The Hypnotist: for Healing with Slow and Steady Progress
Adam Cox helps with building a positive mindset for long-term health conditions, but the episode also provides an interesting analogy with national economic recovery after the twin shocks of Brexit and the pandemic. He explains how impatience in expecting instant recovery is not helpful, that it's unrealistic to expect to 'wake up and find everything back to normal instantly'. Healing is not binary: it's slow and steady, and an appreciation that 'progress is more important than perfection' leads to a mindset of optimism and possibility. Isn't that just what we need as a nation?

The Hypnotist: Impostor Syndrome Hypnosis - to be yourself
People increasingly resort to 'Alter Ego's to develop a resilient or 'tough guy' persona: possibly resulting from criticism in childhood or difficult experiences in adolescence. Being true to oneself calls for having the internal resources to build emotional resilience, for developing coping strategies to deal with those difficult times. Using analogies and metaphors, Adam Cox looks through those facades to find a resilience based on honesty.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis for Overeating and Self Control
Excess intake over Christmas and the New Year often leads to constraint in January, but how best to exercise self-control? Adam Cox helps to temper that urge to overeat by resorting to a technique called 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming', through which those compulsions can be collapsed as a result of switching them to a disassociated third person.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Hypnosis for Technology Addiction
Time is the scarce resource in human lives, and technology in its various forms swallows a lot of it for many of us. When its absorption into our lives becomes almost a habit or an addiction, it can cause us to miss opportunities and it can impact our character and even our identity. Whether it's gaming, social media or other online activity that turns you on, the emotional appeal is generally that instant gratification which pulls us away from experiencing real life and relationships. If you're concerned about being drawn into this trap of gaming and virtual experience, this episode could help you restore balance into your life. Originally broadcast on 4th February 2023

The Hypnotist: The Free Wolf in the Wilderness
For many people, there's a continuing internal struggle between the need for comfort and security and the yearning for freedom and adventure, but once settled into the former it can be difficult to face the risks and unknowns of the latter. Doubts about capability and resources can take over, and thoughts about taking a different path can be very challenging. It's really about re-building one's self-belief, and Adam Cox uses hypnotic analogies in order to help you find that confidence.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis for a Fear of Wind and Storms
A sense of anxiety about winds and storms can be very worrying, and there's plenty of them around this winter, strengthened by climate change. However some of that fear can be rooted in long-term phobias from the past, and this episode helps to put today's challenging weather forecasts in a new perspective.

The Hypnotist: The Calm and Empowered Transition to Retirement
For those who experienced the transition to 'retirement' during the pandemic lock-downs and working from home, it probably did feel calm and empowering (notwithstanding anxiety over the virus itself) — however, for many people it can feel more like a cliff-edge. This episode helps you to let go of the stresses and anxiety of the workplace and plan for that new chapter in your life: it's called 'future pacing'. The Christmas/New Year break is a great time to build a compelling version of your future.
