Stopping Self-Rejection

Find a comfortable position where you can remain undisturbed for the next fifteen to twenty minutes. You may sit in a supportive chair with your hands resting naturally on your lap, or lie down if you prefer. Keep your eyes closed throughout this session. This journey will guide you into a deeply relaxed state where your unconscious mind can begin to release old patterns of self-rejection and create new pathways for connection. You remain safe and in control at all times. Simply allow my voice to guide you while your deeper mind does the important work.

I'm going to hypnotize you now. [4 second pause] You are already ready for this. [5 second pause] You know it, don't you? [6 second pause] Your mind has been waiting for this opportunity to make a change. [5 second pause] That's right. [4 second pause] You can already feel yourself wanting to let go of those old patterns. [5 second pause] The part of you that has been protecting you by pushing people away. [5 second pause] That part served a purpose once. [4 second pause] And now it's time for something new. [6 second pause] Your eyes are getting heavy already, aren't they? [5 second pause] Heavy and relaxed. [4 second pause] You've done this before. [4 second pause] Your unconscious mind knows exactly how to drift into that comfortable state. [5 second pause] Let your breathing become easy and natural. [5 second pause] There's nothing you need to do. [4 second pause] Nothing you need to figure out. [5 second pause] Just allow yourself to be hypnotized. [6 second pause] Now.

Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a peaceful garden. [6 second pause] This is your inner sanctuary. [5 second pause] A place where you are completely safe. [5 second pause] Completely accepted. [6 second pause] The air here is warm and gentle against your skin. [5 second pause] Soft light filters through the leaves above. [5 second pause] You can hear the distant sound of water flowing. [6 second pause] This garden represents your mind at its most natural state. [5 second pause] Calm. [4 second pause] Centered. [4 second pause] Open. [6 second pause] There's a path ahead of you that winds deeper into this peaceful place. [5 second pause] Each step you take brings you more fully into this moment. [5 second pause] More fully into yourself. [6 second pause] You belong here. [5 second pause] You've always belonged here. [6 second pause] And as you continue along this path, you notice a gentle gate ahead. [5 second pause] This gate has been closed for a long time. [6 second pause] Closed to protect you. [5 second pause] Closed to keep you safe from perceived threats. [6 second pause] But the danger was never real. [5 second pause] And now you're ready to open that gate. [6 second pause] Just a little. [4 second pause] At your own pace. [5 second pause] Just enough to let something new begin.

Ten. [8 second pause] Sinking deeper into that peaceful state. [5 second pause] Nine. [6 second pause] Letting go more completely. [5 second pause] Eight. [6 second pause] Every word taking you deeper. [5 second pause] Seven. [6 second pause] Your unconscious mind is listening. [5 second pause] Six. [6 second pause] So relaxed and so receptive. [5 second pause] Five. [7 second pause] Halfway there, going deeper still. [5 second pause] Four. [6 second pause] Nothing to resist. [5 second pause] Three. [6 second pause] Drifting into that space where change happens naturally. [5 second pause] Two. [6 second pause] Almost there. [5 second pause] One. [8 second pause] Deep. [4 second pause] Relaxed. [5 second pause] Open. [8 second pause] You've spent years learning to protect yourself by rejecting yourself first. [6 second pause] It made sense at some level. [5 second pause] If you disqualify yourself before anyone else can. [5 second pause] Then you control the rejection. [6 second pause] You make it hurt less because you chose it. [6 second pause] But here's what your deeper mind is beginning to understand. [5 second pause] That strategy has a cost. [6 second pause] The cost is connection. [5 second pause] The cost is loneliness. [6 second pause] The cost is never giving anyone the chance to see who you really are. [8 second pause] And the truth that's emerging now. [5 second pause] The truth your unconscious mind already knows. [6 second pause] Is that you are worthy of being seen. [6 second pause] You are worthy of being known. [5 second pause] Not because you're perfect. [5 second pause] But because you're human. [8 second pause] And humans are meant to connect.

There's a part of you that learned to say no on your behalf. [6 second pause] To step in before anyone else could step forward. [5 second pause] That part was trying to protect you. [6 second pause] And you can thank that part for its service. [5 second pause] Thank it for trying to keep you safe. [6 second pause] And now, that protective part can begin to relax. [5 second pause] Because you're no longer in danger. [6 second pause] You haven't been in danger for a long time. [8 second pause] Your unconscious mind is creating a new automatic response. [5 second pause] When you meet someone new. [5 second pause] When an opportunity for connection arises. [6 second pause] Instead of that old pattern of disqualifying yourself. [5 second pause] Your deeper mind now pauses. [6 second pause] Creates space. [5 second pause] Allows the moment to unfold. [7 second pause] You don't have to earn the right to be somewhere. [5 second pause] You don't have to prove you deserve to be included. [6 second pause] You belong in the room simply because you're in the room. [8 second pause] The old pattern said you had to be perfect to be acceptable. [5 second pause] Your new understanding knows better. [6 second pause] You are acceptable as you are. [5 second pause] Flaws and all. [5 second pause] Strengths and struggles. [6 second pause] The whole of you is worthy of connection. [8 second pause] And something interesting happens when you stop rejecting yourself. [6 second pause] Other people can finally see you. [5 second pause] Not the version you think they want. [5 second pause] But the real you. [6 second pause] And that real you is far more compelling than any curated version. [8 second pause] Your unconscious mind is now forming a new habit. [5 second pause] When you notice that old impulse to disqualify yourself. [6 second pause] To count yourself out before anyone else can. [5 second pause] You simply take a breath. [5 second pause] And allow. [6 second pause] Allow the situation to unfold. [5 second pause] Allow others to make their own choices about you. [6 second pause] Trust yourself to handle whatever comes. [5 second pause] Because you can handle it. [7 second pause] You've handled so much already. [6 second pause] You're stronger than that old pattern gave you credit for. [8 second pause] And you're learning. [5 second pause] At the deepest level. [5 second pause] That rejection is not something to fear. [6 second pause] It's simply information. [5 second pause] Sometimes someone isn't a match. [5 second pause] That's okay. [6 second pause] Sometimes timing isn't right. [5 second pause] That's okay too. [6 second pause] None of it means you shouldn't have tried. [5 second pause] None of it means you were wrong to show up. [8 second pause] The only real failure is rejecting yourself before anyone else gets the chance. [6 second pause] And that old pattern is fading now. [5 second pause] Releasing. [5 second pause] Dissolving like morning mist in sunlight. [8 second pause] In its place grows something new. [5 second pause] A quiet confidence. [5 second pause] Not loud or forced. [6 second pause] Just a steady knowing. [5 second pause] That you are allowed to be here. [5 second pause] That you are allowed to be seen. [6 second pause] That you are allowed to let others decide for themselves. [5 second pause] Without you deciding for them in advance.

In the days and weeks ahead, you'll notice something different. [6 second pause] A situation will arise where you might have once disqualified yourself. [5 second pause] And instead, you'll feel a new spaciousness. [6 second pause] A breath. [5 second pause] A moment of allowing. [7 second pause] Imagine yourself in a social situation now. [5 second pause] Someone new is there. [5 second pause] In the past, you might have told yourself all the reasons not to engage. [6 second pause] Why bother. [5 second pause] They wouldn't be interested anyway. [6 second pause] But now, you simply notice those old thoughts. [5 second pause] And let them pass. [6 second pause] Like clouds moving across the sky. [5 second pause] You don't have to act on them. [6 second pause] Instead, you stay present. [5 second pause] You allow yourself to be there. [5 second pause] Without apology. [6 second pause] Without needing to justify your presence. [8 second pause] And you notice something remarkable. [5 second pause] When you stop rejecting yourself. [5 second pause] Others respond differently. [6 second pause] They see someone comfortable in their own skin. [5 second pause] Someone authentic. [5 second pause] Someone worth knowing. [8 second pause] And even when it doesn't lead to connection. [5 second pause] Even when someone isn't interested or available. [6 second pause] You remain okay. [5 second pause] Because their response is about them. [5 second pause] Not about your worth. [6 second pause] You gave yourself the chance. [5 second pause] And that's what matters. [6 second pause] That's the practice. [5 second pause] That's the new pattern taking root. [8 second pause] Each morning when you wake. [5 second pause] Your unconscious mind continues strengthening this new way of being. [6 second pause] You catch yourself before the old pattern can fully form. [5 second pause] And choose differently. [5 second pause] Automatically. [6 second pause] Easily. [5 second pause] Naturally.

It's time to begin returning to your waking awareness. [5 second pause] Bringing with you all the positive changes that have taken place. [6 second pause] One. [5 second pause] Beginning to feel your body in the room. [5 second pause] Two. [5 second pause] Noticing your breathing. [5 second pause] Natural and easy. [5 second pause] Three. [5 second pause] Feeling energy returning to your hands and feet. [5 second pause] Four. [5 second pause] Becoming aware of the surface beneath you. [5 second pause] Five. [5 second pause] Eyes beginning to feel ready to open. [5 second pause] Six. [5 second pause] Taking a deep, refreshing breath. [5 second pause] Seven. [5 second pause] Feeling calm and confident. [5 second pause] Eight. [5 second pause] More present with each number. [5 second pause] Nine. [5 second pause] Almost fully alert. [5 second pause] Ten. [5 second pause] Eyes open, wide awake, feeling better than before.

You carry with you a new sense of permission. [5 second pause] Permission to be seen. [5 second pause] Permission to let others make their own choices. [5 second pause] Permission to stop rejecting yourself on their behalf. [6 second pause] This session will continue working in the hours and days ahead. [5 second pause] Your unconscious mind processes these changes while you go about your day. [5 second pause] Strengthening the new pathways. [5 second pause] Releasing what no longer serves you. [6 second pause] Until next time, remember this. [5 second pause] You are worthy of connection simply because you exist. [5 second pause] No qualification needed. [5 second pause] No pre-rejection required. [5 second pause] Just you, being you. [6 second pause] That is enough.
