Help Clients Stay True to Themselves with the Avoid Mood Contagion Hypnosis Script

The negative moods of others can be very influential, especially to those closest to us. Being around someone else's anger, worry, resentment, or hostility can be severely emotionally draining.

The Avoid Mood Contagion Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was developed to help clients develop the inner resources to defend themselves against the negative moods of others.

The pre-talk explains the different ways in which other people's moods and attitudes can affect our own. It makes the point that if a person is too influenced by those close to them, they will be less able to offer healthy support, as well as losing sight of their own priorities in life. And while it is good to spend time with those who provide a positive influence, it is also important to develop resources for coping with people who are in negative moods. Clients are reassured that this session will help them reclaim control over their own attitudes and the way they interact with others.

An extended induction reassures clients that they don't have to consciously try to relax. They are gently guided into trance through curiosity, embedded commands, analogy, and relaxing imagery, as their unconscious mind is prepared for positive change.

During the trancework, metaphorical examples and embedded commands encourage clients to distance themselves from other people's negative emotions, to see the person behind such emotions, and to allow themselves to enjoy feeling happy. Hypnotic rehearsal gives clients a sense of how it feels to have choice and control over their life and attention, as embedded commands help them integrate this positive change at an unconscious level.
