How Does Hypnotherapy Work with Children?
​
In most children, the imagination of a child is very vivid and strong.
By using the active imagination of the child during hypnotherapy. It is relatively easy to reach the subconscious levels of the mind in a child. Children respond incredibly well to stories, visualizations, imaginative games, and other simple tools. Metaphors are used to guide clients while in hypnosis. Children love stories and easily apply the “moral” to their own worlds.
Hypnosis has helped many children increase their confidence. Start to do their homework, go to school, and even improve their marks at school.
Hypnosis has also helped them with many other problems; like bed wetting, nightmares, stealing, anger, aggression, and low self-esteem, separation anxiety, bereavement, stuttering, thumb sucking, nail biting, food related problems and many other issues.
​
The first session involves the child, parent or parents and the hypnotherapist. It is a time for establishing some trust, and for the therapist and child to identify what the problem is and how they are going to approach and deal with the problem.
It is important that the child wants to make the change and is prepared to work with the hypnotherapist.
​
How many times does a typical child visit a hypnotherapist?
Most children attend 4 to 8 sessions with a qualified hypnotist. During that time, the hypnotist can teach a child how to hypnotize himself.
How effective is hypnosis in children?
In the right child, hypnosis can be very successful. Remember: There are some children who have a harder time letting go. But for those who can, the results can be very positive. Another plus of hypnosis is that unlike drugs, the risk of harm is practically zero.
I welcome children as they are amazing to work with
and the results they attain is very rewarding for them and their families.
