• 0:14
  royalty. Adam Cox.
• 0:16
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's

  This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
• 0:30
  severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
• 0:34

• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And on today's episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
• 0:48
  created for a client that had a very serious medical issue with
• 0:54
  their brain, an aneurysm that really needed attention.
• 0:59
  They had the attention and they were in recovery.
• 1:04
  But unfortunately, what was happening as a side effect of
• 1:08
  the original element of the issue is that when they had this
• 1:14
  aneurysm. They collapsed.
• 1:16
  And then from that point onwards, even though the medical
• 1:19
  attention that they received was the right attention, any
• 1:23
  feelings in certain locations would feel a sense of anxiety,
• 1:27
  but also dizziness. And that was actually causing
• 1:32
  anticipatory fear, which was impeding their ability to be in
• 1:36
  situations where they might be around other people,
• 1:40
  particularly public types of situations.
• 1:43
  There was a feeling of anxiety in those situations.
• 1:48
  Now, it was long since the issue had been resolved, but the echo
• 1:53
  of that was the anxiety and feelings of dizziness.
• 1:57
  And by the way, these dizzy spells weren't very long.
• 2:00
  They were just a a few minutes and then they would go away.
• 2:04
  But there was a feeling that because there was this dizziness
• 2:07
  when they collapsed the first time, that this could mean
• 2:10
  something more serious. So what you're going to hear in
• 2:13
  this hypnosis session is a reframe, and this reframe is
• 2:17
  positioning a. Part.
• 2:20
  Of them as almost a bit of a troublemaker, a bit of a cheeky
• 2:24
  Rascal that is causing a bit of mayhem.
• 2:28
  But also that the dizziness is an echo of a previous event and
• 2:33
  not the event itself. And by framing it as an echo, it
• 2:38
  seems to distance and disassociate from the original
• 2:43
  actual event that did take place.
• 2:46
  Now, the cheeky Rascal is a deliberate term because what
• 2:49
  we're doing is that this part that is causing the anxiety has
• 2:55
  a protective intention, but in doing so, it's actually causing
• 2:59
  a bit of problems and mayhem for them.
• 3:02
  So this element of calling it a cheeky Rascal, which in British
• 3:07
  English would be a term of endearment of normally a child
• 3:12
  that is being troublesome, but in a, a playful or a cheeky way,
• 3:16
  not in a a hurtful or a mean way.
• 3:20
  And therefore it gives it a lens to look through where it's more
• 3:25
  playful rather than destructive. And a combination of these
• 3:30
  things about the Echo and the Cheeky Rascal is a way to make
• 3:35
  the feelings of dizziness feel very manageable, feel very
• 3:41
  temporary, and feel that it doesn't have to escalate or
• 3:45
  amplify into something more serious.
• 3:48
  I think anyone with recurring feelings of dizziness will
• 3:51
  benefit to some extent from this, but obviously be aware
• 3:54
  that it was created for a very specific client in certain
• 3:57
  circumstances. And if you like the idea of a
• 4:00
  bespoke session then look for the link in the show notes and
• 4:04
  you can schedule that free Zoom consultation call and we'll have
• 4:07
  a chat to see if the right hypnotherapist to work for you.
• 4:12
  For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 4:14
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:44
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, imagine breathing in
• 4:53
  a wonderful feeling of calm and relaxation.
• 5:00
  Breathing in that wonderful feeling of relaxation and as you
• 5:04
  exhale, allow yourself to feel like any tension, stress or
• 5:13
  worries is starting to leave your body in that outward
• 5:19
  breath. As you breathe in and breathe
• 5:24
  out, become aware of your centre of gravity, the feeling of your
• 5:32
  body, and position your body in a way that feels more
• 5:37
  comfortable if that helps. And allow yourself, as you
• 5:45
  breathe in and breathe out, to fill your eyelids, getting
• 5:49
  heavier and more relaxed, breathing in, gently exhaling,
• 6:03
  just like the soft ebb and flow of waves on a warm tropical
• 6:11
  beach. And I want you to use the power
• 6:16
  of your imagination to go back to a memory of a specific
• 6:24
  tropical beach. Only this time, imagine that you
• 6:30
  have that beach all for yourself, no one there but you
• 6:37
  on the soft white sands, seeing the palm trees, blue skies and
• 6:44
  sunshine, and notice the waves rising and falling and gently
• 6:53
  breaking on the shore. I want you to feel that this is
• 7:00
  a safe, comfortable moment, a safe place inside your
• 7:06
  imagination to enable you to let go of any tension, any worries,
• 7:14
  to allow your emotions to reset. You've been through a lot and
• 7:23
  therefore your brain, your mind has been trying to keep you safe
• 7:30
  by being vigilant and cautious. But it's come at a cost.
• 7:38
  And I want you to feel that with all of these tests, all of these
• 7:47
  scans, you don't need to worry about some of these things
• 7:53
  anymore. So just feel that you're on that
• 7:59
  beach, standing barefoot on soft white sands.
• 8:09
  They're on the shore of that beautiful tropical beach.
• 8:15
  Maybe you could imagine the air is warm, maybe a gentle breeze
• 8:20
  on your skin, and imagine hearing the rhythmic sound of
• 8:26
  waves rolling in and drifting back out again.
• 8:37
  And I want you to look at the sky and see that it's a perfect
• 8:40
  shade of blue, just a few white clouds drifting peacefully by.
• 8:47
  And allow yourself to walk slowly along that beach, feeling
• 8:58
  the warm sand beneath your feet. And maybe you'll wear the sea
• 9:05
  meets the sand, and you can feel the cool sea there on your feet,
• 9:13
  your ankles, as the waves gently break on the shore.
• 9:22
  And every now and then a wave comes in a bit stronger, a
• 9:28
  splash that's higher than the rest.
• 9:33
  But observe how it quickly settles.
• 9:38
  Just a passing moment and then everything is calm again.
• 9:48
  We need to see one of those white fluffy clouds turning
• 9:53
  dark. Just experience a tropical
• 10:00
  shower, one of those light rains that appears suddenly.
• 10:12
  It's there, intense, clears the humidity in the warm air, and
• 10:24
  then disappears just as quickly, leaving everything fresh when it
• 10:33
  fades away. I want you to get a sense that
• 10:39
  some things in life are like that.
• 10:42
  Unwelcome, maybe unexpected, but short and manageable and always
• 10:53
  passing. I want you to imagine there is a
• 10:59
  sun lounger there on that beach. The tropical showers pass, the
• 11:05
  blue skies are back. And just imagine lying back on
• 11:09
  that sun lounger, feeling completely at peace with the
• 11:17
  sound of the waves lapping gently nearby.
• 11:23
  Imagine looking up at the sky, noticing the clouds drifting
• 11:33
  lazily overhead. And just like thoughts or
• 11:40
  sensations, you can let them go. A cloud doesn't stay there
• 11:48
  forever, and neither does a thought.
• 11:53
  Observe them and allow them to pass, knowing that they never
• 12:02
  stay long. And every wave and every breeze
• 12:09
  and every breath helps you to drift deeper, deeper into calm,
• 12:19
  into safety, into a place where you remember just how far you've
• 12:26
  come. Because you have come far.
• 12:34
  You are healing and you are strong.
• 12:36
  And what if you are ready now to think differently?
• 12:43
  And those sensations that once may have caused concern could
• 12:48
  take on a new meaning, a new connotation.
• 12:52
  And you get to decide what that meaning and connotation is.
• 13:01
  Because from this relaxed and resourceful place, you can begin
• 13:07
  to re evaluate those temporary sensations.
• 13:13
  Sensations like Lightheadedness and a little dizziness.
• 13:20
  What if you thought of them as nothing more than a cheeky
• 13:23
  Rascal? A little Rascal that comes to
• 13:28
  visit now and then? I'm invited, but no longer
• 13:35
  threatening. And maybe you smile to yourself
• 13:40
  because you know this little Rascal has no real power
• 13:46
  anymore. It's not the storm it once was.
• 13:51
  It carries no intimidation or fear.
• 13:56
  It's just the echo of what has long since passed, an echo of
• 14:04
  something already resolved. And the beautiful thing about
• 14:10
  echoes is that they fade. They fade naturally.
• 14:18
  They get quieter over time, becoming less intense and less
• 14:24
  frequent. So now, whenever that cheeky
• 14:31
  Rascal shows up, just imagine pausing, giving you time to
• 14:39
  evaluate, allow yourself to breathe in a nice relaxed way.
• 14:51
  And maybe you could imagine talking to that little rask and
• 14:56
  then saying, I see you and you're a little echo.
• 15:03
  I know what you are because you do know what it is.
• 15:10
  You know that it's manageable. It's temporary and you know that
• 15:17
  it always passes. In fact, the more you greet it
• 15:23
  calmly, with confidence, humour or cheekiness, the faster it
• 15:31
  fades. And over time, as you react or
• 15:40
  respond with less fear and less focus, what if the Rascal gets
• 15:46
  bored, stops showing up as often, becomes less of a thing?
• 15:56
  And even when it does pop by, you don't let it take up too
• 16:01
  much space because you've already focused on something far
• 16:06
  more important, on healing, on living, on moving forward with
• 16:16
  strength and confidence. If there was something
• 16:23
  neurologically wrong, they would have found it.
• 16:26
  And they haven't. Which is how you know that this
• 16:31
  Rascal is indeed an echo, like a tickling sensation on a phantom
• 16:39
  limb. It's not real, and the more you
• 16:45
  think of it in that way, the truer it becomes.
• 16:52
  You were not broken, you are recovering, you are resilient
• 16:58
  and you are whole. This will pass, it always does.
• 17:08
  But I want you to teleport forwards in time, perhaps to an
• 17:12
  upcoming meeting, a presentation kind of place where lots of
• 17:18
  people will be there. And just imagine feeling that
• 17:23
  light headed feeling or dizziness.
• 17:28
  But imagine smiling to yourself, calling that sensation A cheeky
• 17:36
  Rascal. You've been asking it.
• 17:42
  You're going to be here for two or three minutes or less.
• 17:48
  You're not fazed by it. You're not worried by it.
• 17:53
  If you need to sit down, you can, but it's no big deal.
• 18:01
  And if it feels more manageable, more temporary, less of a big
• 18:08
  deal, just let me know. By nodding your head, that's it.
• 18:13
  And in doing so, you are helping the echo to fade away.
• 18:25
  I want you to imagine getting up off that lounger, and I want you
• 18:31
  to imagine taking a gentle swim in the sea and allowing all of
• 18:38
  the emotional baggage of this past few months to feel like
• 18:43
  it's washing off. You feel like you are on the
• 18:50
  brink of a fresh start feeling empowered, confident, ready to
• 18:57
  move forward. And as you return to the shore,
• 19:01
  feel lighter, more optimistic that things are going to get
• 19:07
  better and better. It's time to return to the
• 19:13
  presence. So take a deep breath in through
• 19:15
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 19:21
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 19:23
  Start to connect and calibrate with the here and the now as I
• 19:28
  now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 19:33
  Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert 7-8 open your
• 19:44
  eyes, open your eyes. That's it. 910 wide awake, wide
• 19:49
  awake, wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
