DYS disorders are cognitive disorders that make learning to read, use language, calculate, use fine motor movements, or pay attention more difficult; but around these difficulties, children often develop psychological problems too (loss of self-esteem, anxiety, inhibition, insomnia…), which can go as far as school phobia. Fortunately, hypnosis can influence these states, offering children a different perspective on their learning disorders.
Hypnosis, to release intellectual inhibition
A therapeutic technique that is rapidly expanding, even though misconceptions persist, hypnosis can be used in many areas: quitting smoking, weight loss, supporting childbirth, reducing stress… While it cannot treat DYS disorders themselves, it can act on the negative consequences typically observed around these learning difficulties.
Often frustrated at not succeeding or understanding something at school or in daily life, children with DYS often develop intellectual inhibition. In other words, they prefer to give up or not think about it, so as not to face a new failure. This particularly limiting attitude stops them from making progress and finding alternatives to work around their difficulty.
This is where the Ora-Visio platform’s hypnotherapist can step in, to reverse this tendency and instil the desire and drive to progress.
A tailored approach for children with DYS
In practice, the professional will help the child change their perspective on their “disability.” Most children with DYS have an extraordinary ability to perceive symbols, this image-based language that allows them to communicate with the unconscious. Here, there isn’t one single truth, but rather a range of probable truths, inviting them to find their own. Connected to their emotions, sensations and intuitions in this way, they can develop their own method for decoding their disorder. Through this support, the hypnotherapist considerably reduces the stress of children with DYS, who until then had felt stuck searching for the “right” answer or direction.
From a strictly neurological point of view, hypnotic trance also helps “strengthen” the corpus callosum, the bridge connecting the two hemispheres that is responsible for passing information from one side to the other. This makes it more fluid, while also developing logical reasoning and creativity.
Self-hypnosis: keys to self-confidence at any moment
Hypnosis in children, which is completely risk-free, can be practised at any age and helps reduce the consequences of DYS disorders (self-confidence) as well as those of ADHD (stress, poor concentration, forgetfulness…).
Being a very receptive audience, children with dyslexia find self-hypnosis even easier to learn — largely thanks to their remarkable natural extra-sensory ability. Playful in nature, this brief therapy (Ericksonian hypnosis) is geared towards an immediate solution, giving the child the tools to draw on whenever they find themselves lacking confidence.
Don’t hesitate to contact an online hypnotherapist on the Ora-Visio platform: the first session will likely put your remaining doubts to rest and help you feel at ease with this therapeutic approach!
