Why Children Might Come to a Hypnotherapist?
Issues, for which hypnotic methods and tools are a helpful response, include doing
homework, performing better in the classroom, getting to school and liking it,
improving grades, friendlessness, thumb sucking, bedwetting, nightmares and
fear of the dark, stealing, low self-esteem, dealing with divorce or death in a
family, illness - their own or someone in the family, and a myriad of other
problems.
One of the most frequent reasons children are brought to hypnotherapists is for
learning improvement. When it comes to school life, there are many problems
children can develop. This may be one of the largest areas of concerns for parents,
and one for which good marketing can reap good results. Such arenas as reading,
writing, memory, getting homework done, grades, peer pressure and friendships,
classroom deportment, self-esteem, and even wanting to be in school are effectively
and easily handled, for the most part, by one or two hypnosis sessions.
The Power of the Imagination
The imagination of children is very keen until parents, teachers and others
interfere. In many schools, the style of teaching in the classroom can tend to rule
out the playful and imaginative, once children pass the second or third grade.
When adults consider daydreaming worthless, when they call attention to Its
“cuteness” to others, and associate imagination with lying, or otherwise imply
ridicule and non-belief, the child gradually lets it weaken.
The doorway between the conscious and the unconscious mind is the imagination.
For children, it's relatively easy to reach at the deepest levels, in a much quicker
time than required by a good many adults. Stories, adventures, visualization,
imaginative games, role-playing, magic, puppets, and costumes work most
effectively with children. Any tools that one's stimulate the imagination should be
at the hypnotherapist's disposal.
What Hypnosis Can Do For Children
Hypnosis works well because there are less years of reinforcing imprints on one's
mind. Children are more susceptible to hypnosis. They have the drive to discover
and they hunger for new experiences. They're open to new learnings, willing to
receive and respond to new ideas, as long as they are presented in an
understandable way. Children are usually easily relaxed and focused. They have
an ability to change and to be versatile, and, before the age of twelve, to accept
most ideas uncritically. They aren't as dominated by rational questioning and
concerns that adults have formed through their life experiences. Also, they don't
have the fears and misconceptions about hypnosis that so many adults have. This
makes it relatively easy to work with them.
Working with children is a wonderful specialty. The benefits of hypnosis with
children are the same as for adults, as long as their problems are treated as
seriously as adults. Hypnosis is a powerful tool in strengthening a child's
confidence. It helps a child to feel empowered where, before, they have been “victim.”
It releases willingness to use their natural gifts. It elicits talent and creativity. It
provides a wonderful foundation in their education. With a good hypnotherapist,
children can experience true success in their lives in all areas. They feel happier,
and have a sense of real freedom.

Use of Imaginative Scripts
A child doesn't always have to have traditional inductions used in order to be
hypnotized. Besides the traditional positive suggestion approach, there is a wide
variety of possibilities for effectively inducting a child and providing a proper
“prescription” for healing or changing habits. Most children are in a sort of trance-
like state already, or, at the very least, fuzzy about the line between the real and
unreal. This makes it possible to create a trancelike state in some very simple
ways. Some of these can include telling stories or creating a metaphors, using the
child's favorite television program to spin a tale, creating an adventure a child
can go on that leads to a solution to their problem, looking at a gyroscope or into a
kaleidoscope, focusing on a dot on the guide's finger, coloring an optical illusion
while the therapist talks to them, making use of a pendulum, hypnotizing a
puppet in order to show a child how very simple it is, going on an amazing trip
such as a rocket to Mars, or locating a magical kingdom where wonderful things
can happen that change your life.
The Star/Tree/Garden script in GREAT ESCAPES, Volume I, is a good example
of placing the child in a visual and safe setting. Blowing up balloons, receiving
gifts from the sea, burning a ship of problems, changing labels and others provide
settings that allow the child to be active in their changing. Another value of such
methods is that they can be used for just about any age group. Being animals,
meeting a magician who helps you change, greeting people on the other side of the
rainbow, or going into a tough area with your favorite hero are fun for a child,
and make use of their wonderful imagination.

EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR HYPNOTHERAPY:
Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: The clinical
work that demonstrates the effectiveness of hypnotherapy with these two learning
disorders was published several years ago and the results have been reported to the
National Institute of Health. The work in this area deals with lots of direct and
indirect suggestions for focusing and relaxation. Each patient is taught several
methods to induce immediate self-hypnosis when he or she is beginning to respond to
ADD/ADHD behavior. They use self-hypnosis to relax and to become reorganized.
Test Anxiety: This a fairly common student problem. The therapy principles that are
used to reduce common anxiety are used here. The suggestion that anytime an anxiety
producing thought enters the conscious mind the patient will immediately throw up a
mental stop sign that says, "sorry, you are no longer welcome here!" Control the
thinking processes and you control the body's reactions.
Dyslexia: This is a condition in which a reader has difficulty recognizing words and
numbers in their proper positioning. Suggestions are given that their vision will
improve and that once they have learned a word that it will make a lasting impression
on them and that the future recall of the word will become much easier as time passes.
Further suggestions are given that the unconscious mind will assist him to develop
coordination among his eyes, brain and memory, and that there will be a reduction in
anxiety about reading and writing processes.
