Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside

access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine
0:07
issues. Brought to you by the
0:10
hypnotherapist, demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even
0:14
royalty. Adam Cox.
0:16
These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
0:19
world famous Harley Street. This podcast features powerful
0:23
hypnosis, so do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
0:27
This recording is not suitable for those with epilepsy or
0:30
severe mental health issues, so get yourself comfortable and
0:34
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
0:47
Hi Adam here. You're about to listen to a
0:50
hypnosis session that is all about reducing alcohol.
0:55
Not eliminating alcohol, just reducing it significantly.
1:01
And that's because a lot of people don't.
1:03
Have the desire. To be teetotal, they don't want
1:06
to be a non drinker, but they are aware that excessive
1:10
drinking can lead to physical issues, health issues.
1:16
It could be weight issues as well because there's a lot of
1:18
calories in alcoholic drinks and for some.
1:21
People. Beyond a certain threshold, they
1:24
might do things they regret and that might be texting someone,
1:28
it might be saying something, it might be doing something that
1:31
they later regret or are embarrassed by.
1:35
So this is about reducing the amount of alcohol consumed.
1:40
And I was working with a client that actually did quite like non
1:44
alcoholic drinks, particularly non alcoholic lagers.
1:48
So we have here a hypnosis session linked to an idea, which
1:53
is a behavioral psychology idea and that is doing certain things
1:58
differently that then can become an automatic habit.
2:03
And this particular client, given that they liked alcohol
2:06
free drinks, wanted to make the first drink in certain
2:10
situations, non alcoholic, giving them the option but
2:14
without the obligation to having an alcoholic drink.
2:18
And typically when they would go out, they would go out for
2:20
maybe, you know, 3 or 4 drinks. So making the first drink,
2:25
perhaps even the second non alcoholic, or then alternating
2:29
drinks from alcoholic to non alcoholic would actually mean
2:32
that they would reduce the amount of alcohol they consume
2:35
by a dramatic amount, giving them some of the benefits that
2:39
they wanted. A clearer.
2:40
Head the next day, more energy and a feeling of being able to
2:45
concentrate and focus more. So if you can connect and
2:49
resonate with any of those benefits, this might be a useful
2:53
session for you. I have lots of other recordings
2:57
about being a non drinker quitting alcohol for good.
3:02
This isn't about that, it's just about reducing the amount by
3:05
introducing non alcoholic drinks and slowing the speed of
3:09
drinking. Obviously linked to hypnosis.
3:14
This was created for an individual entirely customized
3:18
to their situation and and their goals.
3:21
And if you like the idea of working with me directly, that's
3:24
also a possibility for you. If you look in the description,
3:28
you will see a link to book a free consultation call where we
3:32
can have a chat about working together.
3:35
But for now, you might benefit from this hypnosis session.
3:38
And the ideal way to get the most value from this session is
3:41
to find a quiet, comfortable place, ideally the kind of place
3:46
where you won't be interrupted or disturbed, and then relax and
3:49
just enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in, and as
4:38
you breathe in, breathe in that slow, long, relaxing breath.
4:46
And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to feel more and
4:56
more comfortably relaxed, feeling that tension, stress and
5:02
worries, but just leaving your body every time you exhale,
5:13
breathing in and breathing out. And as you get comfortable now,
5:23
you might begin to notice your breathing, perhaps a little
5:29
slower, or perhaps a little deeper.
5:37
Or maybe it just stays the same because there's really no right
5:44
or wrong way, just your own way of settling in.
5:58
And some people, when they listen, begin to feel a slight
6:05
heaviness of the eyelids or a pleasant relaxation through the
6:14
shoulders, while others simply notice how thoughts can drift
6:25
just like leaves on a gentle river floating along.
6:34
And you might already be wondering just how deeply you'll
6:41
relax today, because every breath you take can guide you
6:51
deeper, deeper and even further into this gentle learning state.
7:06
And the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become.
7:14
And the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.
7:19
And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens, and in that
7:32
place inside that has awoken, that place that knows how to
7:38
protect you, how to guide you, perhaps you can begin to explore
7:48
an idea. An idea that gives you more
7:53
freedom, not less. Because some people, when they
8:07
think about a drink, they find it interesting to simply say to
8:15
themselves, not right now, not yet, or maybe later.
8:27
And somehow those simple words create a spacious feeling
8:35
inside, as if a window opens, letting in fresh air.
8:48
And you may find that it's surprisingly satisfying to reach
8:55
first for a different choice. Crisp, cold, non alcoholic beer.
9:08
Maybe there's one that comes to mind.
9:12
See the colour of the label and the name, even the sound it
9:19
makes when the bottle is opened. Or perhaps it's an alcohol free
9:30
gin with tonic or a refreshing minty virgin mojito.
9:40
And your body, your unconscious mind, can realise how cravings
9:50
can soften and melt simply by making that first choice a
9:59
little different. From this point onwards, you
10:06
will find that because delay isn't deprivation, you connect
10:14
it with more freedom, more choices.
10:20
You get to have your cake and eat it because you get to still
10:26
enjoy alcohol every now and then while losing weight and while
10:33
improving your health. Because every time you have a
10:40
non alcoholic drink, first you are reminding yourself that you
10:47
have the freedom to choose on your terms in your time.
10:57
This isn't a project to manage, this is you enjoying your free
11:05
time. And every time you have a non
11:10
alcoholic drink first, you are proving to yourself that you can
11:15
enjoy your free time without needing alcohol and that gives
11:22
you more choices, not less. The more you practice delaying,
11:32
the more effortless it becomes. Each pause, each moment of maybe
11:41
later feat was like a small but powerful success.
11:50
And what if small successes build into strong, powerful
11:57
habits, The kind of habits that just feel like they've always
12:03
been that way, That you don't need to think about following
12:10
rules and regulations, but when you have that first drink as a
12:16
non alcoholic drink, you increase the probability that
12:21
the second will also be non alcoholic.
12:29
And what if maybe by the time it comes to that third drink, you
12:36
just don't want to have any alcohol at that point anyway?
12:44
And you might even notice how certain people feel that if
12:52
they're drinking, that you have to drink also.
12:58
But you also know from past reasons and explanations just
13:06
how certain people respond reasonably to credible reasons.
13:14
Because they do, don't they? When someone says I'm pacing
13:20
myself, I'm good for now, I'm driving, I have a condition, I
13:32
have something important to do tomorrow and I want to be alert.
13:39
People tend to nod and accept and you you feel completely
13:49
comfortable expressing your reasons when you want to easily,
13:57
naturally without explanation if you don't feel like it.
14:07
Just because you can give a reason doesn't mean you have to.
14:13
You have permission to do what you want to do, irrespective of
14:23
whether other people are OK with that or not.
14:31
And in the places you go or the places you find yourself when
14:36
you would normally drink, your mind might already be imagining
14:42
future moments. Perhaps you can imagine yourself
14:49
at home, but before you pour that glass of wine, imagine
14:56
reaching calmly for a bex blew from the fridge.
15:03
Maybe you feel refreshed. Maybe it just quenches that need
15:10
for what would have been an alcoholic drink.
15:16
I want you to get a sense that whenever you do that, you'll
15:20
notice how that simple choice sets the tone for what then
15:26
follows. Or maybe you can imagine
15:30
yourself in a pub or a restaurant where that non
15:35
alcoholic beer feels just right to start with.
15:42
A wise and easy choice. And perhaps you can imagine it
15:49
feeling like it does what it needs to do.
15:55
Quenches of thirst satisfies a craving or perhaps starts to
16:03
turn a gauge or pull down a lever.
16:10
I want you to get a sense then certain things don't need an off
16:16
switch. I want you to get a sense that
16:20
whenever you have an non alcoholic drink, your desire to
16:25
have an alcoholic drink goes down, and whenever you have an
16:31
alcoholic drink, the desire to have another alcoholic drink in
16:36
a row goes down even more. So whether you drink alcohol or
16:44
non alcohol, the more you drink the less you want to drink.
16:51
As you feel that certain things have an automatic off switch,
17:00
you can perhaps think of something like ATV screen or a
17:05
laptop. After a certain amount of time,
17:11
it automatically switches itself off.
17:17
I want you to get a sense that your off switch will be
17:22
automatic from the very first sip of a non alcoholic or
17:29
alcoholic drink. It sets an automatic timer
17:37
whereas time or drinks go by. The off switch is on its way,
17:45
giving you the ability to enjoy an evening without feeling that
17:52
one drink will lead to another, will lead to another, which then
17:56
leads to feeling like a hangover the following day.
18:01
This automatic off switch and this desire to drink non
18:07
alcoholic drinks first means you get to enjoy an evening without
18:15
spoiling it. I want you to imagine yourself
18:21
at a friend's house, perhaps the kind of friend that feels that
18:27
if they're drinking, you should be drinking too.
18:31
But I want you to imagine yourself at this friend's house
18:35
where the very first drink you enjoy is alcohol free.
18:42
And maybe you give a reason and maybe you don't, but I want you
18:47
to imagine it feels comfortable to have that non alcoholic
18:54
drink. Maybe it gives you a sense of
18:59
calm, satisfaction and self respect.
19:06
A feeling that you are playing by your rules, nobody else's.
19:16
And you know that the more you practice this, the more natural
19:21
it becomes. Until it's just the way things
19:25
are, automatic, effortless and free.
19:35
Because with each not yet and each maybe later.
19:42
And every. Not right now.
19:47
You are teaching and training your mind a new way of feeling
19:52
strong and in control, a new way of being free, a new way of
20:00
enjoying life even more fully. And as the days turn into weeks
20:06
and the weeks turn into months. The habit feels easier and
20:12
easier. Don't be surprised if while your
20:18
sense of freedom increases, your weight decreases, your mental
20:27
clarity becomes sharper, and your health and vitality
20:33
supercharges. And the more you notice these
20:37
benefits, the more it rewards this new habit and pattern that
20:45
you're building. Feel how good it would feel in
20:52
advance. A new way of being free.
20:55
A new way of enjoying life even more fully.
20:59
Especially because you're doing it on your terms.
21:08
And you don't need to remember everything I've said
21:11
consciously, because your unconscious mind has already
21:17
begun making those adjustments for you.
21:22
You can already imagine situations before you get to
21:25
them. Ordering, arranging or
21:31
requesting that first non alcoholic drink.
21:37
And it's more likely that your second drink will also be non
21:40
alcoholic than alcoholic. These changes are happening
21:48
inside, in just the right way, at just the right speed.
21:57
But it's time to leave this place in your imagination and to
22:02
return to the present. So take a deep breath in through
22:07
your nose and out through your nose.
22:13
Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
22:16
Start to connect and calibrate with the here and the now.
22:20
It's very soon. I count from 1:00 to 10:00 to
22:23
awaken you. You will awaken feeling free,
22:33
feeling that you have choices, that you don't need willpower,
22:41
you just need to experiment, to break some patterns until you
22:46
find the new habit that is exactly as you would want it to
22:51
be. Starting to account to awaken
22:56
you. 123 Waking up 456 More alert 7-8 Open your eyes, open
23:04
your eyes. 910 wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
