A self help hypnotherapy recording for children aged about 8-15 years who are frightened of going to the dentist. Gentle & relaxing, it helps them feel more calm and confident both before and during the visit. For maximum benefit, let them listen to the recording, preferably daily, for about three weeks beforehand

Play the recording at bedtime

They can relax and drift off to sleep at the end. If you find that they fall asleep more or less immediately, let them listen at a quiet time earlier on before bedtime instead, or as well as, when they go to bed. 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

Children relax comfortably and deeply, imagining breathing in calm and breathing out unwanted scary thoughts and feelings. They imagine going into their inner master control room to find the controls that regulate their emotions. They adjust the controls to maximum calm and maximum confidence and then receive powerful suggestions for taking charge of their feelings before and during dental appointments. They also receive suggestions for forgetting or ignoring old anxieties so these don’t bother them at all. At that point they visualize themselves looking and feeling calm and confident both on the way to and during the appointment.  They see themselves surprising and delighting the dentist, their families and themselves with their new found abilities.

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.
