Soothe Clients' Pain with the Ease Tension Headaches Hypnosis Script

Tension headaches are characterized by acute pain that can feel disabling. Like all headaches, their causes are murky, but lifestyle choices can affect the frequency and severity of the attacks.

The Ease Tension Headaches Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help clients learn to calm down and release stress when tension headaches begin.

A brief pre-talk begins by explaining the nature of tension headaches. The client is assured the therapist understands some of the root causes of their affliction and how hypnosis can help. The session continues by explaining when it's appropriate to consult a physician for help and what kind of lifestyle changes can help the condition.

The pre-talk concludes by specifically describing what the session will accomplish for the client, including helping to lower the body's production of stress hormones and helping them to feel more comfortable and clear-headed over time.

A slow-paced induction opens with embedded commands that direct the client to relax and breathe. Through syncopated sentences, they are guided to picture themselves "floating down" into themselves and to allow their thoughts to become softer, quieter, and kinder.

The client is guided to notice their headache, including its location and shape. Their focus is then expanded to space around their discomfort, the area behind their head, and then toward the comfort in the rest of their body.

Now, the client's focus is broadened again, through time, to when before the pain existed and after it has vanished. As the client imagines themselves in a pain-free future, an embedded command instructs them to "notice it's just gone" and they are led to embrace the relief they feel from its leaving.

Flowing language guides the client to picture their pain as a "dark tense color" that has dissolved and been supplanted by a calmer color that is full of "expansive ease." The client is then dissociated and asked to watch themselves from afar. An embedded command instructs them to relax completely.

Another calming visualization guides the client into a calmer and less-painful state, and the they are asked to sense another coloring "flowing into" themselves, rising from the soles and permeating the body with a rest and comfort.

An embedded command instructs the client to notice how much extra comfort this inner idyll brings to their daily life. No matter what is going on, this space helps their body and mind bring calmness and clarity to their days.

The client is guided to notice how their newfound ability to respect and care for themselves imbues their days with added comfort. An embedded command has them once again releasing stored tension and feeling at peace.

The calming color returns to the client, imbuing their body and the air around them with the "deepest rest." The client is accrued that they can watch that color work through their body any time they need and embrace the health and rest it brings.
