When parents bring their children to my therapy room, there has often been a problem going on for a long time. Whether it’s…
😔 anxiety (in its many forms)
😔 challenges around school
😔 low mood and lack of motivation
😔 or other
Things often get to a tipping point where parents decide it’s the right time to seek help.
And when a problem has existed for a long time, it is very common that it has become the focus of most conversations at home for a long time too. A great deal of time is often spent thinking about the problem – and quite rightly so – since our brains are hard-wired to focus on our problems and challenges in order to feel safer and more in control. Parents and children often get to a place where they can’t imagine things getting better. And this mindset causes a great deal of stress and frustration. Often, many things may have been tried before and the problem feels like it is getting bigger and bigger.
😃 But what if we spun our problems on their head and rather than thinking about the problem, we focused on the good moments instead? There is a well-known quote: “You get what you focus on, so focus on what you want” (Steve Mehr)
.
😃 And herein lies the beauty of our approach as Solution Focused Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists – neuroscience has taught us that the more we focus on solutions, the more we are able change our habits of thinking, and therefore our behaviour.
😃 And this is also true for children too.
