People who are trapped in a sense of unworthiness may not even realise it, as the mind can accumulate irrefutable evidence for itself to support all sorts of belief systems — what hypnotists describe as cognitive bias. However the trap can be exposed: for instance, in the case of unworthiness by finding it difficult to receive a compliment. Adam Cox helps to unwrap such traps and shows the way to escape their clutches.

Smoking can start in feeling part of a rebellious group of teenagers, but often turns from something that supports that bond-building sense of solidarity to a burden that has not delivered its early promise. Like so many things that promise one thing and turn out very different, it can feel like deceit. The ultimate rebellious behaviour may therefore be to reject that deceit, and the smoking that came with it.

Lack of confidence arising from personal situations can impact your working experience and ability to hold down a job. Whether it's shame, regret or frustration, sometimes it can help to look back through the lens of what you now know in order to find a new confidence and resilience: and particularly so for empaths. Note: 'Empath' isn't an official psychological term, but it's generally defined as a person who is highly attuned to the emotions of others. Empathy is an essential skill for all kinds of relationships. But people with very high levels of it may have a hard time setting boundaries between themselves and others.

Nobel Prize winner Kip Thorne helped to unravel its mysteries in 'The Life Scientific' following his input on 'Interstellar', and thus inspired our thought for this week.

The placebo effect drives an element of expectation or belief for people taking part in a medical test, when they don't know whether they're taking the 'real thing' or are part of a control group. In this episode, Adam Cox uses the metaphor of a sleeping tablet rather than the actual thing to drive that placebo suggestion, thereby inducing a self-fulfilling policy to help you sleep. An added bonus here, too: there's no wake-up call at the end of the session, so you can just keep on sleeping!
