Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script to help let go of external validation:

Title: Embracing Self-Validation and Inner Wisdom

Induction:

(Soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s calm and gentle voice guides the listener into a state of relaxation)

Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to leave your body. Feel the weight of your eyelids growing heavier, and let them gently close. Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax further, letting go of any thoughts or worries. You are safe, and you are exactly where you need to be.”

Deepening:

“Imagine yourself standing on a peaceful, sunny beach, feeling the warmth of the sand beneath your feet and the gentle ocean breeze in your hair. With each breath, allow yourself to relax further, feeling your body becoming heavier, and your mind quieter. You are now in a state of deep relaxation, open to positive suggestions and ready to let go of external validation.”

External Validation Awareness:

“Bring to mind a situation where you sought external validation, approval, or recognition from others. Notice how you felt in that moment – the emotions, the thoughts, the physical sensations. Allow yourself to observe this experience without judgment, simply acknowledging the patterns and habits that may have driven your behavior.

“Repeat after me: ‘I acknowledge my need for external validation, and I am willing to let it go.'”

Inner Wisdom:

“Imagine a wise, compassionate guide within you, representing your inner wisdom. See this guide as a trusted source of guidance, always available to support and empower you. Notice how this guide makes you feel – calm, confident, and self-assured.

“Repeat after me: ‘I trust my inner wisdom to guide me, and I trust myself to make decisions that align with my highest good.'”

Self-Validation:

“Visualize a beautiful, radiant flower blooming within your heart center, symbolizing self-validation and self-love. See this flower growing stronger and more vibrant with each breath, filling you with confidence and self-acceptance.

“Repeat after me: ‘I validate myself, and I am enough, just as I am.'”

Empowerment and Self-Trust:

“Feel a surge of empowerment and self-trust flowing through your entire body, filling you with the courage to trust yourself and your decisions. Imagine making choices that align with your values and desires, without seeking external approval or validation.

“Repeat after me: ‘I trust myself to make choices that honour my true self, and I trust myself to be enough.'”

Counting and Awakening:

“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to slowly return to the present moment. When you’re ready, you can open your eyes. Notice how you feel, and remember that you can return to this state of empowered self-validation whenever you choose.

“Take a moment to journal your insights, and remember to practice self-compassion and kindness throughout your day.”
