Title: “Healing from Trauma”

Introduction:

(Soothing music plays in the background. The hypnotherapist’s voice is calm and gentle.)

Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. Allow yourself to settle in and get comfortable. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel any tension or stress leave your body. Imagine yourself in a safe and peaceful place, where you can let go of any worries or concerns.”

Induction:

(Soft, calming music continues to play.)

Hypnotherapist: “Now, I’d like you to close your eyes and take a deep breath in. As you inhale, imagine fresh, relaxing air filling your lungs. Hold the breath for a moment… and then exhale slowly, feeling any tension or stress release from your body. As you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I let go’ to yourself. Allow yourself to let go of any thoughts, worries, or concerns. Simply focus on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body.”

(Continue the induction process, guiding you into a relaxed state.)

Deepening:

(Soothing music and gentle voice continue.)

Hypnotherapist: “Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each step down, you feel more calm, more relaxed, and more focused. Take your first step down… feeling the gentle give of the step beneath your foot. As you descend, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am focused.’ Take another step down… and another… and another. With each step, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more centered, and more aware.”

Managing Trauma:

(Soft music continues, with a gentle, guiding voice.)

Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe space. It could be a beach, a forest, or a cozy room. Wherever you are, allow yourself to feel comfortable and supported. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. As you exhale, imagine any thoughts, worries, or concerns leaving your body.

“Bring your attention to any traumatic memories or experiences that may be associated with your dissociation. Imagine these memories being stored in a safe, locked box. As you inhale, imagine the box being surrounded by a soothing, calming light. As you exhale, imagine any distress, anxiety, or fear being released, making space for greater peace, calmness, and tranquility.

“Imagine yourself developing a greater sense of control and mastery over these traumatic memories. Allow yourself to acknowledge the trauma, but also remind yourself that it is in the past. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs, and as you exhale, imagine any remaining distress, anxiety, or fear being released, making space for greater healing, growth, and transformation.

“Consider the people, places, and activities that help you feel safe, supported, and comforted. Imagine these supports being available to you whenever you need them, providing a sense of stability and comfort. As you inhale, imagine the sense of safety, security, and comfort expanding within you. As you exhale, imagine any feelings of danger, vulnerability, or fear being released, making space for greater confidence, resilience, and empowerment.”

Reprocessing Memories:

(Soft music continues, with a gentle, guiding voice.)

Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe space, surrounded by a soothing, calming light. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. As you exhale, imagine any thoughts, worries, or concerns leaving your body.

“Bring your attention to any traumatic memories or experiences that may be associated with your dissociation. Imagine these memories being reprocessed, allowing you to reframe and reinterpret them in a more positive, empowering way. As you inhale, imagine the memories being surrounded by a soothing, calming light. As you exhale, imagine any distress, anxiety, or fear being released, making space for greater peace, calmness, and tranquility.

“Consider the lessons, insights, and strength you have gained from these experiences. Imagine these lessons being integrated into your present, allowing you to grow, learn, and heal. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs, and as you exhale, imagine any remaining distress, anxiety, or fear being released, making space for greater confidence, resilience, and empowerment.”

Integration and Grounding:

(Soft music and gentle voice continue.)

Hypnotherapist: “As you continue to breathe in and out, imagine yourself becoming more aware, more present, and more connected to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Notice any shifts, changes, or insights that may have arisen during this process.

“As you slowly begin to bring your attention back to the present moment, imagine yourself feeling more grounded, more centered, and more aware. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am focused’ to yourself.

“Remember, this sense of calmness, relaxation, and focus is always available to you. Whenever you need to reconnect with yourself, simply take a deep breath, imagine the soothing light filling your body, and repeat the phrase ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am focused.’ You can return to this peaceful, safe space whenever you need to recharge, reflect, or reconnect with yourself.”

Awakening:

(Soft music begins to fade out, and the hypnotherapist’s voice becomes slightly more prominent.)

Hypnotherapist: “As you slowly begin to awaken from this state of relaxation, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself feeling refreshed, renewed, and more aware. Notice how your body feels, how your mind feels, and how your spirit feels. Take a moment to journal or reflect on any insights, shifts, or changes that may have occurred during this process.”

(Soft music ends, and the hypnotherapist’s voice becomes more direct.)

Hypnotherapist: “Take your time, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Remember, you can return to this peaceful, safe space whenever you need to reconnect with yourself and manage your trauma and memories associated with your dissociation disorder.”
