With the power of your mind take a moment and see your own insights, and remember to practice self-compassion and kindness throughout your day.

Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script to help let go of people pleasing:

Title: Embracing Authenticity and Releasing People Pleasing

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 in a serene, peaceful forest, surrounded by tall trees that block out all worries and concerns. 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 people pleasing.”

People Pleasing Awareness:

“Bring to mind a situation where you felt the need to people please, sacrificing your own desires or boundaries for someone else’s approval. 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 behaviour.

“Repeat after me: ‘I acknowledge my pattern of people pleasing, and I am willing to let it go.'”

Boundary Setting:

“Imagine a bright, protective light surrounding your entire body, representing your personal boundaries. See this light growing stronger and more vibrant with each breath, filling you with confidence and self-awareness.

“Visualize a scenario where someone asks you to do something that doesn’t align with your values or desires. Notice how your protective light responds, gently yet firmly asserting your boundaries.

Repeat after me: ‘I trust myself to set healthy boundaries, and I communicate them with confidence.'”

Self-Worth and Identity:

“Imagine a beautiful, radiant mirror in front of you, reflecting your true self. See your self-worth and identity shining brightly, untainted by the need for external validation. Notice how this sense of self-worth feels, and allow it to grow stronger with each breath.

“Repeat after me: ‘My self-worth comes from within, and I am enough, just as I am.'”

Empowerment and Authenticity:

“Feel a surge of empowerment and confidence flowing through your entire body, filling you with the courage to be your authentic self. Imagine expressing yourself freely, making choices that align with your values, and living life on your own terms.

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

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 authenticity whenever you choose.

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