I know all too well that parenthood comes with its fair share of challenges, so I truly enjoy helping parents and children manage their behaviours through hypnotherapy, as well as anxiety and stress – because I truly understand that it is a top priority for many parents.
As a mother of 4 children, a Blue Card Holder for my work with children and with a previous career in Early Childhood Education, I have a passion for supporting parents and children, particularly through peaceful parenting. I truly love how children’s minds are so open, imaginative, optimistic, and full of wonder, and I find these qualities to be very effective in clinical hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy is a neuroscientific, therapeutic method that is incredibly powerful for calming children and parents alike. This safe, natural and amazing form of therapy offers a vast range of benefits, providing a gentle and non-invasive approach to promoting emotional well-being. There is endless potential for the benefits of hypnotherapy to facilitate positive changes, including creating a more harmonious and tranquil environment within the family unit.
Contrary to common misconceptions, the state of hypnosis is not about losing control or being manipulated in any way (as much as TV shows and movies make that completely inaccurate, ill-informed and misguided concept a compelling plot point). Instead, clinical hypnotherapy is a collaborative process utilising neuroscience, in which the individual is guided into a deeply relaxed state while remaining 100% in control to access their subconscious mind to address emotional and behavioural issues.
It is a form of mind control, in a way. Still, only in the context that it provides the patient with the power to control their own amazing, brilliant, genius mind more effectively, and by understanding more about the neuroplasticity of the brain, you can understand how to more effectively use your own neurology and neurochemistry to support your emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention, specific language patterns and a combination of powerful therapeutic modalities to create a state of heightened awareness and concentration where positive changes can be made at the deepest subconscious level. It’s a great way to learn about and practise peaceful parenting in all its forms.
Benefits of Clinical Hypnotherapy for Children
Anxiety and stress reduction
Hypnotherapy helps children cope with anxiety and stress by accessing the subconscious mind and promoting relaxation. It can be particularly useful for children dealing with exam stress, social anxiety, feelings of self-worth, separation anxiety, phobias, and trauma-related issues.
Improved sleep patterns
Many children struggle with sleep-related issues, leading to fatigue and irritability. Hypnotherapy can aid in establishing healthy sleep patterns, including reducing insomnia, nightmares, and bedtime resistance.
Boosted self-esteem and confidence
Hypnotherapy empowers children by addressing self-esteem and confidence issues. By accessing the subconscious mind, it can help instil positive beliefs, overcome self-doubt, and foster a sense of inner strength. Strengthening children’s feelings of self-worth in childhood is so empowering that they can benefit from it throughout their whole lives. It has untold benefits in a wide variety of aspects of their lives.
Behavioural modification
Hypnotherapy can be beneficial for children with behavioural challenges such as bedwetting, nail-biting, teeth grinding or thumb sucking. Tapping into the subconscious mind that drives 90 – 95% of our behaviours helps identify and address the root causes and promote positive change.
Benefits of Clinical Hypnotherapy for Peaceful Parenting
Stress management
Parenting can be exhausting, challenging and stressful, and hypnotherapy offers parents a powerful tool to manage their own stress levels. Parents can create a calm and supportive environment for their children by learning relaxation techniques and coping strategies.
Enhanced communication skills
Hypnotherapy can improve communication between parents and children by helping parents understand their own triggers and reactions. It promotes effective listening, empathy, and better emotional regulation.
Positive parenting techniques
Hypnotherapy assists parents in adopting positive parenting techniques by addressing their own unhealed wounds within, fears, frustrations and insecurities. It encourages self-reflection and supports the development of nurturing and compassionate parenting practices.
Increased self-awareness
Through hypnotherapy, parents can develop a deeper understanding of their own beliefs, values, and patterns. This self-awareness enables them to make conscious choices and model healthy behaviours for their children.
Self-Care
Parenting requires many acts of selflessness, which can sometimes be incredibly depleting. It is essential to give yourself the same amount of love and care that you extend to all others in order for you to be the parent that you want them to remember and the parent that you wish to be.
In order to create a session for you, we would have a discussion about your areas of concern and your desired results, and this guides me to ensure I tailor the session to your individual, personalised needs.
Everyone is beautifully unique and different and comes from a wonderfully diverse range of backgrounds, so there is no size fits all when it comes to supporting the subconscious mind that drives 90-95% of our behaviours.
Hypnotherapy is a gentle but powerful form of therapy that supports families in creating a balanced, harmonious family environment, leading to enhanced communication, reduced stress and improvements in overall family dynamics.
