Hypnosis for Children & Teenagers

I have been blessed with an opportunity to help many children. I love working with children and young adults. - Irina Benoit.

It is always exciting to see how fast children are making positive changes within themselves that usually require so much more time and effort with adults.

As adults, the longer we live, the more we tend to focus on things we don’t like, worries, doubts, insecurities, fears...
The more we focus on what we don’t want, the more we expect it to happen… We simply create negative expectations and habits of thinking in negative way.

Teenagers & children have a great advantage: they aren't as dominated by rational questioning and concerns that adults have formed through their life experiences. Unlike adults, children's minds are open to new positive experiences, positive suggestions and solutions with a hunger and willingness to change.

This is because until approximately the age of seven, most children are in an alpha brain wave state, which is the same as the hypnotic state.
When it comes to Hypnosis, children & teenagers achieve amazing positive results due to their rich imagination, flexible and unbiased attitude towards life and willingness to accept the positive suggestions to get better.

The parent’s support is vital to achieving the expected results.

We welcome parents in the room for the initial interview and to gather information in order to determine how best to approach the young patient's problem. But to give the child a sense of privacy and space to express her/his own opinions one-on-one, we ask the parent to leave a room for the hypnosis session.

We also help children and teenagers with the following:

• Having trouble sleeping, experiencing frequent nightmares or sleep walking.
• A child or teenager beginning to lose things on a consistent basis, steal or have nervous headaches or stomachaches.
• Nervous habits like nails biting, lashes or hair pulling, thumb sucking.
• Common fears like being afraid of the dark, going to sleep, being alone.
• Teenagers & Children with anxiety, ADHD and seemengly lost focus.
• Having adjusted to a new school, making new friends, handling bullies.
• Self esteem & self confidence, athletic performance & public speaking
• * Help with other, more sensitive matters, is available as well.
