Help Your Clients Make Friends Naturally

Life without friends is no fun. It runs in stark opposition to the natural social needs of humans, leaving the friendless dejected and lonely.

The Make Friends Naturally Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was put together to help you give clients the necessary tools to cultivate a life that invites friendship, naturally.

During an extended pre-talk, the client learns that people are wired for social relationships. They are reassured that, as well as having a primal need for friendship, each of us has been given the basic tools needed to create and foster friendships.

Notions of instant friendships are dispelled, and clients are presented with studies showing that genuine friendships require lots of time to develop. They are reassured that many other people are also seeking friendships, and that forming new relationships is possible - even probable.

Through a classic induction, the client is primed to accept the belief that they can make changes within themselves. As they are slowly guided into a deeply relaxed state, the client is taken to a space at their core, where this possibility of change manifests clearly.

As the trancework begins, the client is invited to see a vision of themselves in the future. This future self exists in a world where the hard work of making friends has been completed. They are at ease, friendly, and able to patiently create connections with others in an enjoyable way.

As the client continues to watch their future self, they are invited to notice how people respond to them. In this future, the client expects friendliness from others, and this is just what happens.

They watch themselves interact with others, maybe neighbors or fellow hobbyists, who reply with smiles and good-natured banter. They imagine themselves finding someone whom they sense is shy and being the one to bring them out of their shell. As the client immerses themselves in this future, they begin to accept that they are capable of making friends.

Now the client hears two fables that illustrate truths about friendship. In the first, a young woman moves into a new home with an empty space for a backyard. She knows a garden could grow there, and that the only way that can happen is if she puts in the time and energy to ready the soil and water the seeds, and gives the plants plenty of time to sprout. In the coming months, she continually tends the garden, and eventually the first green stalks of life emerge from the earth - a metaphor for blooming friendship.

The second story centers on a summer camp where the boys are divided into two teams and given activities that pit them against each other. The two teams grow more and more competitive until it spills over into damaging behaviour. It is only when the water supply to the camp is "mysteriously" blocked that the boys realize they must put aside their differences and cooperate. As they work together, they begin to bond with their rivals and become friends, showing the importance of common interests to friendship.

The client is whisked back to the young woman with the garden, who had begun spending time at a café in the afternoons. Soon, she knew the workers and regular clientele. She felt connected there. But, the client learns, "that was just the beginning..." - implying a kind of snowball effect once a person starts to build up their social skills and sense of connection.

As she worked on her garden, the woman found an interest in nature and took a volunteer position at the local nature reserve. As she worked alongside others at a task she enjoyed, she formed more connections. Just as she cultivated her garden, she also cultivated her social life. Soon, the garden was in full bloom, the lush landscape of her backyard mirroring that of her social life.

The client is guided to develop positive patterns of behavior and notice how connecting with others becomes easier and easier as they continue to tend to the landscape of their social lives. Hypnotic rehearsal cements these behaviors and instills a can-do attitude.
