Title: “Letting Go of the Leash: Finding Peace After the Loss of a Canine Companion”
Introduction:
“Hello, My name is [Your Name], and I’ll be guiding you through this hypnotherapy session. Losing a beloved dog is never easy, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by grief and sadness. But today, we’re going to work together to find a way to let go of some of that pain and find peace. So take a deep breath in, and let’s begin.”
Induction:
“Get comfortable, either sitting or lying down, and take a few deep breaths. Feel the air fill your lungs, and then exhale slowly. As you breathe out, allow any tension or stress to leave your body. Imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, serene environment, surrounded by nature and the calming sounds of birds chirping.
“Now, imagine a gentle, soothing mist beginning to fill the air, enveloping you in relaxation and peace. As you inhale, feel the mist entering your body, calming your mind and heart. As you exhale, feel any sadness, grief, or pain leaving your body, like a leaf drifting gently to the ground.”
Deepening:
“As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to become even more relaxed. Imagine your body sinking into the ground, becoming heavier and more relaxed with each breath. Feel your eyelids growing heavy, and your body melting into the comfort of the natural surroundings.
“Now, I’d like you to imagine your dog, [dog’s name], standing in front of you.
See them as they were in their happiest moments, wagging their tail, and showering you with affection.
Notice the sparkle in their eyes, the softness of their fur, and the unique way they would snuggle beside you. Allow yourself to fully connect with the joyful memories you shared with your canine companion.”
Suggestion:
“Remember the times your dog would snuggle beside you, licking away your tears and comforting you in times of need. Allow those feelings to wash over you now, and imagine them filling your heart and soul.
“As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming energy entering your body, soothing any remaining grief or sadness.
With each breath, feel your heart becoming lighter, freer, and more at peace.
“Now, imagine a gentle, loving energy surrounding your dog, guiding them on their journey. See them running free, playing in the sun, and chasing after balls. Know that they are at peace, and that their suffering has ended.
“As you gaze upon your dog, feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the time you shared together.
Recognize that their love and companionship will always be a part of you, and that their memory will never fade.
Allow this awareness to bring you comfort and peace.”
Counting and Awakening:
“Take a few more deep breaths, and as you do, become more aware of your body and your surroundings.
When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more at peace.
Remember, the memory of your beloved dog will always be with you, and that their love will never fade.
“1… 2… 3… 4… 5… You are now fully awake, feeling calm, peaceful, and more at peace.”
Final Suggestion:
“Before we conclude, I want to leave you with a final suggestion.
Whenever you think of your dog, I want you to focus on the happy memories, the laughter, and the joy they brought to your life. Allow those feelings to fill your heart, and know that their love will always be with you.
