  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
  You may have heard of UTI's, also known as urinary tract
• 0:44
  infections. And normally they don't last
• 0:47
  very long and you have a course of antibiotics or lots of
• 0:51
  cranberry juice and they tend to go away.
• 0:53
  But you can have chronic UTI's and these are things where they
• 0:58
  don't just go away and you have the symptoms over a long period
• 1:01
  of time. And it can have sensations like
• 1:03
  pain or a feeling of needing to go to the toilet a lot.
• 1:06
  They're in the bladder and it's very, very unpleasant.
• 1:10
  My name is Adam and I was working with a client that had
• 1:13
  chronic UTI's and it was affecting their sleep, it was
• 1:15
  affecting their mood, and it was really depriving them of hope
• 1:19
  and confidence and the ability to make plans and just enjoy
• 1:23
  life. This session utilizes some of
• 1:27
  the unconscious metaphors that this client had, like going back
• 1:31
  to square one or everything crashing down.
• 1:34
  It uses the client's own metaphors but twist them into an
• 1:39
  empowering way. Going back to square one has the
• 1:42
  connotation that life is like a game of snakes and ladders and
• 1:46
  one thing happens and then you lose every bit of progress
• 1:50
  you've already made. Which is why in this session,
• 1:53
  the snakes in this snakes and ladders board get smaller, the
• 1:56
  ladders get taller, and they feel more empowered to make
• 1:59
  progress. One of the key things with a
• 2:02
  long term health condition is feeling that hope is still
• 2:06
  there. And that's because the opposite
• 2:09
  of hope is not only hopelessness, but helplessness,
• 2:13
  a feeling that whatever you try, nothing's going to work.
• 2:16
  And that's why having a compelling vision of the future
• 2:19
  is such an important element of the healing process.
• 2:22
  There's lots of healing metaphors in there.
• 2:24
  So even if you don't have a chronic UTI, but maybe you have
• 2:28
  a different chronic health condition, lots of these
• 2:31
  suggestions here should be quite useful for you.
• 2:35
  However, some of the suggestions are very, very specific to the
• 2:39
  client. Their favorite beach had a
• 2:41
  particular type of tree. Certain metaphors they use, but
• 2:44
  you might use the same metaphors.
• 2:47
  Therefore, if you like the idea of having a tailored, bespoke
• 2:51
  hypnosis session for you and your circumstances, your
• 2:54
  situation, in the description, you're going to find a link to
• 2:58
  book a free consultation call over Zoom.
• 3:01
  We'll have a chat and it might be that I'm the right
• 3:03
  hypnotherapist to help you with your progress in whichever area
• 3:07
  is what you're looking to make progress in.
• 3:10
  For now though, you might get some value from this session, so
• 3:13
  find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:16
  Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
• 3:48
  you breathe in, breathe in a wonderful feeling of calm, a
• 3:56
  feeling of relaxation, and breathe in that calm relaxation.
• 4:04
  And as you exhale, give permission to release feelings
• 4:12
  of stress, frustration, maybe even anger or annoyance.
• 4:21
  Just allow it to leave your body as you breathe out, as you
• 4:30
  breathe in that calm relaxation, just allow your eyelids to relax
• 4:36
  even more, feeling heavier. Scan all the muscles in your
• 4:41
  face, around your cheeks, your chin, your jaw, your forehead,
• 4:47
  and set the intention to release any tension.
• 4:54
  That's it. It's natural when people going
• 4:59
  through difficult times, but that vigilant part of their
• 5:04
  brain that fight or flight is activated, which creates more
• 5:11
  tension, more stress. But when you feel tense and
• 5:16
  stressed, you tend to have less energy remaining for healing and
• 5:23
  recuperation. So right here, right now, get
• 5:30
  permission to let go. Let go of any tension, any
• 5:39
  stress, any worries, and maybe there's clues.
• 5:46
  Your jaw starts to loosen, your cheek muscles feel heavier and
• 5:55
  feel that relaxation going down your neck into your shoulders.
• 6:00
  That's it. And I want you to imagine what a
• 6:06
  healing colour might look like. For some people it's bright
• 6:13
  white, like the centre of the sun.
• 6:17
  For other people it might be a soothing blue or a pastel green.
• 6:24
  Allow your unconscious mind to let you know what a healing
• 6:30
  soothing colour would be. And then as you breathe in,
• 6:36
  imagine breathing in and healing colour almost like a beam of
• 6:43
  light. Breathing in, that colour of
• 6:47
  light. Imagine it going down your
• 6:52
  windpipe, into your stomach, into your lungs, into your
• 6:58
  bladder, into your bones. Imagine these healing colour is
• 7:07
  going wherever it needs to. And they did experiments many
• 7:14
  years ago, but they told people that a pill would help defend
• 7:23
  against an infection. And then they measured the
• 7:28
  amount of white blood cells. And even though the pill was
• 7:35
  nothing at all, the white blood cell count increased, giving you
• 7:43
  evidence that the human body is capable of responding to
• 7:50
  suggestions and expectations and healing.
• 7:57
  So imagine as you breathe in that healing colour, it
• 8:02
  represents healing, hope and relaxation.
• 8:08
  And as you breathe out, imagine releasing some of the emotions
• 8:13
  you felt, Sadness, stress, any anger, frustration, any worries.
• 8:24
  And imagine that leaving your body as you breathe out like a
• 8:28
  dark shadow, breathing in and healing, relaxation and
• 8:37
  exhaling, the very things that can contribute to a body in
• 8:47
  defence. That's it.
• 8:50
  And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
• 8:57
  And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
• 9:04
  Each breath takes you deeper and deeper, relaxed.
• 9:09
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 9:13
  And I wonder if you could imagine a beach somewhere warm,
• 9:21
  somewhere peaceful, somewhere with golden yellow sands, with
• 9:30
  calm waters. And I want you to imagine what
• 9:38
  it would feel like to have that beach all for yourself.
• 9:44
  Imagine a blue sky, warm sunshine.
• 9:50
  But I want you to imagine the shade of a Beech almond tree and
• 9:59
  just imagine a big blanket there underneath the tree in the
• 10:05
  shade, the kind of shade that stays shade.
• 10:12
  And I wonder if you could imagine walking on that beach
• 10:18
  and placing your body on that blanket, feeling almost like the
• 10:25
  sand shifts to support your weight.
• 10:30
  Imagine hearing the gentle breaking of the waves.
• 10:36
  Imagine the feeling, the sensation of a gentle breeze.
• 10:45
  Maybe the smell of the sea air, but perhaps nearby smells,
• 10:54
  plants, fragrances. And as you imagine flying on
• 11:00
  that blanket, giving permission to just release, I want you to
• 11:09
  recall the time when you felt healthy, connected, that your
• 11:19
  body was working just as you wanted it to.
• 11:27
  And as the rhythmic sound of the waves meets the rhythm of your
• 11:32
  breathing, I wonder if your body begins to remember what safety
• 11:40
  feels like. A time when your nervous system
• 11:47
  didn't have to do anything, at a time when your muscles were
• 11:52
  loose and relaxed, at a time where your mind can just drift
• 11:58
  and play in the playground of your imagination.
• 12:06
  And I want you to come to the conclusion that every wave is a
• 12:13
  reminder that healing itself is a natural rhythm, sometimes
• 12:22
  rising and sometimes falling, but always returning to that
• 12:30
  state of calm. And with each exhale, connect
• 12:39
  that feeling of lightness, that feeling of being free,
• 12:47
  continuing to exhale any of those heavy emotions you've been
• 12:51
  holding onto and breathing in more of that relaxation, that
• 12:58
  hope, and that healing. I want you to feel that you are
• 13:05
  safe now that your mind begins to communicate with the body and
• 13:13
  the body listens. Imagine what it would feel like
• 13:19
  if your cells began to relax. How it would feel if your immune
• 13:25
  system balances and all the systems that once felt on guard
• 13:33
  start to cooperate again. Like a well rehearsed orchestra
• 13:40
  finding its harmony. And there under the tree,
• 13:48
  there's nothing you need to do, nothing you need to force.
• 13:53
  Just allow as you start to imagine that healing light
• 14:01
  there, there around your gut, your bladder, your intestines,
• 14:08
  the lower part of your abdomen, just imagine the healing light
• 14:14
  congregating at a cellular level, doing whatever is needed
• 14:23
  to remind the cells, the tissues, even enzymes and
• 14:29
  neurotransmitters what it was like before.
• 14:36
  Connect the resources of the past with the sensations of the
• 14:42
  present. That's it.
• 14:47
  As you start to feel that healing happens most easily when
• 14:53
  it's invited, not demanded. You've had times where you've
• 15:02
  scratched yourself, but you couldn't force the healing.
• 15:08
  The healing just happened, and then you only noticed that you'd
• 15:15
  healed when you stop noticing that you hadn't.
• 15:23
  And as your mind drifts deeper still, I want you to imagine
• 15:30
  perhaps there in the sky, a giant game board like Snakes and
• 15:37
  ladders. And sometimes we think of life
• 15:49
  like snakes and ladders. But sometimes when things don't
• 15:54
  go the way we want them to, it can feel like wheels coming off
• 16:00
  a go Kart, constantly needing to put them back on again only for
• 16:06
  them to fall back off. Or sometimes like that game of
• 16:11
  snakes and ladders, where sometimes it can feel that a
• 16:17
  flare or a set back since you're sliding all the way down a long
• 16:23
  snake back to square one when you started.
• 16:30
  But I want you to feel that that was never true.
• 16:34
  It can't ever be square 1 because you've learned too much
• 16:40
  between now and then. All of the wisdom, all of the
• 16:47
  strategies, all of the education and self-awareness.
• 16:54
  I want you to imagine that giant game board and all of the snakes
• 16:59
  are shrinking. There is no back to square one
• 17:02
  now. Even the longest snake only
• 17:06
  takes you back two or three rows.
• 17:11
  And as the snakes get smaller, the ladders get taller, because
• 17:19
  you now know what helps you more than you ever did before.
• 17:26
  That good quality sleep, certain treatments being believed and
• 17:33
  supported. They all help.
• 17:38
  And I want you to get a feeling that the game has never looked
• 17:44
  quite so favourable as it does now.
• 17:49
  Not only are the snakes smaller and the ladders taller, but you
• 17:54
  know exactly where they are, empowering you to avoid some of
• 18:00
  those snakes and seek out more of those ladders.
• 18:06
  As you imagine, winning this game is simply allowing your
• 18:13
  body to return to its natural, healthy state.
• 18:21
  That's it. You're wiser, better prepared.
• 18:27
  You see the patterns, the triggers, the early signs, and
• 18:32
  you know how to step around them and allow each ladder to
• 18:39
  represent a different way forward.
• 18:46
  Think of particular type of therapy that works for you,
• 18:53
  helping the body's own intelligence find and neutralize
• 18:57
  what needs to change. Another ladder may be good
• 19:03
  quality sleep, the body's natural medicine, repairing and
• 19:11
  restoring at every level, progress, hope, even a
• 19:24
  particular doctor that's supportive and helpful.
• 19:29
  They're all ladders, and every time you climb a ladder, your
• 19:35
  perspective expands and you can see how far you've come, even
• 19:44
  though squares you once feared now hold lessons that make you
• 19:50
  stronger. So now, if everything feels like
• 19:55
  it's crashing down, I want you to feel like you're protected by
• 20:01
  your own bunker. Even if things do crash down,
• 20:07
  you remain safe and protected. The game that once fell cruel or
• 20:16
  impossible to win is now feeling like growth, a journey, not
• 20:25
  punishment, as every roll of the dice moves you closer to healing
• 20:32
  and wholeness. And you can thank that part of
• 20:42
  you, the part that carried the anger, the fear, and the guilt.
• 20:48
  It was only trying to protect you.
• 20:52
  But give permission to that part to rest.
• 20:58
  Because a new part of you is emerging, a calmer, wiser, more
• 21:07
  compassionate self who knows that healing is happening even
• 21:14
  when unseen. Every breath you take teaches
• 21:22
  your body that it is safe to heal, and every moment of rest
• 21:29
  teaches your mind that it is safe to hope.
• 21:35
  And even when those setbacks come, you can meet them not with
• 21:43
  a feeling of frustration or devastation, but with a calm
• 21:48
  authority. I've been here before, I know
• 21:54
  what to do. This is temporary.
• 21:58
  I can manage. And as you hold those beliefs to
• 22:02
  be true, maybe you'll notice that the setbacks become
• 22:08
  shorter, the flares less frequent, and the recovery more
• 22:16
  rapid. The difficult times pass more
• 22:21
  quickly as their grip weakens and their echo fades.
• 22:29
  Because resilience is not about never failing, never having
• 22:36
  those setbacks. It's about surfing the waves of
• 22:42
  those setbacks faster, lighter, more tenacious each time.
• 22:57
  I want you to change that giant board of snakes and ladders now
• 23:03
  for a hologram of your future. And I wonder if you can imagine
• 23:09
  yourself maybe six months, perhaps a year into the future
• 23:14
  and observe yourself waking up looking lighter, feeling
• 23:20
  lighter, freer. Imagine stretching, seeing
• 23:27
  yourself with a quiet confidence in your body, almost like a
• 23:32
  trust that's been rebuilt. And maybe in that future you see
• 23:37
  yourself making plans again, holidays, work, travel, laughter
• 23:44
  with friends. But see yourself doing creative
• 23:50
  things, photography, time in nature, earning money again.
• 23:57
  See yourself looking purposeful, creative and alive.
• 24:02
  But crucially, see yourself doing the things that would feel
• 24:09
  challenging to have done in the past and yet get a sense that
• 24:14
  you are doing those things in your future.
• 24:20
  See yourself with more joy, more playful, fun conversations,
• 24:29
  family time that seems to feel light and free and happy.
• 24:37
  More laughter. I don't want you to get a sense
• 24:46
  you're seeing yourself spending more time behind that camera,
• 24:55
  immersed in a world where you get to see things that other
• 25:00
  people simply can't see. And I want you to get a sense
• 25:07
  that just like a powerful lens, you're zooming out of all of the
• 25:15
  pain and anguish and zooming in to that future.
• 25:24
  And maybe one day, far in the future, you look back on this
• 25:29
  period of your life, not as a fall, but as the time you
• 25:36
  learned just how powerful your body truly is, how strong your
• 25:44
  mind became, and how you evolved emotionally with more compassion
• 25:53
  or resilience, more inner resolve and strength.
• 26:02
  I want you to float into that future getting a feeling of what
• 26:06
  it would feel like to have that in advance, like you're setting
• 26:10
  the coordinates for your mind to know how to get to this place.
• 26:20
  Like the cross on a treasure map.
• 26:23
  This is now hard wired into where your unconscious mind is
• 26:26
  sending you into this future. Return to that shade under the
• 26:35
  tree. And I want you to feel that very
• 26:41
  soon. I will count from 1:00 to 10:00.
• 26:47
  And if you're listening to this at a time when you wish to
• 26:51
  awaken, when I arrive at 10, your eyes will open and you will
• 26:57
  awaken feeling fresh and rejuvenated with more hope and
• 27:02
  resilience. But if you're listening to this,
• 27:07
  perhaps in bed with your head on a pillow, as I count from one to
• 27:12
  10, the numbers will simply shift this experience into a
• 27:20
  stepping stone into deep, rejuvenating quality sleep.
• 27:27
  And you will awaken at the right time, perhaps the following
• 27:32
  morning, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, starting to count
• 27:41
  123, 456, 789 and 10. Thank you so much for joining me
