Sample Hypnotherapy Script

Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script that may be used in a session:

“Imagine yourself in a calm and peaceful place, where you feel safe and relaxed. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, positive energy entering your body. As you breathe out, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body.

“Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am capable and confident, and I can handle uncertainty.’ Allow these words to sink deeply into your mind, and feel the truth of them in your heart.

“Imagine yourself in a situation that typically triggers your contamination OCD. You feel a sense of anxiety and discomfort, but you are able to manage it and stay calm. You feel proud of yourself for facing your fears and building your resilience.

“Remember, you have the power to choose how you think and feel about contamination and germs. You can choose to react with anxiety and avoidance, or you can choose to respond with confidence and self-compassion. The choice is yours, and you are capable of making positive choices.”

This script is just a sample, and the actual hypnotherapy sessions would be tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals.
