Chapter 1: What techniques are used to induce relaxation in hypnosis?

11.658 - 37.092 Adam Cox

Take a deep breath in. And as you breathe in, breathe in that resourceful feeling of calm and relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow your eyelids to close. And as they close, feel the weight of those eyelids.

38.877 - 86.383 Adam Cox

feel a ripple of relaxation going from your eyes down your cheeks into your jaw breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension and just scan your body from the top of your head all the way down for any clues of tension stress frustration, and even echoes of anger, and just set the intention that on every outward breath, to release, incrementally, anything that isn't needed right now.

94.818 - 111.257

And so, the deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you can feel. And the more relaxed you can feel, the deeper you breathe. That's it.

113.42 - 115.843 Adam Cox

Just allow your breathing to find its own rhythm.

Chapter 2: How does hypnosis help in releasing anger and frustration?

118.726 - 159.659 Adam Cox

And you don't have to control it. Just accept and allow. And as each breath moves through you, maybe you can notice how the weight in your shoulders can loosen or distribute differently. And that weight doesn't have to disappear, just redistributing. Like setting something heavy down on a table next to you, rather than holding it when you don't need to hold it.

167.506 - 211.157 Adam Cox

And as you breathe in and breathe out, you realize that your body already knows how to let go. It's been doing it your whole life while sleeping. surrendering the vigilance, releasing any high alert, allowing rest without cost. And here, right now, that same capability, that same intelligence, is available to you to allow

Chapter 3: What is the significance of regression in hypnotherapy?

213.803 - 269.226 Adam Cox

the chair, the sofa, the cushions, to just take your weight, to allow gravity to do what you usually resist. And on that outward breath, allow yourself to go deeper and to arrive somewhere quieter than the breath before. And very soon, I'm going to count down from ten to one. And with each number, allow yourself to drift deeper and deeper into a quiet place within.

0

269.246 - 306.349 Adam Cox

And not because the counting down does something to you, but because part of you already knows how to use that permission to facilitate a wonderful possibility of useful changes 10. a sense of the outside world growing softer 9. sounds of where you are becoming background

309.198 - 353.754 Adam Cox

like a ticking clock in a room that you lose track of eight, that quality of attention that you have when you're reading something absorbing and nothing else quite reaches you seven, deeper still, and then six Even more relaxed with each count now, the way you drift deeper into sleep without noticing the exact moment that it happens, and then five, halfway, drifting somewhere very still.

0

356.277 - 424.086 Adam Cox

Four, that quality of calm that isn't absence, but presence. Three, a different kind. Two, arriving now at something very close to where you need it to be. And one, feel yourself settling into that place of calm relaxation within. And I want you to get a sense, a sense of drifting back, back in time. But imagine you're in a room, a room with a large TV screen or your own personal cinema.

0

428.622 - 476.548 Adam Cox

Because when we go back to this place, I want you to feel that you are safe to return there. You will observe, not as you were, but as you are now. You're not returning to it, you're visiting it as an observer. as someone who already knows how the story continues. So imagine that large screen, and imagine starting to see a younger version of you, perhaps 14 years old.

481.796 - 487.485 Adam Cox

See where you were living, your bedroom, the kitchen,

Chapter 4: How can we shift our perspective on responsibility?

489.322 - 517.506 Adam Cox

the space. And I want you to observe that version of you, facing the ordinary weight of an ordinary day. Except on this day, the weight of responsibility has suddenly grown, and not of your choosing.

0

521.114 - 577.952 Adam Cox

you're in your body seeing this younger version of you, and notice that they're doing what needs to be done, and perhaps you see them, with additional responsibilities, things they needed to learn, things they had to figure out, and not doing it through choice, doing it through necessity and yet see how resourceful they are managing grief alongside learning new responsibilities

0

583.18 - 643.444 Adam Cox

they figured it out because they had to figure it out I want you to see a different way of looking at responsibility so many people see responsibility as a burden a chore a weight to carry But the other way of looking at responsibility is about increasing capabilities. You've heard the story of how the tallest and strongest trees had to weather the fiercest storms. Capable adults

0

645.297 - 699.03 Adam Cox

had to learn real responsibilities and I want you to see that younger version of you that even though you learn through necessity and not choice I want you to see that you coped you became capable you figured things out, and I want you to see that maybe back then, you didn't see it as growing your capabilities, perhaps back then you saw it as something unfair, unjust,

0

704.444 - 730.992 Adam Cox

that you didn't choose to have to do these things and yet life dealt you that hand and you couldn't ask for help or offload those responsibilities it was all on you and see the face of that 14 year old version of you

735.207 - 762.615 Adam Cox

and I want you to see what it gave you resilience, capabilities maturity learning the fact that you didn't choose it didn't mean that you didn't also benefit from it and maybe part of you thought

764.418 - 787.455 Adam Cox

this is too much for one person, maybe you can say accurately that you did deserve more support than you got, and you can say, the fact that you did manage, doesn't mean that you should have had to manage alone, all of that can be true,

794.962 - 840.617 Adam Cox

I want you to feel, empathy, acceptance, sympathy even, yet also acknowledge, it did make you more capable and stronger, and notice that as you do, some of that emotional charge begins to leave that memory, you can allow the memory to just be a memory, and no longer a measuring stick or a rule for the world.

843.961 - 889.752 Adam Cox

Just because what happened to you shouldn't have happened to you, doesn't mean a price needs to be paid by anyone else. I want you to see the screen change, and see how you are when you're working with a client. See how you are when you're working with someone dealing with something difficult. How your natural tendency isn't to judge, isn't to hold them to your standard.

Chapter 5: What role does empathy play in managing past traumas?

893.579 - 936.137 Adam Cox

you to see how naturally you give them the benefit of the doubt. Assuming there's no easy answers, assuming the shades of grey, knowing that rarely is it just one thing that influences a choice, a decision, and even an action. I want you to observe how naturally you become curious and understanding and gentle.

0

940.722 - 1000.725 Adam Cox

And then see on the screen about when you're writing about particular dynamics of human behavior and thought. Notice how curious, and open. No easy answers, no just one variable. I want you to see that in so many areas of your life, you can observe something unfair, And yet, you become curious, understanding, open-minded rather than angry or judgmental.

0

1005.132 - 1046.031 Adam Cox

And this resource is not new, and therefore you don't need to build it. But what if you can harness that open, gentle, curious perspective, and then see on the screen, something that in recent times did trigger you, see yourself as someone else, and see from your facial expression, your words, see that anger, that sense of injustice,

0

1048.188 - 1095.196 Adam Cox

But just imagine that version of you is one of your own clients. As you observe them, you start to wonder what assumption is being made so that that injustice and anger is even possible to exist. And maybe you can conclude that there is an evaluation of entitlement, of laziness, of a lack of personal responsibility.

0

1099 - 1137.662 Adam Cox

And then just imagine switching that version of you with a version of you that is open-minded and curious, seeing that version of you, dealing with the same stimulus, yet having an entirely different response. Same email, read differently. Same message, conversation, phone call. Completely perceived differently.

Chapter 6: How can we cultivate curiosity instead of judgment?

1140.173 - 1184.896 Adam Cox

gently, curiously, full of empathy and understanding. And maybe that version of you, rather than reaching for judgement, are asking better quality questions. What is actually happening here? What might they not know, that I know? And not because it excuses anything, but just because you get to decide what to do, with more information than with less.

0

1188.542 - 1224.855 Adam Cox

You know you are no longer fourteen, managing more responsibility than you should. and even though the responsibility you carried was real that doesn't mean it's the same responsibility as the ones in front of you now almost all of the responsibilities you carry now come from choice back then it came from necessity

0

1227.89 - 1272.354 Adam Cox

So when the heat rises, perhaps there's a moment before the verdict, a window of opportunity to ask a question. A question that comes from curiosity, and possibility, and wonder. I want you to imagine real injustice. I want you to imagine a court case, a trial, and the jury immediately reach a verdict without hearing any evidence.

0

1276.94 - 1323.429 Adam Cox

The jury just go back to their own experiences and then make assumptions about the defendant. That would be true injustice. That's why it doesn't happen in the legal system. Different sides of a story are communicated, evidence is evaluated, and then, on the balance of probabilities, a decision is made. And what if your standards don't require anger?

0

1325.873 - 1343.402 Adam Cox

What if your precision doesn't need an emotional charge to remain sharp? What if curiosity and rigor are not opposites? What if they are complementary

Chapter 7: What is the connection between compassion and personal growth?

1347.922 - 1398.448 Adam Cox

I want you to get a sense that the very capacity for empathy that already exists within you is not a professional hat, but means you can't also harness that empathy personally or as a teacher. The resource itself is agnostic, and you can deploy that resource in new contexts that up to now, it may have been elusive. You carry what is yours to carry.

0

1400.791 - 1441.115 Adam Cox

and you can choose to no longer confuse other people's struggles with an attack on your standards. You are someone who has always known how to manage under pressure, and you are becoming someone who more and more manages with curiosity as well as competency. You start to see more when you wonder than when you judge, and you are already someone who knows how to wonder.

0

1445.001 - 1489.132 Adam Cox

The weight you carried, the burden you carried, in your past, does not mean it's unfair. that other people didn't have to carry that same burden. Perhaps now you can see, at some level it was a gift, it gave you resilience and capabilities to learn to become independent, self-sufficient, But not everyone had that same opportunity to learn that you did.

0

1493.576 - 1523.885 Adam Cox

And so with that empathy, curiosity, and new level of perspective, imagine it's one week from now. And you receive a call or an email that in the past would have triggered you. Only now you look at it through the lens of What if this individual has been deprived of the kinds of responsibilities you had to endure?

0

1529.049 - 1572.025 Adam Cox

I wonder if perhaps you could help them learn about self-sufficiency, independency, personal responsibility, in a less harsh way than you had to learn it and if that starts to feel different than it used to let me know by nodding your head you can help them in a way that no one helped you wouldn't that be a wonderful gift

1574.941 - 1609.843 Adam Cox

to teach people how to be more resourceful, without the harshness of an unexpected rug pull, or the brutality of unexpected consequences. So as you breathe in and breathe out, feel that this is rippling backwards and forwards in time like a pebble thrown into a pond, Reaching every part that has happened and will happen.

Chapter 8: How can we apply these insights to everyday conflicts?

1612.346 - 1660.399 Adam Cox

Gentler, more compassionate, more nuanced. A willingness to give the benefit of the doubt, without being weak. That's it. Very soon, I will start to count from 1 to 10 to awaken you, and you will return feeling lighter, more open-minded, with more consideration and compassion, and yet still a refusal to lower standards. The standards remain high, it's simply the compassion that rises to it,

0

1661.982 - 1701.726 Adam Cox

So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your nose. Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the here and the now. As I now count from one to ten to awaken you. Starting to count. 1, 2, 3, waking up, 4, 5, 6, more alert, 7, 8, open your eyes, open your eyes, 9, 10, wide awake, wide awake, wide awake.
