A self help hypnotherapy recording for children aged about 8 years + even adults who suffer from either vocal or motor tics. Gentle & relaxing, it helps them release a build up of tension and feel calmer and may help the listener become able to 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 and relaxed mind set.

 Play the recording at bedtime

Bedtime listening allows deep relaxation and then drifting off to sleep at the end. However, if falling asleep happens more or less immediately, choose to listen at a quiet time earlier on, before or as well as, at bedtime. In the case of children, the recording should be in addition to, rather than instead of, any usual bedtime rituals or stories so that they don’t feel deprived in any way.

Imaginative framework

Listeners are encouraged to relax comfortably and deeply and use their breathing to let go of tension and breathe in a sense of calm. In a relaxed day – dreamy state it is easier to engage the power of the mind and get the mind and body to work in harmony using imagery and visualization. In this case the imagery takes the form of finding the control centre in the mind and adjusting or switching off unwanted sounds or movements. They are then asked to visualize themselves in their everyday life, calm and relaxed with fewer or no disruptions from the tics. They are encouraged to release any associated tension or perhaps even choose to allow the tics to occur at suitable times and places.

 Successful approach

This kind of approach is completely natural and safe. 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 CD contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem. The language and topics used are carefully crafted to appeal to the interests of this particular age group. NB Some children may seem more or less mature than their chronological age.
