Children’s Hypnotherapy in Greytown
Children respond exceptionally well to Hypnotherapy as their brains are naturally in an imaginative state which is why they fall so easily into make-believe play. They are also primed for learning, constantly observing and storing information in their subconscious creating thought patterns that can stay with them into adulthood.
Children's natural trance-like state allows me to use play and imagination to offer hypnotherapeutic suggestions that drives behavioural changes.
The child's willingness to change is essential to the success of Hypnotherapy. Without the desire to change the child's mind is likely to reject the hypnotic suggestions. In the first session I spend time speaking with the child to determine their motivation to change and how life would look for them if the old behaviour was replaced by the new behaviour.
Hypnotherapy for children is completely safe, there are no side effects. Hypnosis cannot make your child do anything against their will.
Hypnotherapy may alleviate multiple emotional and behavioral struggles in children.

In a children’s Hypnotherapy session at my clinic in Greytown, Wairarapa I use play-based methods to take the child into their imagination where we visualise the solution to the child’s challenges, often using metaphor or story-telling. As children are naturally in trance until the age of 7-8 years old this, is a very easy and enjoyable process for the child. For example, for a 6 year old with bed-wetting issues we might act out a situation of controlling their bladder - stopping and starting at will - by walking and stopping the horse. Hypnosis for children does not require them to it still with their eyes closed. Children are very capable of creating vivid internal worlds which we utilise in a Hypnotherapy session to make hypnotic suggestions to create change. For older children and teenagers, Hypnotherapy is much like an adults session where trance is induced by guided meditation then suggestions posed to the child’s subconscious mind by the Hypnotherapist.
