Getting out of an emotional quagmire (ePub)

(Imagery : car stuck in the mud.) Step back from a difficult situation. Identify available resources. Create leverage. Put yourself in solution mode. Get out of a difficult situation.
This therapeutic metaphor accompanies an adult client to step back from his/her situation and find ways (decisions, actions, resources, way of seeing, etc.) to get out of his/her emotional state. Not knowing how to get out of the situation, the client is filled with various emotions and the one that takes up the most space is the feeling of being stuck, like a car stuck in the mud. He or she has a confused feeling that he or she is not moving forward despite all his or her efforts. Thanks to this time of return to oneself, the person gives himself or herself the means to get out of it and anchors in him or herself an adequate way of doing so.

Bonus : included in this hypnotic text are the hypnotic induction The Hypnotic Echo, a deepening and a waking up. You are also offered a suggestion of a tool to reinforce the work done in session.

Objectives
- To provide the client with time to step back and look at the situation with a new perspective.
- To identify unmet needs and useful resources in the situation in which the consultant feels stuck.
- To suggest how to get out of a difficult situation by coming back to oneself and using one's resources.
- Allow him/her to create a leverage effect to get into solution mode.

Target audience

This hypnosis script is suitable for adult clients.The person who consults :

- is going through a difficult situation from which he/she cannot free him/herself;
- feels powerless to transform his or her situation;
- is experiencing the effects of stress (ruminations, tunnel vision, insomnia);
- only takes actions that further entangle them in their emotional state.

You now have a plan to get out of it... a plan that is carried out one step at a time... one maneuver at a time... one decision at a time... one action at a time... like the action of using all the internal resources and adding to them as needed with external resources... like using the shovel in the trunk of the car to make space... space around what is stuck, namely the wheels... the ones that are needed to move forward and get back on track..

You have more than enough resources... resources are abundant to those who are open to grasping them and allowing themselves to use them... You use external resources like branches that litter the road... They are accessible...
