Hypnosis to Release Emotions of the Past and Awaken Raw Authenticity · The Hypnotist

• 0:01
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session
• 0:05
  that you're just about to listen to, you're going to be listening
• 0:07
  to a session all about releasing heavy emotional baggage, but
• 0:14
  also awakening a real sense of authenticity.
• 0:18
  And I was working with a client that had found themselves in a
• 0:23
  high paying but very toxic work environment.
• 0:27
  And they were kind of torn because part of them really
• 0:31
  liked the status and feeling of value that they were getting
• 0:37
  from the role. But equally, it was quite a
• 0:40
  toxic, gossipy kind of environment that wasn't
• 0:44
  conducive to them feeling good about themselves.
• 0:49
  And they were using alcohol to cope with these pretty heavy
• 0:54
  emotions that they were holding onto.
• 0:56
  And this particular client grew up in the UK in a school system
• 1:03
  where they felt out of place and because of that.
• 1:07
  They had this. Desperate desire to.
• 1:10
  Be. Accepted.
• 1:11
  And to fit in, even if that meant as a teenager being
• 1:16
  someone a little different from who they really were, they had
• 1:21
  learned to build a facade, put on a bit of a mask and to do
• 1:27
  certain things that would give them this feeling of fitting in,
• 1:33
  even if they weren't being 100% authentic.
• 1:37
  And because they learnt that in their childhood, that was them
• 1:41
  playing out. In this.
• 1:43
  Toxic work environment. So this session that you're just
• 1:47
  about to listen to? Is.
• 1:49
  Very metaphorical. It's metaphorical because the
• 1:54
  past was multifaceted. There was the work environment,
• 1:58
  there was the childhood. So it has this metaphor of a
• 2:02
  deep dark forest. And that represents their past
• 2:07
  and. Also what it meant for them to
• 2:10
  be accumulating emotional baggage.
• 2:13
  And there's actually a bag and rocks metaphor in this
• 2:17
  particular hypnosis session. But then there's a, an act, so
• 2:22
  acceptance and commitment therapy metaphor of releasing
• 2:26
  and letting go of those heavy emotions and also some inner
• 2:31
  child work. And, you know, the idea that we
• 2:34
  actually have an inner child inside of us is just a metaphor,
• 2:37
  but it can be quite a powerful metaphor.
• 2:39
  Because a lot. Of these coping strategies or
• 2:42
  core beliefs were created in our childhood, so therefore, if we
• 2:47
  reconnect. With that part.
• 2:49
  That is either has the resources that we want or was at a time
• 2:55
  when the new coping strategies hadn't been implemented yet.
• 2:59
  That can be really, really beneficial.
• 3:01
  And then there's something that as hypnotists, we call future
• 3:04
  pacing. And the future pacing is them
• 3:07
  having a future where they are more authentic.
• 3:11
  They're connected with the real version of themself.
• 3:15
  And having let go of that emotional baggage, they get to
• 3:18
  see that that version of them has a much more enjoyable,
• 3:24
  fulfilling future where they don't need to numb pain because
• 3:28
  they're not feeling their numbness.
• 3:30
  They can really be authentic. There's a lot going on in this
• 3:35
  session, but I think if you can relate to working in a toxic
• 3:39
  work environment or maybe a toxic relationship, maybe if you
• 3:42
  feel that you have to be someone that you're not in order to
• 3:45
  survive, or perhaps maybe you're drinking more alcohol than you
• 3:49
  would like. If any of those three things are
• 3:52
  in place, then I think you'll benefit from this session.
• 3:56
  Of course, it was created for an individual.
• 3:59
  Some of the suggestions aren't going to relate to you because
• 4:02
  they were created for the client that I was working with.
• 4:05
  So if you do like the idea of working with me directly, there
• 4:09
  will be a link somewhere in the description where you can
• 4:12
  schedule a completely free consultation call to explore
• 4:16
  working with me. For now though, you might get
• 4:19
  some value from this session, so find a quiet, comfortable place
• 4:24
  where you won't be. Disturbed, relax and.
• 4:27
  Enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
• 4:50
  breathe in, breathe in and resourceful feeling of calm and
• 4:56
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 5:03
  your eyelids to feel so relaxed and so heavy.
• 5:11
  And with your eyes closed, notice how much more of your
• 5:17
  focus and attention is on the sound of my voice and the words
• 5:27
  and meanings. Breathing in that relaxation and
• 5:35
  releasing that tension as you feel that your body is drifting
• 5:42
  deeper and deeper. Relaxed.
• 5:47
  That's it. Scan your body for any clues of
• 5:53
  tension. Maybe the tiny muscles in your
• 6:00
  forehead or around your jaw. Just imagine that tension
• 6:08
  melting away as you breathe in that relaxation and release.
• 6:19
  Not just the tension, but any stress and worries as you feel
• 6:25
  that you've been holding onto a lot.
• 6:31
  A lot of emotional weight, emotional baggage.
• 6:36
  Things have taken their toll and it's now time to realize you
• 6:47
  don't need to hold on to everything.
• 6:53
  Certain beliefs and feelings belong in your past, not in your
• 7:02
  present. So breathe in that relaxation.
• 7:09
  And as you exhale, you realize that the deeper you breathe, the
• 7:15
  more relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
• 7:23
  the deeper you breathe. And as your physical body
• 7:28
  relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 7:42
  Feel your body going deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 7:50
  And I wonder if you can think of a forest, maybe a forest nearby
• 8:02
  or perhaps a forest from your childhood or different place in
• 8:09
  the world that you experienced that forest.
• 8:16
  I want you to get a sense that when you were a child, sometimes
• 8:23
  you were told stories and quite often the beginning of a story
• 8:31
  sounds very similar. Because there was a time not so
• 8:39
  long ago where you walked along and winding path and imagine
• 8:49
  that path was through a forest that seemed to grow darker with
• 8:55
  every step. Imagine that forest full of
• 9:01
  whispers, not your voice, the voices of others, sometimes
• 9:11
  judgmental, gossipy, harsh or critical.
• 9:21
  And as you walk through the forest, sometimes you will see
• 9:24
  faces or hear sounds of some of those words.
• 9:32
  With every unjust word, with every glance that said not
• 9:38
  enough, not accepted. Just imagine picking up a stone
• 9:52
  and placing it in a backpack that feels heavy around your
• 9:59
  shoulders and on your back, and every time you didn't fit in,
• 10:06
  weren't accepted, felt that you had to be someone that wasn't
• 10:11
  quite you, more stones ended up in that backpack.
• 10:19
  So of course that backpack grew heavier, not with your failures,
• 10:29
  but with their projections. But you are strong and you are
• 10:36
  focused and you kept walking. You endured, and maybe you found
• 10:46
  a way to be accepted and to fit in with every step.
• 10:57
  You learned how to survive in a world that asked you to put on a
• 11:05
  facade or to wear a mask. But imagine that deep dark
• 11:13
  forest opens up and you see a clearing, a sacred space.
• 11:25
  And here in the heart of this deep dark forest, there is now
• 11:33
  sunlight and a clearing. And here in the stillness, you
• 11:41
  notice that this weight that you're carrying and have carried
• 11:45
  for many years now isn't yours to carry anymore.
• 11:58
  But over time, this pack back filled with stones and rocks.
• 12:04
  And I want you to imagine now slowly removing that backpack,
• 12:12
  placing it down in front of you there in the clearing, opening
• 12:18
  the bag and tipping or taking out those heavy stones.
• 12:28
  One for every unfair moment, One for every time you were ignored
• 12:36
  or silenced. One for every, every time that
• 12:44
  you had to self medicate in whichever way helped you.
• 12:52
  Because when people can't be their true self, it creates
• 12:57
  sometimes emotional pain that is numbed.
• 13:06
  That's it. Deeper and deeper.
• 13:08
  Relax now. And now, as you place those
• 13:12
  stones on the ground, talk to the stones.
• 13:18
  Tell them that you release them, that they are not yours, they no
• 13:25
  longer belong to you. The clearing accepts those
• 13:33
  stones. And imagine the stones transform
• 13:38
  within your imagination to beautiful wildflowers.
• 13:44
  See the vibrant colours that these heavy, awkward,
• 13:51
  uncomfortable stones have evolved and morphed into
• 13:57
  something beautiful and I want you to get a sand.
• 14:02
  Then any pain that you were holding onto or are holding onto
• 14:13
  is also evolving into something beautiful.
• 14:21
  And there in the clearing, in that a quiet moment of seeing
• 14:26
  stones turn into flowers, imagine noticing someone nearby,
• 14:35
  perhaps a child you recognise. This child, This child has
• 14:45
  qualities that remind yourself of you when you were a child.
• 14:53
  And I want you to imagine seeing this child barefoot, looking
• 14:59
  directly at you with curious and fascinated eyes.
• 15:09
  Imagine seeing yourself as a child at a time where that
• 15:17
  version of you didn't feel that need to fit in, didn't have to
• 15:25
  play those games, didn't have to earn the acceptance or approval
• 15:33
  of others. See that version of you before
• 15:38
  the masks, before the pressure, before the need to earn your
• 15:45
  worth, to see them on that rock barefoot, and imagine walking up
• 15:56
  to them. Tell them that you see them, you
• 16:02
  remember them, and imagine feeling a sense of cathartic
• 16:09
  release as you tell them that you're sorry because this
• 16:16
  version of you is the most authentic, real version of you.
• 16:25
  No mask, no facade. You've been showing up as the
• 16:32
  teenager wearing the mask, but leaving no place for the child
• 16:39
  that could just be themselves entirely.
• 16:48
  To give that apology an authentic, real apology.
• 16:55
  This part of you should never have been hidden, should have
• 17:00
  been nurtured and encouraged. And now is the time to do that
• 17:07
  as you tell this child that you're ready now to bring, to
• 17:16
  bring them on the journey you're now on.
• 17:21
  And this child all along just wanted your acceptance, your
• 17:26
  love. So imagine hugging that child,
• 17:31
  telling them they are accepted, they are loved.
• 17:36
  See them smile. Not a fake smile.
• 17:42
  The kind of smile that would light up a room.
• 17:46
  A real, authentic smile. Because all they ever wanted was
• 17:54
  to feel safe being exactly who they are.
• 18:03
  And as the child smiles, something deep inside you is
• 18:08
  smiling too. So stand there in that clearing
• 18:14
  now, lighter, freer. And I want you to imagine, given
• 18:22
  that you're in the middle of a deep, dark forest, you see a new
• 18:29
  pathway. Not the pathway you found this
• 18:34
  clearing, but a pathway that leads you through the forest.
• 18:42
  And we can call that place your future.
• 18:47
  But this is a glowing path that even if it's deep and dark in
• 18:54
  the forest, your way is clear. This is a path to the ideal
• 19:05
  future for you, the future of stimulation, authenticity, but
• 19:18
  also passion and enthusiasm. You get to enjoy your life being
• 19:27
  exactly as you are. This is the path that your soul
• 19:35
  remembers. And on this path, you don't need
• 19:42
  anything to numb emotions, because on this path you can
• 19:49
  process them, feel them, lean into them, and learn from them.
• 19:58
  And every now and then those heavy emotions come up and you
• 20:01
  can just let them pass like waves returning back to the sea.
• 20:12
  But you're not on this path alone.
• 20:16
  You're holding the hand of that small child.
• 20:22
  You're on this path together. And while you're walking on that
• 20:28
  path, you can remember a belief, a belief about that if if things
• 20:37
  are going well, something must go wrong.
• 20:44
  Not every area of your life can be perfect, but I want you to
• 20:51
  entertain a much better idea. Feel that old pathway is now
• 21:01
  behind you. And that's where that belief is.
• 21:06
  The pathway in front of you gives you a new way of thinking
• 21:15
  that when 1 area of your life improves, everything else
• 21:22
  expands. And you know that to be true
• 21:28
  because you can recall a day in your past where an amazing thing
• 21:34
  happened. And because that amazing thing
• 21:38
  happened, you felt happy, you were smiling more, there was a
• 21:44
  spring in your stab, and so many other good things happened that
• 21:49
  same day because of the first good thing.
• 21:58
  Deep down you know then you can have and do deserve the life
• 22:04
  that you want. Because now you know you deserve
• 22:11
  joy, you deserve peace. You deserve success that doesn't
• 22:20
  cost you doesn't cost you from the sense of.
• 22:26
  You pretending to be. Someone you're not.
• 22:32
  From this day forward, you carry wisdom, not wounds.
• 22:40
  You give yourself permission to express, not suppress, and you
• 22:48
  allow emotions to pass without needing to escape them.
• 22:55
  You can feel grounded in self acceptance when you can act from
• 23:01
  courage, not fear. You are freer than you ever
• 23:08
  thought, free to be discerning as to what comes next.
• 23:17
  It's down to you to pursue your. Path.
• 23:21
  With clarity and confidence because you are safe to be fully
• 23:30
  authentically you where no facade is required.
• 23:40
  And as you walk down this new. Path.
• 23:42
  The glowing path. You can feel the lightness in
• 23:46
  your body, the clarity in your mind, and the calm certainty
• 23:53
  that your best life isn't something you chase.
• 23:58
  It's something you align with and maybe ideas are coming to
• 24:07
  you as to what this ideal life includes.
• 24:13
  Kind of work you're doing, how you feel, what you experience
• 24:25
  and notice. So much more balance and
• 24:27
  acceptance. So much more joy.
• 24:38
  I want you to imagine you're coming to the end of that path
• 24:41
  and leaving the deep dark forest that we can call your past to a
• 24:47
  bright open Meadow, still holding the hand of that young
• 24:59
  child that's been on this journey with you, with a deep
• 25:04
  feeling of optimism that life is about to get so much better.
• 25:18
  Want you to hug that child one more time, tell them they are
• 25:22
  accepted and loved exactly as they are and see them joyfully
• 25:28
  skip away into the Meadow and it's now time for you to return
• 25:36
  back to the here and the now. So take a deep breath in through
• 25:42
  your nose and out through your nose.
• 25:48
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes as you connect
• 25:52
  and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count from 1:00
• 25:57
  to 10:00 to awaken you. You will awaken fully.
• 26:07
  All sensations returning. To your arms and legs feeling
• 26:10
  fully present, starting to count. 123 waking up. 456 more
• 26:20
  alert. 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 26:23
  Open your eyes 910 Wide awake. Wide awake.
• 26:29
  Wide awake.
