It is not uncommon for a young child to be afraid of the dark. After all, they really don’t know that there is nothing in the darkness of which to be afraid. As adults our conscious minds may know that there is no monster under the bed or boogie man who will jump out from the closet, yet there are still many adults who can’t seem to overcome this childhood fear. For those who still suffer from a fear of darkness, hypnosis may just be the tool that lights their way and allows them to overcome this fear.
A fear of the dark that lasts into adulthood is usually rooted in a childhood memory. As a child a fearful adult may have experienced some sort of abandonment or push into an unknown and dark place, without reassurance that there was nothing to fear. As children grow up with loving adults to explain there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark, they naturally outgrow the fear. For those who did not have such loving reassurances, the fear remains. Through hypnosis, the adult can be trained to understand that there was nothing to fear then in the dark and that there is nothing to fear now.
Hypnosis is able to reach back in time to the darkest recesses of the mind. From these places it can withdraw the root cause of irrational fears. Once that is accomplished, a new idea, feeling and understanding about a situation such as darkness can be replaced with a new concept of the situation.
Hypnosis is usually effective in bringing about changes in about 3 weeks. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones, has seen this in his private practice and through the self-hypnosis programs he creates to work in other people’s lives. His recent release of “Overcome Fear of Darkness” is directed specifically for adults who have not been able to let go of this childhood fear, or have developed the fear due to a trauma later in life. His hypnotic method has been able to free people from the prison they create due to a crippling fear of the dark.
Here is a sample of the script used in this recording:
Fear of Darkness
You are so very relaxed as you now imagine yourself sitting in a well lit movie theater, watching a movie. And this movie is starring you. And you also imagine there is another version of you in the projection booth running the movie, that’s right, there are three versions of you. One is sitting in the theater watching the movie. One is in the movie itself. And one is in the projection booth controlling the movie. And as you sit in this well lit theater, you are watching a movie of yourself. I would like you now to imagine that you are that version of yourself in the projection booth, in the well-lit projection booth, running the movie, watching yourself in the theater. As you also watch yourself in the movie. And as you watch the movie you realize that since you are in the projection booth, you can stop the movie at anytime. And you see yourself in that movie walking into a dark room and smiling and being so relaxed. You realize that it is just a movie and you are safe in the projection booth which is well lit. You see yourself in that dark room smiling and relaxed. You now watch a different scene where you are sitting in a room and the lights are turned off and you smile because you are calm and relaxed and you feel safe. And now if you are comfortable with this, you can imagine yourself being the version of you that is sitting in the front row of the theater. And you realize there is still another version of you running the movie. You are in control of the movie and there is a version of you in the movie and you see the version of you in the movie sitting in a dark room and you are smiling. And the lights go on and you continue smiling in that movie. And the lights in that movie go off and you continue smiling in that movie. And if you are comfortable with this I would like you now to imagine yourself being the version of you in the movie, sitting in a well lit room, that’s right, relaxed. And the lights slowly dim and you continue relaxing and at anytime you can leave the movie and go back to watching the movie from the front row or the projection booth or you can stop the movie completely, because you are in complete control. The lights now are completely off in the movie and you continue to relax and think beautiful and peaceful thoughts. You are so relaxed and at ease. And each time you listen to this recording, you will become more and more comfortable being the version of you in that movie and you will allow yourself to see different scenes where you are in darkness. You will allow yourself to be in different scenes where you are in darkness and relaxed and peaceful and calm and strong and very confident. Day by day you are becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of being in the dark. And you realize that darkness is your friend and you are relaxed and comfortable in the dark. So relax now and realize just how powerful you are. Relax.
