Imagine yourself in a situation that normally would trigger strong emotions. Imagine yourself reacting to this situation with emotional calmness, responding rather than reacting.
Here is a sample script for an emotional calmness visualization hypnotherapy session:
Induction
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll embark on a journey of relaxation and emotional calmness. Find a comfortable position, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to leave your body.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, take your first step down. With each breath, take another step down, feeling heavier and more relaxed with each step.
Now, imagine being in a peaceful place, where you feel safe and comfortable. This could be a sunny beach, a quiet forest, or a cozy room in your home. Take a moment to visualize this place, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations.
As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to let go of any remaining tension or thoughts. You are completely relaxed and focused on the present moment.”
Deepening
“Now, imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to emanate from the crown of your head. This light represents relaxation and calmness, and it’s spreading throughout your body, filling you with a sense of peace and tranquility.
As the light travels down through your body, it’s melting away any remaining tension or discomfort. Your muscles are becoming heavier, your breath is becoming slower, and your mind is becoming quieter.
Allow yourself to surrender to this relaxation, letting go of any need to control or resist. You are safe, you are relaxed, and you are ready to explore your subconscious mind.”
Visualization
“Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, serene environment. Notice the calmness of the atmosphere, the stillness of the air, and the tranquility of the surroundings.
Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself feeling a sense of emotional calmness. Imagine your emotions settling, like the gentle lapping of waves on the shore.
Notice how this feels. Imagine the sensation of being calm, centered, and grounded. Imagine yourself feeling more confident, more relaxed, and more at peace.
Now, imagine yourself in a situation that normally would trigger strong emotions. Imagine yourself reacting to this situation with emotional calmness, responding rather than reacting.
Imagine the sense of control and confidence that comes with being emotionally calm. Imagine feeling more patient, more understanding, and more compassionate towards yourself and others.”
Affirmations
“Repeat after me: ‘I am emotionally calm and centered. I trust myself to respond to situations with clarity and confidence. I am patient, understanding, and compassionate towards myself and others.’
Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine these affirmations becoming a part of your subconscious mind, guiding your thoughts and emotions towards emotional calmness and tranquility.”
Conclusion
“Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling now. Notice any changes in your body or your mind. Allow yourself to integrate these positive changes, knowing that they will stay with you long after this session is over.
Remember, you can return to this peaceful place whenever you need to, and you can always use visualization and affirmations to reinforce positive change.
When you’re ready, you can slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more emotionally calm and centered.”
