Imagine running an interactive client session without the need for a script. Impossible you say? Well thousands of hypnotists do it in every unscripted session. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get amazing results in the client session without using a script? Well now you can.
Imagine for a moment a typical session with a client. You create a made-up script with words that you think will help the client. Suggestions that you create for the client to use to dissolve mental or emotional obstacles may actually cause more obstacles instead. Why? Because you don’t think and can’t think exactly as your client. you can only hope think like him or her
oops!
Have you ever suggested for a relaxation induction that your client go to a beach scene in her mind only to find out later that she is afraid of water? I know I have. It was only during one such incident that I realized that creating metaphors for the client to use is ineffective. Instead, I figured out how to use client-created metaphors. Through the use of client-created metaphors, my clients truly enjoy amazing flips and transformations.
If your traditional hypnotism training seemed to focus on creating suggestions, how can that be very effective for your client? The truth is that it is not!
Improvise using client metaphors
Isn’t it your client who has the thoughts that keep him chained to self-limiting thoughts? Yes, of course he is. So how much better would it be for you to learn to improvise ‘on the fly’ during a session using your clients’ personally created metaphors?
A customer’s phrase makes sense to the customer. That client’s unique phrase or metaphorical language serves as a “private logic” for your client. Those metaphors motivate each individual customer better than anything you can suggest. So instead of searching for scripts, there is an easier and more effective way to help your customers. Go script free.
How do you use a client’s metaphors instead of a script you create yourself? Just listen. During the pre-interview intake, watch the words you are writing as your clients say them. Notice the metaphors they use. As you write your specific words, phrases, metaphors, similes, etc., use those language tools in the session instead of creating a script yourself.
Quickly be seen as an expert by your clients
Using their clients’ words and phrases, they quickly liberate and transform self-limiting phrases. The faster they get the releases and transformations they seek, the more comfortable they feel doing the work of personal transformation. The advantage of them feeling comfortable doing personal development work is that they will quickly find your sessions very useful to them. This can increase the number of sessions you are hired to facilitate.
So stop looking for scripts. Go for the metaphors during a session!
