With the power of your mind imagine yourself responding to challenging situations with confidence and assertiveness. See yourself taking charge of your responsibilities, making decisions, and taking action.
Here’s a hypnotherapy script to help overcome running away from responsibilities:
Induction
[Soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s calming voice begins the induction process.]
Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. My voice will guide you into a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind will be open to positive suggestions and growth. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, letting go of any tension or stress.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each breath, take a step down, feeling your body relax further with each step. Your eyelids growing heavy, your breathing slow and calm…
You are now at the bottom of the staircase, in a peaceful, serene environment. Allow yourself to relax further, feeling safe and comfortable.”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself surrounded by a warm, comforting light. This light represents your subconscious mind, guiding you towards positive change and growth. With each breath, this light grows stronger, filling you with confidence and self-assurance.
As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am strong and capable of handling my responsibilities.'”
Reframing
“Now, bring to mind the situations or tasks that make you feel anxious or inclined to run away from responsibility. Allow yourself to witness these situations, but from a detached perspective, as if you’re watching a movie.
Notice how running away from responsibility has affected your life, relationships, and self-esteem. Allow yourself to acknowledge the feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety that come with avoiding responsibility.
Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am capable of facing my responsibilities head-on. I am strong and resilient.’
Visualization
“Imagine yourself responding to challenging situations with confidence and assertiveness. See yourself taking charge of your responsibilities, making decisions, and taking action. Visualize the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with taking ownership of your life.
Remember, you are capable of overcoming any obstacle. You are strong, resilient, and confident. Repeat the phrase again: ‘I am capable of facing my responsibilities head-on. I am strong and resilient.’
Anchoring
“As you continue to breathe deeply, anchor this feeling of confidence and responsibility into your subconscious mind. Imagine a bright, pulsing light at the center of your chest, representing your commitment to taking ownership of your life.
Whenever you feel the urge to run away from responsibility, repeat the phrase to yourself, and visualize this bright light growing stronger, guiding you towards positive action and decision-making.
Counting and Awakening
“Now, I’ll count from 1 to 5, and when I reach 5, you’ll slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, confident, and ready to take responsibility for your life.
1… 2… 3… 4… 5. Open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling empowered to take control of your life and make positive changes.”
Remember, this script is just a guide, and it’s essential to work with a qualified hypnotherapist who can tailor the script to your specific needs and goals.
