Nervous Twitch Relaxation Hypnosis Script

There are a number of tic types which are relatively common, such as eye blinking, nasal inhalations, throat clearing, twitching at the mouth, grimacing and twitching at the eye. However, they can also take other forms. This Nervous Twitch script focuses on the facial muscles.

The Tourette Syndrome Classification Study Group describes these as being either semi-voluntary or involuntary. Whilst they may not be strictly involuntary, tics can also be a voluntary response to an urge.

An 'Irresistible Urge'

Tics are unique because whilst they are suppressible, they are also usually irresistible. Many individuals describe the urge as being so irresistible that it must eventually be expressed. This has been described as an urge similar to the need to yawn, sneeze or scratch an itch.

Preceding the urge, there is as a build-up of tension which they then release. It feels as if they had to do it. The actual tic provides a temporary relief of tension similar to the satisfaction of scratching an itch.

Many nervous tics are the result of underlying psychological stress that has been deeply suppressed. This symptom can develop after a client has experienced an severe psychological issue or emotional trauma.

Stress, tiredness or heightened emotional states may cause an increase in tics, including an increase in negative emotions such as anxiety or anger, and positive emotions including excitement or anticipation.

Nervous twitches can interfere with the individual's daily activities, making it difficult for them to socialize or otherwise live a normal, happy life.

When this occurs, it may be time to address the problem.

Identifying Triggers

This nervous twitch relaxation script uses regression to examine the cause of the symptoms and transform the past influence of this trigger event.

The script then provides cues and suggestions for successfully dealing with the symptom.

By addressing both aspects of conditioning, this Nervous Twitch Relaxation hypnosis script provides a wonderful method for helping clients to visualize overcoming their nervous tic. The success of hypnosis depends largely on the impact of the words that are used and how they affect the client's mind.
