Title: “Awakening to Awareness”

Introduction:

(Soothing music plays in the background. The hypnotherapist’s voice is calm and gentle.)

Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. Allow yourself to settle in and get comfortable. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel any tension or stress leave your body. Imagine yourself in a safe and peaceful place, where you can let go of any worries or concerns.”

Induction:

(Soft, calming music continues to play.)

Hypnotherapist: “Now, I’d like you to close your eyes and take a deep breath in. As you inhale, imagine fresh, relaxing air filling your lungs. Hold the breath for a moment… and then exhale slowly, feeling any tension or stress release from your body. As you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I let go’ to yourself. Allow yourself to let go of any thoughts, worries, or concerns. Simply focus on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body.”

(Continue the induction process, guiding the client into a relaxed state.)

Deepening:

(Soothing music and gentle voice continue.)

Hypnotherapist: “Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each step down, you feel more calm, more relaxed, and more focused. Take your first step down… feeling the gentle give of the step beneath your foot. As you descend, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am focused.’ Take another step down… and another… and another. With each step, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more centered, and more aware.”

Activation and Self-Awareness:

(Soft music continues, with a gentle, guiding voice.)

Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe space. It could be a beach, a forest, or a cozy room. Wherever you are, allow yourself to feel comfortable and supported. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. As you exhale, imagine any thoughts, worries, or concerns leaving your body.

“Bring your attention to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Notice any areas of tension or discomfort. Allow yourself to acknowledge these sensations without judgment. As you observe these sensations, imagine a gentle, soothing light beginning to fill your body. This light represents awareness, understanding, and compassion.

“As you inhale, imagine this light expanding, filling any areas of tension or discomfort. As you exhale, imagine any thoughts, worries, or concerns being released, making space for greater awareness and understanding. Repeat the phrase ‘I am aware, I am present, I am whole’ to yourself.

“Now, bring your attention to any parts of yourself that may feel disconnected, fragmented, or hidden. Imagine these parts being gently illuminated by the soothing light. As you breathe in, imagine these parts beginning to reconnect, reintegrate, and heal. As you exhale, imagine any barriers or walls that may have been separating these parts beginning to dissolve.

“Allow yourself to observe these parts with kindness, compassion, and understanding. Imagine them being welcomed back into your conscious awareness, like old friends returning home. As you inhale, imagine the sense of connection, wholeness, and unity expanding within you. As you exhale, imagine any remaining thoughts, worries, or concerns being released, making space for greater self-awareness and understanding.”

Integration and Grounding:

(Soft music and gentle voice continue.)

Hypnotherapist: “As you continue to breathe in and out, imagine yourself becoming more aware, more present, and more connected to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Notice any shifts, changes, or insights that may have arisen during this process.

“As you slowly begin to bring your attention back to the present moment, imagine yourself feeling more grounded, more centered, and more aware. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am aware, I am present, I am whole’ to yourself.

“Remember, this sense of awareness, connection, and wholeness is always available to you. Whenever you need to reconnect with yourself, simply take a deep breath, imagine the soothing light filling your body, and repeat the phrase ‘I am aware, I am present, I am whole.’ You can return to this peaceful, safe space whenever you need to recharge, reflect, or reconnect with yourself.”

Awakening:

(Soft music begins to fade out, and the hypnotherapist’s voice becomes slightly more prominent.)

Hypnotherapist: “As you slowly begin to awaken from this state of relaxation, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself feeling refreshed, renewed, and more aware. Notice how your body feels, how your mind feels, and how your spirit feels. Take a moment to journal or reflect on any insights, shifts, or changes that may have occurred during this process.”

(Soft music ends, and the hypnotherapist’s voice becomes more direct.)

Hypnotherapist: “Take your time, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Remember, you can return to this peaceful, safe space whenever you need to reconnect with yourself and cultivate greater self-awareness.”

This script is designed to help individuals with dissociation disorder become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, and to cultivate a greater sense of connection and wholeness. However, please note that hypnotherapy should only be conducted by a licensed and trained hypnotherapist, and under the guidance of a qualified mental health professional.
