Allow yourself to relive that experience, to recapture the feeling of emotional freedom, and to reconnect with your natural sense of emotional well-being.
Here is a sample hypnotherapy script to help let go of emotions linked to depression:
Title: “Emotional Liberation: Letting Go of Emotions Linked to Depression”
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 in a calm, serene lake, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. With each breath, feel your body becoming lighter, more relaxed, and more at peace.
As you breathe in, imagine fresh, calming air filling your lungs. As you exhale, imagine any emotional pain, distress, or discomfort leaving your body, like ripples disappearing 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 floating on the lake, feeling the gentle breeze on your skin and the warm sun on your face. With each breath, feel your body becoming more relaxed, more peaceful, and more calm.
Notice the sensation of your body floating on the lake, the sensation of the air on your skin, and the sound of the water lapping against the shore.
As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to let go of any remaining emotional pain or distress. Imagine it melting away, like ice dissolving in the sun, leaving you feeling lighter, more peaceful, and more free.”
Regression:
“Now, allow yourself to drift back to a time when you felt emotionally free, when you were able to express your emotions in a healthy and constructive way. Remember the feeling of emotional liberation, the sense of lightness, and the joy of living in the present moment.
Allow yourself to relive that experience, to recapture the feeling of emotional freedom, and to reconnect with your natural sense of emotional well-being.
Notice how your body responds to this memory, how your posture improves, and how your energy levels increase.”
Reframing:
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine that with each inhale, you are filling yourself with emotional freedom, peace, and liberation. Imagine that with each exhale, you are releasing any negative emotions, patterns, or beliefs that do not serve you.
Repeat after me: ‘I am emotionally free, I am at peace, and I am liberated from the past. I trust myself to express my emotions in a healthy and constructive way, and I choose to live in the present moment.’
Allow these words to sink deep into your subconscious mind, reprogramming your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours around emotional freedom and well-being.”
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 confident.
Repeat after me: ‘I love and accept myself exactly as I am. I trust myself to make decisions that align with my values and goals. I am worthy of living a life filled with emotional freedom, purpose, and joy.’
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 emotional liberation and freedom from 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 more emotionally free, peaceful, and fulfilling life.”
Final Suggestion:
“Before you go, take a moment to write down one thing you are looking forward to doing today. It can be as simple as taking a walk or enjoying a cup of coffee. As you write, feel the excitement and anticipation spreading throughout your body, filling you with positivity and motivation.
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 improvements in your emotional well-being, mood, and overall quality of life.”
