Coping with Divorce Hypnotherapy could help your child.

 

I could not begin to count how  many adult clients I see whose problems began when their parents divorced. It really doesn’t matter how long ago the event was or how old the client may be, if the divorce was messy and destructive the child suffered.

I have worked not only in the North East of England but also many other countries around the world. In every country I have seen children whose parents have divorced or who are going through a divorce. I can help these children to cope with the stress and misplaced guilt that they often experience .

Children need to feel from their parents a sense of security and safety. Children don’t need to know their parents’ every woe and trouble or how angry and upset they are, how much they hate the other parent.  Through the natural course of development children will come to know their parents as adults, as human beings. They don’t need it in their early lives as a Psychologist I can tell you it is extremely harmful.

Witnessing a parent in distress can destroy your child

 

Unfortunately it’s rarely possible for parents to divorce without some anger and stress becoming clear and obvious to children. However, many of the children have seen have endured weeks, months, even years of fights, crying, anger and more.

When children are trying to cope with strong emotions of their own it doesn’t help Seeing their parents feeling negative emotions this only serves to scare and upset them even more. Unfortunately, the child will often put their own feelings to one side so that they can become their parent’s carer. It should never be the role of the child to have to help the parents through the emotional traumas of divorce.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Using Hypnotherapy I help the child  to cope with strong emotions, to be able to manage them more calmly and to see the divorce as not their fault and to see the positive outcomes.
