Hypnotizing With a Script
The
process of hypnotizing involves the hypnotist's communication and perceptual
skills.
There are many scripts available on the internet.
Induction scripts are useful. The intervention is a different story. Most
hypnotherapy intervention scripts focus on behavior changes.
Hypnotherapists often find themselves matching clients to
scripts, rather than creating scripts for clients. Often, long term changes
are best accomplished by changing the beliefs the client has that support the
behaviors, a cascade of behavior changes occurs. NLP is most useful for
discovering this 'pivot point', making each client intervention unique.
The way you learn to induce hypnosis at The Performance
Institute is to use full body rapport, voice tone, rhythm and vocal pacing of
ongoing externally verifiable experience while physically and vocally leading
internal experience into the desired state. A script is completely
unnecessary. Once you can do this, you can easily do any of the procedures
developed by others and transmitted in the form of a script. You are capable
of 'customizing' the script to fit the client.
Induction scripts can be used effectively to make the ideas
and concepts that they contain, your ideas and concepts... your words.
The most important part of using a script is keeping your eye on your client.
To accomplish this:
-
Print the script so that it is formatted as two columns
per page.
-
Highlight the key words or phrases that will remind you
what to say.
-
Staple the pages of the script together in the top left
hand corner.
-
Fold the script in half so that only one column is visible.
This format allows you to read it easily without blocking
your view of the client (your folded script will only be half a page wide).
To easily keep your place in the script, slide your thumb down the column as
you read. Hold the script up so that you can easily see your client beyond
the script.
Remember where your focus is, on the client not the
script. A professional communicator doesn't have the tools to communicate
with, he/she finds them in the people they are communicating with. If you are
learning a new process and use a script as a guide (highlighted key words/phrases),
pull the folded script out and introduced it to your client as your notes on
the fantastically effective process that they are about to experience.
