• 0:41
  Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
• 0:44
  Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to an addiction
• 0:47
  hypnosis session and it really gets to this point known of the
• 0:52
  point of threshold. And the point of threshold is.
• 0:55
  Where a should. Becomes a must or yeah, you
• 1:02
  know, I I really do want to do that thing becomes I'm going to
• 1:06
  do that thing and it. And it sounds like a subtle
• 1:10
  difference but most people in their life have experienced.
• 1:15
  They've they. Tried to do something many, many
• 1:16
  times, but then they tried it in a different way because
• 1:19
  something happened and it and that difficult thing became
• 1:23
  easy. And that's normally because they
• 1:26
  passed the point of threshold. And there is a proverb that
• 1:32
  represents this and it's the proverb of the straw that breaks
• 1:35
  the camel's back. So if you think of a camel in a
• 1:38
  carrying in a barrels of of kind of hay and straw in its back,
• 1:43
  you would think, well, if you kept adding like one extra, you
• 1:48
  know, kind of strand of straw, nothing happens.
• 1:51
  It can handle it, but eventually it would get so heavy that just
• 1:55
  one tiny bit of straw would break the camel's back.
• 1:59
  Now that's a, that's a horrible metaphor in many ways, but it,
• 2:03
  it's become a, a proverb, a saying of, you know, something
• 2:08
  can build up and then that tiny thing becomes a big thing
• 2:12
  because of everything that's come before it.
• 2:14
  So in many ways, this hypnosis session is about this.
• 2:18
  I was working with the client. Her drug was cocaine.
• 2:22
  And it was this element of what if she's already made so much
• 2:26
  progress and all it now needs is that little bit at the tipping
• 2:31
  point to kind of get it? Over the.
• 2:33
  Edge and then fully commit to being a non user and thinking
• 2:38
  about, you know, what kind of new life that gets them.
• 2:42
  And I would encourage anyone with an addiction, anyone with
• 2:46
  someone that wants to make a change is kind of think well,
• 2:49
  instead of why, why should I change?
• 2:52
  You can actually get way more leverage by thinking what
• 2:56
  happens if I never change? And and it it can take people to
• 3:00
  a dark place, like even something you know, like smoking
• 3:04
  or eating too much sugar. Well, never quitting smoking or
• 3:09
  never becoming a non-smoker could lead to lung cancer in
• 3:13
  your 60s, you know, dying in your 70s, you know, not reducing
• 3:19
  sugar could lead to type 2 diabetes and an amputated leg at
• 3:24
  some point in your future or or some kind of a heart attack.
• 3:27
  You get way more leverage from that.
• 3:29
  But then you also need not just the stick, but the carrot.
• 3:34
  What's life like, you know, when I make this change?
• 3:37
  And quite often, you know, with with addictions like cocaine,
• 3:40
  it's quite an expensive thing. So it's like, well, more
• 3:43
  freedom, more opportunity, more travel, more experiences, more
• 3:47
  money to do the things that they want to do, less dependency.
• 3:52
  And freedom is such a powerful word when used with addictions
• 3:55
  because people do become a slave to their addiction.
• 3:59
  They have to keep feeding it. And once they're free of it,
• 4:03
  it's like they've got their freedom back.
• 4:04
  So you can use things like being a prisoner, being a slave,
• 4:08
  because metaphorically that's kind of what's happening.
• 4:10
  And and feeling free and liberated can feel so good that
• 4:14
  every time you see someone else using it reminds you that that
• 4:18
  was you and you're not in that place.
• 4:20
  That would be like someone that spent ten years in jail visiting
• 4:24
  someone else in jail and thinking, right, yeah, this is a
• 4:27
  horrible place and I'm not there anymore.
• 4:30
  So there was different things going on in this session, but at
• 4:33
  its core it is about the point of threshold.
• 4:38
  If you are curious to have a bespoke session, work with me
• 4:41
  directly before we just work together.
• 4:43
  Typically I have a free consultation call first just to
• 4:45
  see if it even makes sense to do that, and you can schedule that
• 4:49
  by clicking the link in the show notes and and scheduling that at
• 4:53
  a time that works for you and me.
• 4:56
  But for now, you might benefit from this session even though
• 4:58
  it's created for someone else. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 5:01
  place where you won't be disturbed.
• 5:02
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 5:50
  you breathe in, just imagine breathing in a wonderful feeling
• 5:58
  of calm and relaxation. Breathing in that relaxation and
• 6:09
  on the outward breath, allowing any feelings of tension, any
• 6:16
  feelings of guilt to feel like it's leaving your body in your
• 6:23
  outward breath. And when you breathe in, breathe
• 6:35
  in deeper than you normally would.
• 6:39
  And as you exhale, allow that outward breath to breathe out
• 6:49
  for longer, allowing any of those emotions to feel that
• 6:56
  they're leaving your body. Any shame, any guilt, any
• 7:03
  emotional pain, just allow it to leave your body.
• 7:07
  But when you breathe in, imagine breathing in a wonderful feeling
• 7:13
  of resourcefulness, a feeling of inner strength, a feeling that
• 7:22
  yes, you can. So breathe in that strength and
• 7:29
  exhale that echo of heavy emotions of your past, feeling
• 7:38
  more and more relaxed with each and every breath.
• 7:48
  That's it. And as you breathe in and
• 7:52
  breathe out, just allow your muscles to relax, your breath,
• 7:58
  the slow and your awareness begins to drift inward.
• 8:10
  The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, and as your
• 8:13
  body relaxes, your imagination awakens, and I wonder if you
• 8:20
  could imagine yourself walking a long, long, dusty path through a
• 8:27
  desert. And I want you to imagine you've
• 8:32
  been carrying a load on your back.
• 8:36
  Heavy, awkward, and burdensome. You know all of these heavy
• 8:44
  emotions you've been carrying for a while now, and you didn't
• 8:49
  always carry in, but over time one thing got added and then
• 8:56
  another until it just became a part of you.
• 9:06
  Just like a camel walking through endless dunes, burdened
• 9:11
  by weight, it never questioned until one day something shifts.
• 9:23
  A tiny weight, the smallest straw.
• 9:30
  And it's not the weight of that one thing, it's the weight of
• 9:35
  everything before it. That one day where the final
• 9:41
  straw breaks the illusion and something inside says enough.
• 9:52
  And I wonder now if this moment, this one here, is your straw.
• 10:00
  That moment with a part of you that numbs and copes and hides
• 10:08
  faces. The part of you that loves,
• 10:11
  heals and rises if the part of you that cares overcomes the
• 10:21
  part of you that numbs. So let that moment, the healer,
• 10:30
  the helper, the force for good begin to grow now, like a seed
• 10:38
  cracking open deep within the soil of your being is the truth.
• 10:46
  You already know you don't need more cocaine to feel good,
• 10:53
  because you already have evidence, real experiences of
• 11:00
  feeling better without it. You've already proved you can,
• 11:13
  and what if Now it's time to ask yourself, who would you become
• 11:25
  if you stopped looking for escape and started living?
• 11:29
  Your truth is now that moment maybe you can feel a shift begin
• 11:40
  inside you, like slipping off an old worn out coat.
• 11:50
  Holding on to something that doesn't serve you would be like
• 11:56
  wearing an old T-shirt that doesn't fit anymore.
• 12:01
  Just because you've had it for so long doesn't mean you need to
• 12:04
  continue. And I wonder if the identity of
• 12:10
  the user, the person that numbs, the person just barely getting
• 12:18
  through, what if that isn't you anymore?
• 12:25
  What if that's just an echo of who you were once, and you're
• 12:29
  not even that person anymore? I want you to feel like you are
• 12:37
  stepping into the threshold between who you were and who you
• 12:43
  are now, ready to become. And let's time travel now.
• 12:52
  Drift forward a year from now, where you're standing in a
• 12:58
  future version of yourself. That version of you is thriving.
• 13:06
  That version of you feels fulfilled, and you can feel it
• 13:12
  in your posture, in your breath, in your skin.
• 13:19
  This version of you has been clean for a year.
• 13:23
  And not just clean, but free, liberated from a prison of self
• 13:29
  destruction. Breathe in.
• 13:32
  And breathe out in that future version of you, where your mind
• 13:36
  is sharp, your body feels alive, and your soul feels peaceful.
• 13:48
  And in this version of you, you're using the money you used
• 13:53
  to spend on Coke to invest in what truly matters.
• 13:59
  Those things that nourish you, uplift you.
• 14:04
  New experiences, passions, friendships, real joy.
• 14:16
  Imagine in this future you're helping others.
• 14:19
  Now feel how fulfilled it feels to make a difference in other
• 14:29
  people's lives. Your life must have value
• 14:36
  because it's impacting other people.
• 14:43
  I want you to feel then, when you're busy making a difference
• 14:47
  to other people, when you're being kind to yourself, when
• 14:56
  you're enjoying enriching experiences.
• 15:00
  There is no loneliness. There is no void, no need to
• 15:06
  numb. And what if it all changed with
• 15:15
  a moment? Just a single decision.
• 15:22
  Not a huge dramatic thing. Just a quiet, powerful yes.
• 15:31
  A yes to self love, a yes to self respect, a yes to freedom.
• 15:41
  Think back to the moment of that decision and let that decision
• 15:47
  settle deep within you, in your gut, in your bones now, like a
• 15:57
  sudden turning point in a movie where everything after is
• 16:02
  different because the main character finally became their
• 16:09
  truth. You've not been the real you.
• 16:17
  The real you takes pride, embraces self-care and self love
• 16:28
  puts the needs of other people first.
• 16:33
  I want you to feel that you are activating the powerful you, and
• 16:41
  the powerful you has the power to say no to all of those things
• 16:48
  that don't serve you, and to say yes to a single decision that
• 16:54
  changes your life. You've already began to change.
• 17:02
  You're already becoming the person you were always meant to
• 17:08
  be. And what if someone, somewhere
• 17:15
  is looking down on you, wanting you to make this decision, not
• 17:24
  for them, but for you They wanted, you wanted.
• 17:32
  And what if now is that time a powerful version of you that
• 17:40
  could wash away anything that could get in the way of you
• 17:47
  being that powerful presence? And that old part of you, the
• 17:57
  one that used coke? What if that's just fading now,
• 18:03
  like smoke in the wind, dissolving until it's gone?
• 18:11
  You are safe, you are strong, and you are free.
• 18:20
  And anytime you feel tempted, you'll remember this moment,
• 18:26
  this powerful moment, this feeling, this knowing.
• 18:34
  What if you've already crossed the threshold?
• 18:38
  What if you are already this powerful new you?
• 18:44
  What if there's no going back because you don't want to go
• 18:48
  back? Because what lies ahead is a
• 18:54
  life of depth, purpose, joy, peace, but most of all
• 19:05
  fulfilment? What if fulfilment is the
• 19:09
  opposite of a void? And what if that fulfilment
• 19:15
  comes from making a difference to other people?
• 19:22
  Breathe in a powerful new identity now.
• 19:30
  Feel. Feel that you're awakening the
• 19:34
  real you, the genuine you, the true you.
• 19:39
  And when that new version of you awakens, let me know by nodding
• 19:47
  your head. That's it.
• 19:50
  And I want you to think what that powerful version of you can
• 19:55
  do. Powerful version of you could
• 20:02
  delete and block a number. The powerful version of you
• 20:09
  wouldn't worry about a small amount of money.
• 20:14
  Powerful version of You could wash residues of your past all
• 20:22
  the way down the sink and feel good while doing it.
• 20:28
  The powerful version of you will know that you could wake up
• 20:32
  tomorrow with the strength to manage anything to move your
• 20:41
  life forward. Just spend a moment to think of
• 20:49
  the next few days. How would that powerful version
• 20:54
  of you handle tomorrow when you know exactly what you would do
• 21:01
  and feel that you have the strength to do it?
• 21:05
  Let me know about nodding your head.
• 21:10
  That's it. Your mind is primed, the real
• 21:17
  you has awakened. Everything changes.
• 21:22
  Now you can and will be this powerful version of you with the
• 21:32
  power to choose your life, not to be a victim of it.
• 21:42
  So imagine being back there in the desert.
• 21:47
  I. Want you to see a camel without
• 21:51
  any bales of hay on its back? See that camel, powerful,
• 21:58
  strong, no longer carrying all the baggage of its past.
• 22:06
  See the camel, resourceful and strong, knowing it could spend
• 22:12
  as long as it needs to in the desert until it finds an Oasis.
• 22:19
  Feel that you have the strength to carry your journey just as
• 22:27
  long until you feel. That you.
• 22:35
  Can resist any temptation and make choices and decisions that
• 22:41
  align with you. Being kind to yourself, caring
• 22:47
  for yourself, loving to yourself.
• 22:54
  It is you that needs your attention now, so you will use
• 22:59
  all of that power to nurture and encourage you.
• 23:07
  It all starts with you and they say you can't pour from an empty
• 23:14
  cup if you're going to impact the world.
• 23:19
  It starts with you. And when your cup is
• 23:23
  overflowing, you will have more than enough for other people.
• 23:30
  You will prioritize your health, your well-being.
• 23:36
  You will flood your body with water, nutrition, you will spoil
• 23:44
  yourself with love until you feel powerful again.
• 23:51
  And with that power, you will steer your life in wonderful,
• 23:57
  empowering directions. It's time to leave the desert
• 24:01
  now. Did you realize you've been
• 24:05
  travelling in a desert for many years now?
• 24:10
  But it's time to return to a place of abundance, place of
• 24:17
  connection. And that connection starts with
• 24:20
  you. So take a deep breath in, in
• 24:26
  through your nose and out through your nose.
• 24:29
  Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your.
• 24:31
  Toes. Start to connect and calibrate
• 24:34
  with the here and the now as very soon I count from 1:00 to
• 24:38
  10:00 to awaken you and you will awaken feeling resourceful,
• 24:45
  feeling connected and feeling powerful that you have passed
• 24:51
  the threshold and you will awaken in this powerful, strong,
• 25:00
  reawakened version of you. Starting to count 123 Waking up
