Children and Hypnotherapy
Can children be hypnotised?
Children Are Often The Best Subjects For Hypnotherapy!
Yes.
Children enjoy hypnosis and the techniques I use are helpful to them.
For children I use a technique called “Blowaway” and/or “Journey”
which utilises their vivid imagination and which they enjoy. Some very
common issues for children are bed-wetting and fear of being bullied.
Children
can benefit from hypnotherapy in more ways than you might imagine. They
are good hypnotic subjects and typically more easily hypnotisable than
an adult. Children generally have very active fantasy lives, which will
enable easy access to the imagination, making change work possible.
Hypnotherapy
can help to eliminate habits such as:
- Bed-wetting(enuresis)
- Nail biting
- Hair-pulling (trichotillomania)
- Encopresis (soiling)
- Stuttering
- Anger
- Thumb sucking
- Sleep-Walking
- Fears (e.g. monsters, bullies etc.)
- Phobias
Hypnotherapy
can help benefit children to improve in areas such as:
- Sleep
disorders
- Social
skill
- Sports
- Creativity
- Self-esteem
- Confidence
- Acceptance
- Memory
- Test
anxiety
- Concentration
In most hypnotherapy practises, an overwhelming
number of case histories are of adults who seek help understanding
and dealing with childhood memories. It is really amazing how much
damage can be done by a well-meaning, but misunderstood remark.
Especially when it comes from a trusted source like a parent or
a teacher. Worse – when it comes deliberately from an abusive
source. Either way, hypnotherapy can help to put it right.
Children
all have individual personalities, just as adults do. They each respond
to comments by authority figures in their own way. For instance, a parent
might see a poor report card and try to use reverse psychology to motivate
the child. The parent might say something like: "I can't believe
any kid of mine is this stupid." If the child has enough self-confidence,
it might provoke him into trying harder; but if the child is insecure,
a statement like that could make him believe that he really is stupid,
or worse, that his father or mother doesn't love him.
Hypnotherapy
can help children to understand what was really meant at the time of the
negative remark, and prevent the misunderstanding from becoming an emotional
scar that would limit their personal growth or performance throughout
their life.
Teenagers
can also benefit from hypnotherapy. It can be effective in improving concentration,
memory and learning ability. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool for redirecting
energy and negativity, refocusing more constructively. It can also be
helpful in dealing with behaviour problems such as peer pressure, anger,
delinquency and drug addiction. With teenagers, however, motivation plays
a much larger role. It is essential that they understand and want the
change.
It
is necessary for a parent or guardian to accompany children under 18.
