1. Acne and other Skin Disorders
(Psoriasis, Eczema, Scabies, Warts)
Stress and worry are the two major contributors for common skin
disorders. Hypnotherapy teaches children how to naturally relax and
release tension. The guided imagery program stimulates natural
creativity to see the skin beginning to smooth itself and restore its
natural quality.
2. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD
and AD/HD)
Hypnotherapy is presented as a natural inner- teaching tool allowing
the mind to focus and concentrate while shading out sensory
distractions. Best results are achieved when children listen to this 25
minute CD every evening just before bedtime.
3. Asthma
The intentional focus on rhythmic deep breathing as children listen
to a trance enforcing story about being in control in a scary place
creates an internal message of calmness affecting both the lungs and the
mind’s need to overcome stress.
4. Bedwetting
Typically the result of a combination of mild anxiety, deep sleep
cycling and a reinforced fear of not being in control. Children learn
how to cue themselves to the neurological signal sent by the bladder
prior to release even in a sleep state. As they gain confidence in
mastering the self-awareness they become more focused on positive
expectation which quickly becomes generalized to other aspects of their
lives.
5. Bug Phobia
Children learn to be afraid of bugs through their own bad experiences
or by watching others react and assuming the fear is normal. Through
hypnotherapy they learn how to go back to a time when there was no fear
and by interjecting a fun play activity in place of the negative event
the bug reaction becomes neutralized.
6. Bicycle Riding Fear
The fear of falling and getting hurt only exists until the child
masters the ability to balance. The very first time success is realized
confidence naturally begins to emerge. Through hypnotherapy children
intuitively see themselves riding and having fun. A positive expectation
is created as a mastery issue becoming very powerful along with the
anticipation of success.
7. Confidence Building
This generic issue is very open to a special story-telling
hypnotherapy experience involving the development of mastering specific
and broad goals. Learning to make wise decisions, free of self-doubt and
second guessing, becomes a subconscious challenge along the path to
self-discovery.
8. Dentist and Doctor Fears
Similar to other fears and phobias children learn this either through
their own experiences or watching others. While in trance they
experience a positive healing reaction by making friends with their
dentist or doctor through a story of blended metaphors.
9. Fingernail Biting
The combination of unconscious habit, mild anxiety and the need to
feel in control are powerful reinforcers. Again, the subconscious part
of the mind is accessed to allow the acceptance of a healthy habit to
replace the nail and cuticle biting. Suggestions utilizing Neuro-linguistic
Programming (NLP) create instant conscious awareness of the hand moving
to the face and an alternative message relaxes the hand. The image of
seeing healthy looking nails and cuticles is reinforced and the old
habit is successfully replaced.
10. Grief From the Loss of
Family Members, Friends and Pets
Children have a very different perspective of death than adults.
Because their world is often black and white, understanding the
abstraction of death is often confusing and fear producing. The maturity
needed to understand the life cycle is beyond young children. Through
hypnotherapy they learn how to say good-bye as they focus on good
memories to replace the fear of never seeing that person or pet again.
11. Healthy Eating Habits
Children’s taste buds are in a constant state of development
throughout adolescence. What is not liked at one age may become a
favorite later on. We know the sense of taste is very suggestable which
is why post-hypnotic suggestions can be extremely effective in creating
positive reactions to healthy foods. The expectation of tasting
something sweet can actually make vegtables and fruits more desired than
foods high in carbs.
12. Moving Adjustment
Children need to feel secure in their environment. The anticipation
of moving often evokes worry and fear. Even the most caring logical
presentation of why the move is necessary will not change the insecure
reaction. Hypnotherapy can focus children on their own inner-security so
the move becomes the anticipation of a journey or challenge.
13. Needle and Shot Fear
Unlike the fear of dentists and doctors this anxiety reaction is
specific and connected to the expectation of pain. The key to
eliminating this reaction is to divert the mind to a physically pleasing
experience and then to magnify it at the precise moment of the
injection. Through hypnotherapy, children practice creating an instant
triggering of pleasure until they are so confident they know they are
ready for the shot. It’s a great tool for general confidence building as
well.
14. Nightmares
Scary dreams unsettle children and adults alike. For children the key
is creating a belief system prior to going to sleep which places lots of
control on their ability to maintain their minds in a relaxed manner so
the nightmares do not occur or are totally suppressed with no conscious
awareness as they happen. This type of preventative post-hypnotic
suggestion is effective for dreaming, as well as releasing stress prior
to going to sleep.
15. Performing Arts
Improvement
Post-hypnotic suggestions are very effective for children involved in
theater, music, singing and dance. Performance anxiety is based on an
unconscious expectation of failure which triggers fear reactions and
creates short-term memory loss, reduced muscle coordination, nervous
tension and distracting negative messages. Children learn to put
themselves into self-hypnosis to access messages of positive belief,
confidence, mastery, and full memory retrieval including desired body
movement and effective breathing.
16. Self-esteem Improvement
Building a healthy self-esteem incorporates many different aspects
like confidence, self-belief, success, mastery, positive expectations –
eliminating several bad habits like procrastination, negative self-talk,
poor impulse control and using bad judgment. Teaching children to use
self-hypnosis allows them to experience themselves being in control and
focusing on positive outcomes. The proof of doing it establishes the
basis for good self-esteem.
17. Shyness
We are all born with an intuitive understanding of feeling safe being
around certain people and uncomfortable with others. Sometimes young
children override the natural understanding because of unintended
parental or sibling influence. Hypnotherapy teaches children how to
imagine themselves interacting freely with people, feeling calm and in
control.
18.
Social Fears or Inhibition
Similar to shyness only more intense and often the result of scary
events or negative learning experiences. When the belief is maintained
over time there is social withdrawal and severe isolation rather than
the normal childhood experience of developing peer friendships.
Hypnotherapy teaches children to bypass the negative learning,
establishing an increasing expectation of confidence and positive
outcomes to social interactions.
19. Sports Performance
This is particularly effective for baseball, soccer, martial arts,
volleyball, swimming, diving, gymnastics, tumbling, cheerleading, tennis
and golf. By focusing the subconscious part of the mind on positive
visualization while removing expectations of failure, getting hurt and
negative self-talk -- deep inner-concentration and relaxation becomes a
powerfully learned technique. Kids refer to the experience as “zoning
out”.
20. Study Habits
Hypnotherapy is used to focus the subconscious part of the mind on
the desire to experience a fun activity immediately following effective
study time. The desired effect is to create a positive habit of using
successful study habits. I will usually couple this work with
eliminating test taking anxiety. The positive result will diminish the
expectation of a fun activity until the expectation is replaced by the
reward of academic success.
21. Swimming/Drowning Phobia
The fear of drowning can be the result of a real or imagined event.
Hypnotherapy relieves the panic reaction, creates the sensation of
lightness and limb coordination while establishing the control and
confidence to accomplish the goal of swimming and experience the pride
and joy of success.
22. Test Taking Anxiety
Worry of not doing well, pressure to perform, fear of not comparing
well to peers or not gaining acceptance into desired colleges all
combine to create a powerful negative expectation. Hypnotherapy restores
the mind to a belief of mastery, competence and success. Guided imagery
within the context of relaxed concentration optimizes memory retrieval
and a positive belief.
23. Workout / Exercise Commitment
Sometimes having the desire and best of intentions is not enough to
sustain a committed plan for getting in shape. Activating the
subconscious mind to create a new habit of healthy movement and daily
working out becomes the goal. Listen to the CD every day until the new
habit becomes a routine.
