Children with breathing problems such as asthma and cystic fibrosis could benefit from hypnosis that can alleviate discomfort during procedures, and calm symptoms that have emotional components associated with respiratory disease. Hypnosis, combined with regular medical treatment could help children with habitual cough that may experience feelings of shortness of breath or other uncomfortable sensations that could be emotional in origin.

In a paper published in Pediatric Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, Ran D. Anbar, MD, Professor of Pediatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University, in Syracuse, NY suggests that hypnosis should be considered for children whose respiratory symptoms are brought about as the result of a mind-body component. Children with asthma who hyperventilate, breathe noisily, cough disruptively, or otherwise have emotionally triggered respiratory symptoms could be calmed with hypnosis.

Coughing out of habit or vocal cord dysfunction that produces a high pitched noise with breathing but can have psychological roots, found to be absent during sleep might be indicative that hypnosis can relieve symptoms of asthma of breathing difficulty triggered by emotions.

“Dr. Anbar has added hypnosis to our therapeutic toolbox. When breathing problems have a large mind-body component, resolution with hypnosis can dramatically reduce the need for expensive testing and medications,” says Harold Farber, MD, MSPH, Editor of Pediatric Asthma, Allergy Immunology, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Section of Pulmonology, at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.

Hypnosis for children with asthma or other breathing disorders should always be performed by a medical professional warns Anbar. Only individuals with special training in hypnosis therapy should be considered to help alleviate respiratory symptoms of asthma in children triggered by emotions.

Hypnosis could produce physiologic that alleviate symptoms related to asthma and respiratory problems that include chest pain, or feelings that something is “stuck” in the throat, and hperventilation. The author suggests that hypnosis could be used before expensive testing for otherwise unexplained feelings of difficulty breathing in children by helping teach breathing techniques that could alleviate symptoms and produce physiologic changes related to emotional distress associated with asthma or cystic fibrosis.

Children tend to be better candidates for hypnosis than adults. The reasons are children tend to respond to suggestions better then adults because children are in touch with their imaginations. Think back to a time when you were a child and how easy it was to imagine or daydream. For a child everything is possible, all he has to do is to pretend that he is a millionaire, a truck driver, a police officer or a doctor. He can even imagine himself flying like Peter Pan.

* Children tend to be better candidates for hypnosis than adults. The reasons are children tend to respond to suggestions better then adults because children are in touch with their imaginations. Think back to a time when you were a child and how easy it was to imagine or daydream. For a child everything is possible, all he has to do is to pretend that he is a millionaire, a truck driver, a police officer or a doctor. He can even imagine himself flying like Peter Pan.

Children can be hypnotized as early age of three, In my practice I have learned that children have no worries like adults do. For example: An adult may feel or think that a hypnotherapist will control them or make them tell their deepest secrets while in hypnosis.

Children do like the idea that they can “Stop the Bad Things Happening to them” such as seeing monsters, wetting their bed, hearing voices, sounds, or being controlled by bullies and the list goes on.

A hypnotherapist can help the child with the process of resolving problems such as pain, anxiety, bed wetting, asthma, cancer, fear, phobia, rape, anger, and much more.

This is how a child can be hypnotized! By having the child focus on one point or a spot until their eyes start blinking and begin to feel heavy to a point when the child eyes become sleepy! This is when the child enters into a trance state, this is when the hypnotherapist begins to tell the child some beautiful story relating to the issues a child is facing.

Hypnotherapy is different from one child to another, and it must be followed with a doctor referral in most cases, with doctor referral at least six sessions will be recommended unless the child is not facing the same issues any longer.

A Child can attend four to eight sessions with a qualified hypnotherapist, and during the session he could learn all about seif hypnosis and how to apply the tools to hypnotize himself. In some cases only one or two sessions are needed to solve the issue the child is facing, but no hypnotherapist can predict or tell the parents how many sessions their child will need.

Part of the therapy is to have the parent work with the hypnotherapist as a team. I also ask the child’s parent to be in the same room during the sessions depending on the situation and the child’s age. Before any therapy begins, written consent is needed, especially if the parent is facing custody issues or the child is under the age of 18.

This is how hypnosis can help a child with issues such as: Enuresis - Bed-wetting, Attention deficit disorder (ADD), and Nightmares.

Many doctors prescribe medicine for children who have a bed-wetting problem or ADD. But now more physicians are turning to hypnosis, because it has some very effective results without the negative side effects. The reason hypnosis work with children is because they are playful and active during the role playing of feeling better.

Asthma & Allergies: When children feel their throats constricting, they begin feeling anxious by starting to breathe heavily with their biggest fear of “I Cannot Breath” when fighting for Oxygen as a fresh air, In this case with hypnosis I teach the child to relax when the attacks occur and I calm him/her down by taking him/her to a safe place using the children’s imagination.

* Each child is different, so it is very important to build a report before the therapist takes the child to a safe place, since what can be a safe place for one child cannot be safe place for another child.

Pain: Hypnosis is bypassing the critical Mind of the conscious mind in order to achieve a selective thinking within the subconscious mind, which it is effective by alleviating the pain for children. Children who are undergoing cancer treatments can use hypnosis to take their mind to a safer place, far a way from the pain and that can be done when the child can only access his subconscious mind. This is where the child creates an image that forces him to concentrate and focus on something else instead of his pain, such as using the children’s favorite game to destroy the disease. When a child’s is using his imagination for optimal recovery making their white blood cell stronger then the cancer cell, it’s all about programming the subconscious mind so it can work together with the conscious mind in order to create the positive changes by planting more and more positive suggestions to achieve hopes, dreams, wishes, goals and desire.

The good news is that hypnosis is getting more and more recognized by doctors and many insurance’s that will soon start covering it, because hypnosis is a drug free, risk free and no side effects.

Note: for some children it is harder to let go, so the therapy may take longer, parents aren’t involved in the actual hypnotherapy session.

Andrew Koenig’s Body was found in Vancouver Park on Thursday February 25Th, 2010… Why? What happened? before I even talk about this painful subject, I want to share my condolence to the family’s who their love ones are trapped in this sad feelings, Andrew Koeings was A Growing Pain Star, and he was fighting depression, and he took his life because coping with depression was a hard work.

Depression is not a joke and not everyone understands depression, not if you haven’t been there. It is a very scary place to be at and it is very important not to ignore it, for some people it start with fighting anxiety and before you you know it the symptoms worsen and the person becomes clinically depressed.

Depression is a trigger from bad eventsthat occur to the person, they are usually very painful, it is an emotional pain and for some people even both, emotional and physical pain.

Depression Is an Illness and must be taken care of or it will be too late, and then the pain is even more to the families, especially if the depressed person commits suicide.

Please read this few times, and remember you are not alone and you don’t have to think that it is the end of the world, it’s really not, help is around, and all you have to do is ask for help! If you or anyone you know is suffering from depression, there is help. Please call The National Suicide Hotlinehttp://suicidehotlines.comat 1-800-SUICIDE.

Trust me suicide is not the solution and not everyone who’s depressed wants to die, they may say it, but they don’t mean it, so when you think of taking your life as a solution, pinch yourself, scream, cry out laud and call someone, there are so many help lines to help you, just google it, or call your family, you don’t get along with your family, that’s fine, talk to strangers, take a walk and tell yourself, I am not depressed, I am having a hard time, don’t own your depression, with your psychologist you do what they advice you to do, but until then tell yourself, their is a higher power and angels and good people who are here in this universe to rescue me, believe it, and still ask for help.

Don’t take your depression inward, taking it silently is not going to brighten your life, talking about it will.

Take your issues in hand, “Depression is not a joke” please take it seriously and talk to someone, and the good news is, with hypnosis and your psychologist you can fight depression in a very short time, why hypnosis and Psychologist? Because psychologist helps you to understand the problem, and if needed, your doctor will prescribe you antidepressant until your brain chemicals are in balance. And Hypnosis does the other part of the subconscious work; a good trained hypnotherapist will give you the right suggestions to heal from pain, anger, guilt, resentment and much more.

I can say that my clients all were able to survive depression in a short time combining their healing with their psychologist or psychologist.

Please remember not every hypnotherapist is trained or understands depression, therefore you must make sure that your well being comes first, and when you work with a professional hypnotherapist, a doctor referral is a must for all medical and mental conditions.

I Care, since depression needs much more then just self Hypnosis, It needs close attention from a trained hypnotherapist and a psychologist.

Many Chinese under the spell of hypnotism

Soothing music creates a dreamy atmosphere in the room, while the hypnotist murmurs to his patient, “Calm down, relax and then wake up” in a slow but authoritative tone. The patient has been suffering insomnia. Now, he opens his eyes, seemly relieved of a heavy load in the wake of a hypnotic trance.

This use of hypnosis as a medical cure is being advertised by a growing number of clinics in China, claiming that a deep trance can help people get better sleep, ease stress, relieve pain, induce people to stop smoking or even lose weight.

On the online forum tieba. baidu.com, over 50 Web users posted their contacts saying they can provide hypnosis therapy.

The purported benefits of hypnotism have given birth to a large number of believers who want to become professional hypnotists or simply try their hand at putting people into a deep sleep.

Recently, experts have warned that possible psychological damage could be inflicted by unlicensed clinics, illegal training classes and amateur hypnotists in China’s booming market for hypnotic therapy.

“As far as I know, there are only two qualified hypnotists in China,” said Wu Rengang, a psychology professor at Peking University and a psychiatrist at the No. 2 Hospital of Beijing.

Wu told the Global Times that it is impossible to master the skills of hypnotism needed to treat patients simply by attending a weeklong training course.

“Maybe you can learn how to hypnotize someone within a week, but to become a professional hypnotist requires the skills needed to provide proper psychological guidance after hypnosis,” Wu said.

She warned that those who want to try the effects of hypnosis at a training class should never attempt to hypnotize someone else because it might worsen their mental problems.

In Jilin Province, a 28-year-old cook, Wang Zhilong, saw hypnotic treatment for the first time on a TV talk show program. Since then, he has been deeply attracted to hypnotism, but also worries about professionalism in the market.

“I feel so absorbed by hypnosis. It’s amazing,” Wang told the Global Times. “I want to master it, but I’m afraid there are too many fraudulent training institutions right now.”

A Shanghai-based hypnosis training center that boasts of being a pioneer in the field told a Global Times reporter that even a junior high-school graduate could master the skills of a professional hypnotist by attending the center’s eight-day training program.

“The nation’s famous hypnotists will lecture at the courses, using hands-on teaching methods. We guarantee that you will master all skills needed to conduct hypnosis, exactly like what our teacher mastered,” said an anonymous female assistant at the training center.

She repeatedly suggested that a reporter watch teaching videos on the center’s website. One video shows a man under hypnosis, fast asleep but performing acrobatic moves on verbal commands of the hypnotist, who is surrounded by a group of students.

The tuition fee for the weeklong program is 12,800 yuan ($1,875) according to the assistant, a fee equal to the average tuition cost of four semesters at an accredited university offering psychology courses.

Similar training centers and seminars can be found in cities like Beijing, Xi’an, Zhengzhou and Guangzhou, all claiming that their teachers are hypnotists with reputations.

Thus far, there are no existing laws or regulations to guide the establishment of hypnosis training programs.
