There are things with which we just can't cope, and one such may well be vomit. Adam Cox tackles a pair of beliefs - that vomit is horrific, and an inability to cope with severe anxiety or terror - by changing these mindsets into alternative understandings: this approach can be much more effective than de-sensitisation. The episode can be used to tackle other phobias such as arachnophobia - so if you suffer from these unpleasant things, give it a try

It's not unusual to associate people who are financially successful with character flaws - perhaps a ruthless personality, perhaps a focus on the 'self': this can result in irrational spending when good fortune appears in order to return to one's perceived former state of equilibrium. This episode uses concepts of hypnotic wealth to help come to terms with this challenge.

Trauma and anxiety can often be linked to a few recurring thoughts, particularly those that arise from within. They can be a struggle to fight — the more you try to suppress them, the worse they become. This episode uses a metaphor to help you detach yourself from these thoughts, using an acknowledged technique called 'Acceptance and Commitment Therapy' (ACT) in order to help minimise such intrusive/unpleasant thoughts.

Building confidence to deal with interviews and applications for promotion can be challenging when potential role models appear boastful or arrogant — behaviour one might not want to copy. So it can be useful to seek out an example of someone who not only has the necessary confidence but also the characteristics one might wish to emulate. This approach is known as a circle of excellence or, as Adam Cox describes it, a cylinder of confidence.

Adam Cox explores tapping into HNWI (High Net Worth Individual) resources to develop potential coping strategies - towards spending, resourcefulness and productivity.

Life plans and other expectations formed at an early age can work out very differently in adulthood, and often anxiety can result from moving goalposts. This episode uses the technique of regression to re-visit events in the past to show how although you can't predict what's going to happen, you can choose. It's interesting to reflect how this must feel for the Queen, who was aware of her destiny from the age of ten, set out her intentions in 1952, and continues to fulfill them seventy years on.
