Dyslexia and Hypnotherapy

hypnotherapy to treat dyslexia — Dyslexia by Xavier Nathan

Problems resulting from Dyslexia

Down through the years I have worked with many clients who have suffered from a range of problems as a result of having dyslexia or other learning difficulties.

I have helped people overcome:

Low self esteem and confidence
Difficulties with concentration, attention and memory
Phobias related to reading and writing in class
Examination anxiety
Organisation and time management

Childhood can cause all kinds of challenges, the world is such a big place and everything is so new! On top of that children are forced out of the safety of the home environment at such an early age to go to school it is no wonder so many suffer from anxiety and lack of self confidence. For those children with dyslexia or other learning difficulties, how they perceive the world during their formative school years affect them for the rest of their lives. For most children with dyslexia they are not diagnosed until they are at least seven years but of course many slip through the net completely. What in effect this means is that for the most impressionable years, children learn that they are not as good/as bright/ as clever as other children and this may be impressed on them throughout the whole of their school years. Bullying may also be an issue and needless to say all of this causes low self esteem, lack of confidence and in some cases behavioural problems.

Hypnotherapy can help

Hypnotherapy can help the child or adult to change those beliefs which are stored in the subconscious mind freeing the person to reach their full potential. People with dyslexia respond very well to hypnotherapy because we are dealing with the subconscious mind which is the most creative part of the brain. Most have excellent skills in visualisation which is a highly valued ability in successful hypnotherapy as we address the subconscious mind to change old belief patterns which create such negative self beliefs.

The Gift of Dyslexia

The list of people with dyslexia down through the ages is long and many on it revered! Those who have the gift of dyslexia may have been very different people and may not have achieved so much if they had not had dyslexia. It is time now to stop seeing this condition as a problem but instead a gift to be appreciated. I can, as a Hypnotherapist, show you how to learn to appreciate your gift and the person you truly are.
