Case study
Week One Hypnotherapy Script for Pornography Addiction
A week-one custom hypnotherapy script outline for pornography addiction triggers, secrecy patterns, and urge awareness.
PRE-TALK (Optional – Therapist Framing)
“Today we begin by gently increasing awareness of patterns that may have been automatic. There is nothing to fight or force… only to observe, understand, and begin to choose differently.”
INDUCTION (Relaxation & Entry into Hypnosis)
Take a slow, deep breath in…And gently exhale…
Again… breathing in calm…And breathing out any tension…
Allow your eyes to close…And as they close… your body begins to relax…
Feel the surface beneath you…Supporting you… safely…
Bring your awareness inward…
Relax your forehead…Soften your eyes…Release your jaw…Let your shoulders drop…
Feel a gentle wave of relaxation flowing down…Through your arms… your hands…
Down through your chest… your stomach…Your hips… your legs…All the way down to your feet…
With every breath…You drift deeper… and deeper…
DEEPENING
Now imagine yourself standing at the top of a staircase…
There are 10 steps… leading down into a calm and peaceful place…
With each step… you relax more deeply…
10… stepping down…9… letting go…8… deeper and calmer…7… safe and relaxed…6… drifting…5… halfway… peaceful…4… deeper still…3… almost there…2… very calm…1… deeply relaxed…
Step into this peaceful space…A place where your mind is open and receptive…
THERAPEUTIC SECTION – AWARENESS OF PATTERNS
Now… in this calm state…
Begin to observe your behavior…
Not judging…Not criticising…Just noticing…
Notice when the urge appears…The time… the place… the feeling…
See it as if from a distance…
You are not the urge…You are the observer…
And as you observe…Something begins to shift…
What was automatic…Now becomes visible…
What was unconscious…Now becomes conscious…
HABIT LOOP INTERRUPTION
Now imagine that familiar pattern…
The urge… the action… the temporary relief…
See it as a loop… repeating again and again…
And now… gently step outside of that loop…
You are no longer inside it…
You are outside… observing it clearly…
And as you watch…You begin to realise something powerful…
There is a space…Between the urge… and your action…
And in that space…Is your choice…
DETACHMENT & CLARITY
Now notice the urge…
And imagine it like a wave…
It rises…It builds…And then… it fades…
You do not need to act on it…
You can allow it to pass…
And as it passes…You feel calm… clear… steady…
Your mind becomes sharper…More focused… more present…
INSTALLING CONTROL
Now begin to feel a growing sense of control within you…
Calm… grounded… steady…
You pause before acting…
You breathe…
And you choose…
You are no longer reacting automatically…
You are responding consciously…
Every moment of awareness…Strengthens your control…
EMPOWERMENT SUGGESTIONS
Allow these suggestions to settle deeply:
Let these become natural… automatic… part of who you are…
- I am aware of my choices
- I am stronger than any urge
- I choose clarity over temporary escape
- I respect myself and my values
- I am in control of my actions
- I use my energy for growth and purpose
FUTURE PACING (REAL-LIFE SCENARIO)
Now imagine a situation where you would normally engage in this behavior…
See it clearly…
And now see yourself responding differently…
You pause…
You breathe…
You feel calm… clear… in control…
And you choose what is best for you…
That choice feels natural…Easy…Empowering…
This is your new pattern forming…
REINFORCEMENT
From this moment forward…
Every time an urge appears…
You become more aware…
More present…
More in control…
Awareness grows stronger each day…
And with awareness…Comes freedom…
RE-ORIENTATION (AWAKENING)
Now it’s time to gently return…
Bringing this clarity and control back with you…
I will count from 1 to 5…
1… becoming aware of your body…2… bringing back energy…3… feeling refreshed…4… gently moving your fingers and toes…5… eyes open… calm, clear, and in control…
