This is a self-help gentle hypnotherapy recording for young children from around five to nine years old who suffer from either vocal or motor tics, or both. It aims to help them: - Breathe in relaxing, happy colour - Breathe out any worries or sad feelings - See their brain's control room and find the remote control - Learn how to quieten unwanted sounds - Learn how to still unwanted movements - Build confidence and self esteem Gentle and relaxing, this audio book helps your child release a build-up of tension and feel calmer and may help them feel more in control of sounds and movements. Tics vary in severity; transient tics in young people very often disappear quickly and easily with use of the recording, while long standing chronic tics may take longer or, in some cases, not respond to the approach. Even in these cases however there is usually an improvement in feelings of a calm, relaxed and confident mind set. Research shows that when a person first acts out each positive step in their imagination, it dramatically increases the likelihood of their success in the real world. This recording contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self-esteem. The language and topics used are carefully crafted to appeal to listeners of all suitable ages. Lynda Hudson's gentle, well-modulated, English voice calms, re-assures and encourages. A clinical hypnotherapist and former teacher, Lynda has worked with many children and has helped them overcome numerous problems.
