Imagine that you are slowly releasing the tension in the ball, feeling it begin to relax and unwind. Watch as it slowly deflates, becoming smaller and smaller, until it disappears completely.
Here is a sample script for a hypnotherapy session focused on addressing sexual dysfunction caused by feelings of anxiety:
Title: “Releasing Anxiety and Embracing Pleasure”
Induction:
“Welcome, and take a deep breath in. As you exhale, allow yourself to relax and let go of any tension or stress. Imagine yourself in a peaceful, calming environment, where you feel safe and supported.
“As you settle in, take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your eyes to gently close. Feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm with each breath. You are safe, and you are in control.
“Imagine yourself descending a peaceful staircase, with each step, feeling yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more centered. With each breath, repeat the phrase ‘I am relaxed’ to yourself, allowing the words to sink deep into your subconscious mind.”
Deepening:
“Imagine yourself in a beautiful, serene beach, surrounded by the soothing sounds of the waves and the warmth of the sun on your skin. Notice the feeling of calmness and relaxation in this environment.
“As you walk along the beach, notice the different shells and pebbles that represent different aspects of your life. See the shells of relaxation, the pebbles of calmness, and the sparkling water of clarity. Allow yourself to feel a sense of connection to this beach, and know that it represents the best version of yourself.”
Anxiety and Sexual Dysfunction:
“Now, imagine that you are holding a small, tight ball in your hand. This ball represents the anxiety and tension that may be affecting your sexual functioning. Notice how it feels, perhaps tight, constricted, and overwhelming.
“Imagine that you are slowly releasing the tension in the ball, feeling it begin to relax and unwind. Watch as it slowly deflates, becoming smaller and smaller, until it disappears completely.
“Repeat after me: ‘I release anxiety and tension.’ ‘I let go of fear and doubt.’ ‘I trust in my ability to relax and enjoy.’
“Imagine that with each breath, you are letting go of any remaining anxiety or tension, and instead, filling yourself with relaxation, calmness, and confidence. See yourself as a sexual being, capable of pleasure, intimacy, and connection.”
Visualization:
“Now, imagine that you are in a loving, intimate situation with your partner. See yourself as connected, present, and fully engaged. Notice the sensations in your body, the feelings of pleasure and arousal.
“Imagine that you are fully absorbed in the moment, enjoying the sensations and the connection with your partner. See yourself as a sexual being, confident, relaxed, and fully present.
“As you visualize this scenario, repeat after me: ‘I am fully present in the moment.’ ‘I trust in my abilities.’ ‘I am worthy of pleasure and intimacy.'”
Counting and Awakening:
“Now, take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly count backwards from five, feeling yourself becoming more alert and awake with each number. Five… four… three… two… one.
“When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, and take a deep breath in, feeling refreshed, renewed, and more connected to your body and your sexuality.”
