STOP BAD HABITS WITH HYPNOSIS
A script for breaking any habit
STOP BAD HABITS
This script is designed to stop any Bad Habit. It is written as a general purpose script to stop bad habits. You can substitute [Nail Biting] or [Scratching], [Blinking] etc., into the parts where it says [Bad Habit] and it becomes a script for any habit.
It is intended to be used where a client has had treatment, has stopped the habit for a time, and then felt compelled to start again.
How stop bad habits hypnotherapy works
The script works because it uses the techniques of anchoring and visualization. It links the client’s inner strengths and personal beliefs to external triggers. That way, when the external event happens, they are reminded of their own power to stop the bad habit.
The script uses three different anchoring strategies to use when the habit strikes:
A) a physical metaphor to anchor feelings of determination to squeezing their fist shut.
B) a Magic Word. This is associated to a visual metaphor and is used to remind them that they have the ability to succeed if ever they feel temptation to start again.
C) an anchor between a colour and the desired situation. The script uses a post hypnotic suggestion of using the colour to constantly remind them that they can succeed.
