Hypnotherapy for children

TREATING CHILDREN WITH HYPNOSIS AT THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE HYPNOTHERAPY CLINIC IN CHELTENHAM

Children too can have anxieties and stress that they need to deal with but are not mature enough or intellectual enough to talk about them and rationalise them like adults can.  Therefore many thoughts and emotions can get bottled up and will eventually surface as symptoms or negative behaviour.  Some of which can include:

Bedwetting
Thumb sucking
Hair pulling
Phobias
Eating Disorders
Emetophobia
Bullying
Aggressive behaviour
Nightmares and night terrors
Toileting issues
Low confidence and self esteem 
Speech difficulties
Concentration problems

Anxiety and stress can make any problem worse.  So by allowing the child to release emotions that are bothering them, the problem they are experiencing will inevitably become less traumatic for them. 

Children are very responsive to hypnosis and the process I use here at the Gloucestershire Hypnotherapy Clinic, is called The Blowaway Technique.  It is developed for use specifically for children and adolescents.  It is able to bring forward emotions and feelings that the child may be feeling without the child having to talk about them openly.  Instead they are encouraged to use their imagination and visualisation whilst thinking and feeling certain emotions in order for them to ‘blow’ it away. Positive suggestions are then given for confidence and self-esteem in order for them to feel better within themselves, knowing any negative feelings or emotions they may have had, have been dealt with. 

This process is very powerful and can help treat many childhood problems in usually only one session. 
                                                                                      
Every child (aged 7-17) is escorted by one or both parents or guardian (normally the person who the child ‘gets on with’ the most) and the session is a very positive experience for everyone involved.
