Help self-harmers with the Stop Self Harm Hypnosis Script

Self-harming behaviour, whether cutting, hitting, pinching, scratching or anything else, is a strategy that some people may adopt as a way of coping with what they feel are intolerable pressures in their life.

It's rarely an effective strategy, as the brief high it brings (usually due to the release of the body's own opiates) is very shortlived and the damage it causes can be long lasting. And it actually does nothing to address the causes of the stress that lead to the behaviour.

Like other addictive behaviours, self-harm promises relief - but never delivers.

The Stop Self Harm Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection has been developed to help anyone who has become caught up in compulsive self-harming behaviour break out of this counter-productive strategy.

The brief pre-talk explains how the self-harming cycle works and outlines the dangers.

The trance state created by addictive behaviour is most easily broken through developing a counter-trance. The induction here uses permissive language and confusional suggestions to take the client into a trance state that is effectively beyond that created by their former behaviour.

Metaphorical analogies bypass conscious analysis and allow a new perspective to develop. Time slip is used to elide different stages and thus the start and end of the cycle become one. The middle step (the behaviour) is missed altogether.

Hypnotic rehearsal allows for repeated experiences of 'missing' the behaviour and enjoying the benefits of a life without self-harm.
