Anti-suicide Hypnotherapy

Visualize yourself engaging in activities that bring you joy, whether it’s spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking care of yourself. You are living a life that is meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling.

Here is a sample anti-suicide hypnotherapy script:

*Introduction*

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you can find a safe and supportive space to explore your feelings and thoughts. My name is [Your Name], and I’ll be guiding you through this process. Please know that everything shared in this session will remain confidential and respected.

Before we begin, I want to acknowledge that you’re taking a brave step by seeking help. It takes a lot of courage to admit when we need support, and I’m honored that you’ve chosen to take this step.

As we work together, I want you to know that you’re not alone, and there’s hope for a brighter future ahead. You are strong, capable, and deserving of love, care, and compassion – including your own.

*Induction*

“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes. Feel your shoulders dropping, your jaw releasing, and your fists unclenching. With each breath, allow yourself to let go of any tension, anxiety, or fear.

Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful place, where you feel safe and at ease. This could be a beach, a forest, or a cozy room in your home. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this environment, taking in the sights, sounds, and sensations.

*Deepening*

“As you continue to breathe deeply, I’ll count from 10 to 1, and with each number, allow yourself to relax even further. 10… feeling your body relaxing, 9… letting go of any worries, 8… calming your mind, 7… releasing any physical tension, 6… slowing down your heartbeat, 5… feeling more peaceful, 4… relaxing your muscles, 3… calming your emotions, 2… letting go of any stress, 1… feeling completely relaxed and at ease.

*Suggestions*

“Now, I want you to imagine a bright, warm light filling your entire body. This light represents hope, optimism, and positivity. As it grows, it dissolves any dark or heavy feelings, replacing them with a sense of calm and clarity.

Repeat after me: ‘I am strong and capable of overcoming any challenges.’ ‘I am worthy of love, care, and compassion.’ ‘I am not alone, and there are people who care about me.’

Imagine a protective shield surrounding you, keeping you safe from negative thoughts and emotions. This shield is impenetrable, and it reminds you that you are valuable, important, and deserving of a happy, fulfilling life.

*Reframing Suicidal Thoughts*

“Now, I want to acknowledge that you may have had thoughts of suicide in the past. It’s essential to recognize that these thoughts are not a reflection of your worth or value as a person. They are a symptom of pain, distress, and a cry for help.

Imagine these thoughts as a stormy weather, and you are the captain of your ship. You have the power to navigate through these turbulent waters, seeking safe harbor and calmer seas. You are not alone, and there are people who care about you, who want to help you find a way out of this storm.

Repeat after me: ‘I am not my thoughts. I am not defined by my struggles. I am a strong, capable, and resilient person.’

*Visualization*

“Imagine yourself in a future where you’ve overcome these challenges. You’re standing tall, feeling proud, and confident in your ability to handle life’s ups and downs. You’re surrounded by people who love and support you, and you know that you are never alone.

Visualize yourself engaging in activities that bring you joy, whether it’s spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking care of yourself. You are living a life that is meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling.

*Conclusion*

“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to integrate these positive suggestions and visualizations into your subconscious mind. Remember, you are strong, capable, and deserving of a happy, fulfilling life.

When you’re ready, you can slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more hopeful about your future. Know that you can always come back to this peaceful place, and that I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and recovery.”

*Post-Hypnosis*

“After the session, take some time to reflect on your experience. Notice any changes in your thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations. Remember to be kind and compassionate towards yourself, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support when you need it.”

*Important Reminders*

* It’s essential to work with a qualified hypnotherapist who has experience in treating suicidal ideation and has a thorough understanding of the client’s specific needs and circumstances.
* Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment, and clients should be encouraged to seek help from a licensed therapist or psychiatrist in addition to hypnotherapy sessions.

Please note that this script is a sample and should be adapted to the client’s specific needs and circumstances. It’s crucial to prioritize the client’s safety and well-being above all else.
