Use the Stop Tongue Thrusting Script to Free Clients from Their Habit

Tongue thrusting is an unconscious habit in which an individual repeatedly or aggressively pushes their tongue against the back of their front teeth. Often begun in childhood, possibly as a replacement for thumb sucking, tongue thrusting can cause a myriad of dental problems, including misaligned teeth, speech impediments, jaw pain, and sleeping trouble.

TheStop Tongue Thrusting Hypnosis ScriptfromThe Script Collectionwas put together to help individuals who live with tongue thrusting to break their habit and live a healthier life.

The script's pre-talk opens by explaining the origins of tongue thrusting and how it typically manifests. The client is assured that it's a habit that can be broken, allowing them to "eat, drink, breathe, talk and sleep" more naturally.

Several common exercises to help break the habit are listed, and the client is encouraged to commit regular time to keeping their tongue in the correct position.

The induction opens by asking the client to physically relax and free their mind of everyday burdens. They are asked to think of the hypnosis session as a time when their conscious mind doesn't have to do anything.

The client is guided to picture serene and calming environments as embedded commands direct them to relax deeper. They are guided to imagine themselves strolling through a bucolic landscape where they have "all the time in the world to explore" until they find a special sanctuary where their inner mind can work.

During the trancework portion of the script, the client is told a story about a puppy who always pulled and strained against a leash during walks. To learn how to change her dog's behavior, the owner checks out a book from the library. She discovers the best way to train her dog is not to discipline it when it misbehaves, but to reward it when it displays good behavior. Over time, the dog became better and better behaved.
