Chapter 1: What inspired Adam to become a hypnotherapist?
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside access to cutting-edge hypnosis with real clients facing genuine issues. Brought to you by the hypnotherapist demanded by celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox. These recordings took place live from Evans Glen in London's world-famous Harley Street. So, get yourself comfortable and enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
Hi, it's Adam here. Now, this is not a typical hypnosis session. In fact, you're going to listen to a podcast where I was a guest on and the host, Robin Holm, is the host asking me questions and her podcast is called The Hypnotic Empath.
robin is a hypnotist and she specializes in the mind body connection so you're going to hear how she asks me about how i got into hypnosis and and what the key things are that i do differently so if you're interested in learning more about me and behind the scenes stuff about how and why i do hypnosis this might be quite a useful session to listen into.
Robin is an excellent hypnotist and she asked me very good questions, all relating to hypnosis.
Chapter 2: How did Adam's childhood experiences shape his journey?
So find a nice comfortable place and check that out. And I'm going to have a link to her podcast in the show notes. So if you want to hear more of her interviews, definitely check that out. All right. Take care.
hello and welcome to the hypnotic empath i am your host robin home and i am so excited to be here with adam cox i met adam a year ago almost at the hypno thoughts conference down in vegas and he taught a little workshop on podcasting for hypnotherapists so i have to thank adam for this podcast that i've now been running for almost a year now we're at 42 episodes
And Adam was so generous, not only with everything that he taught us in the workshop itself, but then afterwards he even helped me to pick the name of this podcast. So Adam, I am so grateful to you. Podcasting is something that I've wanted to do since 2009 and taking your workshop was the last little push that I needed to be able to do that.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of hypnosis in personal development?
And then in addition to that, I took another workshop of his on nested loops. And if you have done any of my membership classes, I use nested loops a lot in my guided journeys when we're working with weight loss. And that is also thanks to Adam. So I cannot wait to pick your brain. Adam, welcome here.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Really happy to have you. So I'm wondering just for the listeners, if you could explain a little bit about yourself, just introduce yourself a little bit and tell them anything that you would like them to know.
Yeah. So one of the clues is my accent.
Chapter 4: How did the pandemic influence Adam's podcasting journey?
So I'm UK based. I live in London. I'm known as a hypnotherapist. And I would say of the thing that most people in the hypnosis industry know me as, is as being a podcast host of a podcast called The Hypnotist. And The Hypnotist is a podcast, excuse the thunder here that's coming through. The Hypnotist for me is a podcast that I created right at the beginning of COVID.
I was in quite a prestigious location in central London. There's a street called Harley Street and Harley Street where the rich and famous get their medical treatment and their cosmetic surgery done. and their high level therapy. And so I had a clinic on the penthouse suite of this very impressive building in Harley Street.
Chapter 5: What techniques does Adam use in his hypnotherapy sessions?
The pandemic came along and I kind of knew that it would be for a period of time, I didn't know if it was going to be months or years, difficult to see clients face to face. And my passion is hypnosis. And I thought that I needed an outlet for hypnosis at a time when I would be seeing less clients. And I didn't have my record studio built then.
I wasn't working with any clients remotely at that particular point. So I thought, right, I need to have an outlet for hypnosis. And my inspiration for the Hypnotist podcast was a book. And it was a book that inspired me when I was getting into hypnosis, when I was doing a psychology degree. And it was called Magic in Action by Richard Bandler.
And what I liked about it is that most books on hypnosis and NLP, they're theoretical.
Chapter 6: How does Adam incorporate regression and parts therapy in his practice?
They teach you certain techniques and models. What I liked about Magic in Action is that it was a book of transcripts, primarily of Richard Bandler interacting with clients. And you hear the back and forth of shifting submodalities and doing elicitation questions. And I learn a lot more from kind of the movie I made in my head of that interaction back and forth of that.
So when it came to creating a hypnosis podcast, I kind of looked at what was already out there, and there are some excellent training hypnosis podcasts. My favorite, and I learned a lot from Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson called Brain Software, is brilliant. So if you want to learn more about hypnosis, that is a highly recommended podcast. So I got a lot of value from that.
But that's teaching people about techniques and those kind of things.
Chapter 7: What are the common misconceptions about weight loss and hypnosis?
if you go on youtube there is no shortage of hypnosis scripts that are quite generic hypnosis to sleep hypnosis to lose weight and clearly they weren't for someone they're just written for people like the general kind of thing and as you can probably tell from my my studio here i'm a complete audio geek so one of the things that i was doing in harley street
is I would record every session I had a portable microphone I would do the hypnosis with the client I would record my voice because then it was a bonus to the client to have a good quality sound recording not of a hypnosis session but of their hypnosis session and when the pandemic came it dawned on me that I had about 200 recordings of just my voice of doing hypnosis
And I'm like, could I repurpose that audio that I've already recorded in very good quality and turn it into something? And what would I need to do to do that? And I thought all I would really need is five minutes beforehand to explain the issue that the client had and then what techniques I was using. And then you could actually hear the actual hypnosis session that a real client had paid for.
And I did that and then it dawned on me that the vast majority of recordings that I had of those 200 were very similar because mainly I was working with weight loss clients at the time. But it got the ball rolling and I was doing one episode a week and that one episode a week started to build a bit of traction but it dawned on me that I needed to be more creative.
And a real catalyst for me was a really niche sci-fi TV series on Amazon Prime, and it was called Tales from the Loop.

Chapter 8: What advice does Adam have for aspiring hypnotherapists?
And it was this, retro sci-fi set in the future, but with kind of like 60s kind of architecture and kind of cars. But some of the storylines in that, for example, there's one storyline where they've got this device that freezes time for everyone else but you. And then it was kind of like, that's cool. And then they had this thing where you could
Like there's lots of movies where you do like a body swap, like Freaky Friday. And they had one storyline where you swap perceptions with someone else. And I'm like, okay, time distortion, perceptual shifts. There's one storyline where he got to, he was blowing the candles out on a birthday cake and then went forward in time to see his life at the end of his life.
And that's almost like the Dickens pattern and then kind of figuring out, oh, what do I need to do now? So very cool storylines, very niche TV show. So I did a few podcast episode inspired by those storylines. And nobody cared at all. I found it really cool and interesting. Nobody else cared.
And then I watched a movie that was more popular called Limitless with Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. And if you haven't seen the movie, it's about this idea of that there is a nootropic drug called NZT. And if you take it, you activate the power of the mind. And I think a lot of people...
secretly like the idea of hypnosis because they like the idea of tapping into more of their potential more of their resources so i created a hypnosis session based on the the concept of limitless and i shared it on social media and i said hey i've created this is locked down everyone's bored they've got nothing to do so i put this social media post and i say i've just created a hypnosis session inspired by the movie limitless if you want it
let me know and what i didn't do is just send them the recording i sent them to the link of the episode i didn't have it on spotify then it was on apple And what I didn't realize at the time that I was doing is I was training the algorithm so that people would then click the link and then the algorithm knew what kind of people were clicking the link.
And then it put my content in front of more people that were like the people that clicked the link. I had no idea I was doing this. It was just, hey, I'm going to share this thing, but I'm going to share my podcast episode rather than the audio file. And then suddenly the audience went up and I'm like, ooh, feedback. And then I did more.
So what most people know me now as being is a hypnotherapist slash podcaster about hypnosis where I share real hypnosis based on the client sessions with real clients facing real issues. But crucially, I protect the confidentiality of the clients that I work with. You never know who I'm working with unless I do a free session and they volunteer to kind of share their story.
Outside of that, nobody would know who I'm working with, but you hear the actual session, not a recording of what it would have been like, but the actual session. And it's become this strange flywheel for me because at the time, I wasn't a very busy hypnotherapist, but I shared my hypnosis and that shared hypnosis raised my profile. And that led me to getting more clients.
