With the power of your mind allow yourself to fully absorb the feelings of open-mindedness, tolerance, and empathy. You are now empowered to think more critically, to question your own assumptions, and to approach discussions with respect and understanding.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for removing the false consensus bias effect from your mind:
Induction
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll take a journey to quiet your mind, calm your emotions, and cultivate a more balanced perspective. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to release. Imagine yourself in a comfortable, peaceful place, where you feel completely relaxed and at ease.
As you continue to breathe deeply, allow your eyelids to grow heavy, and your eyes to gently close. Feel your body sinking deeper into relaxation, letting go of any mental chatter or emotional attachment. Imagine a warm, calming light filling your mind, quieting your thoughts and calming your emotions.
You are now entering a state of deep relaxation, where your subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions and new perspectives.”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself standing in a vast, open space, surrounded by clarity and objectivity. With each breath, feel your mind expanding, becoming more receptive to new information and fresh insights.
As you walk through this open space, notice how your thoughts become clearer, more rational, and less biased. Imagine any mental filters or preconceptions dissolving, like clouds disappearing on a sunny day.
You are now in a state of deep relaxation, where your mind is open, receptive, and ready to explore new ideas and perspectives.”
Suggestions for Removing the False Consensus Bias Effect
“Imagine your mind as a mirror, reflecting the diversity of opinions and perspectives objectively, without distortion or bias. See yourself recognizing that your beliefs and opinions are not necessarily shared by others, and that others may have valid perspectives and beliefs that differ from your own.
As you breathe in, imagine the false consensus bias effect dissolving, like mist evaporating in the morning sun. As you exhale, imagine any assumptions, biases, or misconceptions leaving your mind, making room for open-mindedness and tolerance.
You are now empowered to recognize and challenge your own biases, to consider alternative perspectives, and to approach discussions with empathy and understanding. You trust your ability to think critically, to question your own assumptions, and to explore new ideas with an open mind.
Your subconscious mind is now programming your thoughts to embrace objectivity, to value diversity of thought, and to celebrate the freedom of considering multiple perspectives.”
Visualization
“Imagine yourself in a conversation or discussion with someone who holds a different opinion or perspective. See yourself listening actively, considering their point of view, and responding thoughtfully.
Notice how you feel more open-minded, more tolerant, and more willing to consider alternative perspectives. Imagine the sense of freedom and empowerment that comes with recognizing that your beliefs and opinions are not the only valid ones.
As you visualize this scenario, allow yourself to fully absorb the feelings of open-mindedness, tolerance, and empathy. You are now empowered to think more critically, to question your own assumptions, and to approach discussions with respect and understanding.”
Awakening
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow yourself to slowly return to a state of full awareness. Notice how you feel more balanced, more open-minded, and more confident in your ability to consider multiple perspectives.
Remember that you have the power to recognize and overcome the false consensus bias effect, to think more critically, and to approach discussions with empathy and understanding. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling refreshed, renewed, and empowered to think more objectively.”
