Just like training wheels on a bicycle, scripts are only supposed to be depended on when you’re just getting started. And just like riding a bicycle, letting go of your scripts altogether will build confidence as well as improve your skills and techniques as a hypnotist.

Today, I’m sharing my five best strategies on how to put down scripts, the various stories and experiences with each one, as well as a few techniques some hypnotists say are necessary but really aren’t.

“It’s all about being a hypnotist, and not a scriptnotist.”

– Jason Linett

• Students struggle because of an expectation that is not the expectation.
• Hypnotists feel the need to play with their process to refine, experiment, and improve upon.
• Listen to your client. Clients will give you the roadmap you'll need to help them create those changes.
• Teach your clients to hypnotize themselves before they come into your office. Use forms on knowing your client's expectations from their therapy.
• Get more training, especially in NLP training.
• Work with submodalities – the individual building blocks of reality.
• Start to learn some process-oriented techniques.
• Make use of advanced change strategies.
• Age regression is not just finding the cause; it's also a category.
• Start with a positive transcript, and let the feedback tell you what techniques you need and why.
• Hide the script. If you always have that tool, you're always going to need them. If you build a dependence, it's where you're going to stay.
