Children are undergoing hypnosis to cope with stress

Hypnosis to Cope with Exams and Test Stress

Children are undergoing hypnosis to cope with the stress of NAPLAN tests.

Courier Mail News

DESPERATE parents are taking children to hypnotists to wipe out NAPLAN stress.

“Children are making themselves physically ill with worry over these tests and I have found I can make a big difference in bringing peace to their young lives,” said the Gold Coast’s Wayne Donnelly, who calls himself a hypnotist rather than a hypnotherapist.

Using techniques once reserved for stage shows, Mr Donnelly works with children using neuro linguistic programming (NLP).

“At first I thought there may be other underlying fears and didn’t understand that a school test could cause such anxiety,” he said. “But that’s exactly what it has been doing – these children are making themselves physically sick over whether they pass or fail NAPLAN.”

He worked previously as an ­accountant and business coach but reinvented himself after the GFC.

Tanya Targett said her daughter Olivia, 9, started worrying about NAPLAN in Grade 2.

“As soon as we got through the Grade 3 testing, she started stressing about the Grade 5 test. It was constant. This damn thing was constantly on her mind, almost in a sense stealing her childhood and the stress was manifesting physically, with tummy pains and tears – she just didn’t want to go to school,” Ms Targett, 39, said.

Despite her fears, the nine-year-old excelled in the Grade 3 tests.

“We had discussed the test issues with the GP and child psychologist but Olivia kept sinking back into the anxiety. I had heard about hypnotism and was desperate for a solution. It was instant success. From that one $160 session, she transformed back into a happy, healthy child and has not looked back,” she said.

“There was nothing weird about the session and I was there with her. It was not a hypnotic trance but like a very laid-back conversation between them.

“He changed the meaning of NAPLAN in her mind and linked the word to the music from her favourite My Little Pony show. She tells me that is what she hears now every time the dreaded word NAPLAN comes up and there is no bad reaction.”

Brisbane child psychologist Judith Locke believes the pressures on children about NAPLAN tests are causing problems for parents.

Hypnosis-learning-study-skills-training-Cork-Ireland-17“There is a ridiculous pressure put on schools and students about NAPLAN and it has not been at all beneficial. I will say the student who needs hypnotherapy about such a test, I would suspect, has issues to do with worry and anxiety that need to be addressed with the aid of a clinical psychologist using proven treatments and working with the whole family,” she said.

DEPRESSION, ANXIETY PLAGUE TEENAGE GIRLS

INCREASING numbers of teenage girls are turning up at the Mater Children’s Hospital in Brisbane with depression and anxiety, mirroring a worldwide trend.

Child and adolescent psychiatrist William Bor said studies indicated teenage girls were experiencing significantly higher rates of depression and anxiety this century compared to the latter part of the 1900s.

“More young women are presenting to the Mater Children’s casualty department and that’s increased over five years,” Dr Bor said. “Typically, it’s 14-year-old girls who have experience of depression and … stress.”

While the causes are not clear, he said more stress in schools was a contributing factor.

“At the Mater, the referrals vary depending on the time of the school year. It’s quiet in school holidays,”

Dr Bor said. “It’s worst during the school term, particularly at exam times. Kids are facing more pressure to complete Year 12. There’s limited capacity to get good jobs if they leave school early.”

As Queensland Year 12s prepare to sit the core skills test next month, Dr Bor called for more programs in schools to help instil resilience in students and to educate them about identifying depressive feelings.

Hypnotizing The Pain Away

This item on the use of hypnosis hypnotherapy for pain management appeared recently on CBS New York. The following is the video and article:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — People have turned to hypnosis for help with everything from losing weight to quitting smoking.

Now, as CBS 2’s Maurice DuBois reported, hypnosis may also help relieve pain, including severe headaches and migraines.

“I expected abracadabra,” said Hedi White, a migraine sufferer.

But White said hypnosis is no trick, especially when it came to relieving her pain.

“It has really helped me,” she said.

White said she has tried just about every available treatment, but it’s through hypnosis that she learned to get control of her headaches at the onset, before they debilitate her.

“Do I experience the start of headaches? Yes.” she said. “Am I able to head them off? Yes.”

And she’s not alone.

“Hypnosis has helped many people,” said hypnotist Lisa Ludovici.

“In one session, I will teach them how powerful their mind is and how to lower their experience of pain,” she said.

Ludovici said hypnosis uses a guided relaxation and intense concentration to help a person’s attention become so focused that anything else that might be going on — including severe pain — is temporarily blocked out or ignored.

“The subconscious is open to positive suggestion and direction,” Ludovici said.

Dr. Dara Jamieson, director of the Headache Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, said studies show hypnosis can be beneficial in managing headaches, but it’s not a proven cure.

“I think hypnosis does play a role for some patients in managing episodic migraine,” she said.

“If an individual realizes that they are beginning to have a migraine headache, then self-hypnosis, as well as other types of relaxation and calming behaviors, can be used to try and abort the pain, as well as lessen the impact of accompanying symptoms,” Jamieson added.

The National Institute of Health reviewed several studies on hypnosis, concluding that it’s effective with some chronic pain, including tension headaches.

“I say to the skeptics, ‘What do you have to lose?’” White said. “It’s definitely a tool that I found very helpful.”

Hypnosis pain control

Before considering hypnosis pain control or hypnosis pain management please note:

A hypnotist hypnotherapist may not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. Before beginning hypnosis or hypnotherapy, clients who are currently receiving any form of medical treatment and are taking prescribed medication, must obtain a written referral or acknowledgement from their primary care giver. Clients will be informed immediately if another professional or an alternative means of reaching their objectives would serve them better.

Martin Kiely Hypnosis Centre Cork will provide you with professional specialized hypnosis pain control or pain management services. Martin will teach you simple, effective and easy to use self-hypnosis exercises that many clients have successfully used to take back control over this area of their life.

How Sports Hypnosis Can Reduce Performance Blunders

How to apply sports hypnosis.

If you want to determine if sports hypnosis can help you become a better player at the sport you love, you can start by sending simple subliminal messages to your subconscious. Here are some examples of messages that can be used to replace the negative thoughts about sports in your head:

  • I believe in myself and my abilities.
  • I persist and I succeed.
  • I can handle challenges.
  • I can achieve what I put my mind to.
  • I am in control of my thoughts.
  • I am excellent at (your sport).
  • I express my unique talent, skill and ability

Sports hypnosis can help in giving athletes constant encouragement and affirmation. With the self-hypnosis process, coaches can help eliminate self-defeating ideas like “I will never be good enough” or “I always suck at this part.” When the team experiences sidetracks, like thrashing defeats or training equipment failure, hypnosis can help keep everyone motivated. In a way, sports hypnosis is a tool for “psyching” an athlete towards success.

How does sports hypnosis work?

In sports hypnosis, your mind is more open and receptive to positive messages and images about sports, confidence, victory, and success. Once your subconscious is focused on these concepts, it then directs your body to act and move towards those goals. So even if you don’t push your body too hard, you will find that you have an innate and unlimited supply of energy and will to perform your best.

There are also many other aspects of sports hypnosis other than developing a positive winning attitude. Hypnosis can also effectively remove any barriers or limitations to your success in sports. Through hypnosis, you can programme your mind to stay cool and calm even under a lot of performance related pressure.

What is sports hypnosis?

Sports hypnosis is the process of training the mind to work with your body and make sports an easy feat. Although often spoken about in harsh tones, sports hypnosis is said to be widely used in the field of sports.

This is why dream athletic teams have a sport mental coach on board. These are the professionals who ensure that athletes are focused, motivated and emotionally ready to take on the physical abuse typical of many contact sports. Among the techniques in a sport mental coaches arsenal is sports hypnosis.

Sports hypnosis can help athletes manage pain and injury.

Pain and injury are sadly always a possibility, even among the most careful of athletes. In some sports, like boxing or mixed martial arts, pain may even be inevitable. Hypnosis can assist athletes in managing hurts, aches and knocks.

Athletes use hypnosis when recovering from physical ailments they may experience in the course of their game or their training. It is also often used as part of sports mental coaching to help injured athletes recover from their injuries and get back in the game. Usually, aside from the physical injury, athletes are bombarded with several negative emotions in reaction to the experience. This often affects their entire personalities and may even affect them even after they’re recovered.
