Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script for healing core abandonment wounds:
Introduction and Induction
(Speak in a calm, soothing voice)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll have the opportunity to heal and release any core abandonment wounds that may be holding you back. Allow yourself to get comfortable, either sitting or lying down, and take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Imagine yourself in a safe and peaceful place, where you feel completely relaxed and protected. This could be a beach, a forest, or any other location that brings you a sense of calm and serenity.
As you breathe in, allow yourself to relax further, feeling any tension or stress melt away. And as you breathe out, imagine any worries or concerns leaving your body.
Now, I’ll guide you into a deeper state of relaxation, using a count of ten. As I count, allow yourself to feel more relaxed and focused with each number.”
(Count from 10 to 1, using a slow and soothing tone)
Deepening the Relaxation
“Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with ten steps leading down to a peaceful and serene place. With each step, you’ll feel more relaxed and focused.
As you take the first step, feel your feet connecting with the step below. Your legs begin to relax, and any tension in your body starts to release.
Take the second step, and feel your hips and lower back relaxing. Your breathing becomes slower and more relaxed.
Continue down the stairs, feeling more relaxed with each step. Your mind becomes quieter, and your body feels heavier, as if sinking into the earth.
At the bottom of the stairs, you find yourself in a peaceful and serene place. Allow yourself to take a moment to notice the sights, sounds, and sensations in this space.”
Accessing the Abandonment Wound
“Now, imagine a gentle, soothing light beginning to shine in front of you. This light represents your own inner comfort and security. As you focus on this light, allow yourself to access any memories or experiences that may be connected to feelings of abandonment.
Perhaps you recall a specific event or situation where you felt abandoned or left behind by someone else, or maybe you’ve been carrying around feelings of self-abandonment. Allow these memories to arise, without judgment or attachment.
As you focus on this experience, notice how your body is responding. Are there any areas of tension or discomfort? Allow yourself to acknowledge these sensations, and know that you’re safe and supported in this space.”
Releasing the Abandonment Wound
“Now, imagine a warm, nurturing energy beginning to flow into your body. This energy is like a comforting hug, reassuring and protective.
As this energy flows into your body, it begins to fill any areas of tension or discomfort. Imagine this energy calming and soothing your nervous system, releasing any emotional charge connected to the abandonment wound.
As you exhale, imagine any feelings of fear, anxiety, or loneliness leaving your body. Allow yourself to release any need to hold onto these emotions, knowing that they no longer serve you.
With each breath, feel yourself becoming more grounded, more centered, and more at peace. Your body begins to relax further, and your mind becomes quieter.
Now, imagine a bright, pulsing light beginning to fill the space where the abandonment wound was held. This light represents your own inner sense of safety and security, and it’s filling any areas of emptiness or pain.
As this light grows brighter, imagine it spreading throughout your body, filling you with a sense of comfort and protection. You begin to feel more secure, more confident, and more trusting of yourself and others.”
Reparenting and Self-Support
“Imagine yourself as a child, and imagine that you’re being held in the arms of a loving, nurturing caregiver. This caregiver represents your own inner wisdom and love.
As you’re held in these loving arms, allow yourself to feel a deep sense of safety and security. Imagine that you’re being told that you’re loved, that you’re worthy, and that you’re enough, just as you are.
Allow yourself to receive this love and support, and imagine it filling any areas of your heart and mind that may have been wounded by abandonment. As you receive this love, imagine that you’re becoming more whole, more complete, and more at peace.
Now, imagine that you’re able to offer this same love and support to yourself, as an adult. Imagine that you’re able to be kind, compassionate, and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a dear friend.
Allow yourself to integrate this sense of self-love and self-support, knowing that it’s always available to you. You are safe, you are loved, and you are enough, just as you are.”
Integration and Closure
“Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling now. Notice any shifts in your body or your emotions. Allow yourself to integrate this new sense of safety and security, knowing that it’s always available to you.
As you slowly begin to come back to full awareness, remember that you can return to this peaceful and serene space anytime you need to. You can access this sense of calm and relaxation whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed.
Take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, you can open your eyes. Remember to take this sense of self-love and self-support with you, and know that you’re always guided and protected on your journey towards healing and growth.”
Post-Hypnotic Suggestions
(Speak in a calm, gentle voice)
“From this day forward, you’ll find that you’re more confident and self-assured. You’ll trust yourself and your own inner wisdom, knowing that you’re safe and supported.
You’ll be kinder and more compassionate towards yourself, and you’ll trust that you’re always doing the best you can. You’ll feel more connected to your own heart and intuition, and you’ll be more resilient in the face of challenges.
Remember, you are safe, you are loved, and you are enough, just as you are. You are deserving of love, care, and compassion, and you’ll always be guided and supported on your journey towards healing and growth.”
