How to Write Hypnosis scripts

Hypnotherapy and NLP are therapies that come hand in hand in many ways. One of the main chunks in an NLP training is about language, and this includes the Milton model and the Meta model. The Milton model is used to induct trance experience and the Meta model is used to create the reverse effect, to create greater specificity and an “out of trance” experience. These are both components of a traditional NLP training programme and are also key components in hypnotherapy. In addition, NLP covers many different types of language techniques and patterns which can assist you, when you decide to create a hypnosis script.
There are many different patterns that can be used to create a very good hypnotherapy induction script. Here are some examples of what these are:
Double Binds:
“You will go into a trance now, or in a few moments, Either way you are relaxing.”
This patterns gives the illusion of choice, however which ever choice the client makes, they will still end up going into a hypnotic trance.
Cause and Effect:
“If you listen to my voice, then you will go into a trance, because you are wanting to learn many new things.”
This pattern implies that one thing causes another, even though logically there may be no link between the cause of one thing on another. If the client accepts the plausibility of one thing being linked to another, then they will be.
Intonation Patterns:
“As you begin to relax more, you’ll find that changing is much easier than you had ever imagined.”
This pattern is used to express emphasis on particular words within a sentence to give an embedded command. So in the sentence above, the following words could be accentuated “relax more” “changing is much easier.”
Mind reading:
“You know that I’m wanting you to relax more, and I know that you truly can…”
This pattern is when the therapist claims within the hypnosis script, that they know the thoughts or feelings of the client, without explaining the process by which they came to know.
Not knowing, not doing:
“You don’t have to listen to me, you don’t even have to try to go into a trance, you can just know that everything is happening just as it should be, in exactly the way you want it to.”
This pattern uses negation to direct the client towards whatever it is that you want them to do. This displaces resistance and works very well with embedded commands.
Metaphors:
“You can feel on top of the world…”
Metaphors are symbols to explain in a short and simple way something that has a greater or deeper meaning. The above metaphor is simply a sentence to explain being happy, feeling good and being in control. However a transformational metaphor could be a whole story which is used to symbolize how the client can overcome their problem. Transformational metaphors and nested loops are explained in more detail in “How to create excellent hypnosis scripts” an E-book designed to assist you in writing hypnosis scripts for hypnotherapy purposes.
Sensory Predicates:
“Allow that feeling of relaxation wash over you …as your eyes begin to gently close …so that you see the backs of your dark lids and you listen only to the sound of my voice.”
These are words that relate to the senses that are included in the sentence that you structure in your hypnotic script. During hypnosis the senses are heightened and the use of these words can encourage your client to become more engage in the experience of the trance.

Hypnosis Scripts are Hidden Treasures.

There are many resources available for therapists on the world wide web, and they are of a varying quality. I personally find it more reassuring to receive my resources from credible sources and tend to trust books that can be purchased from the shops rather than documents published on the web (although this doesn’t always denote quality- I’ve read some pretty good articles in my time and read some pretty dodgy books!) I tend to put more faith into those who I know whose work has accredited by some kind of an awarding body, rather than someone who just seems to have an idea of what they are talking about, but their work is perhaps not verified from any other sources. Though often it can seem as if I’m looking at a huge map, trying to decide where I might be able to locate the treasure.
I have often had to use information from the world wide web when I’ve needed to get some instant access to information. For example, a client has called me with a problem and wants to see me – in half an hour, they’re on their way over now, and they have given me a brief outline of their problem and they want to start solving it today. Obviously from my consultation with them I’m, going to get some good ideas about what steps I need to make to start shifting the problem, and it’s also great if I know that there is access to some other guidance that I can either use, or that can inspire me, that is of a high quality, written by someone who knows what they are talking about. In this kind of a situation, I’m not necessarily going to have enough time to go out, research the subject and all of it’s components, buy a book from the local book store (or more long winded still, have to order it and wait 2 weeks for it to arrive.)
So even though I haven’t got the resources I need in my preferred way, I have the resources, I got them quickly and I trust their quality. How beneficial is it going to be for you to do the same?
What I would like to do is to direct you to a website that offers resources to therapists. These resources range from Hypnotherapy scripts that can be instantly downloaded in a PDF format, E-books, which can be instantly downloaded in a PDF format and audios, which can also be instantly downloaded in an MP3 format. You might like to use them as a therapist from a reference or inspirational point of view, or you might just be someone in need of something. Some extra confidence, or weight loss skills. Maybe you want to quit smoking or become more assertive or perhaps you need to heal in some way. You might just be a regular kind of a person who wants to be better than you currently are. Either way, you’ll find this website very useful and amongst the reasonably priced resources, there are even some free ones.
And whilst you are considering what it is that you need, and finding it very easy to find the information and you are very quick to access it, you’ll notice all of the other resources that would be useful for you to have, that you didn’t even realize that you wanted. And you can access those quickly too. Then you’ll be so pleased with everything that you have, you’ll want to share with everyone… to let them know the site where the treasure can be discovered.
