• 0:40
  Hi. It's Adam here.
• 0:41
  And in today's episode of The Hypnotist, you can be listening
• 0:44
  to a hypnosis session specifically about cocaine
• 0:49
  addiction. And I've done a few of these
• 0:51
  recently. I think a lot of people realize
• 0:55
  just how destructive this drug is, how financially, emotionally
• 1:00
  and physically costly this particular drug is.
• 1:04
  A recent one that I did related more to someone that just wanted
• 1:08
  to lose the desire for it. They weren't a heavy user.
• 1:11
  This one you're about to listen to is for someone that was using
• 1:15
  it daily and it was really not through pleasure and recreation,
• 1:21
  it was really as a coping strategy.
• 1:25
  To deal with. Things like loneliness and
• 1:27
  overwhelming emotions. So it was a form of self
• 1:31
  medication, but because of their quantity of use had led to quite
• 1:36
  a high level of dependency. So what you can hear in this
• 1:40
  particular hypnosis session is an element of strategic elements
• 1:47
  of how they're going to taper off an expectation that it might
• 1:52
  be difficult because the body, when it's used to a certain
• 1:55
  thing, can have withdraw rules and cravings when it doesn't.
• 1:59
  So you can hear a metaphor of this tunnel with a light at the
• 2:03
  end of the tunnel and that the goal isn't that this is easy,
• 2:08
  that it is manageable, that they that every day their body is
• 2:13
  adapting to a future where they're not dependent on it.
• 2:16
  So there's lots of behavioral strategies and managing of
• 2:21
  expectations, but having a very clear version of the future that
• 2:26
  they want. And what I like in this one is
• 2:28
  that there's a nice element of future pacing but introducing
• 2:33
  resource states they get. To meet.
• 2:37
  Basically their twin sister that had exactly the same life that
• 2:40
  they had, that was using the same amount that they had from
• 2:44
  their future that is now free of cocaine.
• 2:47
  So what it does is it gives them an element of encouragement,
• 2:50
  support, because a lack of connection was one of their key
• 2:54
  motives for using and the sense that this is a winnable, albeit
• 2:59
  difficult challenge. So there's a bit going on here.
• 3:02
  I would say this is going to be more relevant if you are a heavy
• 3:07
  user of a substance. This relates to cocaine, but I
• 3:11
  would say that the structural element of this would still
• 3:14
  apply if you are a heavy user of something else so that you get
• 3:19
  to. Connect.
• 3:21
  With the future version of you that is no longer trapped or
• 3:25
  dependent on whatever your substance seems to be.
• 3:29
  If it's a you're a very infrequent, infrequent user of
• 3:33
  something and you just want to lose the desire for that, Maybe
• 3:37
  check out my earlier episode where it's about reducing
• 3:42
  desire. This is more about.
• 3:44
  Becoming a non. User.
• 3:46
  There's a bit more going. On here SO.
• 3:48
  Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:51
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
• 4:40
  breathe in, just imagine breathing in a feeling of calm
• 4:48
  relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
• 4:57
  any feelings of worries, stresses, any tension to feel
• 5:06
  like it's leaving your body in that outward breath.
• 5:14
  Breathing in, relaxation and exhaling tension.
• 5:20
  And just notice your eyelids feeling heavier and heavier,
• 5:25
  more relaxed. So as you breathe in and breathe
• 5:29
  out, you feel that you're drifting to a place, a place of
• 5:36
  calm, confidence, and relaxation.
• 5:44
  Let your breath become smooth, steady, calm, even, effortless.
• 5:53
  Each inhale brings in a feeling of resourcefulness, and each
• 5:59
  exhale feels that you're just left letting go of any heavy
• 6:06
  emotions from your past, just allowing it to leave your body
• 6:13
  in that outward breath. And I wonder if you can use the
• 6:19
  power of your imagination to imagine a warm, gentle light
• 6:26
  surrounding you like a blanket of light, soft and soothing.
• 6:35
  Allow this light to feel warm, peaceful, and protective.
• 6:41
  But allow it to help every muscle to soften, release, and
• 6:49
  relax. And as you relax, I want you.
• 6:58
  To think. Of a long tunnel, and at the end
• 7:04
  of that tunnel there is a light, and standing in the light at the
• 7:10
  end of that tunnel is your future self, the person you will
• 7:17
  become. I want you to see a person that
• 7:22
  is already free from the hold of cocaine.
• 7:29
  I want you to imagine there is a version of you that exists
• 7:33
  living a life of fulfillment, connection and joy.
• 7:39
  A version of you that gets their dopamine from accomplishing and
• 7:47
  achieving. I want you to know, not believe,
• 7:52
  but know that future version of you does exist and is waiting
• 7:59
  for you. This person is someone who feels
• 8:05
  whole, complete, alive, without needing substances.
• 8:14
  Their life, their experience, that's their addiction.
• 8:24
  I want you to hold on to that vision.
• 8:28
  This is the person you are becoming and you will get to
• 8:36
  that person one step at a time. But before we gravitate towards
• 8:47
  that person, I want you to imagine what it would feel like
• 8:53
  to stand at the top of a staircase, believing that each
• 9:00
  step down the staircase will enable you to feel deeper and
• 9:08
  more relaxed, almost like it's a staircase going down into your
• 9:15
  subconscious mind. So imagine this staircase,
• 9:22
  perhaps made of wood or marble, or maybe carpet.
• 9:30
  But as you. Step down that first step of the
• 9:34
  staircase, feel a wave of peace and calm resonating through your
• 9:43
  body, and with each subsequent step you will move closer to
• 9:52
  that part of your subconscious mind where lasting change
• 9:58
  happens naturally. I'll countdown from 12:50, each
• 10:08
  number enabling you to go further down the staircase. 10
• 10:15
  stepping down deeper and deeper. Nine.
• 10:22
  Feeling safe, feeling peaceful 8.
• 10:29
  As you relax, particularly the muscles in your face, your mind
• 10:35
  opens to new possibilities. Seven more and more relaxed arms
• 10:45
  and legs feeling limp, loose and heavy.
• 10:49
  That's it. Six, feeling lighter, perhaps
• 10:56
  almost like a floaty sensation. And five, you are going deeper
• 11:02
  now, deeper to a place where transformation takes place.
• 11:13
  Four, even more relaxed. You're further than halfway down
• 11:20
  that staircase. You're feeling more confident 3
• 11:27
  sinking deeper still now 2 almost there, and one getting to
• 11:34
  the bottom of that staircase, feeling completely relaxed and
• 11:40
  ready to make the change. And now that you're deeply
• 11:49
  relaxed, I want you to imagine something powerful.
• 11:56
  I want you to imagine someone that looks exactly like you, but
• 12:02
  isn't you. Almost like you have a twin
• 12:08
  sister that has lived your entire experience.
• 12:15
  Everything you have experienced, they have experienced.
• 12:20
  Every moment of happiness, sadness, joy and trauma they
• 12:26
  have experienced, They are you, but not you.
• 12:33
  They've experienced everything you've gone through.
• 12:36
  Someone who has walked the same path, felt the same struggles.
• 12:42
  Someone that understands your journey completely.
• 12:49
  I want you to feel that she has been where you are and she is on
• 12:57
  a journey to overcome it. I want you to get a sense that
• 13:04
  what if this version of you was almost a future version of you
• 13:11
  that has already overcome it. Your imagination can play with
• 13:18
  time. You've had dreams about being in
• 13:22
  your past. You've had thoughts about
• 13:26
  drifting into a future. And what if your twin sister has
• 13:33
  learnt to let go of the hold cocaine had on her and now she
• 13:39
  is free? What if your twin sister knows
• 13:45
  exactly what it takes to be free, and you know that if she
• 13:53
  can do it, so can you? What if she is here to help you,
• 14:03
  to guide you, to support you, and to offer you everything that
• 14:10
  she's learned? She is you in your future and is
• 14:17
  able to help you escape from the same prison she was trapped in.
• 14:26
  I need to imagine her standing by your side showing you the way
• 14:32
  forward. Maybe she tells you the first
• 14:38
  few days will be difficult, that the body may react with
• 14:43
  withdrawals, but she has made it through and so will you.
• 14:52
  She's been there, and now she wants to help you prepare for
• 14:57
  that challenging few days ahead. I want you to imagine the two of
• 15:05
  you side by side, walking through this process together.
• 15:12
  You are not alone in this. You have the wisdom and strength
• 15:18
  of your twin sister guiding you every step of the way and
• 15:27
  together you will map out your strategy step by step.
• 15:38
  I want you to get a sense that if you know the first two or
• 15:40
  three days will be challenging, think of what you can do
• 15:48
  together to mitigate that. Challenge.
• 15:55
  That for the first few days when the body's cravings may be the
• 15:59
  most intense, together you have a clear plan.
• 16:06
  And maybe that involves drinking plenty of water.
• 16:11
  Maybe it's sipping herbal teas or nourishing your body with
• 16:17
  healthy juices that you've already made in advance.
• 16:24
  I want you to get a sense that you will take care of yourself.
• 16:29
  And maybe you imagine that part of this first few days is taking
• 16:35
  hot showers to relax you or cold showers to invigorate you.
• 16:41
  I want you to get a sense that whenever you need it, you can
• 16:46
  nap or sleep, rest and recharge. I want you to get a sense that
• 16:59
  if cravings arise, you will have a strategy.
• 17:05
  I want you to get a sense that you've got a Plan A, a Plan
• 17:10
  BACAD and an E. And going back to cocaine isn't
• 17:17
  even on that long list, not even AZ all the way down the list.
• 17:24
  There's so many things you can do before that thought ever
• 17:29
  enters your mind. Maybe you focus on reading
• 17:35
  something that stimulates your mind.
• 17:42
  Maybe you distract yourself with healthy or enriching activities.
• 17:49
  You have an irrefutable belief that cravings are temporary,
• 17:54
  just like a wave that comes and goes.
• 17:59
  If a cockroach was in your kitchen, you wouldn't feed it to
• 18:02
  make it go away. You would stamp on the cockroach
• 18:07
  or starve the cockroach. Cravings are cockroaches and you
• 18:13
  will deprive them of what they're craving and they will
• 18:17
  become less and less frequent. Your twin sister reminds you
• 18:24
  that this journey is manageable and you will take it one step at
• 18:31
  a time, one day at a time, knowing that every day you are
• 18:37
  closer to freedom. Get a sense that as those first
• 18:45
  few days go by, the body is already adapting.
• 18:53
  Just after two or three days, there is no cocaine in your
• 18:55
  blood, in your saliva. At this point it isn't a
• 19:04
  physiological addiction, it's a psychological addiction and you
• 19:09
  will give yourself permission to be gentle with yourself and this
• 19:16
  will help this process. Be kind.
• 19:23
  You will allow yourself space to rest and heal knowing that your
• 19:30
  body and mind will recalibrate. Your body wants to adapt, and
• 19:42
  now I want you to understand something very important.
• 19:47
  Cocaine was never the answer. It was never the thing that
• 19:54
  would truly fill that void. And for a long time, it may have
• 20:01
  seemed to fill a void. A space that felt empty.
• 20:10
  But the truth is that void can never be filled by a substance,
• 20:16
  otherwise it would have been filled if the void remains.
• 20:23
  This was never the solution to that void.
• 20:30
  What if the real way to fill that space, that void, is by
• 20:36
  releasing the emotional baggage, any pain, any traumas, any
• 20:42
  intrusive thoughts that have kept you stuck in the past?
• 20:48
  I want you to get a sense then using a drug to numb a pain.
• 20:56
  It's just treating a symptom temporarily.
• 21:00
  When you let go of the pain, the need to numb the pain also goes
• 21:07
  away. Your twin sister knows this.
• 21:16
  She has released those past burdens, and now she stands
• 21:22
  before you as a shining example of how letting go of the past
• 21:29
  opens the door to a brighter, more fulfilling future.
• 21:39
  I want you to get a sense that your pain, the past, any
• 21:46
  regrets, any shame, any any sadness, is like a heavy rock
• 21:54
  that you're still attached to. I want you to get a sense it's
• 21:59
  time to let go of that past. It was never meant to hold you
• 22:05
  back. It was meant to make you wiser.
• 22:11
  And if it feels like now is the time to let go of all of that
• 22:15
  pain and baggage from the past, let me know by nodding your
• 22:19
  head. So let go of that pain.
• 22:25
  Walk away from that heavy rock that's been holding you back.
• 22:30
  And when you do feel a sense that that void seems to be
• 22:36
  missing, I want you to get a sense then.
• 22:44
  Freedom comes from allowing the past to make you wiser and more
• 22:51
  resilient, not to make you sad and ashamed and in pain.
• 23:00
  To take all of the wisdom, all of the resilience, knowing that
• 23:06
  you're already making so much progress towards that future
• 23:12
  version of you standing there in the light.
• 23:17
  And notice how you begin to feel lighter, freer, and more
• 23:24
  connected to the world around you.
• 23:28
  You will feel the joy of caring for yourself because you are
• 23:34
  worth it. It is your nature to be caring,
• 23:40
  but now you have a duty of care for yourself.
• 23:47
  You can't pour from an empty cup.
• 23:52
  It is not selfish to give yourself the care you need.
• 23:59
  From this moment on, you will recognize the power of caring
• 24:04
  for yourself, the importance of prioritizing your own
• 24:11
  well-being. You will begin to see that all
• 24:17
  the time, energy, and emotion you've put into caring and
• 24:21
  helping others can now be redirected to care for yourself.
• 24:30
  You need to feel that you're a few weeks into the future and
• 24:35
  have made so much progress. Your twin sister is proud of you
• 24:40
  for taking these crucial steps, and she's here to remind you
• 24:47
  that you are strong enough to take and make this journey.
• 24:56
  Things don't have to be easy to be doable.
• 24:59
  Your life is evidence of this. Feel that the more challenging
• 25:05
  the journey, the prouder the accomplishment.
• 25:10
  The becoming your future self will be your proudest
• 25:16
  accomplishment. Your twin sister has done it as
• 25:24
  you already know that your twin sister is just you.
• 25:28
  And a few months from now and now it's your turn.
• 25:33
  You are not alone. Every step forward is a step
• 25:37
  towards that life of freedom, fulfilment and connection.
• 25:43
  It's time for you to claim it. That heavy rock holding you back
• 25:49
  is no longer there, so now you can make that progress towards
• 25:56
  the person you deserve to be. Happy, fulfilled, confident.
• 26:04
  And as you begin to prepare for the weeks ahead, you can rest in
• 26:11
  the knowledge that you are supported.
• 26:15
  Each day you will take small, manageable steps towards this
• 26:20
  freedom. And when cravings come, you will
• 26:25
  have the tools to manage them, knowing that your journey is
• 26:31
  manageable, achievable, and each day you stay committed to your
• 26:37
  path, you will feel stronger, more confident and more capable
• 26:45
  of achieving the freedom you deserve.
• 26:51
  The first few days will be the hardest, but that's also
• 26:59
  evidence that everything else will get easier and easier.
• 27:07
  Pain is temporary. And what if it's the price of
• 27:14
  freedom? You can manage this.
• 27:21
  I want you to get a sense of what the next few days will be
• 27:24
  like. Imagine yourself doing what is
• 27:27
  necessary to make this progress. And when you feel you have that
• 27:33
  clarity of what comes next, those steps in the right
• 27:38
  direction, let me know by nodding your head and feel that
• 27:45
  you are unlocking all of the resources required to make these
• 27:50
  steps manageable. You're doing this for you and
• 27:56
  you're doing this for all the people, dead or alive, that want
• 28:04
  you to be happy and what you're capable of.
• 28:13
  And if you feel that you're making a promise to yourself and
• 28:16
  to them, then feel that you've already taken that first step or
• 28:23
  first few steps. This isn't about starting
• 28:27
  something. It's about continuing on the
• 28:31
  foundations and progress you've already made.
• 28:35
  It's time to come back to the here and now, so take a deep
• 28:40
  breath in through your nose and out through your nose.
• 28:47
  Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
• 28:48
  Connect with the here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to
• 28:53
  10:00 to awaken you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 29:01
