What is the purpose of this hypnosis session on disempowering beliefs?
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 Adam's 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. This is a hypnosis session about changing disempowering beliefs.
How can you identify a disempowering belief based on feelings and behavior?
And the thing about disempowering beliefs is that you don't normally know what you believe, but you can figure it out based on what you feel or how you behave. So certain things give us clues. And the client I was working with on this session felt a lot of blame and shame and anxiety and a feeling that they would be let down or not believed. And that gave them clues as to their belief systems. And the easy way to figure out once you've found the suspect of what a belief is to figure out if you believe it or not, you ask yourself, to what extent does it feel like it's true? If the belief feels like it's true, then you believe it. And if the belief doesn't feel like it's true, then you don't believe it.
And the key thing there is if it feels like it's true, you might intellectually know that it's not true, but if it feels like it's true, then you probably believe that. What this hypnosis session does is it gives a framework to change beliefs by using a metaphor of a museum. Now, in a museum, a lot of what is on display has some kind of description or placard or label to explain what it is. And throughout history, things have been displayed in museums incorrectly. Now, obviously, they do a lot of research. They don't want to get it wrong. But every now and then they do. And they might display something and say it's one thing. And then new information comes along and they figure out, actually, this isn't that thing at all.
It's something else. And when they've got new information that is better than the old information, they relabel that artifact, that object, that historical monument or piece of an animal or whatever it might be. They update it. That's why this metaphor is quite useful, because a lot of people are carrying belief systems that are not true, not useful anymore. And they haven't updated them to something more useful. And the easiest belief systems to change are belief systems that are absolute. An absolute belief system is something like all or never. Nobody would ever believe me. For that belief to be true, that would mean that not one person has ever or ever would believe you under any circumstances. And when you look at the ludicrous nature of these all or never, these absolute belief systems, they can start crumbling down very quickly.
And the important thing is, is that when a belief changes... it's really important to replace it with a more empowering belief system. It's okay just to remove a disempowering belief, but what if it just gets filled with another disempowering belief that's similar to it, but not quite the same? Much better to take the void and put something deliberately empowering or useful in that same space where the disempowering belief was. Now, you might not know your disempowering beliefs. In fact, most of the clients that work with me don't know that they might have a belief responsible for a lot of their stress or their pressure. Quite often, a belief that is very destructive is a belief preceded with the word must.
I must be like this. I must be available for other people. I must never make a mistake. And that creates a high-stakes environment and a feeling of failure if they don't honor these unconscious belief systems that they don't even realize that they have. So if you like the idea of auditing and changing some of these disempowering belief systems to something more useful, Have a look at the links in the show notes. There's lots of free stuff there. But there's also the ability to book a free consultation call to explore working with me. And it's free because even though there's a cost, if we work together, that cost is deducted from the actual cost of these sessions.
