Imagine a bright, radiant light filling the space where the burden once was. This light represents your inner peace, self-love, and self-acceptance.

Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for overcoming guilt:

**Induction**

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll embark on a journey of self-forgiveness and release, letting go of guilt and shame. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to relax, letting go of any tension or stress.

Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, serene environment, surrounded by calming colors and soothing sounds. With each breath, feel your body relax, your mind calm, and your heart rate slow down.

As you inhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am safe’ to yourself. And as you exhale, repeat ‘I am forgiven.’ Allow these words to become a gentle mantra, guiding you deeper into relaxation and self-forgiveness.

Now, take a moment to visualize a warm, comforting light filling your body, starting from the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes. As this light travels, it nourishes your heart and mind, helping you to release any guilt or shame.”

**Deepening**

“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation, like a leaf gently floating down a peaceful stream. With each breath, your body becomes heavier, more relaxed, and more tranquil.

Now, visualize a staircase before you, descending into the depths of your subconscious mind. With each step, you feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more open to releasing guilt and shame.

Take 5-10 deep breaths, and with each exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I release all guilt and shame.’ Allow yourself to let go of any negative self-talk, self-criticism, or regrets that may be holding you back.”

**Releasing Guilt**

“Imagine a burden or weight on your shoulders, representing the guilt or shame you’ve been carrying. See this burden slowly lifting, as if it’s being lifted off your shoulders by an unseen force.

As you visualize, repeat the phrase ‘I forgive myself’ to yourself. Allow these words to become a powerful affirmation, releasing any guilt or shame that’s been holding you back.

Now, imagine a bright, radiant light filling the space where the burden once was. This light represents your inner peace, self-love, and self-acceptance.

As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the phrase ‘I am worthy of forgiveness.’ Allow yourself to feel a sense of self-compassion, understanding, and love for yourself.”

**Integration and Awakening**

“Take a moment to acknowledge the profound shift that has occurred within you. Notice how your body feels lighter, your mind clearer, and your heart more at peace.

As you slowly return to a state of full consciousness, remember that you have the power to choose your thoughts, to let go of guilt and shame, and to cultivate a sense of self-love and self-acceptance.

When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath, feeling refreshed, renewed, and empowered to live a life of self-compassion and forgiveness.”

**Final Suggestions**

“Remember to practice self-compassion, kindness, and patience with yourself as you navigate the journey of overcoming guilt. You are capable of cultivating a more loving and accepting relationship with yourself, and this will have a profound impact on your overall well-being and happiness.

And whenever you need to revisit this peaceful state, simply close your eyes, take a deep breath, and repeat the phrase ‘I forgive myself.’ Allow yourself to return to this sacred space, where you can access your inner peace, self-love, and self-acceptance.”
