Recognize that you are more than your work. You are a multifaceted individual with passions, interests, and desires beyond your professional life. It’s essential to find balance and prioritize self-care, rest, and relaxation.

Here is a hypnotherapy script to help individuals stop chasing the obsession with never-ending work:

Induction

(Soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s calm and gentle voice guides the client into a state of deep relaxation)

Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. Allow yourself to relax, let go of any tension or stress. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your body relax, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more centered.”

Deepening

Hypnotherapist: “Imagine yourself in a peaceful meadow, surrounded by lush green grass and vibrant wildflowers. The sound of a gentle brook flows in the distance, and the warm sun shines down upon you. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more peaceful.”

Progression

Hypnotherapist: “Now, bring to mind the concept of work. What does it mean to you? What does it represent? Allow yourself to fully immerse in this thought, and as you do, notice how it makes you feel. Is it a sense of purpose, accomplishment, or perhaps a feeling of never being done?”

(Pause for a few moments)

Hypnotherapist: “Imagine a never-ending treadmill in front of you, representing the constant demand for more work, more productivity, and more achievement. Take a moment to honestly reflect on how you feel about this treadmill. Is it exhausting, draining, or perhaps fulfilling?”

Reframing

Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine a gentle breeze whispering in your ear, ‘Work is a means to an end, not the end itself. It’s a way to provide for yourself and your loved ones, but it’s not the definition of your worth or identity.’ Allow this truth to resonate deep within your being.”

Hypnotherapist: “Recognize that you are more than your work. You are a multifaceted individual with passions, interests, and desires beyond your professional life. It’s essential to find balance and prioritize self-care, rest, and relaxation.”

Releasing

Hypnotherapist: “As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine any attachment to the obsession with never-ending work slowly releasing, like the soft falling of autumn leaves. With each exhalation, feel this attachment letting go, dissolving, and disappearing.”

Hypnotherapist: “Repeat after me: ‘I release the need for constant work. I am enough, just as I am. I deserve rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.'”

Integration

Hypnotherapist: “As you slowly return to a state of full awareness, take with you the understanding that work is not the sole purpose of your existence. Remember to prioritize your well-being, set healthy boundaries, and make time for the things that bring you joy and fulfillment.”

Hypnotherapist: “When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more at peace with your work-life balance.”
