The appointment was for my son.
We really liked Ms. Leblanc’s approach: she was a great listener and the session met all our expectations.
I highly recommend her.
Why use hypnosis for children?
Hypnotherapy for children is a delicate and useful tool for symptoms such as :
- Sleep disorders, nightmares, nocturnal fears
- Fears and phobias: fear of certain animals, fear of the dark, etc.
- Potty training (enuresis, encopresis), stopping thumb sucking, compulsive behaviors
- Hyperactivity, concentration and learning difficulties, and other symptoms of ADHD.
- Shyness, lack of self-confidence or of self-esteem
- School-related stress, performance stress, anxiety
- Emotion management in general, and frustration and anger management in particular.
Growing up can be a difficult process
The “rational” brain matures much later than the “emotional” brain, and it’s not easy to be reasonable when pressure increases and emotions run high: anger, fears, sadness, joy, anxiety…
With behaviors that are sometimes hard to control, and hard to bear for those around you.
And also nocturnal fears, aggressiveness or opposition…
And developing self-esteem and self-confidence is a daily task…
Hypnosis with children will use their own imagination:
Children don’t need a protocol to go off into beautiful and… therapeutic stories.
That’s why hypnosis with children is less formal than with adults, and it’s often enough to enter their world to subtly animate characters, animals, cuddly toys, real or imaginary friends…
From the age of 5-6, and sometimes even before, they generally love this moment when we pretend to be asleep, the better to build stories together, more or less real. And what if they became real…?
At what age can I start consulting a hypnotherapist?
We see children from the age of 5.
How does a hypnotherapy session with children work?
Before the therapeutic hypnosis session
We usually have an introductory discussion with at least one of the parents on the phone to check that we’re the right resource.
It’s important that the child is willing to take part in the process: even if he/she doesn’t necessarily understand what hypnosis is, you can show your child the photo or video presentation of the hypnotherapist on our team to encourage him/her to meet this person who tells somewhat magical stories 🙂
The child really needs to want to come.
But often the word hypnosis whets their curiosity, and they’re very impatient!
The session
At the start of the session, the 3 of us talk: the parent present and the child.
Then the actual session usually takes place with just the child.
At the end of the session, there’s a quick feedback with the parent, but if all goes well, we don’t go into details. The child usually likes to keep that to himself, and he’ll talk about it later when he feels like it.
Note: from the age of 14, the content of sessions is confidential unless the physical or mental health of the teenager or a member of his or her entourage is at risk. Or if a referral to a doctor or psychologist is required.
