You can return to this peaceful, relaxed state whenever you need to. Simply take a deep breath, close your eyes, and recall the feelings of calm and tranquility that you’ve experienced today.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for reducing stress and anxiety:
Induction
(Soft, calming music plays in the background)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to let go of stress and anxiety. Find a comfortable seated or lying position, with your back supported. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Allow your body to relax, feeling the weight of your seat on the chair or the support of the surface beneath you.
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a peaceful lake on a warm summer day. Feel the gentle breeze on your skin, and the warm sun shining down on you. With each breath, allow yourself to become more relaxed, more calm, and more at ease.”
Deepening
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself walking down a gentle slope, becoming more and more relaxed with each step. With each breath, feel your body letting go of any tension or stress. Allow your muscles to release, your mind to quiet, and your heart to calm.
Imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to fill your body, starting at the crown of your head. As this light travels down through your face, neck, and shoulders, it dissolves any areas of tension or stress. Allow this light to fill your entire body, warming and calming you, and bringing you a sense of peace and tranquility.”
Suggestion
“Now, imagine that you are in a safe, peaceful place, where you feel completely relaxed and at ease. This could be a beach, a forest, or any other place that feels calming to you. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this environment, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations.
As you breathe in, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm and relaxed’ to yourself. As you breathe out, repeat the phrase ‘I release all stress and anxiety.’ Allow these words to become a mantra, helping you to let go of any worries or concerns.
Imagine that with each breath, you are letting go of any thoughts or emotions that no longer serve you. Allow yourself to release any feelings of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm, and instead, cultivate a sense of peace, calm, and tranquility.”
Specific Suggestions for Stress and Anxiety
“Imagine that you have a special ‘stress and anxiety release button’ located on your arm or hand. Each time you press this button, you feel a wave of relaxation wash over you, dissolving any areas of tension or stress.
Whenever you feel stressed or anxious, simply take a deep breath, press your ‘release button,’ and allow yourself to let go of any worries or concerns. Trust that you are capable of handling any situation that comes your way, and that you have the tools and resources to manage stress and anxiety.
Remember, you are strong, capable, and resilient. You are deserving of peace, calm, and happiness. Allow yourself to trust in your own abilities, and to know that you can handle whatever life brings your way.”
Counting Up and Awakening
“When you’re ready, slowly begin to bring your attention back to the present moment. Take a few deep breaths, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more at peace.
Imagine that you’re counting up from 1 to 5, and with each number, you’re becoming more alert, more awake, and more aware. 1… you’re beginning to stir, feeling refreshed and renewed. 2… you’re becoming more alert, more aware of your surroundings. 3… you’re stretching, feeling more energized and focused. 4… you’re fully awake, feeling calm, relaxed, and at peace. 5… you’re back to full awareness, feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the day.”
Post-Hypnotic Suggestion
“Remember, you can return to this peaceful, relaxed state whenever you need to. Simply take a deep breath, close your eyes, and recall the feelings of calm and tranquility that you’ve experienced today. Trust that you have the power to manage stress and anxiety, and that you are deserving of peace, happiness, and well-being.”
