Healing Feelings of Guilt, including Survivour Guilt linked to PTSD with Hypnotherapy

Imagine yourself integrating this newfound awareness, this newfound forgiveness and self-love. Allow yourself to feel a sense of peace, a sense of closure, and a sense of freedom.

Here is a hypnotherapy script to help individuals heal feelings of guilt, including survivor guilt linked to PTSD:

Induction

“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll connect with your inner self and tap into your body’s natural healing abilities. Allow yourself to relax, breathe deeply, and let go of any tension or stress. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment, where you feel completely safe and comfortable.

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your eyelids to grow heavy, your shoulders to drop, and your body to relax even further. Feel your heart rate slowing down, your mind quieting, and your body surrendering to the present moment.

Repeat after me: ‘I trust myself, I trust my body, and I trust the natural healing process.'”

Deepening

Imagine yourself walking down a staircase, with each step, you’re sinking deeper and deeper into relaxation. As you reach the bottom, you find yourself in a warm, soothing pool of water. Feel the gentle waves caressing your body, calming your mind, and rejuvenating your spirit.

Allow yourself to drift off, letting go of any residual tension or anxiety. You’re completely safe, supported, and protected in this hypnotic state.

Guilt and Shame

“Now, bring your attention to your feelings of guilt and shame. Imagine a weight on your chest, a heavy burden that’s been holding you back. Allow yourself to acknowledge these feelings, to recognize the pain and suffering they’ve caused.

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I acknowledge my guilt, I acknowledge my shame, and I choose to let them go.’ Allow yourself to release these feelings, to let them flow out of your body like water flowing out of a vessel.

Imagine a warm, golden light filling the space where the weight once was. This light represents forgiveness, self-love, and acceptance. Allow yourself to bask in this light, to feel its warmth and comfort.

Repeat after me: ‘I forgive myself, I love myself, and I accept myself.'”

Survivor Guilt

“Now, bring your attention to your feelings of survivor guilt. Imagine a voice in your head, a voice that tells you that you don’t deserve to be alive, that you should have died instead. Allow yourself to acknowledge this voice, to recognize its power and influence.

Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat after me: ‘I acknowledge this voice, I acknowledge its power, and I choose to silence it.’ Allow yourself to silence this voice, to tell it that it’s not true, that you do deserve to be alive.

Imagine a strong, confident voice in your head, a voice that tells you that you’re strong, capable, and deserving of life. Allow yourself to listen to this voice, to believe its words and to feel its confidence.

Repeat after me: ‘I am strong, I am capable, and I am deserving of life.'”

Integration and Closure

“Take a moment to acknowledge the incredible work you’ve done today. You’ve faced your guilt, shame, and survivor guilt, and you’ve chosen to release them.

Imagine yourself integrating this newfound awareness, this newfound forgiveness and self-love. Allow yourself to feel a sense of peace, a sense of closure, and a sense of freedom.

Repeat after me: ‘I am free, I am forgiven, and I am worthy of love and acceptance.'”

Closing

“Take a moment to acknowledge the incredible work you’ve done today. You’ve healed your feelings of guilt, shame, and survivor guilt, and you’ve taken a major step towards overcoming PTSD.

Remember, this is a journey, and every day, you’re one step closer to overcoming PTSD and living a fulfilling life. Trust in yourself, trust in your body, and know that you’re capable of healing and moving forward.

When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and full of hope. Take this sense of calm and confidence with you, and remember to practice self-care, self-love, and positivity on your journey to healing.”
