For children who come from broken homes in Slough, hypnotherapy has proven to be an extremely effective tool. Hypnotherapy is effective for both psychological and also medical problems. Since stress affects people on all levels (emotional, physical and also psychological), hypnotherapy can work by de-stressing and relaxing its subject, in this case, children. Only when children are relaxed, can the cause of their mental stress be rooted out.

Research shows that the presences of both the parents are crucial for the development of children’s emotional and psychological growth. Those kids who have had both their parents, each playing significant roles in their lives, are more secure and sure of themselves, and also perform better in academics and generally in life as well. According to the Harvard University press, 1994 children from broken homes are twice as likely to drop out of high school and attempt suicide. Another shocking fact is that children living with both parents are 20 to 35% healthier physically as compared to children with single parents, and they are 50% more likely to develop health problems following a divorce.

No matter how bad divorces are for adults, they are almost always worse for children. The experience tears them between both the parents and leaves many doubts in their impressionable minds which often develop into insecurities later in their adult life. The confusions and inability to adapt to the new changes may express itself in various ways. Some children resort to old toys, some lapse in toilet training, some become aggressive, and once an adolescent, they become rebellious and indulge in various delinquent activities like drugs, sexual activities, getting into fights, have difficulty in studying or become depressed.

Divorce leaves deep imprints on the minds of children. Neither the child, nor their parents might notice them at once, but the trauma does affect them at some point or the other in their lives. That’s how hypnotherapy can help children. It removes their general negative feelings and their insecurities from the sub-conscious, leaving them free of negativity that had shackled them from within themselves. Hypnotherapy for children has been known to cure anxieties, phobias, depression or bad habits that may have come as a result of the emotional trauma they went through when their parents got divorced.

Hypnotherapy works by shadowing of the conscious mind by the sub-conscious and the voice of the hypnotist. The sub-conscious then helps to build a positive attitude while it suppresses the negative thoughts and fears of the conscious mind.

For children of all ages in Slough, there are numerous hypnotherapy experts easily available within a 60 mile radius. These clinics provide professional cognitive hypnotherapy practices, combined with NLP (neuro linguistic programming) techniques.

Unlike other conventional treatments which often involve psychiatric treatment along with therapy sessions, hypnotherapy has no side negative side effects. Apart from targeting the trauma of an incident and its negative influences on a child, it also brings positivity and change of attitude to their personalities to help them succeed in their lives.
