Sample Hypnotherapy Script

Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script that may be used in a session:

“Imagine yourself in a calm and peaceful place, where you feel safe and relaxed. As you breathe in, imagine fresh, positive energy entering your body. As you breathe out, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body.

“Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am strong, I am resilient, and I am capable of managing my emotions and behaviors.’ Allow these words to sink deeply into your mind, and feel the truth of them in your heart.

“Imagine yourself in a situation where you are triggered by a dissociative episode. You feel a sense of discomfort and disconnection, but you are able to manage it and respond with self-compassion and self-kindness. You feel proud of yourself for building your self-awareness and self-regulation skills.

“Remember, you have the power to choose how you think and feel about your emotions and behaviors. You can choose to react with dissociation and disconnection, or you can choose to respond with calmness and self-acceptance. The choice is yours, and you are capable of making positive choices.”

This script is just a sample, and the actual hypnotherapy sessions would be tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals.
