Adam Cox introduces a hypnosis session recorded for a client with social anxiety, who felt a pit-like void of dread in their gut and chest after being let down by people they’d let get close. He frames this as a protective mechanism gone too far, drawing a parallel to his own teenage social anxiety and reclusiveness. The induction uses breathwork, then a somatic metaphor of melting ice (representing anxiety) with a colour of joy and confidence filling the void. The client is guided to honour their mind’s protective intention while recognising walls have become a prison, then to compare two future ‘clone’ versions of themselves (one guarded, one connected) and step into the more empowering identity, future pacing small confident actions over coming days and weeks.
In this session:
- Somatic release of stored emotion
- Protective part / unconscious protection reframe
- Two-clones future-pacing technique
- Independence as choice not lifestyle
