Hypnotherapy Script: Control Room Visualization for Anxiety

Induction Phase

(Start by guiding into relaxation)

“Take a deep breath in... and gently release it. With every exhale, allow yourself to sink deeper into comfort. Feel your body becoming heavier, calmer, and more at ease with each passing breath. Visualize a soothing wave of warmth flowing from the top of your head, down through your body, all the way to the tips of your toes, washing away any tension you’ve been holding.

Now, imagine in front of you a beautiful staircase, leading down. With every step you take, a sense of peace and tranquility grows within you. Step down to the first step... feel the tension release from your shoulders. Step down to the second step... notice your mind becoming still and quiet. Continue moving down the steps at your own pace until you reach the bottom, where a door gently waits for you.”

Deepening Phase

“Reach for the handle of that door and step through into your own personal Control Room. This room belongs only to you—it’s designed in a way that makes you feel completely safe and comfortable. As you look around, you notice all the controls and tools here are unique to your mind and your needs.

In front of you, there’s a large screen. On this screen, you can see different thoughts, emotions, and experiences that flow through your mind, especially those linked to anxiety. Take a moment to observe what’s displayed. Notice how each thought or feeling shows up as a button or a dial—some may shine brightly, while others are more faint.

Now, let's focus your attention on the part of the screen that represents your anxiety. Approach it with curiosity, not judgment. What do you notice about it? How does it present itself on the screen?”

Exploration Phase

“As you move closer, reach out and touch the button or image that symbolizes your anxiety. As you make contact, remain open to what this feeling might be trying to communicate with you.

Maybe it’s a protector, trying to keep you safe, or perhaps it's signaling a need for change or attention in some area of your life. Whatever its message, allow yourself to explore it without fear, without judgment—just curiosity.

Beside the button, there’s a dial. This dial controls the intensity of your anxiety. Imagine now, gently turning the dial down. Notice how, as you do, the colors on the screen begin to soften and shift. The anxiety reduces, becoming something manageable—something you can handle and control.”

Transformation Phase

“Now, in this Control Room, there is another dial labeled ‘Calm and Control.’ You have the power to increase this sense of calm and inner control whenever you wish. Slowly begin to turn that dial up, and as you do, notice the shift in your surroundings. The colors around you brighten, sounds become clearer, and a sense of empowerment fills the space.

Take a few moments to adjust these dials as you see fit. Turn the anxiety dial down further if you like, and bring up the ‘Calm and Control’ dial. With each adjustment, feel your sense of peace deepening and your confidence growing. Here, in this Control Room, you are fully in charge of your thoughts, your feelings, and your responses.

You hold the power to shape your inner experience, to create the balance and calm you need.”

Reorientation Phase

“Now that you’ve made these adjustments and felt the shift within, it’s time to leave your Control Room, knowing you can return anytime you wish. Acknowledge the strength and clarity you’ve discovered today.

As you move toward the door and step out, begin ascending the staircase. With each step you take up, you bring with you a renewed sense of calm, control, and confidence. Step by step, allow yourself to feel more energized and awake, carrying this calmness with you.

When you reach the top, gently return your awareness to the present moment. And whenever you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, centered, and empowered.”

Closing

“Take a moment to reflect on the journey you’ve just experienced. Know that this Control Room is always within you. Anytime you feel anxious or overwhelmed, you can return here, adjust the dials, and restore your sense of balance and control. You are in charge.”
