- Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Adam Up The hypnosis weekly podcast is back. And it is different.
This week’s edition is the first of a series that will pop up from time to time entitled “Heroes of Hypnosis” and will feature a former guest speaking about their own hero from the hypnosis field, talk about their history, their contribution to the field, how it influenced and effected their own work and so on.
To start us off with this new series within the podcast, I have recorded the first edition myself, all about my own hero, Emile Coué.
I talk a bit about his background and the historical context of his work, but then really do my best to condense his life work, his 3 books and the book of
Charles Baudoin who was his closest disciple, into a single recording all about ‘Conscious Autosuggestion’ and really show how Couéism’s legacy still endures today, how it has influenced so much of what we know about hypnosis and self-hypnosis and I explain the processes of his work.
It was a real pleasure
for me to record about something I love so much, and I hope that comes through in this special edition, the usual format with my scheduled guest is back next week.
Go listen and enjoy, it really is one for you hypnosis geeks:

This week, I have written about something very close to my heart, but also something that was truly messing with my head.
Caffeine has posed some major issues for me. On one hand, it fills me with joy, energy and strength (that sees me able to run and lift more). On the other hand, it impairs my sleep quality greatly, makes me anxious, twitchy and paranoid.
My experience oscillates greatly with prolonged
consumption of caffeine; that is, the benefits outweigh the downside for a short while, but then the negative aspects gather momentum and I have to stop.
This then cues 3-4 days of detox headaches and a sort of withdrawal that is generally unpleasant and as I catch up with proper deep sleep, nothing is masking how
tired I feel - I tell myself that I will not drink caffeine again.
That is - until such a time has passed and I can barely recall the unpleasantness, it is a distant memory, so I convince myself it’ll be fine to have a cheeky pot of the good stuff in the Bialetti today, and then it is repeated tomorrow and
until the cycle perpetuates again and again.
The dilemma has been such that I have started with a new regimen and have been drawing upon a lot of things that have been going on in my world very recently, and I’ve been so amazed with the results that I thought I’d share it all with you on my blog.
Go have a read about how I have used the placebo effect, self-hypnosis and some very cool other ideas to really get that caffeine hit without any of the side effects, and I give the process that any of you can use for yourself today too:
The sun has been shining here, I feel so happy that I chose to live my life and raise my family in such a beautiful part of the world
- I get to spend time in the New Forest, at our Beach Hut and so many other beautiful places in between.
I’ve been out on the paddle board with my children, playing games and just soaking up the joy of nature and the simple things in life. It is something which helps me to feel really good about life, and to feel
really optimistic about other areas of my life.
I shared that with a friend of mine, and he said that he struggled with optimism, even WITH all the wonderment that we were surrounded by. So I mentioned that if nature was not able to help, I would, and I directed him to these articles, enjoy yourself
too:
I’ve also been writing about the masses of stuff that is happening here at the moment. It has been a busy couple of weeks here. Boy has it ever.
I have just about recovered from my calf and thigh strains that I got at our annual Summer party.
The end of the academic year meant that I have a LOT of new projects going on and I really wanted to
share them with you, please come and have a read about all the exciting stuff happening here:
Advance Your Hypnotherapy |
Last week, I wrote about the fact
that in 2018 I shall be running my accredited advanced hypnotherapy diploma course that is for already qualified hypnotherapists. You can read that article here as it has an AMAZING deal and offer in it that expires soon, seriously, the deal includes a discount, online preparatory materials (lots!) and some one-to-one mentoring with me, if you missed that, go have a read here:
While setting it all up, I stumbled across a mail shot I sent out to those prospectively interested in the advanced diploma course and thought I’d share a number
of links from that with you here, they are very relevant to anyone seeking to advance their skills and career as a hypnotherapist:
1. Why All Hypnotherapists Need To Know What “Shoshin” Is: I wrote this when I had just got back from teaching the first ever 5 days of my advanced course. It is relevant here, because I frame the entire advanced hypnotherapy diploma with
reference to “Shoshin” a Zen Bhuddist concept that you’ll benefit from greatly even if you do not join the course.
2. Why Are Most Hypnotherapists Unaware of The Stroop Effect and It’s Importance To The Field of Hypnosis? I was amazed at how few of the hypnotherapists I speak to around the world at conferences, trainings and conventions that simply do not know what the Stroop effect is. On this advanced hypnotherapy course, we go into great depth
and explore the neuroscience and brain research findings about hypnosis, and understanding the Stroop Effect helps us start to understand some of what is revealed by neuroscience about hypnosis.
3. The Cult of Anti-Intellectualism and Ignorance In the Field of Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis: Really a
piece I think is vital for hypnotherapist who wish to grow and for our field in general if we hope to develop. Don’t bow to anti-intellectualism, dare to become an erudite hypnotherapist, it’ll provide the foundations for your practical skills to grow exponentially, I assure you.
4. Are Hypnotherapists Aware Of The Diversity Within The Field of Hypnotherapy? Is There More Than
Erickson vs Elman? I wrote this because I meet so many hypnotherapists who think the two major contributors to the field of hypnosis are either Erickson or Elman. Yet scholars, researchers and academics virtually never refer to them? Why is that?
I hope these articles help illuminate and whet your appetite for
deeper learning and appreciation of our field and the expansiveness of it.
