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 adams clinic 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 a hypnosis session all about self-acceptance and the ability to actually like yourself and i would say it's one of the recent hypnosis sessions that really resonated a lot with me because throughout my teenage years and early 20s I definitely didn't accept myself and I definitely didn't like myself.
So when I was working with a client, hearing those words that they were saying, I could really connect to who I used to be. And around 24, 25 years old, I did hypnotherapy on myself and I changed the belief from I don't accept myself to I accept myself 100% and I didn't like myself to I absolutely like myself and I can still improve myself.
Because up to that point, I had the false belief, and that false belief was that if I accepted myself, I would be complacent and I would stop trying to improve myself. I had very low self-worth, but the silver lining of having low self-worth is is a desire to make yourself better. So throughout my teenage years and early 20s, I did lots of self-education, lots of self-improvement.
I would eat well, I would work out a lot as an attempt to make myself better.

Chapter 2: How did Adam's past experiences shape his understanding of self-acceptance?
If you make yourself better, but you have the belief that you're not good enough, then
you're chasing a mirage and some people with body dysmorphia will know what i mean when i say that because nothing is ever quite enough so self-acceptance and actually liking yourself doesn't mean that you suddenly stop trying to improve yourself it just means you do it from a different reason now this particular client that i was working with in this session
absolutely had that belief because their belief system was that in order to like themselves other people had to like them that was always their frame of reference but nobody wants to spend time with me nobody wants to do this and because that was a reference it becomes circular because if your self-esteem goes down in your in social situations then
And then people read that, they might feel uncomfortable connecting. And then you've got more and more evidence that you're not desirable. And then self-worth gets even lower. So we need to break that pattern. And by breaking that pattern is by having an intrinsic criteria for self-acceptance and liking yourself. And it starts with identifying qualities that are true and desirable.
And this client was true.

Chapter 3: What beliefs hinder self-acceptance and self-worth?
very intelligent, and they were very generous. So that's why a lot of the suggestions linked to liking themselves linked to those qualities because they were absolutely undeniably true for them. And there are people in the world that are not intelligent and not generous. But this happened to be true for these clients.
They were the right qualities to have as a reference point to change that belief. What I would encourage you to do is to ask yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, currently, how much do you accept yourself? Do you accept yourself 10 out of 10? Do you accept everything about you? Or is it lower? And if it's lower, what number would you put it on?
Chapter 4: How can one break the cycle of seeking external validation?
Equally, how much do you like yourself? If 10 you like yourself completely, And one is that you absolutely hate yourself and you've got self-loathing. Put yourself on that scale of 1 to 10. And in doing so, I want you to think, does that number change after you listen to this hypnosis session? It was created for an individual.
Some of the suggestions do directly relate to the experiences and circumstances connected to this particular client. So if you do like the idea of a bespoke session just for you, It's worth booking a consultation call or looking at how to work with me in the description of this episode. For now, though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be distracted or disturbed.
Chapter 5: What qualities should we identify to foster self-acceptance?
Relax and enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in. And as you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation. And as you exhale, feel a wonderful feeling of release. As if any pent up tension, frustrations, even sadness is allowed to release. Eyelids feeling heavier, as you breathe in, slower, longer, deeper.
Each breath, allow it to be slightly deeper and longer than the last. And every time you exhale, consider it a release valve. You've been holding onto so much for so long, and what if every long outward breath gave you permission to let go? That's it.
Chapter 6: How can self-acceptance coexist with self-improvement?
Allow your jaw to loosen, tiny muscles in your eyelids to relax. Arms feeling limper and looser and heavier. The tiny muscles in the back of the neck, they can relax now. Each breath takes you deeper and deeper relaxed.
and as your body relaxes, your imagination can awaken and as you begin to notice your breath you may also notice how the sounds around you become less important not disappearing exactly just the volume going down, moving to the background And I want you to know that your mind is welcome to be active right now. To think, to notice, to observe. That's all completely fine.
Because even as your mind continues to do what minds do, your body is already beginning to settle. Your breath is already finding that rhythm.
Chapter 7: What practical steps can enhance self-acceptance and self-like?
that's it, with each breath out you can go a little further into that comfortable quiet, not asleep, just deeply relaxed, aware, present, but with nothing needing to be done, nothing to be monitored, nothing that needs to be managed right now, As I count down from 10 to 1, with each descending number you will drift to a deeper level of relaxation. 10. Feeling comfortable and safe. 9.
Each breath a gentle wave carrying you deeper. 8. Allow your body to grow heavier and more at ease. 7. Turn down the volume in your mind as it becomes quieter.
Chapter 8: What are the long-term benefits of accepting and liking oneself?
Not blank, just quieter. Another deep breath in and 6. Like the surface of a lake settling after the wind has passed. 5. Deeper now. 4. Deeper and more comfortable with every breath.
and maybe there's sensations you notice in your fingers or your toes maybe your arms and your legs feel limp, loose and heavy like the limbs of a puppet with no strings that's it, as three becomes two becomes one deeply relax now exactly where you need to be and there's a part deep within
that has been working very hard for a long time, a part of you that learned somewhere along the line that the safest way to have worth was to earn it from other people, to be helpful enough, capable enough, undemanding enough. to be so clearly useful that you couldn't be dismissed or overlooked. Find that part deep within.
As I communicate to that part, I recognize its intention to connect, to feel useful. It made sense, it made sense as a strategy, and it made complete sense given what you knew at the time. When the people and situations around you made it feel as though approval was something you had to work for, that was a valid and reasonable conclusion for that young mind to reach.
And while we can acknowledge the positive intention, I want to gently ask that part, what does it cost? All of that people pleasing, putting the needs of others first, all of that generosity and all of that consideration.
because when your worth lives outside you, in other people's reactions, in their gratitude, their recognition, doesn't it make you permanently vulnerable to their moods, their limitations, their blindness, even their selfishness. You are always wanting gratitude away from feeling worthless,
and what if that is an exhausting way to live and perhaps part of you has known for a while that there must be a more intelligent, empowering or useful way and I want you to consider something And your unconscious mind is perfectly capable of considering this, even while the rest of you rests. There is a belief there, maybe with deep roots, planted a long time ago.
Something that says, I'm only acceptable if others approve of me. let's look under the surface just for a moment. If your worth is genuinely determined by what other people think of you, what happens when two people think differently? When one person sees your intelligence and another is threatened by it? When one person values your generosity And another exploits it. Which one is right?
Which thought, opinion, behavior or reaction gets to decide your worth? And let's delve into something even deeper. Think of someone whose opinion of you has never been accurate. someone who didn't see you clearly someone who projected their own limitations onto you does their misreading of you change who you actually are? or does it only change how they see you?
