How Hypnosis can help your child.

Children are at the critical stage of their mental and emotional development.  Experiences and daily events imprint their minds and continue to form the fabric of their beliefs, creativity and perceived limitations. In certain behaviours, saying something negative or a traumatic experience can shape the way they view the world. Like adults, children will use past experiences to distort the way they experience all future events. Although adults tend to be more effective at realising the inaccuracy of such distortions, many children lack both experience and the resources to deal with the overwhelm it can create. The difficulty for parents is recognising when their child needs help and what can be done about it.

Changes in mood, appetite, relationships and communication are often subtle signs. Some children express their thoughts whilst others make mention of it and parents don’t realise the significance until it slaps them in the face. If you have found yourself saying “don’t worry about it” to your child often that may not be enough. There is a simple and effective way to shift a child’s limiting beliefs or anxiety.

Hypnosis for children is a very powerful and quick way to change thinking patterns. It eliminates limiting beliefs, changes the emotion attached to past memories and creates an unconscious belief/feeling that they’re ok. The reason it’s so useful is that children are fantastic at using their imagination and can easily be placed in a hypnotic trance. When in this state, we begin to change unwanted thoughts, feelings and resolve any past issues to allow them a bright, happy future. 

You may be thinking what kind of things can Hypnosis be used for?  Hypnosis can be used for Anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, phobias and removing limiting self-beliefs. I generally treat from 8 years and up and it won’t conflict with medication or other treatments.
