Education Hypnosis: Make this the Best School Year Ever
A three session program for students from grade to graduate school and even adult learners who are still learning. Call 401-374-1890 to start.
Education and test-taking are among the least known uses of hypnosis.
Yet each year I see people who figure out that if hypnosis can be used for habit change, pain management and work situations maybe it has a place in coping with the real challenges children and adult learners face each year in school and handling employment, civil service and professional learning and test taking.
Here are a few of the areas I typically work in with students from age 10 upwards:
Test Anxiety
Test anxiety can knock a student down one or more letter grades. While most of my work has been with people taking career tests like civil service exams (police and fire departments typically), and Law Boards, I have also helped students from grade school through college improve their test results by decreasing their anxiety. This includes preparation for SATs, LSAT, GREs, ETC.
Study Skills
Focus, concentration and comprehension are critical at any level. If you don’t grasp the material in the first place, it is not going to show up on test day. With hypnosis a student can train him or herself to hold onto what they are exposed to like a sponge.
Organization
This seems simple (to those who are naturally organized), but it can be a downfall for any student. It involves hypnotically establishing routines for study.
Confidence
This can include building up a student’s general confidence, knocking out negative self-talk. But it can also apply to a student who has a fear around a specific subject like math.
Social skills
School can literally seem like hell for a student with social fears. Hypnosis can help them cope by turning their focus from quitting negative self-chatter.
So, here is my suggestion as a package. Consider 3 sessions for you or your student.
Session One
Ideally start in September, but Now is Fine Too
.I will explain hypnosis (answer any questions and do some amazing demonstrations of “hypnotizability”)
.Surface any anxiety the student has about the coming year
.Distinguish what a great school year will be like
.Perform hypnosis to help the student create that with post hypnotic suggestions
.The student will receive a CD to listen to ideally daily
Session Two
September/October Ideally or Mid-semester
.Access progress and identify barriers
.Reconnect with the image from session one of making this the best year ever
.Discuss study skills and hypnosis model of focus
.Perform hypnosis as appropriate with post hypnotic suggestions
.The student will receive a CD to listen to as needed
Session Three
Before mid-terms or finals
.Similar to session two accessing progress and removing or reducing barriers
.Reducing test anxiety preparing for mid-terms
.The student will receive a CD to listen to as needed
