The Hypnotist: Impostor Syndrome Hypnosis - to be yourself
People increasingly resort to 'Alter Ego's to develop a resilient or 'tough guy' persona: possibly resulting from criticism in childhood or difficult experiences in adolescence. Being true to oneself calls for having the internal resources to build emotional resilience, for developing coping strategies to deal with those difficult times. Using analogies and metaphors, Adam Cox looks through those facades to find a resilience based on honesty.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis for Overeating and Self Control
Excess intake over Christmas and the New Year often leads to constraint in January, but how best to exercise self-control? Adam Cox helps to temper that urge to overeat by resorting to a technique called 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming', through which those compulsions can be collapsed as a result of switching them to a disassociated third person.

The Hypnotist: The Free Wolf in the Wilderness
For many people, there's a continuing internal struggle between the need for comfort and security and the yearning for freedom and adventure, but once settled into the former it can be difficult to face the risks and unknowns of the latter. Doubts about capability and resources can take over, and thoughts about taking a different path can be very challenging. It's really about re-building one's self-belief, and Adam Cox uses hypnotic analogies in order to help you find that confidence.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis for a Fear of Wind and Storms
A sense of anxiety about winds and storms can be very worrying, and there's plenty of them around this winter, strengthened by climate change. However some of that fear can be rooted in long-term phobias from the past, and this episode helps to put today's challenging weather forecasts in a new perspective.

The Hypnotist: The Calm and Empowered Transition to Retirement
For those who experienced the transition to 'retirement' during the pandemic lock-downs and working from home, it probably did feel calm and empowering (notwithstanding anxiety over the virus itself) — however, for many people it can feel more like a cliff-edge. This episode helps you to let go of the stresses and anxiety of the workplace and plan for that new chapter in your life: it's called 'future pacing'. The Christmas/New Year break is a great time to build a compelling version of your future.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis to Speak Your Truth
Teenage experience often encourages a mindset of not showing one's vulnerabilities or true expressions in order to evidence a confidence or tough exterior, hiding the true self. This episode looks back to those earlier times in order to develop resources for today for a different outlook on life, one that allows that true self to come through.

The Hypnotist: Avoiding an Undesirable Future
Over-consumption in the present can lead to an undesireable future. Whether excess eating or drinking is caused by stress or anything else, there's no point in devaluing your future, risking the loss of energy or confidence and increased exposure to illness and medical problems. So in this episode Adam sets a new cross-roads symbolism for weighing up those choices, and helps to build a more positive outlook. In a sense, that's what the whole country needs to do as we struggle with the legacy of having committed £400 billion for getting through the pandemic. All that money spent on furlough and other measures have escalated the public sector debt pile to levels which point to a seriously undesirable future for the years ahead, but are stealth taxes the way to build a more positive outlook?
