Hypnosis scripts are tools required for the completion of a hypnosis session. They allow the specialist or non-professional reader to construct a hypnotic intervention and give suggestions to the subject. Some therapists use hypnosis scripts in their practice, but criticism has often fired for this sort of sessions. Additional knowledgeable and seriously competent hypnotherapists won't use hypnosis scripts directly on the patient. However, this doesn't mean that they don't use such components.


Hypnosis scripts show different approaches to the practice, and support experts have an understanding of how other hypnotherapists work and what range of methodologies they depend on. The approach towards the scripts will definitely differ from therapist to therapist. Take for instance the case when you turn to hypnosis to take care of some medical dilemma. The very first step to that could be to get a referral from a health care provider. The hypnotherapy session ought to only be conducted by a professional.

The suggestions, techniques and phrases necessary to induce the hypnotic trance and create the desired outcome are presented in the hypnosis scripts. The therapist relies on tools of induction, relaxation and deepening to enter the subconscious mind that is more open to suggestions. The hypnosis scripts need to be very well researched so that the therapeutic suggestions always stay safe, peaceful, positive and empowering.

There are also hypnosis scripts that use rapid or instant inductions. In such cases the procedure is shorter and the progressive relaxation phase is most often overlooked. The problem is that if the patient is not completely relaxed, he/she will not enter the hypnotic state completely, and therefore the suggestions may not catch. Hence, the outcome may be disappointing. Moreover, poorly worded suggestions may cause unwanted harm to the hypnotized person.

In order to safeguard hypnosis scripts and sessions as such, experienced hypnotists try to safeguard them by introducing safeguarding suggestions.

e.g. 'During this session, and from this moment forward, you are going to only accept suggestions which are helpful and safe for the complete physique, thoughts, and spirit.' (Julie Griffin).

There are many resources of hypnosis scripts now available on the Internet, and you can definitely improve your knowledge and understanding of hypnosis by reading them. However, you should not use them unless you have specialized training. Even experienced hypnotherapists will only use such scripts for informative purposes only, not directly on a client. The safest thing to do is to use the materials in the various virtual libraries and directories with professional criticism doubled by caution.
