Look no further, People Building is a self development and training company that provides NLP and Hypnotherapy training in the U.K. They have recently started publishing hypnotherapy scripts on their website. Their scripts are comprehensive and come in Adobe Acrobat Format. Unlike some other scripts that you download, they are print friendly in that the text is not spread out unnecessarily over pages, wasting your time and paper!

All of their scripts are reasonably priced at between £1.00-£2.00 and there are also freebies available. All of the scripts have been created by People Building experienced therapists and have been used during therapy sessions with clients.

People Building Team love scripts that contain hypnotic language patterns, such as Milton Model patterns as these types of scripts are excellent at displacing resistance in clients. So you can expect their scripts to be jam packed with these types of patterns and metaphors for change.

To give you a taster of what you can expect, below is an excerpt from one of People Building Scripts “Confidence For Exams”

You can relax peacefully, can’t you? That’s good, it’s easy and you don’t even have to think about it. Its clear, your unconscious mind knows and is taking charge. Consciously you know this, and no longer want to question, that’s why you’re here relaxing deeper now, will you? Your unconscious mind knows and because of this, your conscious mind can float or sleep, take a holiday or well-earned rest. The work has been done, its time to relax. Consciously, you can know, the learning has already happened, unconsciously, because of this, your conscious mind does not mind that your unconscious is listening.

Currently, the page on our website which is viewed the most, is the page which contains our hypnosis scripts. Some of the Hypnosis scripts are free, and others that are more complex are reasonably expensive, and of course, you get what you pay for.

We are a company that provides Hypnotherapy training, and use hypnosis on the whole for therapeutic purposes only, so it is interesting to discover that the word “hypnosis” feature as a more popular keyword than the word “hypnotherapy.”

However, our hypnosis induction scripts could be used for both a hypnotist performing a stage show and a hypnotherapist who is using hypnosis for therapeutic purposes.

Personally, I prefer to use hypnosis scripts in the work I do. There is still, sadly, much confusion about hypnosis and its levels of safety. I have found it gives reassurance to my clients if they know that I have already thought about what I am going to say to them whilst in trance and that I then make a note of the script that I used on their personal file- so that if necessary, I can refer back to the work I have done with them.

It is easy to understand how myths and misconceptions have evolved from the use of hypnosis, it is to this day, a phenomena that we still do not fully understand. Just the other day an old friend called me from the days when I was working full time with children. When I told her about the job I am doing now she told me about a time when her son, then aged about 7 years old, accidentally temporarily paralyzed his cousins legs by inducing a hypnotic trance. He had been watching the famous television hypnotist, Paul McKenna and was inspired to try out the hypnotic skills. Understandably, the whole experience was a little surprising for the children and their mother, and gave them the impression that hypnosis is a force not to be tampered with. Of course, amongst sensible adults this is not the case. Hypnosis can be a very useful and safe way to make changes and listening to a hypnosis download can be a gentle introduction.

That is why we have made each of our available hypnosis scripts, into a downloadable MP3 hypnosis audio, which can be posted to you in CD format, or downloaded to your pc as an MP3. There is a vast range of hypnotherapy resources including, eliminating fear of flying hypnosis scripts, quit stop smoking scripts, nail biting scripts and confidence scripts.

In addition to the scripts we have, you can also request scripts that we do not yet have or you may like to learn how to write hypnosis scripts by downloading our e-book “How to create excellent hypnosis scripts.”

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy are very closely related and could be considered to come from the same ‘family’ of therapeutic approaches. In fact, if you are considering having hypnotherapy and are currently searching for a therapist, you will probably find that many hypnotherapists now-days, practice NLP to some level and conversely that most NLP practitioners who have completed certified training courses, will also be familiar with using hypnotic techniques during therapy sessions.

How are these therapies similar?

Hypnotherapy utilises hypnotic techniques in order to bring about therapeutic change. Hypnotherapy enables a person to solve personal problems by bringing about a deeply relaxing state of mind. When the person is deeply relaxed this allows the unconscious part of the mind to use its resources to find solutions. It also allows the person to focus their attention completely on the therapists voice in order to follow the positive suggestions and guidance the therapist is making. In hypnotherapy this relaxed state is called trance. All people experience trance states on a daily basis. Trance simply refers to the experience of being really relaxed. It also involves focusing your attention so that it is highly selective. Reading a really good book and being completely absorbed in it, is an example.

Have you had the experience of being totally immersed in the characters of the book, being able to vividly imagine what they are like, whilst at the same time being able to ignore other noises and distractions going on around you? If so, you have experienced trance. Using your imagination and day-dreaming are other examples. Any time that you ‘go inside’ your own head you are in a light trance. If you’ve ever had the experience of having a problem that is constantly with you, so that it feels like all you have or all you are, is this problem, then you will know what it is like to experience a bad trance.

Richard Bandler (a computer scientist) and John Grinder (an associate professor in linguistics) developed NLP in the 1970′s. NLP was created after they spent time studying and modelling therapists who were considered to be extremely effective at getting good results. One of these therapists, was the Psychiatrist Milton Erickson. He was also an extremely talented hypnotherapist. Erikson’s style of indirect hypnotic suggestion and skilled use of ambigous and vague language patterns, has become known as Ericksonian hypnosis. Since NLP was developed after modelling Erickson, many NLP techniques involve Ericksonian hypnotic approaches. Like more traditional hypnotherapy, NLP works with the unconscious part of the mind in order to find solutions to problems. NLP therapists are also trained in using Milton Model language patterns in order to induce light trance states in clients. This is very useful at getting a problem moving when a person is stuck in a bad trance. Other hypnotic techniques that are common to NLP include metaphorical story telling and utilising the client’s imagination in order to bring about a highly focused state of attention during change techniques – a trance state.

How do NLP and Hypnotherapy Differ

You will find that they are more similar then they are different. During hypnotherapy you are much more likely to be seated in a comfy chair, perhaps reclining with your eyes closed! During NLP you often get more involved with the techniques on a practical level, so you may be standing, or be required to do or say certain things related to overcoming your problem. You may still get to close you eyes and you will certainly get to use your imagination. NLP techniques utilise hypnotic elements but usually in a more subtle way, the NLP therapist will empower you to draw on resources you already have in order to bring about new options in thinking.

When you see an NLP therapist you will find they often use more traditional hypnotherapy techniques as well. At the end of your NLP session, after all the hard work, you will often get to recline back in your chair and experience relaxation so that you leave the therapists office feeling positive and ready to go on with your day.
