Here is a sample hypnotherapy script to help let go of changes in appetite linked to depression:
Title: “Breaking Free from Appetite Changes: Rediscovering Joy and Balance”
Induction:
“Welcome to this safe and peaceful place. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow any tension or stress to leave your body. Allow your eyes to gently close, and let your mind settle into a state of relaxation.
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a serene lake, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. With each breath, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more grounded.
As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. As you exhale, imagine any worries or concerns leaving your body, like leaves floating away on the surface of the lake.
Allow yourself to sink deeper into this peaceful state, where your mind and body can let go of all tension and resistance.”
Deepening:
“Now, imagine yourself walking along the lake’s edge, feeling the warm sun on your skin and the gentle breeze in your hair. With each step, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more at peace.
Notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the sensation of the air on your skin, and the sound of the water lapping against the shore.
As you continue to walk, allow yourself to let go of any remaining tension or stress. Imagine it melting away, like the ebbing of the tide, leaving you feeling calm, centered, and relaxed.”
Regression:
“Now, allow yourself to drift back to a time when you felt carefree, when your appetite was balanced, and you enjoyed the pleasure of eating. Remember the flavors, the textures, the aromas, and the sensations of that time.
Allow yourself to relive that experience, to recapture the joy and satisfaction of eating without guilt or shame. Notice how your body responds to this memory, how your appetite is reawakened, and how you feel more connected to your body’s needs.”
Reframing:
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine that with each inhale, you are filling yourself with confidence, self-acceptance, and self-love. Imagine that with each exhale, you are releasing any negative thoughts, emotions, or patterns related to your appetite.
Repeat after me: ‘I am worthy of nourishing my body with food that brings me joy and satisfaction. I trust my body to guide me in making healthy choices. I release all guilt, shame, and fear related to my appetite.’
Allow these words to sink deep into your subconscious mind, reprogramming your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors around food and eating.”
Empowerment:
“Now, imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror, looking at your reflection with kindness, compassion, and understanding. Notice how your body has changed, how it has grown stronger, more resilient, and more capable.
Repeat after me: ‘I love and accept myself exactly as I am. I trust my body to guide me in making choices that nourish my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I am worthy of living a life filled with joy, purpose, and fulfillment.’
Allow these words to resonate deep within your heart, filling you with confidence, self-love, and empowerment.”
Closure:
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself slowly opening your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and revitalized. Know that you have taken the first step towards breaking free from the changes in appetite linked to depression.
Remember, you are not alone, and you are capable of overcoming this challenge. Trust in yourself, trust in your body, and trust in the power of hypnosis to guide you towards a brighter, more balanced future.”
Final Suggestion:
“Before you go, take a moment to write down one thing you are grateful for today. It can be as simple as a good cup of coffee or a beautiful sunset. As you write, feel the gratitude spreading throughout your body, filling you with joy and positivity.
Know that this hypnosis session has planted a seed of change within you, and with consistent practice and self-care, you will begin to notice significant shifts in your appetite, mood, and overall well-being.”
