Use the Fear of Choking Hypnosis Script to Deliver Clients form Daily Torment

The fear of choking, or pseudodysphagia, can cause immense stress on both the mental and physical wellbeing of clients. It can manifest generally or more specifically, happening only with certain food or at a specific location such as the dentist's office. At its best, the fear is embarrassing, at its worst, it can cause nutritional deficits and stifle medical treatments.

The Fear of Choking Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help clients replace their anxiety with a calm attitude during triggering situations.

The script opens with a pre-talk that explains the goal of the session and how hypnosis can positively alter the symptoms of pseudodysphagia.

Swallowing is depicted as a natural human process that is "primarily taken care of" by the unconscious mind, much like breathing or blinking. However, in the same way that humans can take deep breaths before inflating a balloon or make themselves squint when looking into heavy sunlight, the conscious mind can take over the process of swallowing.

The client is assured that hypnosis can help them to overcome their fear by associating a state of "deep calm" with the situations that normally stoke their fear. At the same time, the sessions will train them to pay less attention to the thoughts and feelings that have caused their condition to manifest.

They are reminded that, in addition to hypnosis, they will have to consciously work to overcome their fear of choking. Only by slowly introducing triggering food and drinks into their diet will they be able to fully shed their fear and completely move on.

Now, the script transitions to a brief induction, which begins with embedded commands that instruct the client to relax and close their eyes.

Flowing language assures them that they do not need to make a conscious effort to relax. Embedded commands are employed, directing the client to relax their muscles and release the tensions within themselves. They are guided to observe themselves as if from outside their own body as they sink deeper in a state of relaxation.

A countdown begins and the client is asked to allow themselves to drift deeper into relaxation as if they are experiencing a dream. Between each number of the countdown, a dream landscape is detailed. It depicts a pleasant and calming scene.

During the trancework portion of the script, the client is led to recall how, as a younger person, they were hesitant about many things that no longer scare them. As they mature, they have discarded behaviors that have proved to be unhelpful or no longer fit who they are as an adult.

They are asked to recall learning to write, and the effort it took to make a single letter, something they now do unconsciously and with ease.

The full script goes on.
