The Ultimate Hypnosis Scripts Package

Gemma Bailey — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:03:52 +0000

This e-book contains tried and tested hypnosis scripts that have been written by a qualified hypnotherapist. The sentences have been designed using specific language patterns that are more likely to be accepted by the unconscious and to aid the trance experience. Some of the language patterns may read as if they are questions or statements, yet by changing the tone of your voice, you can make them sound like commands that you want the client to follow. These are called embedded commands and these are underlined in the scripts to help you to remember where to make your voice deeper and very slightly louder. Where possible, the suggestions are always stated in a positive way, to get the patient to focus on what it is you want them to do, instead of what you don’t want them to do. This is because primarily, the unconscious does not process negatives within a sentence. The scripts in this e-book have been labelled as either:

Amateur Use – These scripts can be used by anyone who is comfortable in inducing and deepening a trance experience. As with any therapeutic work, you should use these scripts only in a safe environment and in an ecological way. If you have any concerns about using these scripts with a client, or concerns about the client you are working with, you should refer them to a qualified professional.

Professional Use – These scripts are recommended for professional use only, due to the nature of the problem or the likelihood of abreaction (a physical or emotional reaction to the suggestions you have given.) There are times in a hypnotic session, when the professional hypnotherapist needs to adjust the script to accommodate the reactions of the client, and the scripts labelled as Professional use are more likely to evoke responses that require flexibility from the therapist.

Nail Biting Audio

Gemma Bailey — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:42:26 +0000

This audio gives reasons why you should stop biting your nails and using lots of imagary and sensory information it appeals to your unconscious mind which is responsible for maintaining the automatic habit. You will also discover new ways to deal with stressful or boring situations in the future so that you no longer feel the urge to bite your nails.

Nail Biting Reducing Habits Audio

Gemma Bailey — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:13 +0000

This audio brings the old habit into conscious awareness to give you the opportunity to decide to continue with the behaviour or not. It also integrates an NLP Swish Pattern which is used to create new neural networks to provide alternative behaviours.

Nail Biting Script

Gemma Bailey — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:10:50 +0000

Amateur – The first scene in this script can be adapted for those who do not have children, or can be used as a leverage technique if their child has already copied the bad habit. The hypnotherapist could point out that when the child gets sick, he/she may do so because of the germs under his/her fingernails, therefore indirectly applying guilt to the nail biting parent. For extra power, you can add that when the client puts their fingers in their mouth in the future, they will feel as if they want to vomit, as if they have stuffed all of their fingers in their mouth, causing them to reach and gag.

Nail Biting

Gemma Bailey — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:42:56 +0000

Nail biting is usually caused by a persistent bad habit, or as a symptom of anxiety or stress. It is a behaviour that sometime occurs unconsciously, so that the patient is not even fully aware of the times when they put their fingers into their mouth and bite their nails. Others are aware of what they are doing, but feel compelled to continue, using snags or tears in the nail as an excuse to bite them.

All behaviours and habits are maintained at an unconscious level. Therefore it is in this region that the changes need to be made. Hypnosis is a useful tool in making changes to the unconscious mind and to unconscious activity. This is because during hypnosis, the conscious mind (which we use for thinking during our normal conscious and awakened state) is not as alert. This means that suggestions can be given and they are more readily accepted as the conscious mind will not filter or analyse the suggestions as much as it would during normal awakened consciousness.

Some people continue to bite their nails way past the nail bed, causing the fingers to become sore and bleed. But even those who do not have such an extreme habit could be doing themselves some harm by biting their nails. Many bacteria are found under nails, especially on unwashed hand, in some cases a bacteria called Staphylococcus can be found. This causes illnesses such as impetigo and toxic shock.

Nail biting can also cause damage to teeth, despite nails being made of keratin, the same substance that hair is made of, teeth can become damaged when they bang together quickly and with the force it takes to bite through a nail.

The most effective treatment I have used previously to help a patient stop nail biting, is hypnotherapy with suggestions for feeling nauseous each time the fingers enter the mouth. This offers not only a preventative measure for those who bite their nails, but also a sure way of bringing the behaviour into the patients conscious awareness. This gives the patient the opportunity to have choice about whether to continue with the behaviour or not.

It is also important to offer the client some alternatives to alleviate stress or tension if this is a contributing factor in the behaviour. Teaching self hypnosis or hakalau, can offer an alternative behaviour that induces a deep state of relaxation.
