Preferring independence but uncomfortable with intimacy.
Avoidant Attachment Style (Dismissive):
- Individuals with this style prioritize independence and autonomy and may have difficulty with intimacy and emotional vulnerability.
- They may be emotionally distant and may avoid close relationships to protect themselves from potential pain or rejection.
- They may have difficulty trusting others and may be uncomfortable with expressing their emotions.
Here’s a hypnotherapy script to help let go of a dismissive-avoidant attachment style:
Induction and Relaxation
(Soft, calming music can be played in the background)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll let go of a dismissive-avoidant attachment style and cultivate a more secure and loving way of relating to others. Find a comfortable seated or lying position, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Allow your body to relax, starting from your toes, up through your legs, hips, back, shoulders, arms, and head. As you exhale, feel any tension or stress leave your body. Imagine yourself in a safe, peaceful environment, where you feel protected and supported.
Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I let go’ to yourself. Allow your mind and body to let go of any resistance, worries, or concerns. You’re here to release a dismissive-avoidant attachment style and connect with your emotions and others on a deeper level.”
Accessing the Subconscious
“Imagine you’re standing in front of a door. This door represents your subconscious mind, where your deepest thoughts, feelings, and memories reside. With each breath, feel the door slowly creaking open, allowing you to access your subconscious.
As you step through the door, you find yourself in a room filled with memories and emotions related to your attachment style. Notice how you’ve been pushing others away, suppressing your emotions, and prioritizing independence over intimacy. Acknowledge the underlying fears and insecurities driving this pattern.
Repeat to yourself: ‘I have been using a dismissive-avoidant attachment style to cope with intimacy and emotions.’ Allow this acknowledgment to sink deeply into your subconscious mind.”
Releasing the Pattern
“Imagine a warm, compassionate light beginning to fill the room. This light represents your desire for connection, empathy, and understanding. As the light grows, it starts to dissolve the rigid walls you’ve built around yourself, shielding you from emotional vulnerability.
Repeat to yourself: ‘I release the need to suppress my emotions and push others away. I let go of the fear of intimacy and vulnerability.’ Allow the light to wash over you, gently guiding you towards a more open and receptive heart.
With each breath, feel the dismissive-avoidant pattern loosening its grip on you. Imagine yourself becoming more empathetic, more communicative, and more loving in your relationships.”
Reprogramming the Subconscious
“Now, imagine a new, positive pattern emerging. See yourself in a healthy, loving relationship, where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Notice how you express your emotions effectively, receive love and care with gratitude, and nurture meaningful connections with others.
Repeat to yourself: ‘I am worthy of love and connection. I trust others to support me and respect my boundaries. I am capable of forming healthy, secure relationships.’ Allow these positive affirmations to sink deeply into your subconscious mind, replacing the old, limiting patterns.”
Integration and Awakening
“Take a few deep breaths, and slowly begin to bring your attention back to the present moment. Notice how you feel more relaxed, more open, and more receptive to the possibility of secure attachment.
Remember that this is just the beginning of your journey. Be patient and kind to yourself as you integrate these new insights and patterns. You can return to this peaceful, loving state whenever you need to recharge and reconnect with your inner self.”
Counting Up and Awakening
“When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat to yourself: ‘I am renewed, I am refreshed, and I am open to a more loving and secure way of being.’ Count up slowly, and when you reach 5, you’ll feel refreshed, revitalized, and ready to take on the day with a new perspective.”
