• 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 Smith in London's
• 0:24
  world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:40
  Hi, it's. Adam here.
• 0:41
  And you're about to listen to a hypnosis session that was
• 0:45
  created for a client. That was.
• 0:47
  On the receiving end of an attempt of cancel culture.
• 0:52
  In their past. They said something, it was
• 0:55
  taken out of context. It then went through a process
• 0:58
  where their whole livelihood was at stake and that was very
• 1:01
  traumatising for them. I was working with them at a
• 1:05
  point where. Something else was.
• 1:07
  Happening that was leading to an element of, let's say
• 1:12
  investigation. It wasn't as extreme as the
• 1:15
  past. But because they.
• 1:16
  Had that past, they were very on edge, very anxious, and they had
• 1:21
  a presentation to certain key people that they were worried
• 1:25
  that because of their past, they were going to come across as
• 1:28
  very defensive or anxious or, you know, kind of on edge and
• 1:32
  they didn't want to be that way. So this hypnosis session has an
• 1:36
  element of finding resource states, giving a different
• 1:41
  perspective and narrative to the past, harnessing resource states
• 1:45
  from a time when they were very calm and confident and focused
• 1:49
  and then. Future pacing that.
• 1:51
  In a form of performance anxiety hypnosis.
• 1:54
  So they could actually use it in the very context that would be
• 1:57
  useful, which was this upcoming presentation.
• 2:00
  Now I think anyone that has been on the receiving end of a bit of
• 2:03
  a witch hunt will get some value from this because they could
• 2:07
  think back to the past and extract more wisdom from it,
• 2:09
  give it a different narrative. But some of the suggestions are
• 2:12
  going to be highly specific to the client that I was working
• 2:15
  with. So if you.
• 2:16
  Are dealing with either performance anxiety for an
• 2:19
  upcoming presentation or feeling like you're being.
• 2:22
  Ambushed or there's. Politics going on that you're on
• 2:25
  the receiving end of. Then there will be a link in the
• 2:28
  description where you can book a free consultation call to
• 2:32
  explore working with me directly, and then we can have
• 2:34
  that conversation about what it would mean to create something
• 2:37
  specifically for you. For now, though, you might get
• 2:40
  some value from this session even though it was created for
• 2:43
  someone else. So find a quiet, comfortable
• 2:46
  place, ideally in the kind of location where you're not going
• 2:48
  to be. Disturbed, relax and enjoy the
• 2:51
  session. Take a deep breath in and as you
• 3:14
  breathe in, breathe in that feeling of resourcefulness and
• 3:20
  as you exhale, feel the sense of release, releasing any tension
• 3:26
  in your eyelids and just enabling any tension to leave
• 3:31
  your body. As you exhale, breathing in,
• 3:36
  relaxation and exhaling tension. Each breath takes you deeper and
• 3:48
  deeper, relaxed. That's it.
• 3:51
  And I want you to scan your body or any clues of tension, stress,
• 3:59
  any tightness as you breathe in. Just imagine a colour that
• 4:07
  represents pure resourceful relaxation, maybe a calming blue
• 4:17
  or a soothing white. And just imagine breathing in
• 4:21
  that resourceful relaxation. Imagine it going down your
• 4:26
  windpipe into your lungs. And just imagine what it would
• 4:31
  be like for your heart to extract that resourceful
• 4:34
  relaxation and to distribute it to every cell in your body.
• 4:42
  As you feel your body starting to release tension, as your body
• 4:47
  relaxes, your breathing slows down, your inward breath becomes
• 4:53
  deeper, and your exhale is elongated.
• 5:01
  Breathing in that distilled, resourceful relaxation.
• 5:06
  And as you exhale, just imagine any echoes of worries, tension,
• 5:14
  stress or insecurities just leaving your body like a shadow.
• 5:23
  Breathing in the lightness, darkness leaving your body.
• 5:27
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper, relaxed, and as your
• 5:33
  body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 5:38
  And just imagine keeping your body exactly where it is and
• 5:44
  allow your imagination to float up outside of your body, almost
• 5:49
  like you're looking down on yourself.
• 5:52
  But it's just your imagination. You can float through ceilings,
• 5:57
  through a rooftop. Just imagine floating through
• 6:01
  space and time to a forest on a sunny day.
• 6:09
  Maybe you can imagine floating over towns, roads, villages,
• 6:16
  rivers or streams and find your way to that forest.
• 6:22
  And as you touchdown in the forest, perhaps near a track,
• 6:27
  just imagine you're wearing whatever clothing is suitable to
• 6:31
  be there in that forest. And I want you to connect
• 6:36
  without feeling of stillness, quietness, that ability to
• 6:44
  breathe in such a way that it's almost silent, like your
• 6:50
  diaphragm is doing all the work. The breath goes in through your
• 6:54
  nose and out through your nose, and the world doesn't know.
• 7:02
  I want you to imagine there in that forest, perhaps you can see
• 7:07
  sunshine and blue skies through the canopy.
• 7:11
  Maybe you can imagine hearing the sounds of birds, the breeze
• 7:17
  going through leaves in the trees.
• 7:21
  Maybe there's smells that are unique to that forest.
• 7:27
  But I want you to connect with the stillness that that part of
• 7:35
  you that knows how to be relaxed and calm, but still very aware.
• 7:48
  In fact, as your physical body becomes silent, your sensory
• 7:54
  acuity, your hearing, your attention to detail increases.
• 8:04
  So if there is a sound of something like a deer, you'll
• 8:08
  know. And I want you to feel that
• 8:12
  sense of alignment, connection, where time is distorted.
• 8:18
  And when you connect to that place, let me know by nodding
• 8:26
  your head. That's it.
• 8:32
  Continue to breathe in that distilled, resourceful
• 8:35
  relaxation. But I want you to imagine
• 8:42
  somewhere in this forest is a portal.
• 8:49
  Could think of the portal as a way of migrating through space
• 8:56
  and time. A portal can be whatever you
• 9:01
  want it to be, a glowing spiral, a science fiction portal, or a
• 9:09
  portal like Alice Through the Looking Glass.
• 9:16
  But I want you to imagine that this portal can take you back in
• 9:21
  time at your current age, to observe the past with new eyes,
• 9:26
  new perspective. And the portal will first take
• 9:32
  you to what could be the most challenging time of your life.
• 9:38
  Uncertainty, unfairness, politics, agendas.
• 9:47
  But you will go back feeling resourceful.
• 9:51
  You will go back feeling confident.
• 9:56
  And you have a singular mission, and that is to extract all of
• 10:02
  the wisdom from that past. Imagine approaching the portal,
• 10:10
  and as I count down from 5 to 1, you will imagine walking through
• 10:15
  the portal and becoming an invisible entity in that past.
• 10:22
  You can observe everything but nobody will know you are there.
• 10:27
  5 standing in front of the portal, 4 taking a step forward,
• 10:32
  three walking through the portal, 2 feeling a weird sense
• 10:39
  of travel in A4 dimensional way through space and time, and then
• 10:45
  one arriving at this place in time.
• 10:51
  And I wonder what part you return to.
• 10:58
  Maybe a moment before something happens, before words are said,
• 11:05
  before words are misconstrued or even hijacked.
• 11:12
  Just observe it as it happens. But like a fly on the wall, an
• 11:19
  external observer notice things you didn't notice at the time
• 11:28
  and then almost see like a single domino hitting another,
• 11:33
  hitting a number, what the chain reaction of that initial event
• 11:37
  was. You can speed up time.
• 11:45
  You can see what took place over weeks or months within seconds
• 11:49
  or minutes. But with this new perspective, I
• 11:55
  want you to think, knowing what I now know, what would I do
• 12:01
  differently? And I want you to imagine
• 12:07
  rewinding it at the very point where words are said.
• 12:12
  Rewind it before that and extract your current wisdom into
• 12:17
  that version of you and see what they do differently.
• 12:23
  Almost like a parallel universe where a new reality is created
• 12:30
  and then play that forward. See that version of you with
• 12:33
  your current wisdom, applying it in that context.
• 12:38
  And if it changes history, creating a new timeline, let me
• 12:41
  know by nodding your head. That's it.
• 12:47
  And just allow that parallel universe to exist.
• 12:51
  We go back to what actually happened, keep what actually
• 12:54
  happened in the conversation the same, but then observe the point
• 13:01
  where things get escalated, where the whirring of a machine
• 13:06
  of cancel culture starts in motion, and just assume you
• 13:12
  can't change what led up to that point, but you can change it
• 13:17
  from that point onwards. Observe what happened and then
• 13:27
  rewind it, maybe to a specific moment where certain wisdom or
• 13:37
  resources if given to that version of you.
• 13:41
  Perhaps. Would have still led to the same
• 13:43
  outcome with less stress, less worry, less anxiety.
• 13:51
  And when you find that crossroads, that intervention
• 13:56
  point, let me know by nodding your head.
• 14:02
  Extract the wisdom you now have to that moment and see that
• 14:06
  version of you dealing with things differently.
• 14:13
  The outcome may remain the same, but the emotional impact on you
• 14:18
  is different. I want you to see yourself with
• 14:25
  different qualities during that period of time.
• 14:29
  Maybe you see yourself as more stoic, accepting certain things,
• 14:37
  See yourself almost utilizing some of the challenges.
• 14:44
  Maybe it gives you resilience. They say the strongest and
• 14:50
  tallest trees weather the fiercest storms.
• 14:54
  And I want you to see that by adding just one quality, one
• 14:59
  resource, one perspective, that version of you is emboldened,
• 15:06
  strengthened, empowered through the injustice.
• 15:12
  You didn't want it, you didn't choose it, you didn't deserve
• 15:15
  it, but you are harnessing it. And if you can see that version
• 15:21
  of you harnessing the injustice, the unfairness, let me know
• 15:26
  about nodding your head. That's it.
• 15:32
  I want you to get a sense Then. Sometimes past can create a
• 15:43
  sensitivity, a vigilance, A caution.
• 15:52
  But what if the anxiety doesn't improve things?
• 15:57
  What if it makes things worse? I want you to come to a
• 16:02
  conclusion, A narrative. Not that if that thing happened,
• 16:08
  Oh no, it's happening again. A different narrative.
• 16:15
  If I can handle that, I can handle anything.
• 16:20
  If you feel that you can extract a new empowering narrative to
• 16:25
  that past event, nod your head and feel that narrative updating
• 16:33
  from that timeline all the way to the present, rippling through
• 16:39
  space and time, giving you that strength, that resilience, that
• 16:45
  wisdom in the present. You are not weakened by that,
• 16:51
  you are strengthened by it. The strongest steel is beaten
• 16:58
  the most. I want you to feel stronger now.
• 17:06
  I want you to imagine leaving. Leaving that moment in time,
• 17:12
  back through the portal, but instead of returning to your
• 17:16
  present, you will return to a time when you were at your most
• 17:20
  confident, calm, focused, or authoritative.
• 17:28
  A time when you held your own. A time when you articulated
• 17:32
  things in the way that made sense.
• 17:37
  No weakness, no defensiveness. Your unconscious will take you
• 17:43
  to a relevant memory. And as I count, from 5:00 to
• 17:47
  1:00, you will imagine walking through the portal and finding
• 17:51
  that memory. 5 Standing in front of the portal 4 Willing to leave
• 17:59
  that past, now with a new strong narrative. 3 Walking through the
• 18:05
  portal. 2 Feeling a sense of being transported and
• 18:10
  travelling, and then one arriving again.
• 18:15
  An invisible entity. Nobody can see you, nobody knows
• 18:19
  you're there, but you get to see everything.
• 18:24
  And I want you to see that version of you oozing
• 18:27
  confidence, a calmness, that level of focus, and that ability
• 18:39
  to be authoritative without arrogant, to be knowledgeable
• 18:46
  without demeaning to any others, powerful yet not patronizing.
• 18:53
  And when you can find that version of you, observe them in
• 19:00
  that moment, see how they breathe, their facial
• 19:06
  expressions, their posture. And I want you to play that game
• 19:10
  of mimicry. Breathe how that version of you
• 19:15
  is breathing. I have that similar facial
• 19:19
  expression or posture. That's it.
• 19:24
  And I want you to imagine seeing a glowing circle beneath them
• 19:34
  and allow this circle to represent this state.
• 19:39
  And if your unconscious feels that this state then would be
• 19:42
  useful for something for you in the future, let me know by
• 19:45
  nodding your head. That's it.
• 19:49
  And then step into that version of you feel how it feels.
• 19:55
  And not to observe, but to experience that confidence, that
• 20:00
  calmness. Notice your centre of gravity
• 20:06
  when you feel this way. Are you breathing from the chest
• 20:11
  or the diaphragm? What muscles are tense and what
• 20:16
  muscles are relaxed? How tight is your jaw?
• 20:21
  Is there any in the dialogue? Consider this state a
• 20:28
  combination log of thoughts, sensations, and Physiology.
• 20:39
  And as you decode that combination log, let's give it a
• 20:44
  way of harnessing and automatically creating this
• 20:49
  state whenever you need it. I want you to locate a place in
• 20:55
  your body where you feel these resources at their most powerful
• 21:00
  and just point to that location. That's it.
• 21:10
  And I want you to imagine what it would be like if there was a
• 21:17
  shape or a colour there in that location, as we create a
• 21:25
  mnemonic to harness this whenever you need it, A3
• 21:32
  dimensional shape in that location, give it a colour and
• 21:38
  then make the colour glow brighter, make the shape
• 21:41
  slightly larger and notice if the shape moves, spins,
• 21:47
  pulsates. And I want you to amplify the
• 21:53
  colour, the size and the movement so that it amplifies
• 21:57
  this feeling. But you get diminishing returns.
• 22:03
  The colour gets too bright, the feeling goes down, the shape
• 22:08
  gets too big. Instead of enhancing confidence,
• 22:11
  it reduces it. And I want you to find the
• 22:15
  optimal size, shape, colour and movement and then give it a
• 22:21
  sound. Maybe it's a sound, like a
• 22:26
  vibration of frequency, and just feel that this is a useful
• 22:33
  state. That glowing circle beneath your
• 22:39
  feet, Turn it into a cylinder, like a beam surrounding you,
• 22:44
  bathing in this feeling. And notice that if you need to
• 22:51
  talk in this state, how articulate, how confident, how
• 22:55
  measured you come across, if this feels like it might be
• 23:00
  useful in your future, and let me know by nodding your head,
• 23:05
  that's in. And whenever you think of that
• 23:09
  shape in that location, that beam of light in that specific
• 23:14
  shade of colour, you'll start to feel this way again.
• 23:21
  So we're going to go through the portal one final time, but this
• 23:26
  time the future, a specific time and place in your future where
• 23:34
  this resource would be most useful for you to come across in
• 23:39
  the way that you wish to come across.
• 23:43
  Maybe it's a room with a table, with a projector and with a
• 23:48
  screen, or maybe something else. Make your way to the portal, but
• 23:57
  still keeping this feeling you're having that beam of light
• 24:04
  all around you, and as you walk through the portal you will find
• 24:10
  yourself again as that invisible observer to a meeting. 5
• 24:19
  standing in front of the portal. 4 stepping towards the portal. 3
• 24:24
  into the portal. 2 Feel travelling through space and
• 24:31
  time and then one arriving in a future that hasn't happened yet.
• 24:38
  I want you to see yourself arriving for a meeting.
• 24:42
  See how you're dressed, see how your posture is.
• 24:48
  But you notice something that gives you a sense of a
• 24:53
  perspective, that this version of you is calm and relaxed.
• 24:58
  Maybe it's the way that you're sitting, the way that you're
• 25:02
  drinking, maybe a glass of water or a hot drink.
• 25:12
  Certain mannerisms let you know that you are not fazed by this.
• 25:18
  You relish this Nothing. Can break your.
• 25:24
  Focus or you're calm. Maybe see yourself at a table
• 25:31
  close to a laptop, but that version of you.
• 25:35
  See that glowing circle beneath your feet?
• 25:40
  See a shape in a particular location, almost like you have
• 25:44
  X-ray vision. See it there in you and there
• 25:51
  might be clues as to your facial expression.
• 25:55
  Small talk, a relaxed smile before your presentation starts.
• 26:00
  But when it starts, I want you to see see how composed you come
• 26:07
  across. There will be clues to your
• 26:14
  breathing rate based on shoulder movements, maybe your diaphragm
• 26:20
  expanding. That version of you reads the
• 26:25
  room. Well, that version of you has a
• 26:29
  singular mission and that mission is not to seek
• 26:33
  permission or even approval. Maybe it's to educate, Maybe
• 26:42
  it's to share knowledge. Whatever mission is most
• 26:46
  empowering. See that version of you with
• 26:48
  that singular mission. And you are not the imposter in
• 26:54
  the room. You are the one eyed king
• 27:01
  because in the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
• 27:06
  That version of you has more knowledge, more understanding on
• 27:12
  that topic than anyone else in that room.
• 27:18
  And see yourself acting with that level of credibility and
• 27:23
  authority. Slow and measured.
• 27:30
  There is no tonality that is seeking permission or approval.
• 27:35
  Factual, articulate, confident. And I want you to see that it
• 27:45
  doesn't matter the facial expressions or body language of
• 27:51
  anyone else in that room. Arms crossed?
• 27:59
  Doesn't matter. Disinterested look doesn't
• 28:04
  matter. Nothing that can happen in that
• 28:07
  room can faze you. And when you observe that, let
• 28:13
  me know by nodding your head and then rewind it to the beginning
• 28:19
  and then step into that version of you, bringing those resources
• 28:24
  of confidence, calmness, focus and authority, oozing
• 28:29
  credibility. You can feel that beam of light
• 28:36
  bathing all around you. That sound, that colour, that
• 28:42
  shape, that movement lets you know that you are in a state
• 28:48
  where you are unflappable. Nothing can phase you.
• 28:54
  You relish this, you live for this.
• 28:58
  And when you feel that way, just imagine.
• 29:03
  The right words come at the right time.
• 29:08
  Your tonality's strong and confident.
• 29:13
  You run through your presentation exactly as you
• 29:16
  intend to, and any questions you deal with them in a calm, clear,
• 29:25
  confident way. Don't.
• 29:31
  You feel that? This would be useful and you
• 29:35
  feel that you're priming the very normal pathways to activate
• 29:38
  this state in that context. Let me know by nodding your
• 29:42
  head, and don't be surprised if when you think of that future
• 29:51
  moment, you imagine that version of you either as a third person
• 29:57
  or first person, there, relishing it, not fazed by it,
• 30:04
  not daunted by it. Consider this to be planting a
• 30:14
  seed in your subconscious mind. It will grow the closer it gets
• 30:19
  to that moment in time. And as the day arrives, this is
• 30:24
  the state you will activate. And just imagine being in that
• 30:31
  first person perspective, hearing dismissive questions,
• 30:44
  seeing unimpressed facial expressions or arms folded.
• 30:52
  And I want you to get a sense that all it does is galvanized
• 30:55
  your resources, encourages you to be even more calm and
• 31:01
  confident. It's time to leave this place.
• 31:07
  And as you leave this place, you go through the portal and find
• 31:14
  yourself hovering over your body, looking down exactly where
• 31:19
  you are now. As very soon I count from 1:00
• 31:23
  to 10:00 to awaken you. And you will awaken with all the
• 31:29
  wisdom from your past and all the resources in your future.
• 31:34
  Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 31:40
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 31:44
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 31:47
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 31:52
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 31:58
  456, more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 32:02
  Open your eyes, 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 32:07
  awake. Thank you so much for joining me
