See yourself communicating your needs clearly, and assertively. You’re no longer passive or resentful; you’re confident and empowered. You’re prioritizing your own needs, and you’re open to nurturing relationships that are mutually supportive and respectful.
Here is a hypnotherapy script to help someone say NO to people who only come around when they need something:
Induction
(Soft, calming music plays in the background)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll explore your relationships and learn to say NO to people who only come around when they need something. Allow yourself to settle in, getting comfortable and relaxed. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Feel your body letting go of any tension, allowing yourself to sink deeper into relaxation with each breath.”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. With each step down, you feel more calm, more centered, and more connected to your inner self. Take a step down, and feel your body relax further. Take another step down, and feel your mind quiet. Take one more step down, and allow yourself to let go of any thoughts or distractions.”
Identifying the Pattern
“Now, imagine yourself in a situation where someone only reaches out to you when they need something. See yourself feeling used, drained, or resentful. Notice how you often prioritize their needs over your own, even when it’s not reciprocated. Allow yourself to acknowledge this pattern, without judgment. You may have learned to prioritize others’ needs as a way to feel loved, valued, or needed. But deep down, you know that this dynamic can be toxic, and it’s time to set boundaries.”
Reframing the Relationship
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine a conversation with this person. See yourself feeling confident, clear, and assertive. Hear yourself saying, ‘I’m not available to help you right now. I prioritize my own needs and well-being.’ Practice saying these words, feeling the power and conviction behind them. You’re no longer obligated to cater to their needs; you’re free to prioritize your own well-being.”
Empowering the NO
“Now, visualize a strong, assertive voice within you. This voice says, ‘NO’ to people who only come around when they need something. Repeat to yourself, ‘I deserve reciprocal relationships. I prioritize my own needs and well-being.’ Feel the confidence and self-trust that comes with this mindset. Imagine yourself standing up straight, with your shoulders back and your head held high. You’re no longer drained by toxic relationships; you’re free to nurture connections that uplift and support you.”
Visualizing Healthy Boundaries
“Imagine yourself setting healthy boundaries with this person. See yourself communicating your needs clearly, and assertively. You’re no longer passive or resentful; you’re confident and empowered. You’re prioritizing your own needs, and you’re open to nurturing relationships that are mutually supportive and respectful.”
Integration
“As you integrate this newfound awareness and confidence, imagine yourself navigating relationships with greater ease and self-assurance. You’re no longer drained by toxic dynamics; you’re free to cultivate connections that uplift and support you.”
Counting Up
“When you’re ready, slowly begin to bring yourself back to full awareness. Take a deep breath in, and out. Feel refreshed, renewed, and empowered. Take one last, deep breath, and when you’re ready, open your eyes.”
Post-Hypnotic Suggestion
“Remember, you deserve reciprocal relationships that uplift and support you. Say NO to people who only come around when they need something, and YES to healthy, mutually supportive connections.”
Reinforcement
“Repeat to yourself, daily, ‘I prioritize my own needs and well-being. I deserve reciprocal relationships that uplift and support me. I’m confident in my ability to set healthy boundaries and nurture positive connections.'”
