• 0:40
  Hi. It's Adam here, and in today's
• 0:43
  episode of The Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a
• 0:46
  hypnosis session created for a client was also working in
• 0:50
  mental health. They were a counselling
• 0:52
  psychologist and felt that they should be more motivated, more
• 1:00
  passionate, more enthusiastic about their work than they
• 1:03
  actually were. And what was really fascinating
• 1:07
  about this particular client is that a lot of the evidence
• 1:12
  around them was that they were great at their work, having a
• 1:16
  good impact, but there was this, what if?
• 1:19
  What if I'm not doing enough? What if I'm not helping?
• 1:22
  What if I should be doing more? And that was actually dampening
• 1:25
  their enthusiasm. The reason they became a
• 1:29
  psychologist was because they wanted to have an impact and
• 1:32
  help people. But the nature of doing therapy
• 1:37
  quite often is that you don't actually get to see the results
• 1:41
  of what you do. You know, it's happening in the
• 1:43
  lives of the client that you're working with.
• 1:46
  So this was causing a cycle of ever decreasing levels of
• 1:52
  enthusiasm and passion, leading them to even question whether
• 1:56
  they should be doing that. So what you're going to hear in
• 1:59
  this hypnosis session is an element of activating the
• 2:03
  resource states that they needed most, enthusiasm, passion,
• 2:07
  determination, motivation, and releasing the doubts and
• 2:12
  insecurities that they weren't doing enough.
• 2:17
  And it also uses elements of time.
• 2:19
  And using elements of time is one of my favorite things to
• 2:22
  play with because they could recall a time in their past
• 2:25
  where they were really passionate and enthusiastic.
• 2:27
  So we. Go back to that moment,
• 2:29
  rekindle, reactivate those resource states, and then
• 2:33
  consider three different futures.
• 2:36
  A future where they continue but don't really feel passionate
• 2:41
  about what they do and giving it the meaning that they're doing
• 2:45
  an injustice to their clients, their patients.
• 2:49
  The second timeline is. To.
• 2:50
  Quit and do something else. And then that future paces this
• 2:54
  idea of how many people could they have helped but didn't.
• 2:59
  And and that inverse is this idea of not doing enough.
• 3:04
  It's kind of like, well, if you did nothing, then how many
• 3:07
  people would, how many people's lives would be worse off?
• 3:10
  And then the third timeline, which is obviously the most
• 3:12
  desirable timeline, is to activate feelings of motivation,
• 3:17
  passion, enthusiasm for the work that they do and feel and
• 3:21
  believe that they're making an impact, which then gives them
• 3:24
  even more motivation. And I could really resonate with
• 3:28
  this because one of the key things that keeps my enthusiasm
• 3:31
  and motivation so high for therapy.
• 3:35
  Is 2 key. Things 1A belief that I'm
• 3:37
  actually doing something that the world wants and I would say
• 3:41
  the audience numbers of my podcast give me that evidence
• 3:46
  and getting messages either from listeners or clients as.
• 3:51
  To the. Impact of my work that does
• 3:53
  that, so when it's really feeling I'm making a difference.
• 3:57
  But also the second key thing is I have the benchmark so low.
• 4:02
  When I actually became a therapist that had a podcast, I
• 4:08
  had this ultra low metric. And that is, if I could just
• 4:12
  help one person, then it's all worthwhile.
• 4:18
  And by having the metric so low, it means that any evidence that
• 4:23
  I'm doing it for more than one feels like I'm exceeding my own
• 4:28
  expectations. And there's a phrase that I use
• 4:31
  a lot and that is to make the game winnable.
• 4:34
  And a lot of people, whether it's kind of, they call it
• 4:38
  perfectionism, they frame it that if they could have done
• 4:42
  slightly more than they didn't do enough.
• 4:44
  And that is not true. But by framing it that way
• 4:48
  actually dampens and even strangles the very motivation
• 4:54
  needed to do the very thing that they would want to do.
• 4:58
  So this session is all about activating passion and
• 5:01
  enthusiasm, particularly in their industry to help people.
• 5:06
  But I would say this session would be helpful for anyone that
• 5:09
  wants to feel more passionate about what they do because.
• 5:13
  Whatever you do. The way that society is
• 5:16
  structured is that you get valued for having some kind of
• 5:23
  impact in some way. You know, if you create art,
• 5:28
  you're enriching the lives of other people.
• 5:30
  If you, let's say, help people get mortgages, you're giving
• 5:36
  people financial freedom or the ability to have their own home
• 5:42
  and not be the victim of ever increasing rents.
• 5:45
  Like whatever you do has a positive impact.
• 5:48
  So I would encourage you because this session was created for
• 5:50
  someone in the world of psychology and therapy, I would
• 5:53
  encourage you to think of what would it take for you to be
• 5:56
  really, really passionate about what you do and then consider
• 6:00
  these timelines. And it may be that actually you
• 6:03
  are better off doing something else that you're actually
• 6:06
  passionate about rather than doing something that you're not.
• 6:10
  But equally, it's possible that you could get passionate about
• 6:13
  what you're already doing. And these are the things to
• 6:16
  think about in this session so that you make it super relevant
• 6:20
  for you. This was created for a
• 6:25
  psychologist and therefore in order to get the best of this,
• 6:29
  make it relevant for you. But if you do feel like a
• 6:32
  bespoke session may be helpful for you, then there is the
• 6:36
  option to click a link in the show notes or visit my website
• 6:39
  adamcox.co.uk. Schedule a free consultation
• 6:42
  call with me over Zoom and we can explore working together.
• 6:45
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
• 6:48
  won't be disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 7:20
  Take a deep breath in and as you breathe in, breathe in a feeling
• 7:31
  of calmness and as you exhale, release any feelings of tension.
• 7:45
  And as you breathe in and breathe out, just allow your
• 7:52
  body to do the breathing for you.
• 7:56
  Don't will it force it, but equally don't stop it.
• 8:07
  And if your body wants to breathe deeper, allow it.
• 8:14
  And if your body wants to breathe slower and longer, allow
• 8:19
  it. And perhaps imagine that you're
• 8:22
  breathing in a wonderful feeling of resourcefulness and you know
• 8:33
  the. Resources that.
• 8:34
  Would be most useful. And while relaxation is a
• 8:40
  resource, so is passion, enthusiasm, motivation.
• 8:53
  So as you breathe in, imagine breathing in whatever resources
• 8:56
  you want most and exhaling the opposite and maybe the opposite
• 9:11
  of passion. And enthusiasm isn't negativity,
• 9:17
  it's apathy. Allow whatever is holding you
• 9:23
  back to be released and to feel it Leave your body as you
• 9:30
  exhale. I want you to get a sense that
• 9:40
  there's certain things that you hold to be true and you don't
• 9:45
  need evidence to believe them. You believe that the sun will
• 9:56
  rise tomorrow, even if you don't see the sunrise, and you may
• 10:07
  believe you have a good friendship even if you haven't
• 10:11
  spoken to that friend for a while.
• 10:17
  And for many of your beliefs, you will believe them unless
• 10:24
  there is a good reason not to believe them.
• 10:32
  So as you breathe in and breathe out, just allow yourself to
• 10:37
  believe that what you do is important, what you do is
• 10:46
  necessary, and what you do as a positive impact on other people.
• 10:59
  And as you believe that, allow the opposite beliefs to fade
• 11:07
  away. Because they were never beliefs,
• 11:11
  they were just doubts and insecurities.
• 11:16
  So allow them to melt away as you feel that you're becoming
• 11:20
  deeper and deeper, relaxed with every breath you take.
• 11:31
  You feel your body becoming more relaxed and maybe you notice how
• 11:37
  your shoulders feel lighter. Your jaw.
• 11:42
  Releasing any tension. Maybe your eyelids feel heavier.
• 11:52
  Maybe there is a tingling sensation, perhaps in a finger,
• 11:59
  a toe or somewhere else. Allow your attention to drift
• 12:06
  inwards as you feel the rhythm of your breath as it naturally
• 12:14
  slows, guiding you deeper and deeper into a wonderful state of
• 12:22
  calm relaxation. And with each exhale, imagine
• 12:31
  those doubts not just melting away, but as they melt away,
• 12:37
  leaving your body. They're not in you anymore, and
• 12:46
  as they leave, your body feel calmer, your mind lighter.
• 12:53
  And as you continue to relax, I want you to use the power of
• 12:58
  your imagination to imagine a long path in nature.
• 13:08
  Could be a trail, a footpath, and imagine yourself standing by
• 13:17
  the edge of that path, seeing the path go to your left and
• 13:23
  then go to the right as you start to imagine that this is a
• 13:29
  path that represents time. To your left is your past, and
• 13:38
  to your right is your future. So let's go backwards on the
• 13:46
  path first. And as you step onto the path,
• 13:55
  allow yourself to float and allow your mind to take you back
• 14:01
  to a moment when you felt most enthusiastic, most motivated,
• 14:11
  passionate, or committed about helping others.
• 14:19
  Maybe it was a specific client you were working with, maybe a
• 14:24
  friend that needed help, or maybe learning something new.
• 14:31
  Maybe it was a time when you were first inspired to do what
• 14:37
  you now do, or a moment where you felt deeply connected to the
• 14:43
  impact of your work. That time you really felt you
• 14:48
  did make a difference. Just trust your unconscious mind
• 14:57
  to guide you to the exact moment.
• 15:00
  And when you're there, let me know by nodding your head and
• 15:08
  feel like you're now stepping into that memory and notice what
• 15:13
  you see, hear and feel in this moment, where you were, what you
• 15:22
  were doing. Who else is around you?
• 15:27
  And maybe you can feel that enthusiasm, that inspiration,
• 15:35
  that motivation reawakening, amplifying.
• 15:46
  Maybe you can feel a sense of purpose, mission, or excitement.
• 15:52
  Maybe there was a time where something clicked when you said
• 15:59
  to yourself, this is what I want to do.
• 16:02
  This is what I am meant to do and just allow those positive
• 16:08
  feelings to grow stronger and brighter.
• 16:12
  Amplify them all and notice where in your body you feel that
• 16:17
  feeling of passion or enthusiasm and either point to it or just
• 16:22
  make a mental note of where it is.
• 16:29
  Picture a colour in that location and make the colour
• 16:34
  brighter. Notice if the colour is moving,
• 16:37
  and if it is, make it move even more.
• 16:41
  If it spins, rotates, pulsates. Increase the frequency as you
• 16:48
  feel that emotion becoming more intense.
• 16:56
  And maybe it's linked to an idea or a thought, a belief.
• 17:02
  I can help people, I can change someone's life, I can make a
• 17:12
  difference. When you find the idea or
• 17:18
  thought connected to that feeling, dial up the volume of
• 17:23
  that inner dialogue and say it with absolute certainty, just
• 17:27
  yourself. And when you've done that, let
• 17:32
  me know about nodding your head. That's it.
• 17:35
  And if this is the past, let's take those feelings, but go
• 17:45
  forwards on the path now where that pathway seems to split into
• 17:52
  three different new pathways. Perhaps it looks like a
• 17:58
  crossroads, or maybe they just split off like a tree branch
• 18:03
  going into three different directions.
• 18:09
  And let's explore one of those futures first.
• 18:15
  Imagine a future where you continue in your role, but maybe
• 18:20
  feel disengaged or unmotivated. Feelings of doubts or apathy.
• 18:30
  But observe this version of you see what happens if this
• 18:36
  timeline continues. Maybe see a future where?
• 18:45
  Your lack of. Enthusiasm gets read by a client
• 18:49
  or a patient, and they become disengaged, reading from your
• 18:56
  unconscious cues. Maybe there's one client that
• 19:03
  could have opened up and never does, a client that you could
• 19:07
  have impacted but don't quite do it.
• 19:12
  Follow that timeline and in that timeline see that you were doing
• 19:23
  an injustice to yourself and your clients.
• 19:32
  I want you to get a sense that there might be emotions
• 19:36
  connected to that future. Regret, monotony, that feeling
• 19:48
  of being on a hamster wheel, just going through the motions.
• 19:55
  See what you see, notice what you notice, and notice that that
• 20:00
  version of you isn't as happy as you could be.
• 20:06
  And if this unlocks a desire to change that, let me know by
• 20:09
  nodding your head. That's in.
• 20:13
  So go back to where the pathways splits into three and let's
• 20:17
  follow another pathway. A pathway where you decide if
• 20:24
  you can't be passionate and enthusiastic, you don't want
• 20:28
  that. And see yourself quitting that
• 20:33
  career, that profession, and doing something new and see what
• 20:42
  the actual consequences of that kind of decision would have.
• 20:48
  Maybe it gives your life less flexibility.
• 20:54
  Maybe there's less income, maybe that's also not fulfilling, but
• 21:00
  just in a different way. Follow that timeline and maybe
• 21:10
  it's simpler, easier, you feel more competent doing it.
• 21:17
  But also maybe notice it's not quite as rewarding, not quite as
• 21:23
  stimulating. Less things to learn and get
• 21:26
  better at. And imagine getting to the end
• 21:31
  of that timeline, taken to a waiting room, and being shown
• 21:42
  thousands of people you could have helped but didn't.
• 21:48
  Lives that became worse because you weren't there to make a
• 21:51
  difference. Maybe see or hear stories of
• 21:58
  tragedies, hopelessness, and maybe you start to think if you
• 22:07
  can stop just one of those tragedies from happening, that's
• 22:12
  enough. You don't have to change every
• 22:17
  single person, but if you can make a difference to just one or
• 22:23
  two or three extra lives, whether you knew about it or
• 22:29
  not, there's a part of you that wants to make that difference.
• 22:36
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 22:40
  So go back to that path where it splits into three and see that
• 22:45
  there is 1/3 path seems to be glowing in this pathway.
• 22:52
  There's a pathway that you see yourself absolutely certain
• 23:01
  you're making a difference. See that future where you have
• 23:09
  enthusiasm. The challenging clients are an
• 23:14
  opportunity to learn. Clients or patients,
• 23:21
  particularly younger ones that are disengaged is an opportunity
• 23:25
  to hone your rapport building skills.
• 23:32
  See that version of you where you're taking your qualities
• 23:35
  like empathy, consideration, kindness, and infusing it into
• 23:43
  what you do, not separating it. That when things go well, you
• 23:52
  get the wins and when things don't, you get the wisdom.
• 24:00
  See that version of you where as the weeks and months go by,
• 24:05
  you're getting better and better because you're going all in.
• 24:15
  You're putting yourself into the role, not simply doing the role.
• 24:20
  It becomes a part of your identity and your destiny.
• 24:26
  This is your purpose, a mission to help, to impact.
• 24:36
  And you come to a conclusion that if you have a life changing
• 24:43
  impact, someone in their 60s, it affects the next 20-30, forty
• 24:49
  years of their life. But if you have an impact in a
• 24:54
  child, a teenager, or a young adult, that could ripple through
• 25:00
  their life forever, even impacting future generations.
• 25:13
  See yourself embracing your role, stimulated by it.
• 25:20
  See yourself brimming with enthusiasm and passion.
• 25:30
  Maybe you recognise that every session, every interaction is an
• 25:33
  opportunity to create positive change.
• 25:41
  And maybe in this future, you've learned to see the absence of
• 25:45
  negative feedback as positive feedback, knowing that your
• 25:54
  client's return is a sign of the value you bring and step into
• 26:03
  that future timeline. Even the most challenging or
• 26:08
  disengaged of clients feels appealing to you.
• 26:15
  And maybe you can imagine waking up feeling motivated, inspired,
• 26:21
  and confident in your ability to make a difference.
• 26:29
  So take this future for a test drive.
• 26:32
  Imagine living that way. And if it feels desirable and
• 26:40
  possible for you, let me know about nodding your head.
• 26:47
  And as you stand in this future, notice how your enthusiasm grows
• 26:53
  like a snowball effect. The more passionate and engaged
• 26:57
  you are, the more impactful your work becomes, and then the more
• 27:02
  satisfied you feel, which leads to even more motivation and
• 27:07
  enthusiasm. I want you to imagine a moment
• 27:18
  in the future, perhaps one to three years from now, working
• 27:24
  with a particular child, withdrawn, disengaged, anxious,
• 27:30
  hesitant. And imagine seeing yourself
• 27:36
  making them feel so comfortable that they open up, they share
• 27:41
  something they weren't willing to share.
• 27:45
  And with that, you're able to help them make one significant
• 27:53
  change that changes their life forever.
• 28:00
  Maybe see yourself breaking a cycle.
• 28:07
  See yourself having the most wonderful impact and see how it
• 28:13
  lights you up. Making a difference to others,
• 28:17
  makes you feel energized. See yourself thriving, becoming
• 28:24
  more skilled, effective, creating a cycle of positivity
• 28:29
  and success. As you feel the energy, the
• 28:33
  motivation and the deep sense of fulfilment radiating through
• 28:39
  you, feel it there in your chest.
• 28:42
  This is your future, and it's one you can choose to step into
• 28:47
  fully by just deciding you don't want anything else but that.
• 28:53
  And when you come to that conclusion, let me know by
• 28:56
  nodding your head to take all those learnings, insights, and
• 29:04
  positive emotions from this journey and feel that that
• 29:09
  sensation there in that location isn't temporary.
• 29:15
  You've just reawakened it. It's always there, you only have
• 29:18
  to look. I want you to see as you fully
• 29:28
  commit to that third future, the other two pathways disappear.
• 29:33
  There is only one future now, a future of passion, impact and
• 29:42
  fulfilment. And why would you want anything
• 29:46
  else? And feel.
• 29:50
  Like you're already stepping on that path, that new path, the
• 29:53
  only path as you start to return your attention to the present.
• 30:01
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 30:06
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 30:08
  wiggle your toes. Connect fully with the here and
• 30:10
  now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 30:16
  You will awaken feeling invigorated, enthusiastic,
• 30:25
  determined to live this purposeful life.
• 30:31
