Changing Children's Lives with Hypnosis: A Journey to the Center
Offers examples of using hypnosis with children to address physical and mental challenges.
Changing Children’s Lives with Hypnosis is a timely collection of patients’ healing experiences, the story of how these events changed one physician’s approach to medicine, and the takeaway information parents and practitioners should consider as they deal with medical and psychological challenges in their children’s and patients’ lives.
Every year millions of pediatric patients could benefit from hypnosis therapy to deal with and alleviate physical and psychological symptoms big and small. The benefits of hypnosis-facilitated therapy range from complete cures to small improvements. They extend beyond the physical and into the psychological and spiritual, building confidence, positivity and resilience. They include the empowerment of children with chronic health issues to feel more in control of their own minds, bodies and circumstances. They sometimes lead to the reduction or even elimination of medications. Hypnosis is painless, non-invasive, and cost-effective. It doesn’t preclude any other treatment, and drawbacks are virtually nonexistent.
In a world where the doctor’s primary role has become more and more one of a technician—pinpoint a problem, prescribe a solution, and move to the next patient—hypnosis brings connection and art back into the process. It relies on a relationship between practitioner and patient, encourages creativity and expression, and allows patients to take ownership of their experience with the support and encouragement of their doctors. Children deserve the opportunity to receive gentle, thoughtful, empowering, and effective treatment in whatever form it’s available. Hypnosis therapy offers all of those things, and it’s time for patients, parents, and medical practitioners to embrace it—even to demand it.
Through meaningful stories and expert explanation, this book takes readers through the process of hypnosis for children and its myriad benefits for overall wellness.

A must read for all parents during the pandemic!
As a physician and a parent of a child with paralyzing depression and anxiety, reading this gave me insight into a therapy I had not even considered. Dr. Anbar's patient vignettes are fascinating and inspiring. This book is full of practical advice for parents everywhere who are helping their children and teens navigate this stressful and frightening world with tools that foster self-reliance and self-love. Truly inspiring!

as a clinical hypnotherapist this is one of my top choices --- it really is viable for all age groups and is a less clinical / more engaging read that is still packed with techniques and ideas. highly recommend for anyone
