Always write down hypnotic suggestions your clients share with you.

Hypnosis scripts are valuable for the new hypnotist, and for learning in general. They can help you understand how someone else conceived of and considered a solution to an issue your client may also be having. 

However, too many hypnotists rely heavily on scripts written by someone else, that don’t actually apply to their client.

Read scripts and learn from them. Then write your own in your own words, using your own language and tone. If a hypnosis script is written by another hypnotist, it will be using their words and tone. It’s harder to be congruent if you’re using someone else’s unmodified work.

Here’s how to make good use of a hypnosis script in session with clients:

1. Read the script and learn from it.

Make a note of what resonates with you. Read multiple scripts from different practitioners.

2. Write your own version, using your own language.

Or modify the existing script to a large enough degree that it becomes “yours.” This script will be congruent with who you are as a person and hypnotist, and it will have a more positive impact on your client.

3. In session, be fully present with your client.

Use the insight generating techniques discussed in chapter 4 of Can You Be A Hypnotist. In most cases, you will not read them your script! Instead, you will deliver portions of it, at the right time during the hypnosis session.

Always write down your clients verbalized hypnotic suggestions.

They may not realize they are sharing hypnotic suggestions with you - but as a professional hypnotist, you will recognize them and their power.

Then, during the hypnosis session repeat your client’s own words back to them.

In a deep state of hypnosis, the suggestion will sink into your clients heart and mind completely. 

Your client will tell you that was the most beautiful thing they’ve ever heard, not always recalling they were the ones that first said it to you.
