Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for breaking a bad habit:
Induction
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to break your bad habit and live a healthier, happier life. Find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, relaxing place. It could be a beach, a forest, or a mountain meadow. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this scene, taking in the sights, sounds, and sensations.
As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calm air filling your lungs. As you breathe out, imagine any tension, anxiety, or stress leaving your body. Repeat this process several times, allowing yourself to relax more with each breath.”
Deepening
“Now, I’d like you to imagine a gentle, soothing warmth spreading through your body, starting at the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes. As this warmth spreads, it’s calming your mind, relaxing your body, and quieting your nervous system.
Imagine yourself becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm with each breath. Your eyelids are growing heavy, and your body is feeling more and more relaxed.”
Suggestions
“When you’re ready, imagine yourself breaking your bad habit and adopting a healthier, more positive behavior. You’re feeling confident, motivated, and in control.
Repeat the following affirmations to yourself:
* I am in control of my habits and my life.
* I choose to break my bad habit and adopt a healthier behavior.
* I am strong, capable, and confident in my ability to make positive changes.
Visualization
“Now, imagine yourself in a situation where you would normally engage in the bad habit. But this time, you’re choosing to do something different. You’re choosing to break the habit and adopt a healthier behaviour.
Imagine yourself feeling proud, confident, and empowered as you make this positive change.
Reinforcement
“Remember, you have the power to break your bad habit and live a healthier, happier life. You are strong, capable, and confident in your ability to make positive changes.
Repeat the following affirmations to yourself daily:
* I am in control of my habits and my life.
* I choose to break my bad habit and adopt a healthier behavior.
* I am strong, capable, and confident in my ability to make positive changes.”
Counting and Awakening
“As you continue to relax and visualize yourself breaking your bad habit, I’ll count from five to one, and when I reach one, you’ll slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to make positive changes.
Five… your body is relaxed, your mind
Remember to practice self-hypnosis regularly to reinforce these positive affirmations and to continue building your confidence and motivation to break the habit.
