Hypnotherapy is not only for adults but children can also gain life changing results for hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can be adapted to suit an individual of any age. This adaptation of hypnotherapy must in fact be done as each patient's capacity to receive and understand is different. The actual therapy itself does not change however the way it is administered does. Children are obviously small, young people and as such they view the world and their surroundings in a very different way to fully grown adults. Their understanding and experiences are far more limited than adults therefore they need to be dealt with in a different manner.

Children are obviously at different stages of their lives compared to adults. Throughout their early years they are constantly seeking to learn and understand their experiences. In the later life when they reach adulthood, the ever present motivation to learn and grow can dwindle off so when dealing with different mindsets, hypnotherapy must be administered differently. You have probably heard many people describe children as 'sponges'. This description comes from children's inherent desire to learn and discover at every possible opportunity. This desire begins immediately from birth and grows/develops as the child gains in age. Their state of awareness and understanding is why hypnotherapy differs depending on the patient's age and capacity to receive new ideas. Hypnotherapy can only work successfully for children by presenting a change/idea in a manner that is comprehensive to them. A hypnotherapist needs to communicate with the child on an equal level without talking down or over the head of the patient. They need to get into the mind of the patient through approaching them in a way that they can understand and respond to. Because of the lack of experience of a younger patient, the therapist must work simply with, and not on the child. Even though children have experienced much less in their short life than adults that does not mean children cannot dramatically benefit from hypnotherapy. Indeed, all ages of people can benefit from its profound effect on one's life.
