Reduced to a loss of control on TV shows, hypnosis in fact has genuine therapeutic effectiveness<\/strong>. Indeed, many healthcare professionals recommend it to address the effects of DYS disorders and ADHD<\/strong> (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, with or without hyperactivity). For example, this discipline can help with low self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as stress, poor concentration and restlessness. But first, a few persistent misconceptions about <\/strong>hypnosis for children<\/a> need to be tackled!<\/p>\n

Misconception #1: Hypnosis can’t be used on children<\/h2>\n

FALSE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the contrary, children have a great imagination<\/strong> and put up fewer barriers<\/strong> than adults. Yet the success of a hypnosis session depends directly on this ability to let go. Without preconceptions<\/strong>, they allow themselves to be guided towards solutions for wellbeing<\/strong>, while remaining conscious throughout. Better still, they often enjoy the playful, pleasant nature<\/strong> of this approach.<\/p>\n

While there is no minimum age<\/strong> for practising hypnosis, the effectiveness of a session for a child depends on their ability to express their desire to change: it’s only from around age 6<\/strong> that they can make full use of the discipline’s potential<\/strong>. Before that age, the practitioner will need to guide them towards the solution, helping them recognise their feelings at every step.<\/p>\n

Misconception #2: Hypnosis can’t do anything for “DYS” disorders<\/h2>\n

FALSE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypnosis for children is used to tackle numerous conditions<\/strong>: enuresis (bedwetting), encopresis (faecal incontinence), sleep disorders, difficulties managing emotions or eating, and more. It also helps to treat the effects of DYS disorders<\/strong> – namely, low self-esteem and self-confidence. It also has an effect on behaviours linked to ADHD<\/strong>, such as restlessness, stress or poor attention.<\/p>\n

Today, this discipline is increasingly being used to help children cope<\/strong> with DYS disorders (dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyscalculia…). During the session, their unconscious mind<\/strong> is engaged to develop a learning strategy<\/strong>. At the same time, the practitioner takes advantage of this particular state of consciousness to introduce tools that build the child’s self-confidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Misconception #3: A parent must always be present during their child’s hypnosis session<\/h2>\n

FALSE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the hypnotherapist, the hypnotised child is at the heart of the session<\/strong>. Since their wellbeing is essential, it’s up to them to decide<\/strong> what’s best for them. They are free to ask their parents to stay or, on the contrary, to leave them alone. On this matter, there are no fixed rules<\/strong>, and no right or wrong choice.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the practitioner asks the child at the start of each session<\/strong> whether they want to be accompanied or not. If not, the parent will need to wait in the waiting room, for between 30 minutes and 1 hour<\/strong>, depending on the child’s age.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t hesitate to request an appointment with one of our hypnotherapists<\/a><\/strong>: this practice, when well embraced in childhood, offers immediate results that will give your child a solid foundation for building their adult life. Note that sessions can be held remotely with ORA professionals<\/strong> – making everyday life easier for everyone, without compromising the effectiveness of the therapy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
