Show Notes
Adam Cox is interviewed by Graham Wood ahead of Adam’s UK Hypnosis Convention talk on movie metaphors. They discuss why films function as natural mnemonics storing resource states and archetypes, and why stories bypass the critical faculty better than direct suggestion. Adam explains using Tenet’s “temporal pincer movement” to design a regression protocol, Back to the Future for reframing regret and future pacing, Inception’s nested structure for teaching disassociation levels, the hero’s journey for habit and addiction work, Rocky for resilience, and Inside Out for teaching parts therapy simply. He also reveals he has written a screenplay blending past-life regression with a Bitcoin heist premise. The conversation closes with quickfire questions on his favourite metaphors and where to find his podcast and downloads.
In this session: temporal pincer movement (Tenet-inspired regression protocol) movies as natural mnemonics storing resource states nested loops as levels of disassociation hero’s journey as universal change metaphor with tested transformation
