“I am capable of expressing myself openly and honestly, and of listening actively to others. I trust myself to communicate effectively and to build stronger relationships.”
Here is a hypnotherapy script to help someone stop stonewalling or shutting down:
Title: “Opening Up to Emotional Connection”
Induction:
(Soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s voice is calm and reassuring.)
Hypnotherapist: “Welcome to this hypnotherapy session. Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe out, allow yourself to relax. Feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and calm. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, safe space where you can let go of all worries and concerns.”
(Pause for 10-15 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine a warm, comforting light filling your body, starting from the crown of your head, flowing down through your neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, lower back, and down to your toes. This light represents relaxation, calmness, and tranquility.”
Deepening:
Hypnotherapist: “Now, I’d like you to imagine yourself standing in a beautiful, serene meadow. With each step forward, you feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more at peace. Take a step forward, and as you do, repeat after me: ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am at peace.'”
(Pause for 5-10 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “Take another step forward, and again, repeat after me: ‘I am calm, I am relaxed, I am at peace.'”
(Repeat this process 3-4 times, pausing for 5-10 seconds between each step.)
Suggestions:
Hypnotherapist: “Now, imagine yourself in a situation where you might typically stonewall or shut down. See yourself in that scenario, and notice how you feel.”
(Pause for 10-15 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “I want you to acknowledge that stonewalling or shutting down is not a effective way to communicate or resolve conflicts. It’s essential to learn how to express yourself openly and honestly, and to listen actively to others.”
(Pause for 10-15 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “Imagine yourself taking a deep breath, and choosing to respond openly and authentically. See yourself expressing your thoughts and feelings in a clear and respectful manner, and listening to others without judgment. Notice how this shift in perspective makes you feel more connected, more understood, and more empowered.”
(Pause for 10-15 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “From this day forward, I want you to commit to opening up to emotional connection and communication. Trust that this newfound awareness will bring you greater clarity, understanding, and harmony in your relationships.”
Reinforcement:
Hypnotherapist: “Repeat after me: ‘I choose to open up to emotional connection and communication.'”
(Pause for 5-10 seconds)
Hypnotherapist: “I am capable of expressing myself openly and honestly, and of listening actively to others. I trust myself to communicate effectively and to build stronger relationships.”
Counting and Awakening:
Hypnotherapist: “Now, I’ll count from 1 to 5, and when I reach 5, you’ll slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, relaxed, and calm. You’ll remember the suggestions we’ve worked on today, and you’ll integrate them into your daily life.”
(Pause for 5-10 seconds between each count)
Hypnotherapist: “1… 2… 3… 4… 5. Open your eyes, and take a deep breath in. You’re back in the present moment, feeling refreshed and renewed.”
Final Suggestions:
Hypnotherapist: “Remember, opening up to emotional connection and communication is a powerful step towards greater clarity, understanding, and harmony in your relationships. Practice this new awareness, and watch your relationships transform in positive ways.”
(Soothing music continues to play for another 10-15 seconds before fading out.)
