Acknowledging And Embracing Your Inner Child with Hypnotherapy

Imagine that you are giving your inner child a big hug, holding them close and feeling a sense of unity and connection.

Here is a script for a hypnotherapy session focused on acknowledging and embracing your inner child:

Induction

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. Allow yourself to get comfortable, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel the air fill your lungs, and then release any tension or stress as you exhale.

Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your body. As you breathe out, imagine any thoughts, worries, or tensions leaving your body. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing, letting go of any anxiety or stress.

Take a moment to notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground. Feel the weight of your body distributed evenly, supported by the earth beneath you. Allow yourself to feel grounded and safe.

Now, bring your attention to your breath. Focus on the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest, the expansion and contraction of your lungs. Simply observe your breath, without trying to control it or change it in any way. Allow yourself to relax, to let go, and to simply be.”

Deepening

“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation. Feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. Imagine any thoughts or worries floating away, like clouds disappearing into the sky.

Now, visualize a warm, comforting light filling your body. Imagine this light spreading from the crown of your head, down through your neck, and into your shoulders, arms, and chest. As it spreads, it brings with it a deep sense of relaxation, calmness, and peace.

Allow this light to fill your entire body, dissolving any areas of tension or discomfort. Imagine it soothing your mind, quieting your thoughts, and bringing you into a state of profound relaxation.

As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am at peace.'”

Meeting Your Inner Child

“Now, imagine that you are a child again, playing in a safe and happy environment. It could be a park, a playground, or a beach. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this scenario, feeling the joy and freedom of being a child.

As you play, notice the feelings and emotions that arise within you. Are you feeling happy and carefree, or are you feeling sad or scared? Allow yourself to fully acknowledge and validate these feelings, knowing that they are a part of your inner child.

Now, imagine that your inner child is standing in front of you. Look into their eyes, and see the innocence and vulnerability that exists there. Reach out and take their hand, feeling a sense of connection and compassion.

Repeat the following phrase to your inner child: ‘I see you, I hear you, I love you just the way you are.'”

Embracing Your Inner Child

“As you continue to hold your inner child’s hand, allow yourself to fully embrace and accept them. Know that your inner child is a part of you, and that they deserve love, care, and compassion.

Imagine that you are giving your inner child a big hug, holding them close and feeling a sense of unity and connection. As you hug, repeat the following phrase: ‘I love you, I accept you, I am you.’

As you continue to breathe deeply, feel a sense of integration and wholeness within yourself. Know that your inner child is safe, loved, and accepted, and that you are now fully embracing and integrating this part of yourself.

Take a moment to notice how you feel, and know that you can return to this sense of unity and connection whenever you need to.”

Counting and Awakening

“Now, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly count from five to one. As you count, allow yourself to slowly come back to a state of full awareness, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more connected to your inner child.

Five… feeling more awake and alert

Four… noticing your body and your surroundings

Three… feeling more energized and focused

Two… taking a deep breath, feeling refreshed and renewed

One… opening your eyes, feeling fully awake and alert

Take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Notice how you feel, and take that sense of connection and unity with you into your day.”

Remember to adjust the script to fit your personal style and the needs of your clients. You can also add or modify sections to focus on specific issues, such as self-acceptance, self-love, or inner healing.
