NLP Behavioral Changework for Children
Fear of needles (injections/shots/blood tests)
Often people who suffer from fear of needles wonder if there is really anything that could be done to cure this fear. The truth is most individuals do not particularly like the idea of having a needle put into them. So it makes sense that a person would be skeptical about whether their needle phobia is something that can actually be treated. NLP and Hypnotherapy can be very helpful to cure…
Fear of seeing blood / blood phobia
The fear of seeing blood is usually caused by a particular past traumatic event.Many people with this phobia have strong negative reactions and some clients faint by the sight of blood. The NLP treatment for blood phobia is the same as with most other phobias. We work through the type of imagery the client makes in their mind as well as what they say to themselves internally when they see…
Fear of the Dark
One does not need to analyze this fear too much in order to understand that a person who has a fear of the dark operates this fear purely by using their imagination. Whether it is by creating a certain scary image and the different sounds that may be around them, the point the individual starts feeling panicky will often come when they say specific phrases to themselves. These phrases such as…
Fear of burglars
In my NLP practice in Jerusalem and in Beit Shemesh I have seen a number of children who have an intense fear of burglars / robbers. This fear will often effect the child’s sleeping patterns and creates a sense of insecurity for the child. I have found that many parents use different strategies, some work better and some do not work at all. For example: Telling a child who…
Fear of being kidnapped
The fear of being kidnapped seems to be quite common especially with children, and for a child this can give them a real sense of insecurity. I have worked with many children with a fear of being kidnapped in my clinical practice in Beit Shemesh, in Jerusalem as well as over Skype and phone. Many of these children had a very difficult time with going to sleep and of course this…
How to get over perfectionism
Perfectionism can be a serious issue for people who desire to really succeed. People who are constantly seeking to be perfect find it difficult to be happy and fun loving since they are constantly focused on not failing and not looking bad. People who direct their lives trying to be perfect will often feel depressed and may suffer from different emotional or psychological symptoms. Among…
Fear of Dogs
I have seen a number of clients who have had a fear of dogs. One particular client would hardly walk out in the street, let alone take a walk in a park, for a fear that there might be a dog lurking out there. Sadly, many people go around with these kinds of fears for many years not knowing that it can be treated effectively, often within a very short amount of time. The key to treating this…
Fear of tests
Having a certain amount of anxiety feelings because of an upcoming test could help a person with being more motivated to study well. On the other hand if a person has panic like symptoms, such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words, dry mouth and shaking, such physical and emotional reactions are very debilitating…
Social Anxiety in Children
When ten-year-old Hannah* moved with her mother to a different town, she started to dread school. Her worries about her new school kept her awake at night. She stopped eating; she began pretending to be sick so she could stay home from school. It was obvious that something was awfully wrong. There are many people who live with some sort of social phobia, and for most of them, their fears started…
Concentration and Focus
A lot of people have asked me to assist them in being able to concentrate better. What I often tell people is that concentration is a state of mind that comes about as a response to a particular situation. Concentration itself is not a thing, the same way happiness is not a thing. For example, a parent or a teacher may claim that a particular child finds it difficult to concentrate. However,…
Feeling judged by others
People who have an intense discomfort of being around others for fear of being watched or judged in a negative way, will usually have a tough time making friends and will not have much of a social life. Otherwise known as social anxiety or phobia, this type of anxiety is often associated with physical symptoms such as blushing, profuse sweating, nausea and stomach related issues. Social…
Anger management for children
An anger issue often reveals itself when a child frequently goes into ‘a flying rage’ and doesn't seem to be able to control their behavioural response, whether physical or emotional. Many of the angry children I've worked with suffer from major self-image shortfalls. In many cases they do very well in their studies but are far less successful in their relationships with their friend…
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a broad term used to describe or define a learning disability that impairs a person from reading with fluency or accurate comprehension. Dyslexia is said to affect between 5 and 10 percent of the population. Based on my studies and practice of the Zobin reading methodology it is…
Children’s motivation
It is extremely tough for a parent to see that their child is consistently not motivated to get involved with activities. Children who are not motivated will find it difficult to stay with a task for a long period of time. They will be very dependent on an adult (parent or teacher etc.) to keep them on task. Such a child will also show negative emotions about having to do the task and will…
Help for children getting bullied
It is quite common for children to be teased by their siblings or friends every once in a while, but when a child is verbally or physically tormented on a daily basis it becomes an issue that should be addressed. Bullying can take place in and outside of school, and there have been many reports of bullying occurring through social networks on the internet as well. It is rare for children to…
