Hypnotherapy for teens’ anxiety

My dd has very bad anxiety to the point that she cannot settle in school because of restlessness. She s already taking med but we believe that that can also be one of the side effects from the med. Just wondered if anyone has tried hypnotherapy for their anxious dc with success.

I dont have any answers but im following in case someone else does!

Yes, but focussing on a specific cause rather than anxiety generally.

In my dc case it fixed a phobia of dogs and that massively improved other areas of their anxiety and life generally.

A Later follow up sorted a needle phobia within just 2 sessions as dc had learned self help techniques

I'm a huge fan! But in our case, 'anxiety' needed to be broken down into manageable parts.

Flowers @happymoment. I hope your dd gets the help she needs.

How did you choose the hypnotherapist? Was it personal recommendations?

Yes

I didn't have to ask very widely before finding friends whose teens have mental health problems:(

Sadly I can understand that

Thanks for your responses. That’s the hard one there are so many hypnotherapists around how to choose?! I have asked around but no one I know has any personal experience.
