Therapeutic Trance Scripts and Metaphors - Volume Two

A comprehensive professional resource created specifically for therapeutic work with children, young people and emerging adults, with developmental fit taking priority over chronological age.

Volume Two contains 20 full therapeutic trance scripts, six brief therapeutic tools and 12 standalone therapeutic metaphors, moving broadly from younger-child work through adolescence and into emerging adulthood.

The collection recognises that young people do not all engage with trance in the same way. Some may enjoy stories and imagery, while others may respond better to movement, rhythm, concrete language, open eyes, familiar interests or a clear practical structure.

The scripts therefore deliberately vary in style and are designed to be adapted around the individual young person rather than around assumptions about age or diagnosis.

Themes include confidence, emotional regulation, separation and independence, bedtime and sleep, mental overload, recognising what helps, neurodiversity-informed self-understanding, rest and respite, manageable next steps, exams and future events, results and transitions, identity, belonging, social comparison, mixed feelings and emerging adulthood.

The practitioner guidance also covers developmental adaptation, neurodiversity-informed practice, parents and carers, consent and assent, confidentiality, safeguarding, health and scope, together with practical guidance on metaphor and client-responsive trance.
