Use the Beat the Everyday Blues Script to Pull Downtrodden Clients Out of a Funk

Many people feel down from time to time without experiencing full-blown clinical depression. Nevertheless, these short periods of pessimistic feelings and low energy can be an impediment to optimal functioning, especially when they lead to feelings of guilt or threaten to spiral into a more serious condition.

The Beat the Everyday Blues Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help clients process and overcome their downtrodden feelings. By helping patients relax and recharge, the script allows clients to embrace a more positive outlook on their lives.

The pre-talk opens by explaining possible causes of the blues. Through listed examples of what the client may be feeling and why, it showcases deep knowledge of the condition and instills a sense of trust in the process.

Downtrodden feelings can stem from a variety of factors, including perfectionism; too much worry; or bad habits that include poor diet, lack of exercise, and little sleep. All of these might contribute to an overworked mental state that results in negative moods and feelings.

The purpose and benefits of the session are explained. The client is reassured that hypnosis can help them relax while preparing their unconscious mind to make adjustments that will help them feel better during their waking hours.

The induction begins with a progressive relaxation that starts with the head and slowly works its way downward. Along the way, embedded commands instruct the client to feel a deep sense of calm.

The client is guided to picture themselves strolling through a scenic mountain path. Through flowing language, the client is assured that their unconscious mind can process and benefit from this hypnosis session whether or not they listen closely.

As the client strolls along the path, they are directed to make use of all of their senses, from hearing the crunching sounds beneath their feet to feeling the warm touch of sunlight on their face. The client is asked to take a deep breath of refreshing mountain air and "feel its goodness" working healing sensations through their body.

The client is given more time to enjoy their imagined walk before being asked to consider what would happen when bad weather strikes the scene. They are guided through such an event, as they are guided to imagine a sudden storm breaking out and a cold breeze whipping through the air. The client is led to seek shelter indoors.

From a comfortable spot inside, the client is led to consider inclement weather. Bad storms always pass, even though they might feel infinite when they're raging. Furthering the metaphor, the client is guided to see the positive aspects of bad weather, including its ability to provide a helpful contrast to sunshine, making the "good things in life" easier to notice and appreciate.

Now, the client is asked to consider happier times in their own life. An embedded command directs them to fully enter that memory and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of that time.

Now, the client returns to their indoor shelter. As they look around, they notice "the skies have cleared" and they feel a deep sense of "being restored" in body and mind. The majestic, sunny scene comes back into view in full vibrant colors. As the client is guided to take another deep breath of mountain air, an embedded command directs them to feel "wonderfully satisfied."
