Hypnosis for Kids & Teens

Hypnosis in children and adolescents is very similar to what is experienced with adults except that children have a much greater responsiveness to suggestion. Hypnosis works so well with children because they have fewer imprints and less years of reinforcement in their minds. Hypnosis has proven extremely effective in treating a wide variety of children’s problems, including irrational fears, bed-wetting and behavior problems, to name a few.

Children aged 5 or older respond best to hypnosis. Most Children only need 3-4 sessions with improvement beginning from the very first session.

As in any intervention with children, it is important for parents to be present and informed. During sessions the parent is either relaxing nearby in the background or waiting outside the hypnosis office. Parents are encouraged to provide support and reinforcement for the child in between sessions.
