Clinical studies show that hypnotherapy was associated with improvement in 80% of children with persistent asthma chest pain/pressure, habit cough, hyperventilation, shortness of breath, sighing and vocal cord dysfunction.

HYPNOTHERAPY FOR CHILDREN
Children are wonderful subjects for hypnosis. Research shows they are extremely receptive and respond better than adults. Children's vivid imaginations and ability to play creatively (pretend and make believe games) are the very tools the hypnotherapist utilizes in working with children. When children are playing or daydreaming, they are already in a state of hypnosis.

HOW IT WORKS
The hypnotherapist and the child work together as a team tapping into the child's imagination during a session to come up with a solution for their specific problem. Once in hypnosis, suggestions are made to the child (such as recalling times of feeling happy and well in a child with chronic pain) in order for the child's subconscious to come up with the solution for what is needed to produce the desired change.

BENEFITS
Learning how to problem-solve using hypnosis is empowering for the child. They become adept very easily once they learn self-hypnosis. Children transfer this fun new tool naturally and easily to solve other problems they face as they mature. Treatment is usually brief and effective.
