Hypnosis for children and teenagers
Gentle and effective help
Is your child or teenager going through a difficult time? Stress, anxiety, school difficulties, or even challenges like phobias or sleep issues… As parents, it’s natural to seek the best solutions for their well-being. Did you know that hypnosis is a wonderfully suitable and highly effective approach for young minds?
What is Hypnosis for them?
Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis for children and teenagers is far from stage hypnosis. It’s a natural state of focus and imagination. Children are especially receptive to it because they are naturally creative and love to play. Think of the times when your child is absorbed in a video game, a story, or a drawing – it’s a bit like that.
In sessions, the hypnotherapist uses stories, games, metaphors, and visualizations adapted to their age. It’s a playful exploration of their inner world to find their own solutions.
When can Hypnosis help young people?
Hypnosis offers valuable support for many situations faced by children and teens:
• Emotion management: Stress, anxiety, anger outbursts, excessive shyness.
• Self-confidence: Low self-esteem, fears, academic or social blocks.
• Academic difficulties: Lack of focus, school phobia, exam stress.
• Sleep disorders: Trouble falling asleep, nightmares, nighttime awakenings.
• Specific phobias: Fear of animals, the dark, school, food-related phobias.
• Habits and behaviors: Bedwetting, tics, pain management (stomach aches, headaches).
• Life events: Separation, bereavement, major changes.
Concrete and lasting benefits
The approach is gentle, respectful, and helps the child or teen develop their own inner resources. Rather than simply “enduring” a problem, they learn to become active participants in their change.
Sessions help to:
• Develop autonomy and resilience.
• Better understand and manage their emotions.
• Regain balance and daily well-being.
• Strengthen confidence in their abilities.
As parents, you’ll be involved in the process, playing a role of support and encouragement, while respecting your child’s space.
Give them the keys to their personal growth
If your child needs a little help navigating a challenge, hypnosis can be an effective and caring path. It’s a way to give them tools to grow peacefully and tap into their own strengths.
