Hypnosis on self is a powerful technique that can be used to manage intense emotions and reduce stress, including during a meltdown. By using a simple self-hypnosis script like the one below, you can guide yourself into a state of deep relaxation and focus, which can help you manage an autistic meltdown.
Simple Script for Hypnosis on Self
Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. As you exhale, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body.
Take another deep breath in, and as you exhale, imagine yourself becoming more and more relaxed. Allow your body to sink deeper into the surface beneath you.
Imagine yourself in a peaceful place, such as a beach or a forest. Focus on the sights, sounds, and feelings of that place. Imagine the sound of the waves or the rustling of leaves. Imagine the feeling of the sun on your skin or the breeze on your face.
As you focus on this peaceful place, imagine a white light surrounding you, filling you with a sense of calm and peace. Repeat to yourself “I am calm, I am at peace”
Now bring your awareness to your breath, and as you inhale, imagine yourself drawing in peace and calm. And as you exhale, imagine yourself releasing any tension or stress.
Continue to focus on your breath, and imagine yourself becoming more and more relaxed with each breath. Allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper into relaxation.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and take a moment to reorient yourself to your surroundings. Remember that the sense of calm and peace you have created within yourself can be accessed at any time, and you can return to this peaceful place whenever you need to.
