Children’s fears and phobias can be difficult to understand. Children may have specific fears that they don’t want to talk about, or they may not know why they’re afraid of something. The good news is that there are many ways of dealing with children’s fears and phobias. Hypnotherapy is one such way that can help children overcome their fear and anxiety in a safe, gentle manner.
We need to understand the root cause of the fear first before we start working on it. This will allow us to use more appropriate techniques for treating it and help the child overcome it faster.
The fear of the dark, fear of monsters, fear of strangers, fear of public speaking are all common fears in children. These phobias can lead to anxiety and low self-esteem in children.
Hypnotherapy is a method that uses hypnosis to deal with these fears and phobias.
It is safe, gentle and effective. It can be quick too with the average session lasting about an hour.
It is non-invasive which means there are no needles or drugs involved.
Fears and Phobias, if not treated, can develop a type of anxiety disorder and can get more acute over time. They are an irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that is out of proportion to the actual danger. Children may have phobias, but they are more likely to have fears; a fear of vomiting, of swallowing tablets, needles, dogs, someone breaking in, being on their own, sleeping on their own, and many more.
Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that can help relieve children from their fears and phobias by using relaxation techniques and suggestions. Hypnotherapy is safe, gentle and effective, so it can be used on children without any side effects. It also doesn’t take long to see results – usually between one to three sessions are enough to help them overcome their fear or phobia.
