• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:47
  about paranoia. And I think sometimes words
• 0:51
  become labels and these labels. Get thrown around.
• 0:55
  Where they're inherently put into a category of being
• 1:00
  negative or bad in some way. And I would say that paranoia is
• 1:06
  one of those labels that if you think about what paranoia really
• 1:11
  is, is about having a suspicion, having some kind of belief that
• 1:17
  there is a possible agenda against you.
• 1:21
  And of course, paranoia is linked to, let's say, extreme
• 1:27
  paranoia. And that could be people with
• 1:30
  delusions and, you know, really almost conspiracy theorist and
• 1:36
  and really. Harsh.
• 1:38
  Perceptions of what other people want to do to them.
• 1:42
  But at its core, paranoia is to keep you safe.
• 1:46
  It's just a combination of anxiety and suspicion.
• 1:51
  But here's the thing, you know, although it's lovely to believe
• 1:56
  that we live in a world where people are good and people have
• 1:59
  your best interests at heart, that isn't always the case.
• 2:03
  And I have this belief that most people are good.
• 2:06
  Most people want to help other people and and do good things
• 2:11
  for people, but there are always a few people that have an agenda
• 2:17
  and that agenda might be to exploit or take advantage.
• 2:22
  So having a. Healthy level of.
• 2:25
  Paranoia. I actually think it's a very
• 2:27
  good thing. And the question then is how do
• 2:31
  you get the balance? Right.
• 2:33
  And for? Me I My default is to trust
• 2:37
  people but, and it's a very big part but to.
• 2:43
  Withdraw that trust. The moment someone proves they
• 2:47
  are not worthy. Of that trust.
• 2:51
  Now, I would say this is in a business or a work environment
• 2:55
  or a social environment. The default is to trust.
• 2:57
  It's different if you're dealing with an entity, you know, if
• 3:02
  you're in a tourist place known for people, you know, with
• 3:06
  scammers and con artists, then I would say the default there
• 3:11
  would be to be vigilant rather than trust, trusting people.
• 3:16
  So it's contextual, but generally I think it's a good
• 3:18
  thing to trust people but not do that blindly.
• 3:24
  You know, if you see evidence that someone is deceitful or
• 3:31
  they absolutely have done something, that would be good
• 3:34
  for them and bad for you. Then at that point.
• 3:37
  It is a healthy thing to do to be paranoid of that person, to
• 3:42
  no longer trust that person, to be suspicious of that person.
• 3:47
  And I was working with a client who generally was in a situation
• 3:53
  where they. Needed to trust.
• 3:55
  People at that point in time, for financial reasons and
• 3:59
  practical reasons, they needed to trust people and that can
• 4:03
  feel scary, that can feel vulnerable, particularly if in
• 4:06
  the past when you did trust someone that was taken advantage
• 4:10
  of is very difficult to do so. Therefore, this is a 2 pronged
• 4:14
  attack in this particular hypnosis session.
• 4:17
  To have that ability to trust people, particularly those that
• 4:21
  have demonstrated good intentions, to have that
• 4:26
  trusting default, but being very quickly to change that if
• 4:30
  needed. But also to create the
• 4:34
  foundation of a life where you don't need to be dependent on
• 4:38
  other people. And when I was in my early 20s,
• 4:43
  that was my last job. My last job was when I was 23
• 4:46
  years old. I set up my own business.
• 4:48
  And the reason I'm very passionate about wealth creation
• 4:51
  is because. I think.
• 4:54
  I'm deeply untrusting of not people, but of entities,
• 5:00
  organizations and things like that.
• 5:03
  So I don't believe, for example, that the government has my best
• 5:09
  interests at heart. I think it's politicians that
• 5:11
  have their own agendas. So therefore, if I really
• 5:15
  believe that it makes sense for me to structure my life in such
• 5:18
  a way where I'm not dependent on the government or not dependent
• 5:22
  on organizations, that I am more independent and self-sufficient.
• 5:28
  So you can call that paranoia or you can call that a feedback.
• 5:32
  Loop so that. You can structure your life in
• 5:34
  the way that you want. So this hypnosis session is
• 5:38
  entitled or titled I should say a positive Paranoia, and it's
• 5:44
  designed to extract the utility out of paranoia without thinking
• 5:51
  that everything is suspicious and everyone has an agenda.
• 5:55
  That is. Just as untrue as the opposite
• 5:58
  belief that nobody has an agenda and everyone can be trusted.
• 6:02
  The. The ideal balance is in the
• 6:04
  nuance, it's in the in the Shades of Grey.
• 6:07
  And I think a natural belief that's helpful is that most
• 6:11
  people are worthy of trusting, but some people aren't.
• 6:15
  And therefore to be discerning is to figure out the difference.
• 6:19
  And therefore that positive paranoia can almost become an
• 6:22
  intuitive superpower for for you to have the warning signs when
• 6:26
  they're most helpful. Appreciate this might.
• 6:29
  Sound a bit. Bit of a ramble but I'm one of
• 6:32
  these hypnotherapists that don't like to put things like people
• 6:36
  will put anger and anxiety and say they're negative emotions.
• 6:39
  You know? All emotions are useful in the
• 6:41
  right context. The art is to find the right
• 6:45
  emotional. Resources for.
• 6:47
  The right context to have them working for you rather than
• 6:50
  against you. This was created for an
• 6:52
  individual person. If you feel that maybe you feel
• 6:56
  a bit too anxious or a bit too paranoid, and you feel like you
• 6:58
  want to find the sweet spot for you, the middle ground that's
• 7:02
  actually useful for your life, there will be a link in the show
• 7:05
  notes where you can schedule a free consultation call to
• 7:08
  explore working with me. For now, though, find a quiet,
• 7:11
  comfortable place where you won't be.
• 7:12
  Disturbed. Relax and enjoy.
• 7:14
  The session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 8:28
  you breathe in, breathe in a feeling of calm relaxation.
• 8:36
  And as you exhale, just get a sense that you're able to let
• 8:46
  go, to let go of a thought, a feeling, an idea that may not be
• 8:55
  in your best interests. Give permission to let go of
• 9:01
  anything that is impeding the quality of your life.
• 9:10
  So breathing, relaxation and exhale tension as you feel a
• 9:16
  sense of release. Allow your body to sink deeper
• 9:27
  and deeper. Relaxed.
• 9:31
  Just get a feeling of drifting, drifting to a place where you
• 9:38
  feel safe and protected. As you breathe in and breathe
• 9:48
  out. Allow yourself to let go and
• 9:53
  relax and imagine drifting back all the way back in time in your
• 10:02
  current body, but going back to a time.
• 10:06
  A time to someone that you trusted would keep you safe,
• 10:13
  that you trusted, had your best interests at heart.
• 10:25
  And I want you to think of that person that even if that person
• 10:30
  isn't around anymore, imagine them when they were at their
• 10:37
  very best. See their face, their smile.
• 10:44
  More importantly, scan your body for how you feel to remind
• 10:49
  yourself how to feel safe, how to feel intuitive feelings of
• 11:01
  trust that were warranted because that person was worthy
• 11:07
  of that trust. I want you to remember their
• 11:18
  voice, and if you can recall their voice and their tonality,
• 11:27
  just let me know by nodding your head.
• 11:37
  And I want you to allow that voice to now become a part of
• 11:44
  your inner dialogue, to enable this warm, loving, protective
• 11:55
  voice to be a guardian of you. This voice will now become part
• 12:07
  of your intuition to keep you safe.
• 12:13
  Not a voice of fear, but a voice of love and protection, meeting
• 12:22
  the intention of protection, but delivered in a way where you
• 12:28
  feel safe rather than vulnerable.
• 12:37
  I want you to imagine a place nearby to this person, maybe a
• 12:43
  sofa, a bed, something comfortable and relaxing.
• 12:50
  But keep that voice nearby. And as you imagine sitting on
• 12:56
  that comfortable, relaxing thing, notice how because you
• 13:03
  feel safe, you breathe even deeper.
• 13:07
  You feel even calmer. I just imagine drifting deeply
• 13:15
  down deeper down to your subconscious mind place where
• 13:23
  change happens, sometimes effortlessly.
• 13:29
  So you're right, let's get a heavier and heavier.
• 13:33
  Any tension in your forehead, your jaw, your neck or your
• 13:36
  shoulders starts to relax. And very soon I will count down
• 13:43
  from 12:50 and you will imagine gravitating deeper down. 10 just
• 13:56
  sinking into a balance of peace and focus. 9 Feeling safe,
• 14:07
  protected and yet in control. 8 Becoming more in tune with your
• 14:15
  instincts. You've quietened down one voice
• 14:22
  and replaced it with something that feels protective yet
• 14:26
  loving. 7 Sharpening your ability to notice what truly
• 14:34
  matters. Six, more relaxed now as you
• 14:40
  release tension but keeping your mind awake and aware.
• 14:50
  Five, feeling comfortable and at ease, but also deeply discerning
• 15:02
  as you realise that discerning is noticing the difference that
• 15:11
  not everyone notices. 4 Feel like you can see things clearly,
• 15:23
  effortlessly, The ability to see things as they actually are.
• 15:31
  Not better than, but not worse than.
• 15:36
  Just as it is like information, three, feel a deep trust in
• 15:44
  yourself forming, and two, start to awaken an unshakable sense of
• 15:54
  inner wisdom. And one start to feel like
• 16:00
  you're completely in tune with your intuition, your
• 16:06
  intelligence, and your ability to navigate the world.
• 16:16
  Recall that protective yet loving voice and start to
• 16:21
  imagine that voice as a guardian inside you, part of your mind
• 16:29
  that has always been looking out for you, keeping you safe and
• 16:35
  scanning for risks. This part of you has good
• 16:50
  intentions, but at times when it was a different voice may have
• 16:59
  been overactive, hyper vigilant, seeing threats where none
• 17:05
  existed, feeling unsure of who to trust.
• 17:13
  But now it's time to fine tune this guardian, to transform it
• 17:20
  into something far more powerful and useful.
• 17:28
  Because the strongest, most capable people in the world,
• 17:31
  they're not blind to risk. They don't trust blindly, nor do
• 17:38
  they live in fear. I want you to get a sense that
• 17:45
  what if the ideal balance was positive paranoia, A sharp of a
• 17:56
  sense of discernment that allows them to trust when trust is
• 18:01
  earned and to change course the moment something feels wrong.
• 18:10
  So now feel like you are activating that incredible power
• 18:16
  we can call pragmatic Awareness. So imagine this guardian within
• 18:23
  you transforming, evolving, upgrading into a calm strategic
• 18:31
  advisor with that voice that you know you can trust.
• 18:37
  Try it now. Those same fears and worries
• 18:41
  you've been having. Hear it in that voice.
• 18:47
  A loving, calm, protective voice that only has your best
• 18:54
  interests at heart. Kind of voice that allows you to
• 19:01
  trust as a default, but also withdraw that trust instantly if
• 19:10
  it's no longer deserved. Because there's a.
• 19:16
  Part of you that feels anxious sometimes, even if you can't
• 19:25
  find a good enough reason. But I want you to instead to
• 19:32
  feel that this loving part is becoming more discerning.
• 19:41
  Not scared of maybes and unlikely events, but able to
• 19:49
  decipher the noise, to give you clear, intelligent signals about
• 19:56
  what actions that need to be taken.
• 20:03
  So feel that shift happening now.
• 20:08
  Feel that? Panic, paranoid part evolving
• 20:14
  into that kind, loving, protective part.
• 20:21
  But imagine that part knowing the difference between agendas
• 20:32
  and malicious intentions and just ignorance or lack of
• 20:38
  planning. That part knows the difference,
• 20:46
  and maybe that part communicates through inner dialogue guiding
• 20:50
  you. Or maybe it's a gut feel that
• 20:54
  you can feel in your body. Wouldn't it be good to trust
• 20:59
  your gut and know that it's right, rather than just being
• 21:05
  afraid of shadows? Because you don't need to live
• 21:11
  in fear, because now you're becoming more aware and more in
• 21:18
  control. Your first reaction won't be
• 21:27
  that someone is trying to deceive you or manipulate you,
• 21:33
  It will be that there is a simple explanation.
• 21:40
  But if you get a sense either through evidence or consistency,
• 21:52
  feel free to upgrade and update that thought of that person to
• 21:59
  put them in that category of someone not.
• 22:03
  Worthy of your. Trust.
• 22:10
  Feel that your mind is no longer burdened by unnecessary worries.
• 22:17
  Instead, feel it becoming clear, sharp, and prepared.
• 22:24
  Feel this new inner strength awakening and locking into
• 22:29
  place. Now I want you to imagine
• 22:37
  yourself perhaps just a few weeks from now, a version of you
• 22:43
  that is embracing this middle ground.
• 22:51
  Not paranoid of everything, but not recklessly naive, just the
• 22:58
  right amount of paranoia so it's positive and useful for you.
• 23:07
  See that version of you that is moving and talking and acting
• 23:13
  with a calm confidence. Go further into the future and
• 23:20
  see a version of you that is designed and created.
• 23:24
  A life where you are less vulnerable, a life where you are
• 23:29
  less dependent on others. See a version of you, perhaps a
• 23:35
  year or two from now that is built real security, financial,
• 23:42
  emotional, mental security. They are still you, but in your
• 23:49
  future. What do they look like?
• 23:54
  How do they carry themselves? What do they do to reduce risks,
• 24:03
  to know who to trust and who not to?
• 24:05
  And what kinds of people do they surround themselves with?
• 24:10
  And what you're confident that this future version of you is
• 24:17
  just the right balance of paranoia to keep them?
• 24:20
  Safe. Let me know by nodding your head
• 24:27
  and then step into this version of you.
• 24:31
  Now feel what it's like to walk through life with trust but also
• 24:39
  wisdom. To feel trusting but also
• 24:46
  discerning. To know that you are safe not
• 24:52
  because you are paranoid, but because you've designed your
• 24:56
  life in a way that reduces and minimises risks.
• 25:05
  I want you to make an evaluation that the point of paranoia is
• 25:09
  not fear and hesitation and avoidance.
• 25:15
  It's to unlock actions, decisions, courage.
• 25:25
  I want you to feel that you are now able to make the right moves
• 25:30
  today to steer your future so it becomes stronger, more
• 25:36
  independent and more protected. That you are becoming your own
• 25:43
  guardian. That as trust in you increases,
• 25:49
  your dependency on others naturally reduces.
• 25:57
  Consider your default a sense of calm trust.
• 26:06
  But at the same time, the moment someone reveals themselves as
• 26:10
  unworthy of that trust, you change.
• 26:15
  Without hesitation, without emotion, just pure, effortless
• 26:21
  certainty. You can trust, and you can
• 26:28
  decide when not to. You make that decision and you
• 26:34
  can always reverse it. If someone then becomes worthy
• 26:37
  of your trust again. If they fool you once, fall on
• 26:45
  them. If they fool you twice, it means
• 26:50
  they are no longer worthy of your trust.
• 26:55
  You protect yourself with discernment and boundaries.
• 26:59
  But also courageous actions to become less and less dependent
• 27:13
  as you breathe in that trust, feel that you are protected by
• 27:19
  that voice, that loving, wise, caring voice to help you on this
• 27:32
  journey. You're no longer alone.
• 27:37
  You have a part of you inspired by someone of your past with you
• 27:46
  on this journey. But it's time to return to the
• 27:51
  present, taking these feelings with you, to take a deep breath
• 27:58
  in through your nose and out through your nose.
• 28:04
  As you wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes, you begin to
• 28:06
  return to the present moment, but bringing back all the
• 28:11
  clarity, wisdom, confidence and self trust that you've just
• 28:17
  activated. And more importantly, you will
• 28:22
  take back a voice of positive paranoia that is loving and
• 28:29
  caring and protective but never becoming overprotective.
• 28:37
  Starting to count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 28:41
  Starting to count 123. Waking up 456.
• 28:46
  More alert. 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 28:50
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 28:56
  awake. Thank you for listening to The
