Children's Hypnotherapy Ages 5-17

Service Description

Children respond very well to hypnosis simply because they are more in touch with their imaginations and have fewer life experiences. Suggestions are more readily accepted because we are unlikely going against any of the child’s core beliefs. When adults teach children to be careful, they also teach them to fear many things. Children can pick up on fears of others, particularly fears held by family members, and suddenly they may fear something they have never personally experienced. Bed wetting, bullying, difficulty in school and other negative experiences can create issues in your child's development due to unresolved emotions, such as embarrassment, shame, anger, guilt, and fear. Using stories and guided visualization, we deliver positive suggestions to boost their confidence, identify strengths and inner resources and guide the child towards overcoming their issue. Is your child experiencing any of the following? If so, learn how hypnosis can be effective for: Fear & Phobias Confidence & Self-Esteem Thumb-sucking Sibling rivalry, birth of a new sibling Fear of pain during medical procedures Bed wetting 7yrs+ Learning difficulties Trauma Asthma Stuttering Aversion to school Transitions such as death of a pet or loved one, divorce, moving Test anxiety Public speaking Shyness Bullying As with any therapy, it is important for the parent to know what is going on. However, during a child's hypnotherapy session, the parent is asked to be in the room but to take a back seat and not participate. *California Hypnotherapy Services Child Policy: CHS will not conduct hypnosis on children for the purpose of improving their sports performance, excelling in school, or becoming the next Mozart. Sending your child to hypnotherapy to create "the perfect child" is unrealistic and unhealthy. Lying, tantrums, and fussy eating are all part of growing up and children need to learn the difference between good behavior, bad behavior, and boundaries. Children will typically grow out of stage development behavior. Studies show that focusing on grades steals away the deep motivation we have for learning in general. Having your child obsess over their GPA, rather than being a kid, could be stripping away their love of learning and making them miserable. We believe kids should be kids and not be pushed to unattainable excellency. We are here to help your child experience a happier, healthier childhood. *Note: Results will vary and are not the same for everyone.
