Recommended to treat symptoms<\/strong> of learning disorders, hypnosis can also support children with Attention Deficit Disorder, with or without Hyperactivity<\/a> (ADHD). The professional’s techniques can then act on hyperactivity and\/or inattention, in order to help them adopt good habits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the 3 main symptoms of ADHD?<\/h2>\n

Attention Deficit Disorder, with or without Hyperactivity, is characterised by a triad of symptoms<\/strong>: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The first shows up as difficulty concentrating for more than a few minutes; the second, as constant, uncontrolled physical restlessness; the third, as impulsivity, both physical and verbal.<\/p>\n

This triad of symptoms is mostly seen combined or mixed together<\/strong> in children with ADHD, though some may show a predominance of hyperactivity\/impulsivity, or a predominance of inattention.<\/p>\n

Generally, ADHD symptoms are treated with conventional or traditional medicine. Hypnosis<\/a>, meanwhile, fits into a complementary therapeutic approach<\/strong>. It can improve comfort for children and teenagers, easing the effects of ADHD and improving the management of associated disorders\u2026<\/p>\n

How does hypnosis support children with ADHD?<\/h2>\n

Safe for the child, hypnosis acts on their subconscious, aiming to reprogram and change their behaviour<\/strong>. But the child remains in control of themselves throughout the sessions, and can say “no” or leave the room if they feel the need to.<\/p>\n

During the first session, called the “intake assessment<\/strong>,” the child doesn’t even need to be present<\/strong> at the appointment with the hypnotherapist: this allows parents<\/a> to speak freely and calmly about their child’s situation and symptoms. In return, the professional takes the time to explain their approach, building a relationship of trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depending on the child’s needs, the hypnotherapist can reduce unwanted behaviours<\/strong> linked to ADHD, using relaxation, breathing or visualisation techniques. They can help the child concentrate<\/strong>, reduce stress<\/strong>, or even improve <\/strong>their self-confidence<\/strong><\/a>. They can also help change how the child sees themselves<\/strong>, since the ADHD label is often seen as limiting or as making them different.<\/p>\n

How does hypnosis adapt to the patient’s age?<\/h2>\n

While the goals may be the same from one child with ADHD to another, hypnosis sessions are adapted to their age<\/strong>, using a wide range of techniques and tools.<\/p>\n

For example, the professional may recommend objects to help with concentration, such as a chewable pen topper<\/strong>. They can use hypnotic stories or magical thinking<\/strong> to better manage emotions<\/a>. From age 8, they can introduce the child to self-hypnosis<\/strong>, so they can find their own calm and maintain that state.<\/p>\n

On average, it takes around 5 hypnosis sessions<\/strong> to see a change in the child.<\/p>\n

Don’t hesitate to contact a hypnotherapist on the Ora Visio platform<\/a> to discuss support together! Requesting the intake assessment, for example, helps to clearly identify the issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
