Hypnosis for Children
When children have problems it is easy to assume that they will grow out of them or they will be forgotten in the fullness of time. But the reality is that childhood is where we form our values and beliefs that go into making us into the adults we become.
As such, issues such as lack of confidence, poor self esteem and phobias that some children suffer from can become life long problems. Helping children overcome these issues at the start can therefore prevent a lifetime of suffering.
Hypnotherapy is a great way of helping children over come their difficulties because of it’s safe and gentle approach. Lisa works with children from nine and up, teaching them strategies and providing them with tools they can use to help themselves overcome these difficulties.
Children respond really well to hypnotic suggestions because they have stronger and more active imaginations. They also generally have fewer preconceived ideas about hypnosis and so accept the experience as something positive and worthwhile that will help them overcome their problem.
The main areas that hypnotherapy can help children with, are:
- pain relief
- lack of confidence
- self esteem building
- anxiety
- bedwetting
The first session is used to get to know the child and gain a clear understanding of what their goal is, as the desire for change needs to be theirs and not just their parent’s. At the end of this session the child is taken into a very gentle and light hypnotic state so they can experience what it feels like.
Following the first session Lisa calls the parent or guardian to get feedback and to see if the child is happy to proceed with further sessions. In this way the child does not feel pressurised to agree to another session. If the child is happy to carry on then a follow up appointment is made.
