Your mind has the power to overcome your fear of being touched and cultivate a sense of comfort and safety with physical contact.

Here is a script for a hypnotherapy session focused on overcoming a fear of being touched:

Induction

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to overcome your fear of being touched and cultivate a sense of comfort and safety with physical contact. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to relax, letting go of any tension or stress.

Imagine yourself in a peaceful, comforting place, where you feel safe and relaxed. This could be a beach at sunset, a forest glade, or a cozy room in your home. Take a moment to visualize this place, and allow yourself to fully immerse in its tranquility.

As you continue to breathe deeply, I’ll guide you through this session, and we’ll explore ways to overcome your fear of being touched, build trust, and cultivate a sense of comfort and safety with physical contact.”

Deepening

“Now, imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to fill your body, starting at the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes. As this light travels through your body, it relaxes each muscle, quieting your mind and calming your emotions.

With each breath, this light grows stronger, filling you with a sense of peace and tranquility. You feel your eyelids growing heavy, your shoulders releasing, and your heart rate slowing. You’re becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more serene with each passing moment.

Allow yourself to let go of any thoughts or worries, and simply focus on the sensation of this peaceful light filling your body.”

Visualization

“Imagine yourself in a situation where someone is touching you in a non-threatening way, such as a gentle hand on your arm or a comforting hug. Notice how you feel. Do you feel anxious, scared, or uncomfortable? Allow yourself to fully immerse in this feeling, and then take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine any fear, anxiety, or discomfort leaving your body.

Now, imagine yourself feeling comfortable and safe with physical contact. You’re able to receive touch from others without feeling anxious or scared. You’re building trust and confidence in your ability to set boundaries and communicate your needs.

Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am safe, I am in control, and I trust myself to set boundaries and communicate my needs.'”

Empowerment

“Imagine a sense of confidence and empowerment growing within you. You’re aware of your strengths, your accomplishments, and your positive qualities. You know that you deserve to feel safe and comfortable with physical contact.

As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am safe, I am in control, and I trust myself to set boundaries and communicate my needs.’ Allow these words to fill you with confidence and empowerment.

Now, imagine yourself making choices that align with your values and goals in regards to physical contact. You’re prioritizing communication, boundaries, and consent. You’re building a strong, healthy foundation for your relationships, and you’re feeling proud, satisfied, and happy.

As you continue to visualize this scenario, notice how you feel. Do you feel confident, empowered, and safe with physical contact? Allow yourself to integrate this feeling into your daily life, knowing that you have the power to overcome your fear of being touched and cultivate a sense of comfort and safety with physical contact.”

Integration

“Now, imagine yourself back in your peaceful, comforting place. Notice how you feel different, how you feel more confident, more empowered, and more comfortable with physical contact.

Take a moment to integrate this new feeling of confidence into your daily life. Imagine yourself facing similar situations, but this time, you respond with confidence, self-assurance, and a sense of comfort and safety with physical contact.

As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am safe, I am in control, and I trust myself to set boundaries and communicate my needs.'”

Counting and Awakening

“As you continue to breathe deeply, I’ll count from 1 to 5, and when I reach 5, you’ll slowly, gently open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and filled with a sense of confidence and empowerment in regards to physical contact.

1… Your body feels relaxed, your mind is calm, and your heart is at peace.

2… You’re aware of your breath, slow and steady, filling you with tranquility.

3… Your thoughts are clear, your emotions are balanced, and your spirit is confident.

4… You feel connected to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.

5… When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, carrying this sense of confidence and empowerment with you into your daily life.”
