About Scripts & Strategies In Hypnotherapy With Children

Product Description Clearly and enthusiastically presented, this book provides a step-by-step approach to incorporating hypnotherapeutic scripts and strategies for working with a wide spectrum of challenges faced by young people ages 6 to 16.The author's realistic perspective takes into account the variety of thinking styles represented by the population we call young people, emphasizing that chronological age does not always match a client's presentation. Completely contemporary, many of the scripts use metaphors that are especially meaningful in the world of young people, including computers, iPods, and Play Stations. Hypnotherapy is an effective and expedient approach for working with children in part because young people tend to be open to it. As the author points out, Children are accustomed to using their imagination they live in it on a daily basis. Thus, suggestions to visualize images or colors or to make characters bigger or smaller and so forth are easily accepted. By the same token, any of these carefully selected hypnotherapeutic scripts can be quickly adapted to the particular imagination and level of the young client. Throughout, possibilities and cautions are considered with respect to structuring sessions, determining when it is advisable to bring others into the treatment team, and choice of induction. Whether new to hypnotherapy or to working with this age group or perhaps looking for fresh ways to employ what you know 'Scripts & Strategies in Hypnotherapy with Children' will contribute something essential to helping children (and parents) cope with issues such as: Low self-esteem, behavior problems, exam stress, bedwetting, soiling, fear of the dark, bullying, weak organizational or study skills, and much more. Solution-focused and reality tested, this collection of inductions, accompanied by illuminating explanations, will empower any treatment plan. Review This book is a valuable resource for clinicians working hypnotically with children. It will assist anyone who has already achieved an advanced level of training in medicine, nursing, dentistry, or mental health with prior training in hypnosis to achieve greater confidence as they incorporate hypnotic skills and metaphors into their practice with children. Ms. Hudson s stories are delightfully imaginative; her language is permissive and she includes ego-strengthening in every script to foster self-esteem and self-efficacy.The book gives the clinician warm, caring, and developmentally appropriate strategies that help foster rapport and successful hypnotherapeutic interventions with children. The author has provided the hypnosis world with a wonderful resource for working with children. --Linda Thomson, PhD, MSN, CPNP , author of 'Harry the Hypno-Potamus' This rich volume captures the confident, positive, warm and imaginative spirit that embodies creative hypnosis with young people then distills it into an enjoyable and practical solution.
