What is Pediatric Hypnotherapy?

​

If your child is experiencing excessive stress, anxiety, digestive issues, trouble focusing, or difficulty falling asleep, hypnotherapy may provide the answer you’ve been looking for.

​

Pediatric hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help your child decrease stress and anxiety, achieve goals, build confidence, find relief from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), improve focus and attention, reduce excessive fears, and much more.

​

During hypnosis, your child enters a state of deep relaxation, concentration, and focused attention which allows the subconscious to pick up suggestions particularly well. The subconscious is the part of us that stores and runs all of our automatic, patterned responses, while the conscious mind is responsible for analytical problem solving. Everything we do without thinking first is governed by a subconscious response. This includes things like driving a car, brushing our teeth, and how we emotionally respond to events in our daily lives. In hypnosis, the subconscious becomes the more dominant awareness, allowing your child to more easily change unwanted patterns that have formed over the course of their lives.
