Here is a sample hypnotherapy script for reducing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy:
Induction
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you can relax, let go, and find relief from nausea and vomiting. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your body relax, starting from the top of your head, down to your toes. Allow your eyelids to grow heavy, and your breathing to slow down. With each breath, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more calm, and more peaceful.”
Deepening
“Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a peaceful lake, surrounded by tall trees that block out any distractions. The air is calm, and the sound of the water lapping against the shore is soothing. Take a few moments to imagine yourself in this peaceful place, and notice how your body feels, how your mind feels. Allow yourself to let go of any tension, any anxiety, and any discomfort.
“As you continue to breathe deeply, I want you to imagine a warm, soothing light filling your body, starting from the top of your head, down to your toes. This light represents relaxation, calmness, and comfort. As it fills your body, it dissolves any nausea, any vomiting, and any discomfort, leaving you feeling calm, relaxed, and peaceful.”
