You are a capable and confident individual, moving forward towards a brighter future.
Here is a scriptophobia hypnotherapy script specifically for the fear of writing in public:
Induction
(Soothing music starts playing)
“Welcome to this journey of overcoming scriptophobia. My voice will guide you through a peaceful and transformative experience. Allow yourself to let go of any tension or stress you may be holding onto. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your body relax and your mind calm.
Imagine yourself standing in a serene, peaceful environment, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Feel the gentle breeze on your skin, and the warmth of the sun on your face. With each breath, allow yourself to relax further, letting go of any thoughts or worries that may be present.
Now, imagine yourself becoming lighter, as if a weight is lifting off your shoulders. This sensation represents the release of fear and anxiety. Allow yourself to feel free, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be.
As you continue to breathe deeply, I want you to repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am calm, I am confident, I am in control.'”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself surrounded by a calming, soothing light. This light represents emotional healing and confidence. As you breathe in, imagine this light filling your entire body, nourishing your mind, body, and spirit.
Now, imagine a gentle, reassuring voice whispering words of encouragement and support in your ear. This voice represents your inner wisdom, guiding you towards confidence and self-acceptance. Allow yourself to listen to its words, and absorb its wisdom.
You are calm, you are confident, and you are in control. Repeat this phrase to yourself, and allow its truth to sink deep into your mind and heart: ‘I am calm, I am confident, I am in control.'”
Scriptophobia Visualization
“Imagine yourself in a scenario where you need to write in public. You may be thinking of a specific situation or event that triggers your scriptophobia. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this scenario, using all of your senses to bring it to life.
Now, imagine a warm, comforting light surrounding this scenario. This light represents confidence and self-acceptance. As you breathe in, imagine this light filling the scenario, erasing any feelings of fear or anxiety.
You are calm, you are confident, and you are in control. You are able to write freely and easily, without any fear or hesitation. Repeat this phrase to yourself, and allow its truth to anchor deep within your mind and heart: ‘I am calm, I am confident, I am in control.'”
Reframe
“Now, I want you to imagine a reframed perspective on your scriptophobia. Instead of seeing it as a source of fear and anxiety, see it as an opportunity to practice and improve your writing skills. Instead of dwelling on the negative emotions, focus on the positive aspects of writing in public.
You are not defined by your scriptophobia, and you are not held back by fear. You are a capable and confident individual, moving forward towards a brighter future. Repeat this phrase to yourself, and allow its truth to anchor deep within your mind and heart: ‘I am capable, I am confident, I am moving forward.'”
Reinforcement
“As you continue to breathe deeply, I want you to know that this feeling of confidence and self-acceptance will stay with you long after this session is over. It will become a part of your daily life, guiding you towards a path of self-love, self-acceptance, and empowerment.
Whenever you need to access this feeling, simply close your eyes, take a deep breath, and repeat the phrase: ‘I am calm, I am confident, I am in control.’
Remember, you are not alone in your fears, and you are not defined by your scriptophobia. You are a capable and confident individual, moving forward towards a brighter future.”
Awakening
“As you slowly begin to open your eyes, take a deep breath, and when you are ready, you can slowly return to the present moment, feeling refreshed, renewed, and filled with a sense of confidence and self-acceptance.
Remember to take this feeling with you, and to nurture it every day. Know that you have the power to create the life you desire, and that confidence is always within your reach.”
