Introduction

Welcome to Advanced Hypnotic Techniques, a collection of real-life case scenarios that

will offer you an unparalleled insight into the working of a hypnotherapist. The scripts

included herein may be adapted to suit your situation. Each has been conveniently

segmented from the group for ease of printing, with space provided for additional notes

to aid customisation.

Although at first glance each script may appear simple in nature, you are urged to study

this material and break down the therapy into it’s component parts. Notice the use of

tense throughout; past tense is often used to discuss negative habits, while present tense

brings future solutions within reach. Although subliminal messages have not been

highlighted you should be able to pick these out with your voice tonality during delivery.

Think about the reasons the scripts work and why each sentence was chosen for

inclusion. By approaching this material with such a mindset you abilities as a

hypnotherapist will be greatly enhanced.

Before you use any of this material it is essential that you are in a qualified position to do

so. Depending on where you live, there may be laws that restrict the use of hypnosis. It is

also very important to remember that you are not a qualified physician, never attempt to

diagnose a clients ailments, and always insist that they should consult their general

practitioner before undergoing a course of hypnosis.

Before going onto the scripts it is very important that you read and understand the

following section on Abreaction.

Abreaction

An abreaction is an unpleasant response that may occur during trance. It is usually

triggered as repressed uncomfortable memories are brought to conscious awareness

during trance. This may happen at any time during hypnosis as the subject is accessing

areas of the mind that are normally beyond conscious awareness, but it is more likely to

occur during regression.

Some therapists attempt to induce an abreaction in their patients as a from of therapy, to

help them release unconscious emotional energy. It is likely that looking at the situation

from a new perspective aids the recovery, rather than having to relive the situation. That

said it does seem that some patients feel as though they need a good cry in order to be

over a situation. Personally, I feel that abreactions are not a necessary step in the recovery

process. But as they can occur at any moment you do need to know how to deal with

them.

So what happens if your client has an abreaction? Initially you will need to make sure

that your client is abreacting, sometimes a client will cry after a moment of insight. An

abreaction is typically an uncomfortable situation, you should recognize it as

distress, usually accompanied by tears. To deal with an abreaction it is important to remember

that it is simply a response to an experience. You can immediately ease the client by gaining

rapport and leading them to a more comfortable place. You can do this with a simple script such

as the one outlined below.

"You are crying, and although I am not sure exactly what you are feeling right now, as the tears

run down your face you can understand that your subconscious mind knows that it is safe for you

to have this experience. It is not important to make sense of these feelings here and now, just be

comfortable that you can trust yourself and feel whatever it is you need to feel and then, with a

great sense of relief, be happy that you have been able to do so. A wonderful sense of release

and calm can wash over you as you recognize a remarkable step forward in the healing process."

Using such a script will enable you to pace your client to a more comfortable place and give them

a positive outlook of the experience.

Smoking: MINUTES OF ENJOYMENT

T = THERAPIST C = CLIENT

T: How long does it take you to smoke a cigarette?

C: About five minutes

T: Do you believe that smoking is harmful to your health?

C: Yes

T: Do you ever experience shortness of breath?

C: Sometimes

T: Have you ever burned your clothing or other objects?

C: Yes, many times before

T: Could you find something to do with the money that you would be saving?

C: Sure I could

T: Many smokers tell me that it is becoming a headache to smoke. Do you agree?

C: Oh yes, it is becoming harder to find a place to smoke

T: Tell me, have you ever heard that smoking will decrease your lifespan?

C: Yes I have

T: Would it be nice to set a positive example for your children?

C: Yes, they hate it when I smoke

T: As you shared with me earlier, you have been smoking about two packs a day, most

people that smoke as much as you realise that the majority of their smoking is simply a

habit that they really don’t think about. The phone rings and they reach for a cigarette.

They start the car and they reach for a cigarette.

However, they do say that there are a few cigarettes that they do actually enjoy. Maybe

after a meal or with a cup of coffee.

If you are going to be honest with yourself how many cigarettes do you think that you

actually get enjoyment from?

C: Maybe four or five

T: Lets spend a moment to look at your smoking logically rather than emotionally. As

you have said yourself it takes about four or five minutes to smoke a cigarette. As you

have also told me there maybe four or five that you actually enjoy. That means that you

are getting about twenty five minutes of enjoyment from smoking.

As we both agree, it is effecting your health, but what is your health as long as you can

have twenty five minutes of enjoyment. You burn a few pieces of clothing, furniture, it’s

becoming a headache to smoke and you get a little shortness of breath, but what’s

breathing.

You spend about $700 a year, but you make a lot of money. It is a bad example for your

children and it will probably take five to ten years off your life, but what’s living as long

as you have twenty five minutes of enjoyment?

Don’t you agree?

C: Not hardly!

Weight Loss: METABOLISM CHANGE

Research has proven that the subconscious part of the mind does not have the ability to

tell the difference between reality, and imagination.

A few years ago, an experiment involving an actor showed how powerful the

subconscious mind truly is.

In this experiment the actors heart rate, breathing and blood pressure where being

monitored. The actor then pretended to be very angry and upset. Within seconds his

blood pressure began to rise. His heart rate increased. His breathing sped up considerably.

All of his body functions began to change, simply by using his imagination, due to

pretending.

The actor was then instructed to pretend that he was slowly walking down a beautiful

beach, with not a care in the world. His blood pressure began to drop. His heart rate came

back down. His breathing became slow and natural.

So it is easy for us to see that as we imagine something, our subconscious will cause the

body to respond in exactly the same way as though we were actually involved in the

activity.

I want you now to imagine yourself out jogging at a very healthy and safe pace. Get this

image deeply embedded in your mind. Imagine it. Sense it. Feel it now.

As you sit here relaxed, your mind is causing your body to respond as though you were

really jogging. Using up the stored excess weight in a very safe, simple and pleasant

manner. You can feel it happening now.

From this moment on, every time you use the telephone your mind will automatically

cause your body to respond as though you are jogging.

Your mind will continue this process safely until you reach the weight of _______

pounds. Your mind will then work with you in order to insure your continued success at

maintaining your weight at _______ pounds after you have reduced.

NOTE: YOU MAY USE ANY ACTIVITY THAT THE CLIENT DOES ON A DAILY

BASIS, INSTEAD OF TALKING ON THE PHONE. SUCH AS DRIVING A CAR OR

READING A BOOK ETC…

Smoking: HINDSIGHT

Today you will be using a wonderful ability that we call foresight. Thinking ahead.

So often people use hindsight. They wait until it is too late, and then say things like, if I

would have known then what I know now. If I only had to do it over again. If only I had

another chance.

Today we are using foresight, thinking ahead and becoming free of the smoking habit

before there could be severe problems down the road.

By using foresight here, now, today, you are avoiding the possibility of health problems

down the road, and finding yourself making statements like. If I would have known then

what I know now.

I sure wish I would have quit smoking back in ________(date). If only I had to do it over

again. I wish I had a second chance.

Well it is not too late for you. You are becoming a non-smoker as of today. It makes you

happy to realise that you will not be using hindsight some day in the future.

Discovering that you have the ability to use foresight in any area of your life is always a

wonderful, and pleasant feeling.
