Imagine yourself responding to challenging situations with confidence, with courage, and with resilience. Imagine yourself facing painful feelings with ease, with acceptance, and with compassion.
Here is a script for a hypnotherapy session to help deal with painful feelings:
Induction
(Help the client relax and enter a trance state)
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax. Feel your muscles letting go of any tension or stress. Imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation with each breath.
Imagine you’re floating on a cloud, gently drifting upwards, feeling lighter and more relaxed with each passing moment. As you continue to breathe deeply, allow your eyelids to grow heavy, and your eyes to slowly close.
You’re feeling more relaxed, more calm, and more at peace with each passing moment. Allow yourself to let go of any thoughts, any worries, and any concerns. You’re safe, you’re calm, and you’re relaxed.”
Deepening
(Deepen the trance state and create a sense of safety)
“Now, I want you to imagine yourself in a peaceful, serene environment. It could be a beach, a forest, or a cozy room in your home. Wherever it is, allow yourself to fully immerse in this place.
Notice the sights, sounds, and sensations of this place. Notice how good it feels to be here, surrounded by peace and calm. With each breath, allow yourself to feel more relaxed, more centered, and more grounded in this peaceful place.
As you continue to breathe deeply, repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am safe, I am calm, I am relaxed.'”
Painful Feelings
(Address the issue of painful feelings and promote positive change)
“Now, bring to mind the painful feelings that you’ve been experiencing. Perhaps it’s sadness, anger, or frustration. Whatever it is, allow yourself to acknowledge it, and allow yourself to feel it.
Imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to fill your body, starting at the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes. As this light spreads, allow yourself to let go of any painful emotions, any stressful thoughts, and any uncomfortable sensations.
Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I am strong, I am capable, I am resilient.’
Imagine yourself responding to challenging situations with confidence, with courage, and with resilience. Imagine yourself facing painful feelings with ease, with acceptance, and with compassion.
Remember, painful feelings are a natural part of life, but you have the power to choose how you respond to them. You have the power to let go, to forgive, and to heal.”
Reinforcement
(Reinforce positive change and confidence)
“As you continue to breathe deeply, allow yourself to fully integrate this newfound confidence into your daily life. Imagine yourself facing challenges with ease, with confidence, and with resilience.
Remember, you’re not limited by your past, you’re not limited by your fears, and you’re not limited by your doubts. You have the power to choose how you respond to any situation. You have the power to let go, to forgive, and to heal.
Repeat the following phrase to yourself: ‘I trust myself, I trust my choices, and I trust my ability to heal.’
As you slowly begin to open your eyes, take with you the knowledge that you are strong, you are capable, and you are resilient. Remember to breathe deeply, to stay grounded, and to trust yourself, no matter what.”
Awakening
(Help the client come out of trance state and return to a state of full awareness)
“Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, slowly begin to open your eyes. Notice how you’re feeling, notice how your body is feeling, and notice how your emotions are feeling.
Take a moment to acknowledge the confidence and resilience that you’ve accessed during this session. Remember, it’s always available to you, whenever you need it.
As you go about your day, take with you the confidence, the courage, and the resilience that you’ve accessed during this session. Remember to breathe deeply, to stay grounded, and to trust yourself, no matter what.”
