Hypnotherapy for anxiety

John

Hi guys not sure if this has been touched on before.

My son who has diagnosis of ASD & ADHD is due to start college in Aug/Sept and due to his anxiety he is refusing to go we're getting all the usual responses from him "I can't be bothered, there's no point in it, why do I need to go"

The better half and I we're wondering if hypnotherapy would would help him at all? Obviously in a lot of neuro-typical people it can be beneficial but will it have the same benefits for a neuro-diverse person??

We're really lost for ways to help him overcome the anxiety and this isn't the first time it's stopped him for doing things either he was supposed to have a brace on his teeth, he was fine with all the appointments leading up to to getting it fitted and on the day completely refused to leave the house full on emotional breakdown so that didn't happen. We used to do indoor climbing together for about 9 months. We had an instructor who was great at teaching SEN kids to climb and really got the best out of him but he got a new job back in April and since then my son has refused to continue climbing which is a real shame because he was really good at it.

Really hope someone can share any experiences with hypnotherapy and if it's helped or not. We're local to Gravesend and Dartford if anyone knows of any good local therapists.

Thanks in advance

  • Talking about problems is good, but taking action to make them disappear is even better.

    My advice? Find a Hypnosis practitioner trained in NLP or Time Line Therapy. Anxiety is the fear of the future, usually on a specific upcoming event. The Anxiety model can eliminate that in about 5 minutes. (The principles are similar to hypnosis)

    However, it all really depends on what the true presenting problem is. You mentioned that the anxiety overrides any progress you’ve made, but it may be useful to discover and let go of any limiting beliefs or negative emotions from the past that could potentially be holding you back and allowing the anxiety to resurface.

    Anxiety is like a bio-feedback marker letting you know to focus on what you want, rather than what you not want. Hypnosis has many great uses and I know it can work for you. It’s worked for many people. Know that all hypnosis is self hypnosis and unconscious change can happen in an instant.

    **Note: Before working with a professional hypnosis practitioner, they should first ask you to get a referral from your licensed therapist (if you are still working with them.) Generally, for legal reasons it is advisable on all parties. I’m not a lawyer, and this isn’t legal advice, so check with your lawyer if you have questions about that matter.

    If you play at 100%, you will always get 100% results. You can start later, but you can’t begin living the life that you won’t want right now. Can you?
