Marlene Hunter's book Healing Scripts provides new ideas and solutions in the use of Hypnotherapy to help victims recover from trauma and stress. Healing Scripts provides hypnotic interventions which will reach the source of the pain and anguish of trauma, resulting in relief.
The book covers all aspects of pain, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) including sections on denial, hyper-vigilence and hyper-arousal: acute stress; sleep disorders and dissociation, including ego-strengthening and integration. The book also contains a separate section devoted to helping children. All 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 through a detailed and illuminating commentary.

I would recommend this book for all Practitioners, with less, or more experience, since the scripts have been used, and found to be valid in real life situations, and can be adapted to suit the client's specific needs.
