Creating great Hypnosis scripts can be a delight once you get the hang of it. There are 2 absolute must-have attributes in Hypnosis/ Hypnotherapy Scripts:
Using these 2 attributes will result in much more successful sessions than falling into the habit of suggesting to your hypnotized client that something "will" happen in the future. Why is that, you ask ?
When we work hypnotically with an individual , we work with his subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is creative, child-like, responsive to symbols, color, and sound and thus like a child, doesn't comprehend the complex thought pattern of a future time. The subconscious mind, like a child understands NOW.
At NEIH , we teach our students that scripts are something that help a Certified Hypnotherapist to begin working with clients, but the goal is to be off-script as soon as possible. The script we use is comprised of several parts:
At NEIH, we use a classic 10-1 Countdown, followed by what we can the Path which is the part of the induction where we use visual, auditory and kinesthetic prompts to engage the subconscious mind more fully. Using NLP prompts, we help to awaken the client's Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic communication receptors. We use the Beach as the location for the Behavior/ Belief Modification suggestions primarily because the beach is sunny, colorful, full of happy people and a place that has a very positive association for many people. We then go back down the Path to the door leading to the stairs where do the Count Back Up.
This is classic therapeutic Hypnosis which allows the client to enter a full Medium state of Hypnosis, and a color-rich backdrop for our Behavior/Belief Modification suggestions.
