Help Clients Connect with Others with the Stop Feeling Like an Outsider Script

People who feel like outsiders don't reap the benefits of social connections and support that make life better. Many people who consider themselves outsiders often suffer from self-limiting beliefs and unconscious prejudices that sabotage their ability to connect with others.

The Stop Feeling Like an Outsider Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was written to help self-described outsiders build a mindset that helps them make social connections.

The script opens by explaining the possible causes of the client's feelings. For example, they may have been bullied or felt rejected in childhood, leading them to develop a core belief that they do not fit in. The client is assured that, no matter the root cause of their feelings, their future does not have to be dictated by their past.

The client is reminded that while building connections is important, there can be real differences between themselves and the people they interact with. They are assured that maintaining their individuality is important, but having different interests, styles, or conversational preferences does not preclude them from befriending people who are different.

The common feeling of identifying as a superior outsider is described as a self-fulfilling trap that limits one's ability to make beneficial social connections. The client is reminded that, despite whatever differences they may feel, they are far more like other people than different. They are assured that once they begin to "relax in themselves," they will feel more at ease around others and socializing will become easier and more natural.

The goal of the session is explained as helping the client alter their unconscious expectations that concern connecting with and being accepted by other people.

As the trancework begins, the client is encouraged to "honor [their] own uniqueness" while recognizing the "common experience" they share with others. They are reminded that it's acceptable to not conform-even when others may not understand it.

The client is urged not to let their "genuine individuality" curdle into a self-limiting belief. They are encouraged to open themselves up to enjoying things they never expected to like.

The client is assured they will find people who they can connect with easily and others who present a challenge. Another anecdote is used. In the brief story, a person meets a group of car enthusiasts and assumes he could never connect with them. Realizing his prejudice in thinking the group would not want to talk with someone who knew nothing about cars, the man decided to actively show interest and ask questions about cars. To his surprise, the group welcomes his questions and enjoys chatting with him. Embedded commands encourage the client to "find points of connection" and "have a positive expectation" when talking with new people.
