See yourself staying calm, thinking critically, and making intentional decisions, even in the face of uncertainty or adversity.
Here’s a sample hypnotherapy script for overcoming self-doubt and fear for clear thinking:
Introduction
(Soothing music plays in the background. Speak in a calm, gentle tone)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to overcome self-doubt and fear, and cultivate clear thinking. Allow yourself to relax, let go of any tension, and simply be present in this moment. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel any thoughts or worries drifting away.
Imagine yourself in a peaceful, quiet space, where you can focus on your inner world and let go of any self-doubt or fear. Take a moment to notice the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the sensation of the air on your skin, and the sound of my voice guiding you.”
Induction
“Close your eyes and take another deep breath in. As you breathe out, imagine any thoughts or distractions drifting away, like clouds disappearing into the sky. Feel your body relax, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes. Allow your muscles to release any tension, letting go of any stress or anxiety.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase, with each step leading you deeper into relaxation. As you begin to descend, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. With each step, repeat the phrase ‘I am calm, I am clear’ to yourself. Take your time, and allow yourself to settle into a peaceful state.”
Deepening
“Now, imagine yourself in a state of perfect clarity and confidence. You’re able to think clearly, make informed decisions, and trust yourself to handle any situation that comes your way. Imagine a bright, clear light shining in front of you, representing your ability to think critically and make intentional choices. As you breathe in, imagine this light growing stronger, filling your mind with clarity and purpose.
Repeat the following phrases to yourself, allowing the words to become a part of your inner dialogue:
* ‘I am clear, I am confident, and I am in control.’
* ‘I trust myself to make intentional decisions and cultivate a greater sense of self-trust.’
* ‘I am capable of thinking critically and making informed choices.’
* ‘I am free from self-doubt and fear, and I am empowered to think clearly and make intentional decisions.’
As you continue to breathe in this clear and confident energy, imagine yourself handling challenging situations with ease. See yourself staying calm, thinking critically, and making intentional decisions, even in the face of uncertainty or adversity.”
Overcoming Self-Doubt
“Now, imagine yourself facing a situation that normally triggers self-doubt or fear. It could be a public speaking engagement, a difficult conversation, or a challenging project at work. As you imagine yourself in this situation, notice how you feel. Notice any physical sensations, any thoughts or emotions that arise.
Now, imagine yourself taking a step back, assessing the situation, and reminding yourself of your strengths and abilities. See yourself thinking clearly and critically, and making an intentional decision about how to proceed. Imagine the sense of confidence and self-trust that comes with knowing you can handle any challenge that comes your way.
Repeat the phrase ‘I trust myself to make intentional decisions’ to yourself, feeling the truth of these words resonating deep within your soul.”
Reframing Negative Thoughts
“Now, imagine yourself becoming aware of any negative thoughts or self-doubting patterns that may be holding you back. See yourself recognizing these thoughts, and reframing them in a more positive and empowering way.
For example, if you notice yourself thinking ‘I’m not good enough,’ reframe this thought as ‘I am capable and competent, and I trust myself to learn and grow.’ If you notice yourself thinking ‘I’m afraid of failure,’ reframe this thought as ‘I am brave and resilient, and I trust myself to handle any outcome.’
As you continue to breathe in this clear and confident energy, imagine yourself feeling a sense of freedom and empowerment. See yourself thinking clearly and critically, and making intentional decisions that align with your values and goals.”
Counting Up and Awakening
“When you’re ready, slowly begin to bring your attention back to the present moment. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself becoming more alert and aware. Repeat the phrase ‘I am clear, I am confident, and I am in control’ one last time, feeling the words settle into your subconscious mind.
Slowly count yourself up, from 1 to 5, and when you reach 5, you’ll feel fully awake, refreshed, and empowered. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5.
Take a deep breath in, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. Remember, the sense of clarity and confidence you’ve cultivated during this session will stay with you, guiding and empowering you to think clearly and make intentional decisions.”
Conclusion
“Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling. Notice any shifts in your perspective, any changes in your body or your mind. Remember that you have the power to think clearly, make informed decisions, and trust yourself to handle any challenge that comes your way. And when you’re ready, take a deep breath in, and step into your day with renewed clarity, confidence, and self-trust.”
