  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:03
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
• 0:07
  issues. Brought to you by the
• 0:10
  hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:19
  world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
• 0:23
  hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
• 0:27
  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:45
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session,
• 0:49
  you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session created for a
• 0:53
  client that had extreme anxiety, particularly related to medical
• 1:00
  appointments. So things like.
• 1:02
  A blood pressure. Test or a blood.
• 1:05
  Test or just. Routine check UPS would actually
• 1:08
  get them on edge and this client handled this situation the way
• 1:13
  that most people with anxiety handle it, and that is that they
• 1:17
  avoid it if they possibly can. But the problem with that is
• 1:20
  that every time you avoid something or if it feels too
• 1:25
  anxious, you get yourself out of that situation.
• 1:28
  It inadvertently increases the sensitivity and the probability
• 1:33
  that the next time you're going to be.
• 1:34
  Triggered. Even more so, this uses the
• 1:39
  opposite mentality, this idea that if you do the thing that
• 1:44
  causes the anxiety, then the anxiety will start to fade away.
• 1:49
  The comfort zone will expand. It's really the.
• 1:52
  Essence to this and it does utilize a military metaphor
• 1:57
  metaphor. So you can think of sometimes
• 2:01
  people will say like they're they're battling with mental
• 2:04
  health. You know, there's an unconscious
• 2:07
  military metaphor going on there.
• 2:09
  So we harness that and it's about having a warrior mentality
• 2:13
  and warriors are known for their courage or their bravery.
• 2:18
  So it looks at something which, yes, the anxiety may be real,
• 2:22
  but by doing the thing anyway, it means that it reduces future
• 2:28
  anxiety and also gives them a sense of pride and
• 2:31
  accomplishment. So there's a metaphor of a
• 2:34
  comfort zone, there's a metaphor of battles.
• 2:37
  And you'll hear the very key suggestion in this hypnosis
• 2:41
  session, which is the only way to lose the battle is to either
• 2:45
  avoid it or retreat. So feel the anxiety and then run
• 2:49
  away. But if you just do the thing and
• 2:53
  you experience the anxiety, all anxiety is temporary.
• 2:56
  It's just waves that come and then they go.
• 2:59
  Then that's a victory. And the more victories you have,
• 3:03
  the more the comfort zone expands and the less likely you
• 3:05
  are to have any anxiety in the future.
• 3:08
  And that's the core to this hypnosis session.
• 3:10
  So if you have anxiety, and it doesn't have to be medical
• 3:14
  anxiety, by the way, this uses a metaphor.
• 3:16
  So anything that triggers your anxiety will still benefit from
• 3:21
  this hypnosis session. Then I think you'll really get
• 3:24
  some value. If you do like the idea of
• 3:26
  working with me directly, there will be a link in the show notes
• 3:30
  where you can schedule a completely free consultation
• 3:33
  call to explore working with me directly.
• 3:36
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 3:39
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:09
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in.
• 4:19
  Then calm, relaxing, resourceful breath.
• 4:27
  And as you exhale, just allow any feelings of worry, stress or
• 4:34
  tension to feel like it's leaving your body in that
• 4:42
  outward breath, enabling you to feel deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 4:50
  And with your eyes feeling heavier and heavier eyelids
• 4:58
  wanting to help you drift into that place that we can call
• 5:03
  relaxation. Notice with every outward breath
• 5:11
  that you allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 5:18
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 5:31
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 5:41
  And and as you listen to the sound of my voice, you may
• 5:48
  notice how some thoughts become clearer while others just drift
• 5:55
  away. And the more you try to focus,
• 6:01
  the more your mind may wonder. Just like clouds in the sky,
• 6:11
  drifting, shifting, disappearing.
• 6:16
  And you may be wondering now whether your breathing is
• 6:20
  slowing or if it's simply that your awareness is changing.
• 6:32
  And as you notice what you're noticing, you may start to
• 6:40
  wonder, was it your left hand or your right hand that just began
• 6:46
  to feel just slightly heavier? And in this strange moment of
• 6:55
  not knowing exactly what to focus on, your unconscious mind
• 7:04
  begins to pay even more attention to exactly what it
• 7:11
  needs to hear. So now begin to turn your
• 7:18
  attention inward and allow the muscles around your eyes to
• 7:26
  soften as if they no longer need to do anything at all.
• 7:35
  Just let that comfort drift down across your face, releasing any
• 7:43
  tension in your jaw, with your tongue resting gently in your
• 7:49
  mouth. And maybe you can feel your
• 7:57
  shoulders release as if a burden has been lifted, and notice with
• 8:08
  each breath your chest and belly rise and fall with increasing
• 8:15
  ease. And as you exhale now, just feel
• 8:25
  that relaxation spreading down through your arms, into your
• 8:32
  hands, into every finger, let your back relax your legs, all
• 8:43
  the way down, deep down to your feet.
• 8:48
  And with each moment, each breath, you are becoming more
• 8:58
  relaxed and yet also more aware. And as I count down from 5 to 1,
• 9:13
  you'll begin to notice yourself drifting even deeper.
• 9:19
  Not because you're trying, but because you're allowing 5.
• 9:28
  The body rests more fully. And four, your mind opens just
• 9:34
  like a door. And three, you can go deeper
• 9:41
  with every sound that you hear. And then two, imagine everything
• 9:50
  is fading away now. And one, you are now in that
• 9:57
  perfect place between awareness and transformation.
• 10:03
  Some people call that hypnosis, imagination, a state of reverie.
• 10:11
  But just feel that wonderful feeling of a combination of
• 10:16
  relaxation and focus. And in this place, you could
• 10:25
  imagine your subconscious mind like fertile soil in which seeds
• 10:32
  of ideas can be planted from this point forwards, Every time
• 10:41
  anxiety appears, you smile slightly, because you know this
• 10:51
  is the edge of your comfort zone.
• 10:56
  You lean in, not away, because you now understand that what you
• 11:05
  resist persists and what you embrace dissolves.
• 11:16
  And if your mind that in a dialogue says I can't imagine
• 11:22
  immediately responding with if I can't, then I must.
• 11:31
  As you make the assessment that anxiety is no longer the enemy,
• 11:40
  it's the energy of growth awakening within you.
• 11:46
  It's how you become mentally stronger by walking into the
• 11:53
  void rather than running away from it.
• 11:59
  In fact, you now move through discomfort like a warrior walks
• 12:06
  through fog, undaunted, clear and committed.
• 12:15
  In fact, the only battle that you can lose is the one you
• 12:22
  don't fight. And you have now chosen to show
• 12:27
  up fully. And as you step forward, you
• 12:34
  feel anxiety. Step back and retreat because
• 12:42
  action is your antidote. You now associate fear with
• 12:50
  fuel. The more you feel it, more power
• 12:56
  you unlock and unleash. You welcome challenges like
• 13:05
  training grounds because every challenge expands your capacity
• 13:19
  deeper and deeper. Relaxed, you no longer avoid
• 13:27
  escape or retreat. You breathe, find that
• 13:34
  resourceful centre within and advance.
• 13:41
  Courage flows through you like a current.
• 13:46
  You only need to act and the rest follows because discomfort
• 13:56
  now means growth and you are addicted to growth, addicted to
• 14:04
  expanding your comfort zone. I want you to think back to
• 14:11
  recent times where you could have retreated but didn't,
• 14:19
  coming to the irrefutable conclusion that these were
• 14:24
  victories. You treat them as victories
• 14:30
  because that is exactly what they are.
• 14:34
  You are expanding your comfort zone.
• 14:40
  You may even laugh at hesitation because you now know the truth.
• 14:47
  You are born to move forwards. Anxiety is not the enemy.
• 14:56
  It's the Canary in the coal mine, a clue to let you know if
• 15:02
  you've expanded your comfort zone sufficiently wide.
• 15:06
  And when the anxiety goes away, that lets you know and lets you
• 15:14
  know that your comfort zone has expanded sufficiently so this no
• 15:20
  longer becomes an issue. So when you feel anxious, you
• 15:27
  treat it like an opportunity to expand that comfort zone.
• 15:32
  This is a moment to rise, and every step outside your comfort
• 15:41
  zone makes any future steps easier, calmer, and more
• 15:47
  powerful. I want you to say the words.
• 15:52
  Bring it on in a confident tone of voice there in your inner
• 15:57
  dialogue. Bring it on.
• 16:02
  And imagine having that bring it on energy to any situation that
• 16:08
  in the past would have caused anxiety.
• 16:10
  Now you are fearless in battle because you trust yourself to
• 16:17
  handle it. You either get the victory or
• 16:21
  the wisdom, and the wisdom is just another victory because
• 16:27
  there is a warrior within you that fears nothing.
• 16:34
  Allow that part to take the lead and don't be surprised if your
• 16:42
  posture, your breathing, your inner dialogue, it becomes
• 16:49
  aligned and congruent with that warrior mentality.
• 16:56
  I'll handle it. Nothing will stop me doing this.
• 17:03
  And every time that in a dialogue is in a courageous,
• 17:08
  confident tonality, the warrior within becomes stronger and the
• 17:16
  part of you that wanted to avoid or retreat gets weaker.
• 17:26
  Doing The thing is what brings more confidence.
• 17:33
  Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to
• 17:38
  take action in the face of anxiety and adversity.
• 17:49
  So take a deep breath in realizing that every breath you
• 17:54
  take fuels you with resourcefulness, and every
• 18:00
  breath you release releases doubt, unlocking limitless
• 18:08
  courage. Because you don't have to wait
• 18:11
  to feel brave. Acknowledge the anxiety, do the
• 18:18
  thing, and bravery meets you into these mini battles.
• 18:27
  From this point on, anxiety and the triggers of the past are not
• 18:34
  a wall, not a deterrent. They are a doorway.
• 18:40
  A doorway that leads to a future without this anxiety.
• 18:48
  And I want you to imagine picturing A doorway now, perhaps
• 18:53
  in a hospital or a clinic, perhaps somewhere else.
• 19:02
  And I want you to imagine you've spent a year seeking out the
• 19:09
  edge of your comfort zone, and you're going to visit that
• 19:13
  version of you a year from now as an invisible observer.
• 19:21
  You're about to see that version of you that has faced anxiety
• 19:29
  and overcome it again and again and again.
• 19:35
  You're about to see the version of you where the comfort zone is
• 19:38
  so wide, hardly anything phases you anymore.
• 19:46
  So walk through that door and I want you to see yourself in the
• 19:51
  very environment that in the past would have triggered you.
• 19:56
  But as you see that future version of you, it no longer
• 20:01
  does. I want you to see see yourself
• 20:07
  doing something. That gives you irrefutable
• 20:11
  evidence that the anxiety is gone and is gone for good.
• 20:17
  Because if you can do that thing, you can do anything.
• 20:24
  See that future version of you giving you convincing evidence
• 20:29
  that the fear is gone. And when you've seen that future
• 20:34
  version of you doing that thing and not doing it reluctantly,
• 20:38
  not doing it in a way where it's under duress, see yourself doing
• 20:45
  it in a cool, calm, confident way, completely unflappable,
• 20:51
  unfazed. And when you see the future
• 20:54
  version of you doing it in that way, let me know by nodding your
• 20:59
  head. That's it.
• 21:07
  And then step into that future version of you to get a feeling,
• 21:13
  a taste of how it will be, and imagine doing whatever The thing
• 21:18
  is with the energy of pure confidence and calmness like
• 21:25
  it's nothing. And when you're experiencing it
• 21:32
  like it's happening in the present in a way that doesn't
• 21:35
  bother you, phase you, or cause any anxiety, I mean, no.
• 21:41
  But nodding your head, that's it.
• 21:46
  And I want you to consider this not a possibility or even a
• 21:54
  probability. This is now your destiny.
• 21:59
  This is now inevitable because as you expand the comfort zone,
• 22:05
  this is where it's taking you to this future.
• 22:10
  A future where you don't need courage and bravery anymore
• 22:15
  because it doesn't 'cause you anxiety anymore.
• 22:22
  Allow this future resourceful state to be planted as a seed in
• 22:28
  your deep subconscious mind, knowing that every time you face
• 22:34
  anxiety, you are walking a step closer to this future.
• 22:42
  But I want you to leave this place back through that same
• 22:45
  door. And I want you to feel it's time
• 22:48
  to return back to the here and now.
• 22:50
  But taking this feeling and this strategy, this warrior mentality
• 22:57
  of bring it on, nothing will deter me all the way back into
• 23:03
  the here and now with a desire to seek out those very places,
• 23:12
  people or environments that in the past would have caused
• 23:17
  anxiety to train your brain to expand that comfort zone.
• 23:25
  And maybe you have an idea of one or two things you could do
• 23:30
  in the next few weeks that would already start to expand your
• 23:34
  comfort zone to make you feel more confident, courageous to
• 23:42
  train the warrior within. But it's time to return to the
• 23:47
  here and now. So take a deep breath in through
• 23:49
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 23:55
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 23:57
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 24:03
  from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 24:06
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8.
• 24:16
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes, 910.
• 24:20
  Wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
