If you're trying to lose weight but your eating choices are already good, there's just two potential routes to follow: cut out an existing meal window (known as intermittent fasting), or exercise (increase physical activity): either route achieves a calorie deficit so that your energy requirement feeds on body fat. Adam Cox uses the metaphor of an invisibility blanket, as in Harry Potter stories, in order to show how small changes over a period can really work.

Most people carry burdens of guilt and shame, perhaps from decades ago. Sometimes it's not due to personal responsibility, but part of a wider issue. This episode helps to come to terms with these things, to let them go. Whether they have served their purpose or call for some forgiveness, this episode can help with moving on.

Efforts to lose weight can feel like however hard you try to do the right thing, you make little progress. Those who like games can use terms like winning, losing — or cheating? What must you do to win? If this analogy applies to you, ask yourself if you've defined the rules properly. If your criteria are too vague, it can feel like it's going nowhere: so change the rules to make it winnable. Focus on day-to-day choices rather than impossible standards, and progress may become more realistic.

More than seven million people tuned in for the explosive finale of the third series of hit BBC series 'The Traitors', an entertaining romp through the psychological effects of dishonesty. The BBC has succeeded in making adjustments so that dishonesty doesn't always win, but the finale showed clearly how it evaporates trust. In a wider context, it's becoming increasingly clear that social media is driving people apart by enabling people to express views and aggression 'at arms length' — the removal of fact-checking is another significant step backwards. Does social media drive people apart? We should not delay in seeking more research on the question.

Even for successful business people, social situations can raise their anxiety level to the point when some resort to drink or drugs. Retreating from these comfort blankets can, however, result in continued discomfort and even a sense of shame for having let people down, causing further detachment. Adam Cox explores how to re-construct a sense of calm and relief in one's own company and transfer it into some of the more common social situations, thereby enabling a new belief system and a way back from isolation.

We carry out most bodily functions — for example, breathing — sub-consciously. Here's a situation where focusing attention on something — in this case, swallowing food and choking — can give rise to anxiety. Adam Cox draws attention to the challenge that can be created by trying to do something, but failing in the attempt, in order to recreate an intuitive unconsciousness.

Many people resort to alcohol as a means of tackling stress, but it can be a slippery slope downwards. Adam Cox, whose route to a different relationship with alcohol led to him becoming fully teetotal, explores ways of tapping into different alignments for dealing with stress in order to change that resort to alcohol.

A disciplined approach to losing weight is not uncommon in the new year, but does it give rise to a feeling of inner conflict and resistance? If you feel coerced into losing weight, perhaps this more harmonious approach might help, using the analogy of a Venn diagram to find the cross-over between rigid self-discipline and enjoyment in order to reduce feelings of impossible expectations.

The challenge of losing weight is often accompanied by a set of self-imposed rules, and such an approach is an invitation to feel 'good' or 'bad' about it. Breaking the rules can become or source of joy leading to binges, and rigid diets can easily lead to internal conflicts. This is defined as 'polarity responding' by hypnotists, and Adam Cox helps by explaining how this adopted morality is all a bit artificial.
