0:16

0:47
Hi, it's Adam here. And in this episode of The
0:51
Hypnotist, you're going to be listening to a hypnosis session
0:55
created for a client that was really committed to giving up
0:59
smoking and vaping, but really wanted to align that with not
1:07
really an identity of just trying, but fully committing to
1:12
that identity of not someone attempting to quit and
1:17
occasionally quitting, but someone that.
1:19
Simply has. Done that and a lot of people
1:23
make a change in their life and when they make that change, they
1:27
become and. Evolved slightly different.
1:29
Version of themself and you can think of things in your life
1:33
that. You used to do a lot.
1:36
And now you don't do anymore. There were certain things you
1:38
used to do as a child, and you don't do those things.
1:41
And there's certain things you used to do as a teenager, and
1:43
you don't do those things. And there's certain things you
1:45
used to do as a teenager, and you don't do those things.
1:47
And there's certain things used to do in your early adulthood,
1:49
and you don't do those things now.
1:51
And it doesn't take a lot of willpower to not do those
1:54
things. You just simply don't want to do
1:56
those things anymore because. You've slightly changed as a.
2:00
Person and these changes can be subtle and over time they just
2:05
become a slightly new version of you.
2:09
So this was a key element. That I wanted to work with this
2:13
client, that the pride that they got wasn't in that they'd quit
2:17
for so long. It's that they were a person
2:20
that was never going to go back to who they were before because
2:22
they're different now. And that's a much more powerful
2:26
and long term identity shift if you are struggling with quitting
2:31
smoking or vaping. Or weed or.
2:34
Something like that that feels like it's got a bit of a hold on
2:37
you. A lot of these things are linked
2:40
to a certain identity and if you think of the the word smoker, a
2:45
lot of people will link that to their identity.
2:47
It's kind of who they think they are rather than someone who
2:51
looks at it at a behavioral level and they say I smoked and
2:56
and that's why making a shift at the identity level rather than a
3:00
behavioral level is so important, the identity.
3:04
To get to. Is someone that used to smoke,
3:07
was a smoker but isn't a smoker anymore?
3:10
And if you feel like I might be the right person to help you get
3:13
to that new identity, there will be a link in the show notes
3:16
where you can schedule that complete free consultation call.
3:20
For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
3:23
won't be. Disturbed, relax and.
3:25
Enjoy the session. Take a deep.
4:06
Breath. In and as you breathe in,
4:13
breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation.
4:18
And as you exhale, feel a wonderful sense of release.
4:26
Any feelings of stress or tension, just imagine that
4:30
leaving your body in your outward breath.
4:33
And when you breathe in, breathe in longer and deeper than you
4:40
normally would and slow down that exhale, really feeling that
4:48
you're emptying your lungs and activating your diaphragm.
4:55
And use the power of your imagination to imagine a
5:03
cocktail of colours, each colour representing a different
5:08
resource. And imagine breathing in strange
5:15
combination of colours. And those colours could be
5:21
relaxation, a feeling of resolve, of mental fortitude,
5:32
decisiveness, optimism. Just imagine whatever colours
5:41
you're breathing in represent exactly the resources most
5:46
useful for this moment in time. And as you exhale, just imagine
5:58
dark shadows and greys leaving your body and allow that to be
6:07
anything unresourceful. Maybe stress, frustration,
6:13
shame, or guilt. Anything that feels like it's
6:17
holding you back in some way. Just allow it to leave your
6:25
body. And sometimes the ultimate thing
6:31
to let go of is a feeling of scarcity or unworthiness.
6:43
Sometimes people feel that it's totally fine to do something
6:50
destructive because the value isn't there anyway.
6:57
So if you feel any echoes of unworthiness, anything that
7:06
represents harsh or unfair assessments of yourself, just
7:11
feel that it's time to let go of them.
7:18
Breathing in everything your body needs and exhaling anything
7:25
it doesn't. And as you breathe in and
7:30
breathe out, allow your mind to take you to a place.
7:35
A place where it feels that you can be aligned with the person
7:46
you truly want to be. So take an even deeper, soothing
7:54
breath and let it fill you with a sense of calm and quiet,
8:00
continuing to release any tension with each exhale as you
8:07
start to assess the weight of arms and legs, the rhythm of
8:12
your breathing, and just feel a looseness, a relaxation.
8:21
Every breath is gently guiding you into that deeper state of
8:27
peace and relaxation. With each breath, you feel more
8:36
settled, more comfortable, as if every part of you is beginning
8:44
to rest, inviting a gentle calmness that flows from the top
8:51
of your head down through your neck, your shoulders, your
8:59
chest. But pay close attention to your
9:05
lungs. As you breathe in those bright
9:10
vibrant colours, start to feel that your lungs are resonating
9:19
at a particular frequency that you can call health or vitality.
9:26
Continue to breathe in and breathe out and feel yourself
9:29
drifting down deeper down into a place of inner stillness, a
9:36
place where your mind and body work in harmony.
9:41
A place where change feels completely natural and
9:45
effortless. Each breath takes you even
9:52
deeper into this peaceful awareness where the subconscious
9:57
mind is ready to release, ready to grow, and ready to evolve.
10:10
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a path, and maybe this
10:15
path represents your journey forward.
10:22
And maybe one of these paths is an identity that represents 1
10:35
positive step forward. An identity away from smoking,
10:41
away from the old habits, perhaps into a slightly subtly
10:48
different version of you living a life of health and strength
10:56
and just that inner knowledge that you wanted to make a change
11:02
and you made that change. A version of you that doesn't
11:06
look back. And as you stand there on the
11:11
edge of that path, feel the weight of the past begin to
11:18
dissolve, like a shadow fading into the light of a bright,
11:25
clear day. And as you step onto this path,
11:36
maybe as you look backwards on the path, you can see that
11:39
smoking was once a part of your life.
11:44
Maybe you can recall early memories of it just being how
11:49
things were. That was then and this is now.
11:57
You can choose to go backwards, or you can choose to go
12:01
forwards, and forwards is where you are free of it.
12:10
That path is where you've left that old life behind, just like
12:17
an old chapter of a book, and feel the person you are today is
12:24
no longer a smoker. You know that you were, but
12:30
you're not anymore. That you've evolved into someone
12:36
that could find excuses, could find justifications, and yet
12:46
still does not choose to go backwards, feel like you're
12:55
connecting with that future version of you, where in this
13:00
moment you know deeply with every part of your being.
13:05
You're a non-smoker and you don't need validation or
13:11
recognition badges or milestones.
13:19
You don't need to avoid emotional triggers.
13:24
You just don't want to smoke anymore.
13:31
You are someone who values your health, the freedom of knowing
13:38
you're on a path you want to be on, Someone who is proud to have
13:43
left that version of you behind. It was part of you and isn't
13:50
anymore to step into a life that feels like it's aligned with the
13:57
version of you you want to be. As you think back on that
14:07
version of you that used to smoke, maybe like a good twist
14:12
in a movie, you begin to see it in a new light.
14:19
What if, from this new perspective, looking backwards,
14:24
what once might have seemed like a reward you now recognise as
14:29
something else entirely. You start to think of those real
14:38
moments of perhaps bleeding guns or clues of physical damage on
14:45
your body. What if you start to see that
14:50
those moments of smoking were never a reward, but a
14:54
punishment, A cellular punishment that harms your body,
15:02
your mind, your well-being? It's not a surprise that quite
15:11
often people indulge in self-destructive behaviour when
15:15
they feel at their lowest, when they feel unworthy, unloved,
15:24
undesirable. What if they're matching their
15:30
inner reality by creating an external reality in the same way
15:36
that a teenager might self harm by cutting or scratching, What
15:44
if this smoking habit was always a punishment, something that
15:52
brought harm, a cellular punishment that drained your
15:57
health, your energy, your strength?
16:07
And maybe you realise now that a reward should uplift you.
16:14
A reward should enhance your life.
16:20
What if smoking gave the illusion of that but never truly
16:25
did it? What if it was never a true
16:29
reward, just just that feeling of it, feeling good in
16:38
comparison to something else? Smoking has been described as
16:48
wearing tight, uncomfortable shoes just to feel the temporary
16:53
pleasure of taking them off. And what if now, in this future,
17:02
you're free from that burden, Free to live a life that truly
17:07
values and honours your health? I want you to imagine you've
17:15
been on this pathway for several weeks and maybe maybe certain
17:26
things helped. Seeing progress, milestones of
17:30
days or weeks, knowing the positive health benefits.
17:34
It's having you to get a sense that the real source of pride is
17:46
encountering those same justifications, excuses, those
17:53
same rationales, and connecting with the idea that that isn't
18:00
you anymore, that you are a non-smoker and you have chosen a
18:08
life of freedom. No need to mooch.
18:14
No need to sneak. Why go backwards if you can go
18:23
forwards? And what if the biggest pay off
18:28
has nothing to do with physical damage on your body?
18:33
What if the real pay off is simply the consequence of
18:41
evolving your identity? Evolving it in such a way that
18:49
even when things are stressful, even when things feel difficult
18:55
or challenging, even then you still don't want it.
19:04
Feel this deep, unwavering resolve.
19:08
Felt it before, activated again. Now it's part of you now, an
19:14
unshakeable part of who you are. No matter what life brings, no
19:22
matter how stressful a situation may be or how challenging a
19:27
moment may feel, you know that smoking or vaping is not and
19:34
will never be the answer. You have evolved beyond it.
19:41
Scan your body for where you have that feeling of resolve,
19:46
maybe your head, your chest, the solar plexus.
19:51
Locate that feeling of resolve and expand it as you say to
19:58
yourself with deep conviction. I don't want it, I don't need
20:05
it. And feel the resolve getting
20:09
stronger. Feel that your resolve is
20:14
stronger now than ever before. But the true way of testing your
20:20
resolve is not when things are easy, it's when things are
20:24
difficult. When you could just take a walk
20:31
to a nearby petrol station and yet don't.
20:37
Someone's annoyed you, rejected you.
20:42
You could use it as justification, a tit for tat,
20:48
but you don't. That is how strong your resolve
20:52
is and will activate even more whenever you reach these
20:57
crossroad moments because your key sense of pride comes from
21:02
levelling up and you are someone that has no desire to go
21:09
backwards. I want you to imagine yourself
21:16
three months from now living day-to-day as a non-smoker.
21:26
I don't want you to see yourself when it's easy.
21:30
See yourself handling challenges, stressful
21:35
situations, nightmares, problems that come in three all at the
21:41
same time. And see that version of you,
21:45
that levelled up evolved version of you dealing with those
21:49
moments, stressful moments, challenging moments with calm
21:54
and confidence. You are resilient, you are
21:58
adaptable, you are strong, and every time you move through
22:03
these moments without even a thought of smoking, you feel
22:10
even prouder and even stronger. And if you do think of smoking,
22:15
consider these battles. And each battle you win
22:21
strengthens your resolve for the next battle until you win the
22:28
war. Winning the war means no matter
22:34
what happens, you'll never go back.
22:39
Imagine how good it feels to wake up each day knowing you've
22:48
left that old habit behind. And maybe there's clues.
22:53
Maybe you'll be brushing your teeth four years from now and
23:01
you get a glimpse of a thorn, of what your teeth could look like
23:07
if you did continue as a smoker. And yet you're not.
23:13
You feel grateful for the version of you that you are,
23:17
that version of you that made a choice to follow the path
23:22
forward, not backwards. Let's say in the future there is
23:30
a moment, a moment of crisis might be a time when you feel
23:39
you deserve a reward, where you feel inclined to punish yourself
23:45
because if nobody else cares, why should you?
23:53
But I want you to imagine in advance you're doing something
23:58
with purpose, choosing something that builds you up rather than
24:04
knocks you down. In this game of snakes and
24:08
ladders. Just imagine that in these
24:10
moments you choose to climb a ladder rather than slide down a
24:16
snake. And I wonder what these ladders
24:22
could be. Because if in these moments of
24:27
intensity you choose to move forwards rather than backwards,
24:35
over time these compounds taking your future life on a different
24:42
trajectory. A.
24:44
Positive, empowering, wonderful trajectory that you will never
24:48
know if you make the choice to slide down that snake.
25:00
You choose to act with compassion and kindness for
25:03
yourself. You deserve to move forwards,
25:09
not backwards. Feel that you are becoming
25:13
someone who lives even more intentionally.
25:18
Someone that rewards. Himself with purpose treats
25:23
themselves with respect. And what if small rewards?
25:29
You decide that after a year or even six months of aligning with
25:37
this non-smoker identity, you'll give yourself an intentional
25:43
reward that is a once in a lifetime experience, giving you
25:50
the ability to reward yourself intentionally and powerfully,
25:58
giving you a life that is better as a direct result of this new
26:05
identity. And feel this identity now, this
26:10
powerful, strong, evolved identity settling deep within
26:16
you, becoming part of just who you are.
26:21
Every cell, every breath. You are a non-smoker.
26:27
This is who you are. A source of deep conviction, a
26:35
demonstration of you moving forward, a source of freedom.
26:41
You are a non-smoker. You are proud of your strength
26:47
and resolve, especially in the moments that require it.
26:56
You choose freedom, you choose health, and you choose a path of
27:06
growth and progress. You are in control and you are
27:12
stronger than any temporary urge.
27:21
Any thoughts of fleeting you will just wait them out until
27:27
any thoughts or feelings subside.
27:32
You will win every battle, and in doing so, you win the war.
27:42
And now with this powerful sense of clarity, deep resolve, and
27:49
aligned with this evolved version of you, take a deep
27:55
Browning breath. Breathe in through your nose,
28:00
and as you exhale, exhale through the nose.
28:04
Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
28:06
Connect fully into the here and now as I now count from 1:00 to
28:11
10:00 to awaken you. You will awaken connected,
28:16
connected with the future version of you, aligned with
28:22
that version of you. Connected, starting to count to
28:27
awaken you. 123 waking up. 456 more alert. 7-8 open your eyes.
28:36
Open your eyes. 910 Wide awake Wide awake, Wide awake.
