The Hypnotist: A Daydream of Self-Acceptance
If concerns about how other people think of you develop into seeking to manage those relationships, it can result in giving away control of your thoughts and actions to others. This episode puts forward alternative approaches which help re-build self-confidence, encouraging self-acceptance and self-empowerment to make positive life choices for yourself.

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.

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: 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: 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.

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: The Planet of Precious People
Social anxiety and judgement of other people often go hand in glove, but both are debilitating: at an individual level, at a community level and, it has be said, at a national level. This episode steers people towards respect for others, recognising their value and building positive and empowering relationships — a key part of the Christmas message.

The Hypnotist: Rekindling Sexual Interest and Attraction
It's hard to think of a better week to publish this episode than just before Valentine's Day: and the research which hit media headlines the week before on the impact of Viagra on reducing Alzheimer's must be a good motive as well! Adam Cox uses regression techniques to re-build relationship chemistry in order to tackle the dynamics that can follow life events such as pregnancy — but of course love is a many-splendoured thing, and eros is only one dimension.
