Hypnosis for Kids

Although anxiety is typically thought of as a problem linked to adults in many cases young children will also experience issues with worry and fear. At Balance Hypnosis we work with children from the ages of 10 upwards to help calm down childhood fears and worries. As in the case of adults, it is always normal to experience some level of anxiety but when these fears start to get out of control it is prudent to get professional help to try and resolve the issue. Our childhood anxiety hypnosis in Nottinghamshire helps by teaching children how to relax, feel more confident, and to have a series of coping mechanisms to help them deal with their fears and worries.*

Anxiety in Children Symptoms

Here are just some of the issues that a child may experience with anxiety.

• Feelings of Worry or Dread

It is always prudent to get any physical symptoms checked by a doctor but if a diagnosis of anxiety is made then it is possible to help with therapy such as hypnosis. Childhood anxiety can be managed with therapy involving hypnosis, positive visualisation, confidence building and relaxation techniques. We also offer hypnosis for anxiety help for adults.*

Panic Attacks in Children

Although rare, panic attacks can impact children. Typically these are likely to strike teenagers rather than younger children. When a child is experiencing panic attacks they may experience the following symptoms:

• Shortness of Breath
• Increased Heart Rate
• Dizziness
• Sweating
• Feeling Faint
• Trembling
• Feeling of Nausea
• Pins and Needles
• Muscle Tension

If your child is suffering from any of these symptoms it is prudent to take them to their GP so a formal diagnosis of panic disorder can be made. Once your doctor has diagnosed the disorder then you can arrange a series of sessions with a hypnotherapist so that your child can start hypnotherapy for panic attack sessions to help with the problem.*

How to Help a Child with Anxiety

Childhood anxiety can be managed with hypnosis in a number of ways.

Understanding – Feeling anxiety can be extremely worrying for a child. Helping them to understand why their anxiety is there can make a massive difference in how they manage their issues.

Relaxation – All forms of anxiety tend to come about because of stressful situations. Hypnosis is a very deep form of concentrated relaxation which means that when it is practiced regularly it helps to alleviate stress levels making you feel calmer and more in control.

Managing the Causes of Anxiety – Where possible we try to understand the issues that are creating childhood anxiety. These issues can be created at home, at school, because of internal fears and worries, and confidence issues. Once we have identified where the problem lies it is possible to work with the child to find ways to manage their fears so that they take control of the problem. *
