Free Stigmatized Clients from Internalizing Prejudice with the Rise Above Discrimination Script

Discrimination is an insidious practice. Through overt gestures and less obvious aggression, it chips away at the confidence and self-worth of people, leaving many feeling tired, hopeless, and unworthy.

The Rise Above Discrimination Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help clients deal with discrimination in healthy ways that keep their self image intact and empower them to report problematic behaviors.

The script opens with a pre-talk that frames discrimination as a wide-ranging set of behaviors rooted in ignorance, with the goal of the depersonalization of groups. The client is assured they are not responsible for it, nor does it reflect anything about them as a person.

The goal of the session is explained as a way to help the client connect with their strengths, set inner boundaries, and feel more calm and confident about dealing with discriminatory encounters. They are assured the session will not teach them to accept or shrug off discrimination, but will help them feel more assertive in taking actions that confirm their dignity.

The induction begins by making use of embedded commands that direct the client to relax and breathe evenly. They are then asked to picture an inviting scene of a location they have visited or would enjoy visiting. They are guided to picture beautiful elements that make up the scene. A similar exercise is used that asks the client to picture a sound that elicits positive and relaxing sensations.

The client is led to get a sense of a "wave of comfort" flowing through their body as a countdown progressively relaxes them into a trance state.

As the trancework begins, the client pictures a place deep inside of themselves. It is a place of "complete acceptance and safety" where an embedded command assures them they will "find clarity and strength."

Flowing language encourages the client to view their inner sanctuary as a place where they can encounter deeply supportive presences from the past, present, and future, who speak encouraging words that serve to relax them and remind them of their intrinsic value as a human.

As they further relax, the client discovers they have the power to protect themselves and erect facades that keep their self-worth safe from outside forces. The client is reminded that there are genuinely good people in the world. They are reassured that it’s okay to stick up for themselves.

The next section of the script focuses on deconditioning any previous experiences of discrimination in order to free the client up to adopt new responses to it in future. The script continues from here.
