This book is dedicated to the use of hypnotherapy to help victims recover from trauma and stress. This field is desperate for new ideas and solutions and Healing Scripts provides just this - a model for the hypnotic imagery that will reach the source of the pain and anguish and finally offer some relief. The subjects covered include Pain, PTSD, Stress and Dissociation, plus a separate section devoted to helping children will provide the hypnotherapist with practical down-to-earth suggestions for both the content and context of hypnotic interventions. Furthermore, the rationale for using any particular script is fully explained. The scripts have been used and been found to be valid in real life situations or can either be used as they are or adapted for the client's specific needs.

First published in 1994, this book provides a selection of time-tested hypnotherapy scripts which aim to ease a variety of problems such as in the workplace, concerning pain relief, psychometric disorders, fears and phobias, self-discovery, memory retrieval, habit disorders, ego strengthening and sexual difficulties. The volume also intends to assist with such problems of childhood as enuresis, learning disabilities, fears, night terrors and asthma while also suggesting a variety of induction and self-hypnosis techniques. Hunter offers an insightful commentary alongside each script which exhibits state-of-the-art research as well as an expanded reference section and annotated bibliography. Its spacious format enables therapists to take notes as required and alter the script to meet the varying personal needs of their patients. Case histories and in-depth information as to how and when to use a particular script is also included.
