• 0:05
  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
• 0:12
  genuine. Issues.
• 0:13
  Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
• 0:16
  celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
• 0:20
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:24
  world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:39
  Hi, it's Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:42
  hypnosis session all about releasing trauma from the past.
• 0:49
  And most of the client sessions that I do, I do over Zoom.
• 0:53
  I do them here in my studio. I'm here in northwest London and
• 0:58
  my clients are somewhere else in the world.
• 1:00
  And you might be surprised to know this, but most of my
• 1:02
  clients are no longer from the UK.
• 1:05
  They're from the United States, Australia, Canada, the United
• 1:09
  Emirates, all different parts of the world, and some of them are
• 1:12
  still in the UK. And this client session, you
• 1:14
  might notice that I'm not looking into the camera, I'm
• 1:17
  actually looking in this direction.
• 1:19
  And that's because the client was in my studio with me.
• 1:23
  They were london-based. They were able to actually come
• 1:26
  into my studio. And it's always good to work
• 1:28
  with clients directly in that way.
• 1:30
  And they had a very, very sad and traumatic past.
• 1:36
  Effectively, they considered themself an unwanted child that
• 1:41
  they were born and not wanted and passed around to different
• 1:45
  family members and almost rejected and seen as a problem.
• 1:50
  And that really affected them. And for a while they went off
• 1:54
  the rails getting into crime and drugs and those kind of things.
• 1:58
  But. They were now in a place where
• 2:00
  they really wanted to be an aspiring actor and not just an
• 2:04
  aspiring actor, a successful actor.
• 2:08
  So the reframe here in this session is to look at the pain
• 2:12
  and the rejection. And the sadness.
• 2:15
  Of their past, rather than being a problem, actually turning it
• 2:20
  into. A treasure trove.
• 2:22
  Of opportunities that for a competent actor would be a
• 2:26
  goldmine. Because they can.
• 2:28
  Feed upon those. Real, visceral moments to
• 2:31
  enhance their authenticity as an actor.
• 2:36
  The what? The people.
• 2:37
  That are hypnotherapists. That listen to this show, we'll
• 2:41
  also detect inner child work. And there's inner child work and
• 2:45
  also timeline work because we go back to certain memories and
• 2:49
  they get to be a resource to themselves that they never were,
• 2:52
  but also take resources from the past.
• 2:55
  So if you can resonate with the idea that you had an upsetting
• 2:58
  childhood or even just moments of pain or rejection or
• 3:02
  abandonment, you'll get some value from this.
• 3:04
  But obviously it was created for an individual client.
• 3:07
  It might be that you weren't treated unfairly as much as this
• 3:11
  client was. It might be that you don't want
• 3:13
  to be an actor. In which case, disregard any
• 3:17
  suggestions that don't quite fit.
• 3:19
  Hone into the ones that really connect and resonate for you.
• 3:22
  Because even if this hypnosis session is 50 or 60% relevant,
• 3:27
  that's better than no session at all, so long as you can
• 3:30
  disregard anything that isn't quite right for you.
• 3:34
  And the unconscious mind is pretty good at that.
• 3:36
  It's called selective attention. So if you're listening to the
• 3:39
  radio, for example, and there's a news article about something
• 3:42
  that doesn't relate to you, it's just background noise.
• 3:45
  But if the news article is something that is highly
• 3:47
  relevant to you, you pay attention.
• 3:49
  And that's called selective attention, Also called the
• 3:52
  cocktail party phenomenon, which comes from this idea that if
• 3:56
  you're in a cocktail party, if you're in this kind of busy
• 3:59
  party and you're in in in in depth conversation with someone
• 4:03
  in front of you and someone else in the room starts talking about
• 4:06
  your name, your attention will immediately switch to them.
• 4:09
  So just trust that you're unconscious, will absorb the
• 4:13
  sessions that and the messages that are relevant for you and
• 4:17
  ignore anything that is irrelevant.
• 4:20
  But if you do like the idea of having something.
• 4:22
  Created bespoke, tailored. Customized to you, there will be
• 4:27
  a link in the description where you can schedule that free
• 4:29
  consultation call to explore working with me.
• 4:32
  For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place.
• 4:34
  The kind of place where you're not going to be distracted or
• 4:37
  disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 5:08
  Take a deep breath in. As you breathe in, breathe in
• 5:13
  that feeling of calm relaxation and as you exhale, that's it.
• 5:18
  close your eyes, eyelids feeling heavier or relaxed, That's it.
• 5:26
  Breathing in, relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 5:34
  Each breath takes you into that place of calm, tranquility.
• 5:43
  That's it. Breathing in through your nose
• 5:48
  and feeling your diaphragm expand, but as you let go, feel
• 5:54
  like you're releasing echoes of unfairness, injustice.
• 6:05
  Feel it leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 6:12
  And I want you to think of a colour that would represent
• 6:18
  worthiness, make it glow. And just imagine breathing in
• 6:27
  that worthiness and through your nose and exhaling any
• 6:37
  unworthiness. Imagine a dark shadow, greys,
• 6:43
  darkness just leaving your body in your outward breath.
• 6:49
  Breathing in the worthiness and exhaling unworthiness.
• 6:56
  Consider this an emotional transfusion.
• 7:00
  Breathing in what you need and exhaling things that aren't
• 7:08
  yours anyway, just echoes of your past.
• 7:11
  That's it. Notice that the deeper you
• 7:16
  breathe, the more relaxed you feel, and the more relaxed you
• 7:23
  feel, the deeper you breathe and as your.
• 7:29
  Body relaxes. Your imagination awakens and I
• 7:37
  want you to imagine drifting back to a memory.
• 7:41
  Sunday afternoon, blue sky, sandy beach, and you can
• 7:48
  remember the temperature of the sea.
• 7:52
  You can remember feeling the sun on your skin.
• 7:57
  You can remember play, laughter, joy, and I want you to connect
• 8:05
  with a feeling of feeling. Feeling valuable, feeling safe,
• 8:14
  feeling relaxed. And I want you to imagine there
• 8:20
  is a place on that beach. A place where you can imagine
• 8:26
  drifting off into a dreamlike sleep.
• 8:31
  And maybe you could imagine a blanket on that beach, or
• 8:40
  perhaps a hammer between 2 trees.
• 8:44
  It doesn't need to have been there in reality, this is just
• 8:48
  your imagination. And now give yourself permission
• 8:53
  to have the whole beach just for you.
• 8:57
  No one else there but you. But you don't feel lonely or
• 9:03
  separated. You feel peaceful and connected
• 9:07
  to yourself. Imagine yourself becoming more
• 9:12
  and more comfortable in that place.
• 9:17
  Perhaps you can imagine hearing the gentle breaking of the waves
• 9:20
  on the shore, the breeze on your skin, the warmth of the
• 9:25
  sunshine. And very soon I will countdown
• 9:30
  from 12:50 and you will imagine drifting off into a dreamlike
• 9:37
  sleep there on that beach. But I want you to feel that
• 9:44
  you're on that beach not as a child, but as an adult. 10
• 9:52
  Eyelids feeling heavier. 9 Breathing in that worthiness,
• 9:58
  exhaling any unworthiness. 8 Loosen your jaw and seven, feel
• 10:05
  that relaxation ripple down into your neck and your shoulders.
• 10:10
  That's it. 7 becomes 6. Feel your arms feeling limp,
• 10:17
  loose and heavy. Six becomes 5 and just imagine
• 10:25
  your internal organs start to relax.
• 10:29
  Tiny muscles around your neck, your heart, your lungs, your
• 10:32
  stomach all relax deeply now. That's it.
• 10:38
  Taking you deeper and deeper. Relaxed.
• 10:47
  That's it. 5 becomes 4. Feel that relaxation shifting
• 10:53
  there into the gut because if the neck and the shoulders is
• 10:58
  where stress is stored, worries and anxiety normally there in
• 11:04
  the gut and just feel and the anxiety melting away, continuing
• 11:11
  to breathe in that colour of worthiness, like it's charging a
• 11:15
  battery of worthiness within. And then drifting down into your
• 11:20
  legs as four becomes three. Feel your legs limp, loose and
• 11:26
  heavy so your arms and legs now feel like the limbs of a puppet
• 11:30
  with no strings. Limp, loose, floppy, 2 going
• 11:37
  down into your ankles and then one from the tips of your toes
• 11:42
  all the way up to the top of your head and back down to the
• 11:46
  tips of your fingers. I want you to feel a sense of
• 11:51
  deep relaxation as you imagine drifting off into a dreamlike
• 11:58
  sleep where you're on the same beach but no longer in your
• 12:02
  body. Imagine standing beside
• 12:05
  yourself, seeing yourself fast asleep, and imagine lifting up
• 12:11
  an arm from your wrist and feeling how limp and loose that
• 12:14
  wrist is, letting go, seeing it flop back by your side.
• 12:21
  Consider your conscious mind fast asleep and your unconscious
• 12:25
  mind. They're on the beach and I want
• 12:30
  you to imagine discovering a weird shaped object.
• 12:38
  This is not a three-dimensional cube.
• 12:41
  It's a four dimensional cube. Some people call it a tesseract,
• 12:47
  some people call it a hypercube, an object that can't exist in a
• 12:53
  three-dimensional reality, but in the 4th dimension does exist.
• 12:59
  The key difference being that it's a fluid, dynamic shape and
• 13:04
  that it exists at every point in time.
• 13:10
  And I want you to imagine holding on to that tesseract and
• 13:18
  finding that it teleports you all the way back to a memory.
• 13:26
  You will arrive as you are your current age, and you will be
• 13:30
  invisible to anyone else at that time.
• 13:35
  And I want you to imagine going back to a memory where you see a
• 13:39
  younger version of you arriving in England for the very first
• 13:44
  time. Maybe there was nervousness on
• 13:49
  that young face of yours. Perhaps there was surprise at
• 13:55
  how cold or grey everything felt.
• 14:00
  And I want you to imagine seeing that child on their own in a
• 14:05
  room for the very first time, and what you can imagine
• 14:14
  observing that younger version of you alone in a new place.
• 14:20
  Let me know by nodding your head.
• 14:26
  You're invisible to that child now.
• 14:28
  Just observe them. Maybe they look confused,
• 14:32
  frightened, alone. And then imagine that you can
• 14:39
  now become visible to them, so they see you as you currently
• 14:45
  are, and they're shocked. Why is this adult in their room?
• 14:56
  But show them the Tesseract, this morphing, folding and
• 15:00
  unfolding shape. Tell them that this enables you
• 15:04
  to travel back in time and you are them from the future.
• 15:09
  Of course they're cynical. They don't believe you, but
• 15:13
  since you are them, you can prove it.
• 15:16
  And you can prove it by telling them a secret that only they
• 15:20
  know. They might be surprised that you
• 15:25
  know that secret, but you do. And once you've reassured them
• 15:31
  and they believe you that you are them from the future, let me
• 15:37
  know by nodding your head. I want you to just listen to
• 15:44
  this child. What are they worried about?
• 15:48
  What questions do they have? Just listen.
• 15:54
  I want you to tell this child you love them, You support them,
• 16:01
  you see them, give them the attention they crave.
• 16:07
  Ask them questions about what they like, what their plans are.
• 16:18
  And I want you to tell this young child what is to come
• 16:26
  because so many things happened that they weren't expecting,
• 16:32
  they weren't ready for. Tell them that they'll move
• 16:37
  around a lot, but it will give them resilience.
• 16:42
  Tell them that they will be treated unfairly, but that will
• 16:49
  give them perspective. Tell them that they will receive
• 16:55
  cruelty, but it will teach them compassion.
• 17:02
  They might be confused at first, but just say the words.
• 17:07
  Tell them that everything that happens one day will be
• 17:14
  treasure, will be valuable, will make their life wonderful.
• 17:28
  Now that younger version of you has a gift for you because there
• 17:32
  is a quality that you had back then that you now need.
• 17:38
  And you have something now that you didn't have back then that
• 17:42
  that younger version of you needs.
• 17:45
  And maybe it's a belief, a quality, a feeling and emotion.
• 17:53
  But consider this an exchange of gifts.
• 17:57
  The younger version of you has something you need.
• 18:01
  Now imagine seeing it as a glowing ball of energy, and
• 18:06
  imagine receiving that glowing ball of energy from that younger
• 18:10
  self, holding it to your chest and feeling it absorb into your
• 18:15
  body. And maybe you know what this
• 18:18
  resource, this belief is, and maybe you don't, but your
• 18:22
  unconscious does. And then give something to this
• 18:27
  younger version of you. And maybe it's self belief.
• 18:34
  Maybe it's hope, maybe it's confidence, or something else
• 18:41
  you decide, or just enable your unconscious to choose it for
• 18:47
  you. And imagine handing that younger
• 18:50
  version of you that glowing ball of energy, when they accept it
• 18:56
  and it absorbs into their chest, sees something shift in them
• 19:04
  that they are now better able to cope.
• 19:08
  They now know that they are seen, loved, and tell this
• 19:16
  younger version of you that they are wanted and needed.
• 19:21
  And then give them a hug. And not one of those informal
• 19:25
  hugs, but a hug that communicates safety, love,
• 19:30
  connection. And then say goodbye to that
• 19:36
  younger version of you, but see them with a different facial
• 19:41
  expression to how you arrived. Something about them has
• 19:45
  changed. Now they are more prepared.
• 19:55
  Hold on to your tesseract. See it moving?
• 19:58
  Shifting. Say goodbye to that younger
• 20:01
  version of yourself and now go forwards in time to a moment of
• 20:07
  unfairness. Someone else was treated
• 20:12
  differently to you and that wasn't right.
• 20:16
  And I want you to go back to that version of you.
• 20:21
  Perhaps they were crying, upset, angry and again see them when
• 20:28
  they're by themselves and reveal yourself to them.
• 20:34
  Only this time they recognize you from all those years before
• 20:39
  they recognize you. And you don't need to prove
• 20:42
  you're them from the future anymore.
• 20:46
  But just listen. Listen to the pain, the
• 20:52
  frustration, the sadness, and there's no need to excuse in.
• 21:00
  Tell them what they're feeling is real and justified and you
• 21:05
  understand it because you lived through it.
• 21:14
  I want you to be the father to that version of you that you
• 21:20
  never had in that way back then. See yourself like your own
• 21:26
  child. What would you say?
• 21:30
  What would you do to make them feel wanted, seen, important?
• 21:38
  And perhaps while there is laughter in a different part of
• 21:43
  the house, you're joking and laughing with them, playing a
• 21:49
  game, getting to know them, telling them funny stories that
• 21:55
  you can both remember sharing. And I want you to get a sense
• 22:03
  that that version of you perhaps is felt that they were an
• 22:09
  unwanted victim, passed around a hindrance, a burden.
• 22:19
  And you're there to tell them that they are not.
• 22:25
  They have value. I want you to explain Aikido to
• 22:30
  that younger version of you. Explain how someone smaller or
• 22:39
  weaker could use the force of someone bigger and stronger.
• 22:46
  And then tell them that life, life is going to throw punches
• 22:52
  and kicks at them. Injustice and unfairness.
• 22:57
  But there is a way to have all of that work for you.
• 23:06
  Tell this younger version of you that you will be a magnificent
• 23:12
  actor and all of these experiences will give you real
• 23:21
  emotions, real moments, real things to draw from that no one
• 23:30
  else can ever replicate. Their whole life, their whole
• 23:35
  childhood is an intense advanced method.
• 23:42
  Acting, drama, school. They are learning skills without
• 23:47
  even realizing it. And when they're older,
• 23:52
  something will click into place. So everything that's happened
• 23:57
  from their past then becomes resources that benefit them in
• 24:04
  the future, and there's nothing they need to do.
• 24:10
  All they need to do is to live life with hope that things will
• 24:15
  improve and a belief that they are destined to do something
• 24:22
  valuable and important. And if that younger version of
• 24:27
  you accepts that things will get better, that they are important,
• 24:34
  and they will do something meaningful, impactful, let me
• 24:39
  know by nodding your head. Give that younger version of you
• 24:44
  a hug, a healing hug. The kind of hug that they can
• 24:51
  think back again and again to know that they are loved, to
• 24:56
  know that they are seen, to know that they are important.
• 25:03
  That's it. Say goodbye to that version of
• 25:10
  you at whatever age you are. Then maybe 10/11/12, maybe a
• 25:15
  different age. And then I want you to go
• 25:21
  forwards in time, one final time.
• 25:23
  Maybe you're 15 and I want you to see yourself one day before
• 25:33
  you're about to experiment with a drug designed to help you
• 25:38
  escape. Reveal yourself to that
• 25:44
  adolescent version of you. Maybe that version of you is
• 25:48
  angry. Maybe they're jaded, maybe
• 25:55
  they're feeling something else, but when they see you again,
• 26:00
  they smile. You're the constant source of
• 26:05
  love, support, and acceptance. Tell them the pros and cons.
• 26:13
  Tell them that this will make them feel something they haven't
• 26:17
  felt for a while, but that it's an illusion.
• 26:23
  It's a substitute for happiness. It's a simulation for joy.
• 26:28
  It's not the real thing. Tell them that they can do
• 26:35
  whatever they need to do, but never forget they get to steer
• 26:41
  their life in the direction that they choose.
• 26:46
  They don't have to follow the script of anyone else.
• 26:51
  If people have low expectations for them, they can defy those
• 26:56
  expectations. They can live life on their
• 27:01
  terms. They are valuable, special,
• 27:05
  important, and everything they go through will teach them
• 27:12
  something valuable, something they can accept and earn.
• 27:20
  And one day all the difficulty they've gone through will all
• 27:26
  make sense again. Hug them, adolescent version of
• 27:35
  you. Let them know they are seeing
• 27:40
  they are important. And very quickly, take the
• 27:44
  perspective of the younger version of you feeling that
• 27:48
  love, that acknowledgement, that support, that acceptance.
• 27:57
  Feel it as if you were living it back then.
• 28:02
  And notice how much easier it is to feel optimistic, purposeful,
• 28:07
  hopeful, worthy. And then switch perspectives
• 28:15
  again. Be back in your adult self and
• 28:19
  this time take the tesseract to visit a future.
• 28:23
  I want you to see yourself a few months into an acting course.
• 28:31
  Maybe this is the thing that can unlock new doors, new skills,
• 28:38
  new abilities or new connections.
• 28:43
  And I want you to see there are two different pathways for you
• 28:48
  and you see them both. You can see that version of you
• 28:53
  as an adult now doing what they should be doing, but not doing
• 29:00
  it well, not being committed, not throwing themselves 100%
• 29:07
  into it. And follow that timeline and see
• 29:11
  where it leads. But then see what you could be
• 29:17
  doing, not what you should be doing.
• 29:22
  See a version of you with nothing to lose in a positive
• 29:27
  way. To go all in, to be liberated,
• 29:32
  to be free, to treat everything as an opportunity.
• 29:38
  See yourself brim with enthusiasm.
• 29:42
  See yourself as an Aikido master using all of your past, your
• 29:47
  pain, the unfairness, the injustice, the loneliness.
• 29:55
  See that version of you using it all.
• 29:59
  See yourself with the ability to harvest emotions from your past
• 30:06
  like a treasure trove and see how these two different
• 30:11
  trajectories take your life in different directions.
• 30:18
  And I want you to make a decision to either do what you
• 30:21
  should be doing or to do what you could be doing, and then
• 30:30
  step into whichever 1 feels more aligned with your future.
• 30:35
  And when you've done so, let me know.
• 30:38
  By nodding your head, you're now living that life.
• 30:43
  And imagine going three or four years into the future, and
• 30:48
  imagine a wonderful future where you're able to fully utilize
• 30:55
  your past to reward you in the present.
• 31:02
  It wasn't whether your past was good or bad.
• 31:05
  It's whether it's. Useful or not, and imagine
• 31:09
  putting your past to use in ways you could never comprehend.
• 31:17
  And if this feels a more aligned, empowered future, let
• 31:22
  me know by nodding your head and consider this planting a seed of
• 31:28
  an idea into one of infinite possibilities.
• 31:34
  But now your brain, your mind is focused on what subtle things
• 31:41
  can move your future closer. So.

  You were never unwanted. You were just underappreciated
• 32:36
  and. Now you are.
• 32:37
  Giving yourself the appreciation to make up for what?
• 32:43
  You didn't receive. As a child you're giving
• 32:46
  yourself the self belief. To make up for the lack.
• 32:51
  Of belief in you as a child. Feel that?
• 32:54
  Your present. Is now compensating.
• 32:59
  All of the lack of the past is now made-up in abundance in the
• 33:05
  present. Feel that.
• 33:08
  Imagine leaving place of relaxation and imagine.
