Just like training (https://worksmarthypnosis.com/training-2/) 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 (https://worksmarthypnosis.com/hypnosis-course-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.* Resources Mentioned:* Content-Free Hypnosis Video with Jason Linett (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfsjzptmwkE&feature=youtu.be)* Primal Endurance (https://amzn.to/2lXtwqP) book by Mark Sisson* If you enjoyed today’s episode, please send us your valuable feedback!* https://WorkSmartHypnosis.com/itunes/ (https://WorkSmartHypnosis.com/itunes/)* https://HypnoticWorkers.com/ (https://HypnoticWorkers.com/)* https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ (https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/)* Want to work with Jason?
