The method:  
By disclosing a text of every word which is to be stated in the form of what would normally be a hypnosis session to an intended listener, or at minimum, to explain in great details the exacting logical process of which is intended to be used, in advance of each application, and to embed this disclosure in the body of a legally-binding contract, the intended listener not only signs (or clicks) an agreement to acknowledge and comprehend that all hypnosis is self-actuated, but also that, should anyone read such a script to them, the reader is ONLY A READER, that the author of such script is ONLY A WRITER, that any performers creating stimulations of any kind, including visual, sound, and sensation effects, are there for entertainment purposes only, and thus accepts that not only is THE LISTENER IS THE ONLY ONE DOING HYPNOSIS, but that such listener accepts any and all liability from participating in such an experience and further accepts any changes, whatsoever, perceived or experienced, in their own person or personality, from this day forward for all time.  

Hypnosis participants must accept they are ultimately responsible for their own actions and are not, in or at any time, under the influence of any other person.  Such persons must further accept and hold harmless any other person who participates in any manner in the delivery of such data or performance, of any kind, including but not limited to sound effects, visual effects, or otherwise, to enhance such performance.

"Scrypnosis" as a terminology is being placed in the public domain.  It is a word that distinguishes its application separate from hypnosis in that, with standard hypnosis, the speakers/performers do not disclose each and every nuance of what they are going to perform, and thus require the trust of the listeners.  Scrypnosis reveals all and leaves little to trust.

A scrypnosis contract falls in five sections.  
  1. The preamble, to explain what is intended to be accomplished.  
  2. The induction method (BEGINNINGS modules) that is to be employed, explained at great detail so that the logic is fully disclosed.  
  3. The subroutines (MIDDLES modules) of what are intended to be accomplished, including any post-hypnotic suggestions, which the listener can trigger at his or her own will, for rapid adaptation and implementation of  self-control.
  4. The session conclusion (ENDINGS modules), including awakening, dream programming, lucid dream creation, or sleep enhancements.
  5. The rest of the legal contractual data, including all text as noted above, and the signature or acceptance clicks on the part of the intended listeners or participants, and witnesses, if any.
Thus, scrypnosis is a method to hypnosis that has been developed and tested to allow absolute beginners the ability to obtain the successes of that of advanced hypnotists. Such success is accomplished without having to earn the trust of the listener, for the intended listener must have the opportunity to have read and understand all script-logic in advance of each and every session, unless such listener so chooses to not receive such information.  

As with any contract, it is absolutely recommended that all intended listeners read their contracts fully and are comfortable with the logic in advance of any session, for to do so, one can more rapidly detect variations or deceit on the part of a reader who has his or her own agenda, separate than that found in the script.

If a reader does stray off the script and does input words and logic of his or her own devising, then, at that point, the person is  doing hypnosis, and thus takes on additional risks of such employ.  The process of advanced hypnosis employs improvisation.  Such must be left to the employ of experts or very seasoned intermediate scrypnosis users.  Beginners run the risks of involving themselves in what are known as abreactions, which, though rare, do happen.  By using contracts, if the listener has an abreaction even after reading the entire script and signing the contract, the listener wasn't listening to that person's own conscience, and thus, created that situation himself/herself, and is fully responsible for it.  

Most mental adjustments are a decision based on coping and adapting to life situations.  Scrypnosis can help alleviate these, but some people may still require psychotherapy, and so, the use of scrypnosis may or may not be included in your psychological therapy.  To do so without at least the knowledge of your psychological counselor may be a breach of that counselor's ethics.  Therefore, it is recommended that if you are in treatment, you first consider letting that practitioner know so that such professional can either benefit from such choices, or give their views as to why such would not, in their view, be a reasonable tool at that time.  Of course, the final decision is yours and the responsibility for such decision is also yours.
