        Change Your Thoughts: Change Your Life - You're Worth It


A typical hypnosis session to benefit your child


Before the session

The process starts most often with a phone or zoom consultation with a parent where they outline the condition or diagnosis of the child or teen and the desired outcome or solution. I will request some context like the current presentation and how long the condition or behaviour has existed and what other practitioners the child has seen.

 

Attending a session

During the hypnotherapy session I expect a parent or guardian to be present.  Fortunately I have sufficient space and design in my workspace to allow a parent to be in the room but not actively engaged in the session. We work towards achieving the outcomes discussed in the personalised scope for your child.

 

The first session

The focus of our first session is getting to know the child or teen, understanding their interests, likes and dislikes, to build trust and rapport; observing interaction and keeping the session positive and light hearted. We talk about how they feel and behave, using real time example of daily events like school, teachers, home or out-of-school activities. We also talk about how they would rather like to feel, or behave.

I evaluate your child’s condition and begin formulating an intervention treatment plan. For example, enhancing the positives and gently focusing the conversation and play on the preferred behaviours and thinking.  Like staying dry all the night, so that it would be possible to have a sleep-over with friends. Or feeling safe and happy to leave home each day and go to school.

During the session

My intervention treatment plan consists of hypno-therapeutic techniques, stress management, deep relaxation, neurolinguistic programming, visualisation and cognitive behavioural therapy.

I teach the child to use imagery for general physical and mental relaxation through playful exchange, appropriate to your child’s age group. I show children how to do this so that they can do it at home, at school and any time they desire.

We work towards achieving the outcomes discussed in the personalised scope for your child.  At all times I guide the child towards the solution and identify strengths and resources that the child already has, which will be useful.

The session will last between one hour and an hour and a half. Most treatment programs require at least two sessions, and sometimes up to four.

Teens

For teens, my aim is to teach self-regulation techniques, always empowering the teen to a positive, moving-forward approach, delivering positive suggestions to boost their confidence in addition to guided visualisations to overcoming their problems.

Parents

Parents of young children — through observation and some interactions — also learn some essential techniques to support continued home practice. 

After the session

For most issues, the child will receive a specially recorded hypnosis audio file for use at home, especially at bed time.

Testimonial

"My 11yo son has had ongoing medical problems since birth. Amanda was recommended to me, and I sought out her help after doctors were unable to resolve the issue. I found her to be extremely empathetic and confident as I sat in on a Zoom session with my son. After one short session, he has gained control of his problem and is far more confident. As a parent feeling helpless, this was the breakthrough I have been searching for. I'm extremely grateful for Amanda's knowledge and skills and would highly recommend her." Jason G.
