The Hypnotist: The Wardrobe of Audacity and Fearlessness
Imagine if you could reach into your wardrobe and select whatever emotional resource state you wished, in the same way as choosing what to wear? This episode draws on theories of behavioural psychology which enable a degree of self-control so that you can, for example, choose when to be fearless or when to have a high level of confidence. Needless to say, this is not just personal: marketeers use it deliberately to create an anchor designed to maximise their promotions.

The Hypnotist: The Bodyfat Powerbank
As a physical energy source, bodyfat can be compared to one of those electrical powerbanks you use as a reserve for your mobile phone or tablet: a store of energy for when you need it. When you reduce food consumption your bodyfat store will start delivering, but it's important to get the balance right. A calorie deficit and a low insulin environment is a reasonable approach, but vegetables providing fibre and water won't hold back the process of weight reduction, and will do you good. Bear in mind also that the brain uses a lot of energy, and doesn't draw down from bodyfat — so check carefully when embarking on a weight loss strategy.

The Hypnotist: Quietening The Inner Voice of Compulsive Eating
Compulsion is very different from habit: there's an internal dialogue driving that action, so that it feels essential in order to avoid some unpleasant consequence. It's not just eating, although that is the subject of this episode — it can apply to anything you feel you have to do, such as repetitively checking things or washing hands. It's therefore closely related to OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and arguably a form of superstition, which is thought to affect between 1% and 4% of people. If this is something you experience, Adam Cox helps to break those patterns of inner dialogue to provide you with freedom of choice.

The Hypnotist: Escaping the Trap of Unworthiness
People who are trapped in a sense of unworthiness may not even realise it, as the mind can accumulate irrefutable evidence for itself to support all sorts of belief systems — what hypnotists describe as cognitive bias. However the trap can be exposed: for instance, in the case of unworthiness by finding it difficult to receive a compliment. Adam Cox helps to unwrap such traps and shows the way to escape their clutches.

The Hypnotist: The Rebellious Non-Smoker
Smoking can start in feeling part of a rebellious group of teenagers, but often turns from something that supports that bond-building sense of solidarity to a burden that has not delivered its early promise. Like so many things that promise one thing and turn out very different, it can feel like deceit. The ultimate rebellious behaviour may therefore be to reject that deceit, and the smoking that came with it.

The Hypnotist: Strength, Courage and Boundaries for Empaths
Lack of confidence arising from personal situations can impact your working experience and ability to hold down a job. Whether it's shame, regret or frustration, sometimes it can help to look back through the lens of what you now know in order to find a new confidence and resilience: and particularly so for empaths. Note: 'Empath' isn't an official psychological term, but it's generally defined as a person who is highly attuned to the emotions of others. Empathy is an essential skill for all kinds of relationships. But people with very high levels of it may have a hard time setting boundaries between themselves and others.

The Hypnotist: The Hypnotic Sleeping Pill
The placebo effect drives an element of expectation or belief for people taking part in a medical test, when they don't know whether they're taking the 'real thing' or are part of a control group. In this episode, Adam Cox uses the metaphor of a sleeping tablet rather than the actual thing to drive that placebo suggestion, thereby inducing a self-fulfilling policy to help you sleep. An added bonus here, too: there's no wake-up call at the end of the session, so you can just keep on sleeping!

The Hypnotist: Confidence to Identify and Remove Ticks
In an interesting episode for summer holidays in the moors, woods and countryside: yes, this is about calming anxiety about unpleasant insects that burrow and bite, such as ticks. Adam Cox helps you to look at such perceived threats in a different way — to disassociate from anxiety, and to build your confidence to deal with such infestation!
