Use the Sensory Overload Relief Script to Give Clients Their Lives Back

Sensory overload is a condition in which one or more of the senses becomes over-stimulated, resulting in negative consequences. It can present on its own as part of a larger diagnosis, such as ADHD or PTSD.

The Sensory Overload Relief Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help clients manage their condition by retraining their unconscious mind to respond differently to triggering stimuli.

The script opens with a brief pre-talk that establishes authority by explaining how the condition manifests. By introducing a nuanced understanding of sensory overload and explaining how hypnosis can aid the client, the pre-talk puts the client’s mind at ease.

The induction begins by asking the client to focus on a specific instance of sensory overload. The client is guided to concentrate on the feeling of the occurrence, when the situation feels "too much".

As the client recalls the sensation, they are encouraged to breathe deeply. An embedded command directs them to dissociate and "drift away to outside of that time" until they can see it in the distance.

The client is guided to "float" until they come to a magnificent vista jutting up into a clear blue sky. In this bucolic setting, the client is reassured they already know how to relax in a natural and easy manner. Embedded commands push them further into a calm state.

The client relaxes further into the bucolic scene and a progressive relaxation drives them to a deeper calm. They are asked to get a "dream-like sense" of themselves in the past at a time when they were especially comfortable. Slowly, the client is led to merge into that memory and feel a deep sense of relaxation.

The client pictures themselves walking through picturesque scenery. As they walk, their feelings of comfort grow and the world around them seems to calm down along with them.

Two metaphors are used to illustrate how people can tune out the chaos around them and remain inwardly unaffected.
