What is the protocol of hypnosis with children and teens?

I will develop a plan for the child or young person, depending on their personal issues. Initially, I need the parent or caregiver to be present for the first session while we deal with consent and talk about goals. For the next sessions the child or young person will decide if they prefer their parent to be present in the sessions or not. However, children prefer parents to stay as that gives them a sense of calm and safe.

Some other areas that may be explored before the hypnotherapy session begins including:

• Identifying what triggers episodes of the presenting issue.

• Clearly observing all the physical and emotional symptoms that accompany the problem state, then, listening to the child goals, values and inspirations and create a plan for it.

• Voice recordings sessions will be provide after the second session so, the child and parent can practice before bed or when it is needed.

It will help to create a sense of grounding with nature and a sense of belonging, it will also help to raise the child consciousness and be in the present moment rather than dwelling on the past of future.
