Self-Esteem in Kids

Hypnotherapy with children and teens can be used to overcome fears and phobias, to alleviate stress and anxieties, to work through a traumatic event.  I use hypnotherapy for children who experience ADD, ADHD, test performance, sports performance. 

 

Hypnotherapy is often used with children who are bullied and experience low self-esteem. It is often during the years 0-5 that children become attached to a belief system that evolved as a defense mechanism and became ingrained in their psyche as being true or real.

 

I use hypnotherapy to help children and teens develop a stronger sense of self-worth, to gain new perspectives on how to deal with “bad things that happen.”

 

Research shows us that hypnotherapy is particularly valuable in the treatment of anxiety disorders and trauma related conditions after a disturbing event.  Hypnotherapy can provide these children with stronger coping skills. Even when problems are presented as physical symptoms, such as pain, I look at the hypnotherapeutic treatment that will be most effective for the child.

 

Often with children, I use stories, parables and metaphors to address the issues they are working to change or overcome.  Children have very active imaginations and are able to fantasize easier than most adults.  They can visualize effectively.

 

In my practice, I see children and teens of all ages. Hypnotherapy has endless applications in working with children and teen to help with a huge variety of issues, feelings, emotions, and fears.
