Transcript
- 0:05Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
- 0:09access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
- 0:12genuine. Issues.
- 0:13Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
- 0:16celebrities CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
- 0:21recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
- 0:24famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
- 0:31enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
- 0:38Hi, it's Adam here. And in this hypnosis session
- 0:41you're going to be listening to a recording all about
- 0:44narcissistic abuse recovery. And I was working with a client
- 0:48that had been in a relationship. It had come to an end and it had
- 0:51dawned on her that her ex partner was a narcissist and had
- 0:57been chiseling away and eroding their sense of self worth, their
- 1:02self-confidence and their ability to believe that they had
- 1:05any value. This hypnosis session uses a
- 1:09metaphor of a flower and if you imagine a flower that obviously
- 1:15needs sunshine and rain water to to thrive, but imagine if it was
- 1:20hidden away in a basement or in a dark place, deprived of water
- 1:24and deprived of sunlight. The flower normally, when it has
- 1:29what it needs, is thriving, but in the wrong environment it can
- 1:33actually find itself wilting and dehydrated and looking very low
- 1:38on energy. Now this works as a metaphor for
- 1:41two reasons. One, it takes out the idea that
- 1:45they themself are worthless, but more they are just having a
- 1:48natural reaction to their environment and their
- 1:50circumstances, but then also how quickly something can be
- 1:55nourished and replenished. So if you think of a wilted
- 1:58flower, give it a bit of water and some sunshine.
- 2:01Within hours it's looking healthy again, and within a week
- 2:04it's like it's back to normal. So that's helpful because a lot
- 2:08of people that feel very drained of energy and low self worth
- 2:13have this feeling of hopelessness that it's always
- 2:15going to be that way. And this helps to give it a
- 2:18temporary frame. The second part of the hypnosis
- 2:21session is to feel that the locus of control is not
- 2:24dependent on external factors, but intrinsic factors, that they
- 2:28themself can do the watering and the sunshine without needing
- 2:32anyone else to do that. And that was believing in
- 2:36themself and actually focus on their dream.
- 2:39And that would be the nourishment and the
- 2:40replenishment that they would need to revitalize that
- 2:43identity. So if you can relate to any of
- 2:45these things, I think you'll get some value from this session.
- 2:48Please be aware that it was created for a specific
- 2:51individual. Some of the suggestions would
- 2:53have fitted them like a glove and not be at all relevant for
- 2:56you because you're not them. In which case, disregard any
- 3:00suggestions that aren't quite right.
- 3:01Lean into the metaphors and the ones that are.
- 3:04But if you do like the idea of working with me directly, there
- 3:07will be a link in the description in the show notes
- 3:09where you can schedule a completely free consultation
- 3:11call to explore working with me. For now though, find a quiet,
- 3:15comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
- 3:17Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
- 4:12you breathe in, breathe in that feeling of calm relaxation.
- 4:20And as you exhale, feel that wonderful feeling.
- 4:28As you feel that you're releasing any stress, any
- 4:34tension, any anger, just feel it start to leave your body in your
- 4:40outward breath. And as you breathe in, I want
- 4:46you to imagine breathing in a color that represents
- 4:52nourishment. Maybe you could imagine bright
- 4:57yellow or orange sunshine. Imagine breathing in that
- 5:01nourishment, and as you exhale, release anything that feels like
- 5:09it's suppressed, pent up, or trapped.
- 5:16Allow your outward breath to be the release valve to enable you
- 5:23to feel a sense of ever increasing release.
- 5:30Breathing in that nourishing feeling that you need and
- 5:35exhaling any feeling of being trapped, any feeling of being
- 5:45worthless or of no value. Just imagine that leaving your
- 5:50body, escaping and therefore each breath takes you deeper and
- 5:58deeper, relaxed, feeling more and more replenished and
- 6:05nourished, and continuing to release anything unresourceful.
- 6:19That's right, deeper and deeper. Relax now.
- 6:33And I want you to imagine what it would be like if with every
- 6:37breath you took, you felt more and more comfortable.
- 6:45The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, and the more
- 6:49relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe and as your physical
- 6:54body relaxes. Your.
- 6:58Powerful imagination awakens, and I want you to allow that
- 7:06imagination to drift, and I want you to imagine it drifting to a
- 7:12place in nature, somewhere tropical, somewhere peaceful,
- 7:18and somewhere safe. Perhaps you could imagine being
- 7:26in a lush tropical garden, the outskirts of a forest or perhaps
- 7:38a quiet clearing. But imagine you're in a place
- 7:42where the air feels warm and there's a gentle fragrance of
- 7:47flowers being carried on the breeze.
- 7:55And as you wander through this place in your imagination, just
- 8:00imagine what it would feel like to notice the colours becoming
- 8:03more vivid, the greens deeper, petals of flowers becoming
- 8:11brighter, as though the world itself is inviting you to step
- 8:21into a more vibrant version of yourself.
- 8:29And somewhere in this tropical garden, forest or somewhere
- 8:32else, I want you to notice a particular flower, the bird of
- 8:43paradise. I want you to see that unique
- 8:48shape, the oranges, the greens, the large leaf.
- 8:59I want you to notice something, something about this flower.
- 9:08I want you to see something bold, beautiful, empowering
- 9:14about this flower. And as you look closer, you
- 9:19sense that this flower is in some way a reflection of you.
- 9:28I want you to get a feeling, a feeling that this bird of
- 9:34paradise didn't always look this.
- 9:38Way I want. You to imagine learning about
- 9:43the story of this plant, that for weeks or months it was
- 9:51inside perhaps a basement or a shed.
- 9:59And I want you to imagine that this bird of paradise for
- 10:02several weeks was deprived of sunshine and rainwater.
- 10:12I want you to imagine it, seeing it as it was.
- 10:16See it wilted, the colours drained, the leaves limp, maybe
- 10:25starting to go yellow or dry. See that wilted with its colors
- 10:35faded, its leaves heavy. And just get a sense that this
- 10:44this does not diminish the value of the flower.
- 10:47It's a reflection of the person that deprived it of sunshine and
- 10:53rainwater. The flower hasn't lost its
- 10:58value. It just isn't getting what it
- 11:02needs. And as you stare on this wilted,
- 11:11drained, hopeless looking flower, you can feel the truth
- 11:17in that metaphor. You can relate to feeling
- 11:23drained, low energy feeling. What's the point?
- 11:31As if your energy has been taken, your brilliance dimmed.
- 11:37That you've been trained to feel that you have no value.
- 11:43And logically, you know that's not true, in the same way that
- 11:50the bird of paradise would know it is capable of brilliance, but
- 11:57wouldn't feel that way when it's deprived of that sunshine and
- 12:00rainwater. And yet, even in that weakened
- 12:06state, that bird of paradise never stopped being what it
- 12:12truly was. It never stopped being a bird of
- 12:17paradise just because it was deprived of what it needed.
- 12:23Neither did you. Imagine taking a deep breath in
- 12:30now, and as you exhale, I want you to imagine the golden
- 12:40sunlight pouring down from your breath onto that wilted flower.
- 12:49Warm, healing, life giving. And I want you to realize that
- 12:54the sunshine is your self belief.
- 12:59It's still there and enough to share with this flower.
- 13:06And each time you believe in yourself, I want you to feel
- 13:10that you are feeding this flower within you.
- 13:18And now, as if from the earth itself, I want you to imagine
- 13:23rainwater nourishing the roots, clear, pure, replenishing.
- 13:32And you sense that this rainwater is your actions,
- 13:38Actions aligned with who you want to be.
- 13:44And each time you take a step towards your dreams, I want you
- 13:49to feel that you are watering your own soul with every breath,
- 13:59with your ability to trust in your own actions.
- 14:05That bird of paradise within you stands taller, petals brighter,
- 14:13colours more radiant. And I want you to feel this is
- 14:19also happening within you. Imagine how you would feel
- 14:25standing taller, breathing deeper, taking that trust in
- 14:30yourself and turning it into actions.
- 14:39I wonder how long it would take for a flower without sunshine
- 14:45and rainwater to get back to who they were before.
- 14:53Sometimes minutes, maybe hours, and certainly no more than a
- 14:57day. And there's a truth awakening
- 15:02within you. Now that your energy is yours, I
- 15:10want you to accept the belief that it cannot be taken unless
- 15:15you allow it to be taken. And it could be taken before
- 15:22because you didn't know what was happening.
- 15:25But forewarned is forearmed, you know now.
- 15:29And because you now understand how it was once drained, you
- 15:35also now know how to protect it. Like a flower with strong roots
- 15:46or a bird with powerful wings. I want you to feel what you
- 15:50would feel like to be unshakeable in your essence, to
- 15:57have the boundaries needed so that even if someone tries to
- 16:04take your energy, it becomes futile for them.
- 16:08And I want you to think of a recent time when someone tried
- 16:15to provoke you to lose your sense of calm and they couldn't,
- 16:22and arrive to the conclusion that if you can have that
- 16:28boundary, you can have other boundaries too.
- 16:33That it becomes just a variation of exactly the same skill to
- 16:40protect who you are at your core.
- 16:46And it might be stuff that aren't you, that you don't mind,
- 16:50but you're refusing to allow your energy, yourself, belief in
- 16:55yourself worth to be taken. Now I don't.
- 17:02Want you to think about your future, and not just any future,
- 17:08but a desirable future. And they'll be a part of you.
- 17:13Or perhaps someone else that says, what are the chances?
- 17:21But I want you to feel resolute, defiant, because the chances of
- 17:28success if you don't do anything are zero.
- 17:33And if you do do something, the odds become infinitely higher
- 17:39than doing nothing at all. But let's say, even if the odds
- 17:47do seem low, and even when others doubt, I want you to feel
- 17:54that self trust that you have deep inside.
- 17:58To trust that you are the one who will defy the odds.
- 18:04You are the one who will rise. I want you to imagine that
- 18:12future. Imagine yourself perhaps 234
- 18:18years from now, like a flower in bloom, succeeding, making it,
- 18:27but most of all, deserving all of your success.
- 18:34And every single time you choose to pursue your dream, and every
- 18:39time you follow your heart, and every time you act in alignment
- 18:44with your true self. I want.
- 18:46You to feel that you are replenishing yourself.
- 18:51You are giving. Yourself, sunshine and
- 18:54rainwater, you are nourishing your.
- 18:59True. Identity and this nourishment
- 19:06can take place over days, weeks, even months.
- 19:10But every time you will feel. That.
- 19:14You're nourishing yourself. It's fine when people.
- 19:20Say they believe things. But I want.
- 19:23You to feel. That congruency is acting in
- 19:27accordance with what you believe.
- 19:31And you don't have to. Believe you will be hugely
- 19:34successful. You just need.
- 19:38To act in accordance. With what someone?
- 19:42That did believe they would be successful would do.
- 19:46And by doing. What that version of you would
- 19:49do you? Build the belief.
- 19:52As you go along, I. Want you to?
- 19:55Feel that you don't need for all of the train tracks to be laid.
- 20:01In order for your. Train to be in motion.
- 20:05So long as. There's enough tracks.
- 20:08For the next. Few days.
- 20:12You can lay the. Tracks while your train is in
- 20:15motion. Because yourself.
- 20:18Belief will lay the tracks. And that self.
- 20:22Belief will come. From the actions.
- 20:25That you take in accordance with that belief in effect.
- 20:34You are trusting. Yourself.
- 20:37Be the. Version of you that you know you
- 20:40can be to imagine yourself in the days, weeks and months
- 20:46ahead. Looking like a wilted.
- 20:52Flower that has got that water and sunshine.
- 20:56See yourself. Looking more alive, more
- 20:58confident, more radiant. Notice how you.
- 21:02Carry yourself. Maybe you're smiling more.
- 21:10Maybe you're. Working more on.
- 21:14Your dream more. Maybe you feel immune to
- 21:20provocation. See how?
- 21:24You carry yourself, shoulders back, head high.
- 21:28Eyes clear. Steady.
- 21:30Focused. And notice how.
- 21:33You protect or conserve your energy.
- 21:38How you choose? Carefully where it flows.
- 21:42And notice how. Each time you believe in
- 21:45yourself. The world and.
- 21:49Your actions reflect that belief back to you.
- 21:54So imagine yourself standing tall like that bird of paradise.
- 22:00Resilient. Vibrant.
- 22:04Feeling. Unique and grateful and powerful
- 22:13in your own way. When your unconscious.
- 22:19Mind accepts. That the power.
- 22:23To replenish and nourish yourself is now within your
- 22:25control. And not dependent.
- 22:30On anyone else? Let me know by.
- 22:32Nodding your head. So just imagine.
- 22:38That bird of paradise, that healthy bird of paradise now
- 22:41within you and. Whenever.
- 22:47You do those things. Demonstrate trust, Belief.
- 22:54And act. In accordance with your true
- 22:57identity. You will feel.
- 23:02A bird. Of paradise getting stronger.
- 23:05And more vibrant. But now.
- 23:08Float back from that tropical place all.
- 23:11The way back. To where you are now.
- 23:14Realizing that. All of this.
- 23:17Was. Just a journey.
- 23:18In your imagination. A journey of.
- 23:21Thoughts within thoughts. Ideas within.
- 23:24Ideas and dreams within dreams. As.
- 23:29I now count. From 1:00 to 10:00 you will
- 23:31reawaken, recalibrate and fully connect to.
- 23:37Your true. Identity.
- 23:39Starting to count 123. Waking up 456 more alert. 7-8.
- 23:47Open your eyes. Open your eyes. 9/10.
