's a part of you that's been using food to make
• 20:10
  you feel safe. Allow yourself to lean into the
• 20:16
  irony of that to free you as you start to think of those things
• 20:24
  that would make you feel much safer.
• 20:33
  Being with or talking to someone you know would make you feel
• 20:39
  safe and help you be safe. Eating good food, nutritious
• 20:49
  food on a regular basis reduces the probability of thousands of
• 20:58
  diseases. So eating nutritious food can
• 21:04
  make you feel safer. If regular exercise was a pill,
• 21:15
  it would be one of the most powerful and miraculous pills
• 21:22
  available from a pharmacy. Think of 20 minutes of exercise
• 21:29
  distilled into a tablet. This would reduce thousands of
• 21:37
  illnesses, reverse many more, increase the length of time that
• 21:44
  someone will live, and amplify the quality of their life.
• 21:48
  And what if you enjoyed exercise and walking or jogging so much
• 21:58
  that that felt like home, that felt familiar and it felt safe
• 22:07
  because it truly was safe? What could be safer than
• 22:15
  reducing the probability of you getting sick and increasing?
• 22:22
  The. Quality and length of your life.
• 22:30
  If your unconscious mind is willing to consider swapping,
• 22:40
  swapping vehicles to enable you to actually get to that
• 22:46
  destination that you desire, then think of that destination
• 22:51
  now. Think of yourself one year from
• 22:57
  now where you've reduced the amount of processed foods and
• 23:05
  snacks and emotional eating for things that actually make you
• 23:11
  feel healthier and safer, but also proud and accomplished.
• 23:20
  What would a year of that look like to you?
• 23:23
  And let's drift off to that future and see that version of
• 23:28
  you and you can come to the conclusion, are you more
• 23:35
  comfortable and safer in that future than if you were to
• 23:39
  continue, continue to use these processed foods to give you the
• 23:47
  illusion of safety, but not the reality of safety.
• 23:59
  And when your unconscious mind has created a new belief, a new
• 24:07
  idea as to what you can do when you feel uncertain or
• 24:14
  uncomfortable, stressed or overwhelmed, when you know what
• 24:19
  that looks like, let me know by nodding your head.
• 24:28
  I want you to get a sense then. Some people believe that when
• 24:34
  you know better, you do better. When you believe better, you
• 24:43
  think and feel differently. Many people are sold on a lie.
• 24:53
  In the 1950s, a whole generation was told that smoking was good
• 25:00
  for them and they believed it and they did it until it wasn't.
• 25:10
  And some people had certain snacks and food when they were a
• 25:15
  child, and it made them feel better for a few moments that
• 25:21
  they thought they needed it when they never did.
• 25:30
  And sometimes the very opposite of what we think is true is
• 25:37
  actually true. So just imagine pulling out that
• 25:43
  old belief that somehow food is helping you.
• 25:50
  Not all food that processed food, the food high in salt and
• 25:55
  sugar and flour. I want you to feel that that
• 25:59
  food, now that food is holding you back, that food is putting
• 26:08
  you at more risk to take out the belief that it's been helping
• 26:16
  and now plant the belief that that kind of food is hindering,
• 26:22
  it's impeding the quality of your life.
• 26:26
  And what will actually help? Unnatural, healthy, nutritious
• 26:34
  foods powered by sunshine and rainwater.
• 26:40
  These foods are also familiar. These foods also feel like home.
• 26:48
  But these foods actually make you safe.
• 26:59
  Over the next few days and weeks you will have a craving to give
• 27:05
  your body what it truly needs, nutrition and activity, and you
• 27:14
  will decide. You will.
• 27:17
  Refuse to feed the cockroaches of cravings and compulsions.
• 27:27
  When your mind is telling you to eat a snack, you will feed it a
• 27:32
  vegetable or a piece of fruit and thereby training your mind
• 27:40
  and your body to drift to a future of health, vitality,
• 27:48
  confidence and a wonderful feeling of pride because of what
• 27:56
  you've accomplished. So imagine leaving that
• 28:03
  comfortable chair in that place that feels like home.
• 28:08
  But before you leave, I want you to see a mirror.
• 28:12
  See yourself a few years from now of changing what you believe
• 28:22
  you need to make you feel safe. And if you like that future, let
• 28:27
  me know by nodding your head. That's it.
• 28:35
  I want you to see two dials next to the mirror.
• 28:39
  One for cravings and turn it all the way down, and the other for
• 28:47
  discernment. Your ability to choose those
• 28:54
  things that actually help you. Cravings all the way down and
• 29:00
  discernment all the way up. You will take pride in being
• 29:05
  able to make wonderful choices. You've seen your future cravings
• 29:14
  have been lowered, discernment has been increased.
• 29:18
  So it's time to return to the present, the here and the now.
• 29:24
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 29:31
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 29:34
  wiggle your toes. Start to connect and calibrate
• 29:37
  into the here and the now. That's it.
• 29:40
  As I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 29:45
  You will awaken feeling a new sense of clarity, of strength
• 29:52
  and discernment, eager to build momentum towards this future
• 29:59
  you've had a glimpse of starting to count. 123 Waking up. 456
• 30:08
  more alert. 7-8 Open your eyes, Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake,
