Addressing concerns

Sometimes as parents we notice changes in our Teens as they grow up from being our little cherubs. They get trapped either as a child in an adult’s body, or an adult in a child’s body - often swinging from one to the other as puberty kicks in. We give reasons and excuses and sometimes miss the changes that are rooted in negative life experiences. Changing these back is easiest achieved before problems are practiced and repeated and become embedded as patterns.

Remember, they are often powerless to control certain aspects of their lives such as parents moving or divorcing. Things that as adults we take for granted such as what we say, eat or do and when. 

Research implies that chronic stress and various illnesses that accompany it, are directly related to how much control an individual has, or feels they have, over their day to day situation. It’s also worth noting, that when a child or Teen is ‘told’ to do something, they perceive this as a threat and it can cause stress and anxiety in them and often aggression follows. 

With solution focused hypnotherapy their concerns may be addressed without them having to divulge what worries them. They can attend one of the group sessions and feel that they are not alone in their worries. Although if they have a particular issue, then may be a 1:1 session would suit them better. They may or may not tell me exactly what is worrying them but after the first session I can keep them focused on the positives and the future.

Should they divulge anything of concern then I will share this with you or the appropriate authority but otherwise, the sessions are highly confidential.
