The Hypnotist: The Boy Becomes a Man - Hypnosis for a Chaotic Part
The teenage years are often marked by periods of insecurity and awareness of all the things that can go wrong, and this inner dialogue can persist well into adulthood. However the journey into those later years helps by building resilience based on experience, so that these conflicted paths can be addressed on the basis of a growing store of knowledge. Adam Cox helps those challenged by this anxiety based on an inner dialogue to build a more positive, forward-looking approach.

The Hypnotist: The Bungalow of Parts
We all contain a wide variety of characteristics and capabilities, and weaknesses. The metaphor of a bungalow is used here to sort them into different scales of usage: the ground floor containing those in everyday use, less frequently used ones in the basement, and a motley collection of those we'd rather not admit to stored in the bunker. Adam Cox uses ego-state therapy to help us make peace between these disassociated parts so that they don't catch us unawares.

The Hypnotist: Confidence for New Friendships
Many people feel comfortable with communicating in a work environment, but are challenged in their social life. This may relate to feeling confident when there's a role to play, but finding themselves uneasy when the sense of purpose is not so clear. Adam Cox helps to explain how to use those existing skills in a new context, bringing calm and confidence to new opportunities for friendship.

The Hypnotist: Escaping the Village of Fear
To what extent is fear real, and to what extent is it an illusion? Childhood is often conditioned with constant reminders of what could go wrong, with fear being used as a primary way of controlling behaviour. However this can lead into continual anxiety about potential negative consequences as an adult, handicapping our ability to live life to the full. Imagination often amplifies fear: Adam Cox helps to put it into perspective in this episode. Image: Wikimedia

The Hypnotist: The Gift of a Near Miss
We can all think of near misses which could have been devastating, but instead resulted in a massive sigh of relief; but do we always learn the lessons for the future? The real value of such experiences, the real gift, is to see such experiences as an opportunity not to test fate again in that way. In aviation, near misses are generally analysed carefully with a detailed investigation — Adam Cox uses that metaphor to show how the same logic can be applied in our personal lives.

The Hypnotist: Harnessing the Qualities of Messi
Young people often find coping with tough decisions, or being evaluated, challenging. Adam Cox taps into the qualities of Messi to show that they can be emulated — a strong work ethic, the courage to make tough decisions, resilience to bounce back from failures: he explains how to connect with these, and how to use them as an anchor. The episode could help young people approaching exam season, or experiencing tough times at school.

The Hypnotist: Hypnosis to Bet on Yourself and Your Future
In a session designed to build confidence for those in client-facing industries and in sales, Adam Cox looks at risk — reward using an analogy of visiting a casino. In contrast to putting a bet or stake at risk, he suggests that the only thing at risk in business development is your time, and that the rewards can be substantial. Such a mindset change can enable a more confident strategy for the future.
