Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts

by Dan Jones

The first edition of 'Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts' has remained a bestseller since its release in 2011. It remains essential reading on many hypnotherapy and NLP training courses as well as recommended reading for all those interested in self-hypnosis and creating their own hypnosis audio tracks (these hypnosis scripts can be used to make commercial audio tracks as long as credit is given to the author and the book).

This new and expanded 2nd edition of 'Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts' contains additional hypnotic inductions and additional therapeutic scripts. Many chapters have also been expanded with new helpful content to help you be as effective as possible and to help you to understand the scripts, the hypnotic language and techniques being used, and an overview of how to do hypnotherapy. As a Kindle book you may be unable to copy scripts straight from the text to form larger scripts, you may need to note the pages the relevant scripts are on, or copy them by hand, either writing them out, or typing them. 'Screen grabbing' may work for some devices.

This book of more than 100 Hypnotherapy scripts is based on over 20 years of experience that the author, one of the UK's leading hypnotherapists, has had working with a wide range of clients and training other professionals in hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and the healing arts.

This isn't just another hypnosis scripts book, the author hopes that readers will use these scripts as a starting point, rather than just reciting scripts verbatim. This book shares ideas and suggestions on how to run hypnotherapy sessions from gathering information to carrying out the hypnotic work, ending a session and setting tasks. It also introduces Ericksonian hypnotic language patterns and script structure so that the reader can have a deeper understanding of what is being done in the scripts and why they are written the way they are.

This all round package makes this book a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about Ericksonian hypnosis. Hypnotherapists in training can also read and analyse the hypnotherapy scripts and study the language, structure and multi-level communication used to further their skill and knowledge. The ultimate goal is to help hypnotherapists move beyond scripts to regularly performing script-free hypnotherapy sessions that occur in response to the client in front of the therapist. This hypnotherapy scripts book can help the hypnotherapist develop ideas from the scripts that can come out spontaneously once mastered.

The author, Dan Jones, has had over 50,000 book purchased, over 1.5 million views of his self-hypnosis and self-help videos, and over 500,000 of his self-hypnosis and self-help mp3's downloaded. Jones has been published in magazines worldwide and appeared on UK TV and radio. He has been described in the British press as 'Remarkable', with 'Expert Insight', and 'Personal Development Guru...the UK's Leading Personal Development Coach'. Jones has also carried out extensive research into the effectiveness of using a Humanistic Solution Focused Approach with families to reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour and has been published in the peer-reviewed journal 'Human Givens'.

About the author

Dan Jones (Born 1978, Chichester, West Sussex, England) is an Aspie (person with Asperger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism) who has over 20 years training and experience in hypnosis, meditation, and the healing arts, including Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Human Givens Approach, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He has also worked for over 15 years with children, teens and parents. He worked in mental health in the late 1990s, before starting in children's homes in 2000, then helped to set up a therapeutic children's home, before moving into working with parents of children who were either young offenders, or committing anti-social behaviour and at risk of entering the youth justice system if they didn't turn their behaviour around. Dan then managed a team of Family Intervention Project staff, as well as continuing family work himself, and worked as part of the Troubled Families programme.

Relating to his experience with hypnotherapy and the healing arts Dan has written 'Advanced Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Scripts' and 'Hypnotherapy', both have frequently been bestsellers in hypnotherapy and hypnosis categories, and he has also written a novel 'The Hypnotic Assassin', and written the self-help book 'Take Control of Your Life', and the smoking cessation book 'Quit Smoking in 7 Day's', and has contributed to many other books, including Professor Ursula James' book 'Clinical Hypnosis Textbook'.

Relating to his parenting and family work Dan has written 'Parenting Techniques That Work' which is a 'to the point' book about what works in parenting based on his knowledge and experience having worked directly with children and teens with very challenging, often violent behaviour, and supporting many hundreds of parents to create change with their children. For professionals, he has written 'Human Given's Approach to Working With Parents of Teens With Challenging Behaviour' which shares how to support parents to make required changes to help their teens behave, and also shares efficacy research Dan carried out around helping teens to stop anti-social behaviour and youth crime by working with the parents (and not working with the teens directly at all).

Following many requests from parents and family support staff Dan also wrote his bestselling children's book 'Sleepy Bedtime Tales', which is based on an approach he developed while working in residential children's homes to help children to sleep. It is a collection of eleven stories, and guidelines on how those stories are to be read to help children sleep using various psychological techniques and principles, and the book also includes additional information about helping to get children to sleep. He has written a sequel to this book 'Relaxing Tales for Children' which uses many of the same psychological techniques and principles, but to help children relax rather than to send them to sleep.

Relating to his experiences as someone with Asperger's, and someone who has extensive experience working with those on the autistic spectrum, their families, friends, carers, and colleagues, Dan has written what he terms 'an autobiography through the lens of Asperger's' - 'Look Into My Eyes: Asperger's, Hypnosis, and Me' which aims to share what life is like as someone with Asperger's, as well as sharing information based on his professional experiences. This book has been a bestseller, reaching number one in psychology biographies, living with disabilities, developmental psychology, and many other categories, and number 30 in all biographies on Amazon UK. This book is now in its second edition following feedback from readers about what would make it more helpful. The second edition has an extra 50% of content including an extensive chapter of tips and strategies, covering tips for parents/carers, teachers, friends, employers, and those with Asperger's, and a chapter by Dan's wife about her experiences of being in a relationship with someone with Asperger'

Great tips on how to create and use hypnosis with your clients.

[David McClendon, Sr · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is just what it says it is, a group of hypnotherapy scripts written in the style utilized by Erickson. There is nothing mind-blowing about the scripts. There are quite a few listed in the book. Many are variations of each other. Still, the book was worth the cover price.

Badly written, not advanced
