Learn how child hypnosis can help your child thrive. Whether it's anxiety, phobias, sleep issues, or self-confidence – Sara Tewes, Berlin's expert in hypnosis therapy, is here for you.
What is Child Hypnosis?
As a mother, father, or guardian, your child's well-being is your top priority. You are constantly searching for safe and effective ways to strengthen your child and support them through difficult situations. This is where child hypnosis comes into play.
Child hypnosis is a specialized application of hypnosis designed for children and adolescents. In this method, hypnotherapists use trance states to communicate with the child's subconscious mind. Children use their own resources and natural abilities to find answers and solutions to their concerns.
Child Hypnosis Explained Through a Simple Example
When children play, they experience their world through stories. They are completely present in the "here and now" and experience their world through their thoughts, feelings, and body. With their wonderful imagination, they can process, test, and reinvent daily life with its challenges, conflicts, and wishes.
When applied constructively, hypnosis is a gentle and safe method that offers several advantages:
Sustainable Change: The changes initiated through hypnosis are lasting and can bring about long-term improvements in the child's thinking and behavior.
Positive Suggestions: In these hypnotic states, children are particularly receptive to positive suggestions. These suggestions are designed to create positive changes in the child's thinking and behavior.
Communication: During the relaxed state, hypnotherapists can communicate with the child's subconscious mind to identify the causes of fears, worries, or behavioral problems.
Empowerment: Child hypnosis helps children recognize and utilize their own inner resources and abilities, leading to increased self-efficacy and improved self-confidence.
Relaxation: Hypnosis guides the child into a state of deep relaxation. It's a natural form of relaxation similar to "daydreaming" - and children are true experts at this.
It's important to note that child hypnosis is always based on the needs and well-being of the child. Sessions are conducted in a way that encourages the child and gives them a sense of control. It's a respectful method that strengthens the child 100% rather than controlling them.
Applications of Child Hypnosis
The applications of child hypnosis are diverse, ranging from everyday challenges to complex behavioral problems. Through hypnosis, children can learn to use their inner resources to overcome their difficulties and improve their well-being.
Here are some of the most common applications of child hypnosis:
Fears and Phobias: From test anxiety to social fears to specific phobias - hypnosis can help children understand and overcome their fears.
Sleep Disorders: Hypnosis can help children develop better sleep habits and overcome sleep problems such as insomnia, nightmares, or sleepwalking.
Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem: Hypnosis can improve the child's self-image, strengthen self-confidence, and help develop positive self-esteem.
Concentration and Learning Problems: Hypnosis can help children improve their attention, better concentrate on their tasks, and optimize their learning abilities.
Managing Stress and Inner Restlessness: Hypnosis can teach children how to better cope with stress and inner restlessness, helping them be more relaxed and balanced in daily life.
Coping with Loss and Trauma: Hypnosis can help process losses or traumatic experiences and support the healing process.
Bedwetting: Hypnosis can help with bedwetting by encouraging the child to take control of their body and strengthen their self-confidence.
It's important to understand that child hypnosis is not a magical solution but rather a tool that helps children use their own resources and abilities to overcome their challenges.
Safety of Child Hypnosis - Important Aspects
Child hypnosis is a valuable tool for supporting your child's emotional and cognitive development. However, it's important to address some aspects and clear up misunderstandings:
Complementary Therapy: Child hypnosis does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment but serves as a complementary therapy form. For serious psychological problems, a doctor or therapist should always be consulted.
No Loss of Control: Many parents fear that their child will lose control during hypnosis. In reality, the child remains fully conscious during a hypnosis session and maintains complete control over their actions.
No Manipulation: There are fears that the child will be manipulated during hypnosis. However, hypnosis is actually a respectful method that encourages and strengthens the child. They will never act against their will.
Trust and Communication: An important aspect of child hypnosis is trust and open communication between the hypnotherapist and the child. The therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where the child can speak freely and express their thoughts and feelings.
Individual Adaptation: Each hypnosis session is individually adapted to the child's age, needs, and comfort zone. This ensures that the child feels comfortable and safe throughout the entire session.
Quick Success Compared to Other Therapy Forms, BUT: Child hypnosis is not a miracle cure and doesn't offer immediate solutions. It's a process that requires time and patience but can bring about sustainable positive changes.
