Eliciting and using clients’ core values

A person’s core values are indicators of what attributes, thoughts, perceptions and actions are most important to them. Whether consciously or subconsciously, they influence and guide how someone interacts with the world around them and can have a significant impact on decision-making and how someone lives their life.

As a hypnotherapist, you can now use our Core Values Pro app to easily elicit a client’s core values.

The Core Values Pro app enables a hypnotherapist to work with a client either in-person, or online. The process enables the client to sort through and make selections from a broad range of core values, and reach their top 5 core values at the end of the process.

There are many ways in which a client’s core values can be used to enhance  hypnotherapy outcomes. One of the simplest, is for ego strengthening. The following script gives you an example of how you can create a hypnosis experience around a client’s top 5 core values.

For the client referred to in this blog, their core values were:  Confidence | Happiness | Inner focus | Motivation | Empowerment

 

 

The hypnosis experience

Hello…. My name is [your name]

The hypnosis session I am about to give you, is a time for you to relax, to let go; it’s time a delightful hypnotic rest, just for you.

I would like you to make yourself comfortable. Take a slow, comfortable breath in…and gently let it go as you close your eyes.

You can now allow yourself to settle into a position where your body can be supported fully… where nothing is required of you for the next little while… except simply listening.

There is no need to ‘try’ to relax. There is no need to make anything happen.

You can just simply notice, that… as you listen to the sound of my voice… something inside you already knows how to begin.

Perhaps, you become aware of your breathing… each gentle breath in and out, taking you deeper inside. Perhaps… it is the subtle rhythm of sound and silence around you…

In fact…you can be aware of any sounds around you… and you can let those sounds help you focus all the more on my voice and your own inner world… as you let the silence in those sounds take you even deeper…

And… as you notice these simple things, your mind can begin to soften… like the calm surface of a lake at dusk, as the wind drops and it is natural to settle and become still….

 

(Your path)

I’d like you to use your wonderful imagination, in whatever way that presents itself to you… whether you clearly ‘see’ what I describe, as though watching a movie… whether you get a sense of what I say… or perhaps you simply think of what I describe to you…

I would like you to imagine standing on the edge of quiet forest. Calm, tall, elegant trees, with a wide path in front of you.

You can know that this forest represents your life, as it is today…your personal world, your professional world, your inner experiences, your loves, your hopes, your dreams. All that comes together… as you…

And… as you stand at the beginning of the path, you can look behind you, and notice that there are trees there as well… Perhaps you can even focus inside, and become aware that you are not even exactly the same person you were yesterday.

Because…just like the gentle growth of the elegant trees around you, your growth happens quietly…. step by step…breath by breath.

And… now… as you begin walking along the path, you may notice something interesting. When trees shed their leaves, they are letting go of what no longer serves them. You can now notice that some leaves scattered along the ground have words written on them; old words you once carried:

“Not enough.”
“Maybe later.”
“What if I fail?”
“I’m not ready.”

There is no need to challenge or hold onto these words…just notice them.

And… as you continue walking, a gentle breeze begins to move through the forest.

That breeze represents your deeper wisdom… the part of you that already understands your strengths and abilities and all the wonderful qualities and attributes deep within you.

And one by one, those leaves begin to lift from the ground…floating…drifting away…carried effortlessly by the wind… and there is no need for you to do anything… to think anything…you simply allow what no longer serves you to be released. Without effort… without drama… just a simple letting go.

And… as those old thoughts drift away, you can notice a sense of lightness… or space… creating room for something lighter begins to grow in their place.

 

(Confidence)

As you continue to walk along the path, you come to a tall, powerful tree.

This tree has deep roots… roots that reach down into the earth, strong and secure.

You start to get a sense that this tree represents you…grounded, resilient, and peaceful. Whatever the weather… or the season… this tree remains steady…and perhaps…now… you begin to sense that same steadiness within yourself.

And… as you breathe, so you may begin to feel your spine is gently lengthening… your shoulders releasing and settling… your posture naturally aligning… in a way that feels both relaxed and strong… knowing that inner confidence can begin quietly…like tiny roots strengthening underground before anyone sees the growth above.

You might already have noticed that any doubts, when they appear, are only like passing birds… They might perch on a branch for a moment… but soon fly away…

Just like the strong and powerful tree…true confidence is not loud…It does not shout…it isn’t flashy…true confidence… stands tall… whatever the weather.

 

(Happiness)

You continue your walk through the forest… and find a wide glade… with a stream running through it.

Sit down by the stream, a rest your hand in the water… feeling the soft, cool water flow gently your skin.

Notice there are some leaves nearby… each different in their own way… gather up those that you feel drawn to.

Now imagine placing any remaining self-doubt into those leaves…every limiting belief… every criticism you once absorbed… every outdated story…Lay those doubts onto and into those leaves… and now… reach out and float them into the stream… watching them float away…becoming smaller…until they disappear completely.

Because I would like to you know that now… today… you simply don’t need those stories anymore…Who you…your identity… what you are.. is not built from past hesitation… it’s built from present choice… and now you are choosing well… using all that you are… to make positive… beneficial decisions that add to your quality of life… moment by moment… day… by day.

 

(Inner focus)

Imagine now that the forest path becomes brighter…the colours around you becoming more vivid… the air fresher… and curiously… the more you are aware of the world around you… the more you become aware your inner world…and how you can choose a positive mindset — not ignoring reality, but choosing perspective….

You begin to automatically look for solutions…. To interpret challenges as feedback….To respond instead of react…. It becomes easier and easier to stay present in the moment… Patience becomes natural…. Calm becomes accessible…. Inner peace is not something you chase…. It is something you allow… and you are allowing it now.

 

(Motivation)

As you continue walking on this wonderful journey, you reach a clearing where sunlight pours down… showing you that in the centre of the clearing is a small smooth stone.

On the stone are etched the words: “I can…I will…I do…”

You can silently say those words to yourself… “I can…I will…I do…” and just notice how they feel deep inside. Maybe, you remember that motivation is not something that is given to you… not something to wait for it to happen. Motivation is something you cultivate. Just like tending a garden.

Each healthy habit — each nourishing choice — is a seed. When you choose healthy movement for your body… When you choose to focus instead of allowing distraction… When you choose progress over perfection… Each time, you are planting and nourishing seeds.

You don’t need massive change overnight…Transformation happens the way seasons change — gradually, naturally, inevitably, the forest responds…

Just for a moment, imagine yourself one month from today…You wake with clarity….You know your priorities….You take purposeful action….Even when tasks feel challenging, you stay steady.

Because motivation is connected to meaning….You remember why your goals matter…You remember who benefits when you show up fully. You begin finishing what you start…Following through…Completing important tasks…Small wins accumulate…Momentum builds…And each completed action reinforces the belief: “I am capable. I follow through. I create results.”

 

(Empowerment)

I would like you to take a moment to stop and feel your feet firmly on the ground.

Imagine roots extending from your body into the earth — steady, secure.

Notice, you are grounded in your values. Grounded in your strengths. Grounded in who you are becoming.

And at the same time, imagine that like trees, you too branches rising upward — representing growth, expansion, ambition.

You can be both grounded and growing. Peaceful and powerful. There is no conflict between happiness and achievement. They support each other.

As you become more aligned, you notice something important: The there is less space within you now for self-doubt… less space for negativity…yet almost limitless confidence… not fake… not forced… This confidence… feels natural.

 

(chime)

As you stand in that sunlight, I would like you to imagine there is another version of you, starting to appear… first hazy and transparent, and then becoming more clear. You can see that this version of you is dressed differently. As though their attributes take on a new appearance. It’s as though you can see their qualities, like layers surrounding them. Firstly, empowerment. A sense of being able to do think, do and be whatever they set their mind to.

The second layer is an engaging motivation, a desire to see just how far they can go.

The third layer, is a powerful sense of inner focus, an inner knowing and awareness of all that they are and can be.

The fourth layer is a sparkling, renewing,  happiness.

The outermost layer, is a wonderful, strong, resilient, glowing confidence.

Notice how this version of you stands…breathes…speaks… moves… as you imagine them there…notice how they take ownership of their attributes… without apology… just a simple inner knowing…

And as you notice this… something subtle begins shifting inside. I would like you now to imagine stepping into this version of you… feel what they feel… know that this is you… perhaps tomorrow… perhaps next week, or month, or year… knowing that this WILL be you…

Because the mind learns from rehearsal, each time you imagine the person you wish to be clearly, your subconscious begins organizing your behaviour toward it.

This version of you, now moves forward… into your future… and you can know that you will be in that version of you…. One day…and yet… today… you have already started.

As you imagine walking to the edge of the forest and looking back at the path you travelled… you can notice how far you’ve already come, and how you made that happen. Perhaps you allow a gently smile as your happiness begins to grow; not from comparison, but from alignment as you are becoming someone who is transforming into the person you truly want to be. Knowing, deep down, you recognize this is not a fantasy or daydreaming. This is acting on your potential… and potential becomes reality through your own consistent thoughts and action.

You can know that subconscious mind understands repetition. So from this moment forward, each time you breathe deeply, you reinforce:

Confidence.

Happiness

Inner focus

Motivation.

Empowerment.

Indeed, whenever you hear the sound of a bell chime, your subconscious mind will be reminded that you can achieve

Confidence.

Happiness

Inner focus

Motivation.

Empowerment.

 

(Re-alerting)

In a moment, I’ll invite you to return to full awareness.

Before I do, you can know this:

The forest remains within you.
The roots remain strong.
The sunlight remains available.

You are capable of transformation.
You are already transforming.

And as you begin to bring awareness back to your body…
Wiggling your fingers…
Taking a deeper breath…

You carry this confidence forward, bringing happiness, inner focus, motivation and empowerment into your life, more and more each passing day.

In a few moments time I will re-alert you.

I will count from one to five. And, at five, and only on the count of five, you will open your eyes and stretch, fully alert in every way. Coming back with a sense of wellbeing, mental and physical wellbeing. So ready, ONE re-orientating to the world around you, TWO, becoming more alert, THREE take a deep refreshing breath of air, FOUR getting ready to open your eyes, FIVE open your eyes, Wide awake… well done!
