Here is a sample script for a change codependency to independence with hypnotherapy session:

Induction

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Find a comfortable position, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to leave your body.

Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, take your first step down. With each breath, take another step down, feeling heavier and more relaxed with each step.

Now, imagine being in a peaceful place, where you feel safe and comfortable. This could be a sunny beach, a quiet forest, or a cozy room in your home. Take a moment to visualize this place, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations.

As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to let go of any remaining tension or thoughts. You are completely relaxed and focused on the present moment.”

Deepening

“Now, imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to emanate from the crown of your head. This light represents relaxation and calmness, and it’s spreading throughout your body, filling you with a sense of peace and tranquility.

As the light travels down through your body, it’s melting away any remaining tension or discomfort. Your muscles are becoming heavier, your breath is becoming slower, and your mind is becoming quieter.

Allow yourself to surrender to this relaxation, letting go of any need to control or resist. You are safe, you are relaxed, and you are ready to explore your subconscious mind.”

Visualization

“Imagine yourself in a situation where you would normally feel dependent on someone else. Imagine yourself feeling trapped, stuck, or unsure of what to do.

Now, imagine a strength and power rising up within you. Imagine yourself standing tall, feeling confident and self-assured. Imagine yourself making decisions and taking actions that align with your own needs and desires.

Notice how this feels. Imagine the sensation of being independent, of being able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions. Imagine the sense of freedom and empowerment that comes with being self-sufficient.

Now, imagine yourself in a scenario where someone is trying to manipulate or control you. Imagine yourself standing firm, setting clear boundaries and asserting your needs. Imagine yourself saying ‘no’ without guilt or apology, and feeling confident in your decision.

Notice how this feels. Imagine the sensation of being strong and assertive, of being able to stand up for yourself and protect your own needs.”

Affirmations

“Repeat after me: ‘I am capable and confident in my ability to take care of myself. I am strong and assertive in my relationships. I trust myself to make good decisions and set healthy boundaries.’

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine these affirmations becoming a part of your subconscious mind, guiding your thoughts and emotions towards independence and self-empowerment.”

Conclusion

“Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling now. Notice any changes in your body or your mind. Allow yourself to integrate these positive changes, knowing that they will stay with you long after this session is over.

Remember, you can return to this peaceful place whenever you need to, and you can always use visualization and affirmations to reinforce positive change.

When you’re ready, you can slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more confident and independent.”
