  issues. Brought to you by the

  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.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's Adam here and in this episode of the.
• 0:43
  Hypnotist, you're. Going to be listening to a short
• 0:46
  hypnosis session created at the end of a client session where I
• 0:51
  was working with a client that. Was addicted to a.
• 0:54
  Particular substance. I'm not going to name what the
• 0:56
  substance was because I think this recording would.
• 1:01
  Be useful. For anyone.
• 1:03
  But wants. To make a different decision in
• 1:07
  a social situation than maybe they would.
• 1:11
  If they. Didn't mentally prepare how they
• 1:14
  wanted to be. So it.
• 1:15
  Could be something like alcohol, it could be cigarettes, it could
• 1:19
  be weed, it could be cocaine, it could be.
• 1:21
  Any. Substance that an individual.
• 1:24
  Would. Normally use around certain
• 1:27
  people, but. They can.
• 1:29
  Frame that future event as. A battle that.
• 1:33
  If they are victorious in that battle, then the war is
• 1:37
  winnable. And I appreciate military
• 1:39
  metaphors aren't ideal for every situation, but it was relevant
• 1:43
  for. This particular.
• 1:44
  Client and. There was. 2 events in quite
• 1:49
  close proximity. That.
• 1:52
  It would be unheard. Of.
• 1:54
  For them not to do a particular recreational drug and therefore
• 2:01
  that's why. It would be such.
• 2:03
  A powerful statement of intent for them to do something
• 2:07
  different. So.
• 2:08
  If you want to change your future behavior and there's
• 2:12
  something coming up in your diary, then I think this very
• 2:15
  short hypnosis session could be useful.
• 2:17
  Obviously it was created for an individual.
• 2:19
  Some of the references might not really resonate with you, so if
• 2:21
  you like the idea of a. Bespoke.
• 2:24
  Session customized to you and your needs.
• 2:26
  There will be a link in the show notes where you can schedule
• 2:28
  that free consultation call. For now though, find a quiet,
• 2:32
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 2:34
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 3:09
  you breathe in, breathe in a resourceful feeling of calm and
• 3:14
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 3:22
  yourself to let go of any feelings of tension around your
• 3:27
  eyelids, in your jaw, around your neck or your shoulders.
• 3:32
  Just feel that tension leaving your body in your outward
• 3:36
  breath. And as you breathe in, breathe
• 3:41
  in a deeper, longer feeling of resourceful relaxation.
• 3:47
  And as you exhale, either allow your eyelids to close, or if
• 3:55
  they're already closed, just allow them to feel even more
• 3:59
  relaxed, enabling you to focus more on the sound of my voice.
• 4:08
  Notice your breathing. Start to slow down, breathing in
• 4:14
  for longer, exhaling slow, long outward breath as you feel that
• 4:24
  you're drifting into a place where it becomes easier to
• 4:30
  imagine a future that you do want.
• 4:37
  I want you to get a sense that sometimes changing something
• 4:43
  forever feels like a monumental task.
• 4:50
  But what if the way you change something forever is just
• 4:55
  winning two or three significant victories?
• 5:04
  Things in your life that could go one way, but when they go a
• 5:07
  different way feels like a victory?
• 5:12
  And what if one victory leads to another victory, and before long
• 5:21
  it feels like you have so much more choice?
• 5:28
  I want you to get a sense that when the why is strong enough,
• 5:37
  the how becomes secondary. When something is so important,
• 5:46
  you'll always find a way. I want you to create an image in
• 5:54
  your mind of those people that are most important to you.
• 6:04
  Picture their faces, feel that, love that connection with those,
• 6:13
  and get a sense that these people are more important than
• 6:19
  anything else. If you had to choose between one
• 6:26
  thing and them, they would win every time and just entertain a
• 6:36
  thought. Not because it's real, just
• 6:39
  because it's useful. But if the next time you were to
• 6:44
  do one thing, you would lose the people you love the most, get a
• 6:51
  sense of how easy it would be to not do that thing.
• 7:02
  I want you to recall a recent victory, a time when you could
• 7:07
  have done something but made the decision not to.
• 7:12
  Maybe that was last night or maybe a different time, but
• 7:16
  recall that victory as you feel it's easier to be victorious
• 7:25
  when you're coming off the back of a previous victory.
• 7:33
  And I want you to think of something in your future.
• 7:39
  Maybe it's tonight or in the very near future, and I want you
• 7:45
  to treat this not as a challenge, but as an
• 7:51
  opportunity. An opportunity to win a
• 7:56
  significant battle. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 8:04
  a version of you like you're watching someone else handle
• 8:09
  that occasion, in the way that would represent you winning a
• 8:15
  battle in a way that would mean you're victorious.
• 8:22
  An epic statement of intent. Maybe you can see yourself
• 8:29
  getting ready for the evening, messaging certain people in
• 8:34
  advance to manage expectations. Maybe see yourself arriving
• 8:39
  somewhere. Maybe see yourself enjoying food
• 8:44
  or something else and notice that you're drinking any alcohol
• 8:49
  slower. See how much water you're
• 8:57
  drinking, see that you're enjoying yourself.
• 9:03
  But there is an element of vigilance, responsibility,
• 9:12
  confidence. And I want you to see that
• 9:15
  version of you navigating situations that in the past
• 9:21
  would have gone a different way. But in this future, they go
• 9:26
  exactly the way you would want them to see yourself,
• 9:33
  communicating clearly, confidently what you're willing
• 9:40
  to do and not willing to do, with a very clear reason for it.
• 9:44
  And perhaps later on there is an invitation to join people
• 9:55
  somewhere else and maybe see yourself politely declining yet
• 10:03
  another statement of intent, a statement that you're taking
• 10:13
  your life in a different direction, a different
• 10:21
  trajectory. And when you've seen that
• 10:30
  evening go the way you would want it to, just rewind it to
• 10:36
  before the evening started and then step into that version of
• 10:39
  you feel like you're experiencing it from a first
• 10:44
  person perspective. Fearless sense of confidence,
• 10:56
  relaxation. This feels like an opportunity
• 11:05
  to take control of something that has been haunting you,
• 11:11
  holding you for a while. And maybe you.
• 11:15
  Imagine communicating with people in advance.
• 11:23
  Imagine being offered something and politely, confidently
• 11:29
  declining because of a clear reason, making a choice to spend
• 11:36
  time with one person rather than others.
• 11:44
  And as the evening comes to an end, feel that this has been an
• 11:50
  epic victory, a statement of intent.
• 11:57
  You've won. And then imagine going forwards
• 12:02
  in time to whatever the next challenge would be, and imagine
• 12:11
  where you would be and see yourself handling that situation
• 12:16
  the way you would want to and notice it's easier coming off a
• 12:22
  big victory. See yourself clearly,
• 12:28
  confidently communicating, maybe drinking less alcohol but not
• 12:38
  having a worse experience. See yourself enjoying it more
• 12:42
  because there's a feeling of being in control, enjoying the
• 12:46
  food, enjoying the conversations, enjoying the
• 12:51
  connection with other people without the need for anything
• 12:55
  else. See it going exactly as you
• 13:01
  would want it to. And with certain people, the
• 13:05
  more tenacious or the more influence they try and exert,
• 13:11
  the more it makes you more adamant, more determined to be
• 13:19
  the version of you you want to be.
• 13:24
  See yourself having a great evening, a nine out of 10, a 10
• 13:30
  out of 10 evening without the need for anything else.
• 13:38
  I want you to get a sense that it's happening the way you would
• 13:42
  want it to happen. See yourself like someone else
• 13:46
  and feeling a sense of respect, admiration for that version of
• 13:51
  you handling it in that way, and then rewind it.
• 13:55
  Jump into that version of you feel that you're experiencing it
• 14:00
  in advance from a first person perspective.
• 14:03
  You're in your own body, enjoying the evening and not
• 14:08
  needing anything else that could risk risk the future that you're
• 14:17
  steering your life towards. Feel you're getting the upside
• 14:23
  without the downside. Feel a sense of pride in your
• 14:27
  discernment that you're prioritizing things that you
• 14:34
  value the most. And just get a sense of feeling
• 14:39
  proud of yourself. As you imagine experiencing
• 14:49
  these futures in advance, feel a sense of victory.
• 14:53
  Feel a sense that if you can handle these situations, you
• 14:58
  could handle many more similar situations.
• 15:02
  That it feels like to change your life is like winning the
• 15:06
  war, and to win the war, all it takes is to feel like you can
• 15:12
  win a few battles in a row and then everything changes.
• 15:23
  I want you to feel like you're returning to the here and now,
• 15:26
  the present, but with the sense that you've got this, you can
• 15:30
  handle this. You are prioritizing what is
• 15:35
  most important to you, increasing the quality of your
• 15:40
  life and losing very little. So take a deep breath in through
• 15:45
  your nose, bend out through your nose, just wiggle your fingers
• 15:51
  and wiggle your toes. Connect fully into the here and
• 15:53
  now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
• 16:00
  Starting to count 123, waking up 456, more alert 7-8.
• 16:11
  Open your eyes. Open your eyes 9:10.
• 16:15
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
• 16:18
  Wide awake. Thank you for listening to The
