Dyslexia and Hypnotherapy

Problems resulting from Dyslexia

Down through the years I have worked with many clients who have suffered from a range of problems as a result of having dyslexia or other learning difficulties.

I have helped people overcome:

  • Low self esteem and confidence
  • Difficulties with concentration, attention and memory
  • Phobias related to reading and writing in class
  • Examination anxiety
  • Organisation and time management

Childhood can cause all kinds of challenges, the world is such a big place and everything is so new! On top of that children are forced out of the safety of the home environment at such an early age to go to school it is no wonder so many suffer from anxiety and lack of self confidence.  For those children with dyslexia or other learning difficulties, how they perceive the world during their formative school years affect them for the rest of their lives.  For most children with dyslexia they are not diagnosed until they are at least seven years but of course many slip through the net completely.  What in effect this means is that for the most impressionable years, children learn that they are not as good/as bright/ as clever as other children and this may be impressed on them throughout the whole of their school years. Bullying may also be an issue and needless to say all of this causes low self esteem, lack of confidence and in some cases behavioural problems.

Hypnotherapy can help

Hypnotherapy can help the child or adult to change those beliefs which are stored in the subconscious mind freeing the person to reach their full potential.  People with dyslexia respond very well to hypnotherapy because we are dealing with the subconscious mind which is the most creative part of the brain. Most have excellent skills in visualisation which is a highly valued ability in successful hypnotherapy as we address the subconscious mind to change old belief patterns which create such negative self beliefs.

The Gift of Dyslexia

The list of people with dyslexia down through the ages is long and many on it revered!  Those who have the gift of dyslexia may have been very different people and may not have achieved so much if they had not had dyslexia.  It is time now to stop seeing this condition as a problem but instead a gift to be appreciated.  I can, as a Hypnotherapist, show you how to learn to appreciate your gift and the person you truly are.

You attract what you feel

So many people of all ages, male and female, feel unattractive and lack confidence about their looks.  What they fail to realise is that this affects all areas of their lives. The truth is, how you feel about yourself comes across in all your communications, personal and public.  When you feel attractive you communicate this verbally and in your body language and everyone you come into contact with picks this up and they are attracted to YOU.  Unfortunately the opposite happens all too often and this leads to unhappiness and the inability to reach one’s full potential.

Brain washing

There is such a false sense of beauty out there that teenagers are bombarded by such images from morning to night. With such easy access to the internet photos and videos of their favorite models, actors and pop singers these images are in their faces twenty four seven!  Reality TV, too, has such a huge impact on these vulnerable kids with programmes such as America’s Next Top Model and X Factor to name but two. Being stick thin, plucked eyebrowless, dyed and covered in inches of foundation gives the message that this is how they should look, that this is how beauty is achieved.  Children are starving themselves to look like models who have died while still working! Ana Carolina Reston Macan and Isabelle Caro being two of the most famous models/actors who died from the pressures of trying to achieve so called physical perfection!!!.

The following  videos describe what our children often aspire to.

We are all born with natural self esteem

We are all born with confidence; we cry when we are hungry and when we need our nappies changed.  We are all born feeling happy with our bodies and our faces, we all have memories of those times we dressed up as children. How as little girls or little boys we looked into a mirror feeling so happy to be the princess we saw in our reflection or Superman with his flowing cape. So what went wrong? The casual frown on a parent’s face, the inappropriate remark about a physical feature or waist size or shape of teeth, name calling such as ‘Spotty or Four Eyes’ all send messages of lack of beauty deep into the subconscious minds of children.  Children take these ‘subtle’ messages on board where they are then planted like seeds in the subconscious and are there with them forever unless rooted out and replaced with images of self beauty and self love.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy lends itself very well to accessing the subconscious mind to the rooting out of negative thoughts and feelings you may have about your body. You are not your body, this is a suit you wear and you can choose to see and feel about this suit either positively or negatively.  The choice is ultimately yours and yours alone. We have all met people who walk into a room and fill that room with positivity and confidence … not all are beautiful in the classical sense but what they possess is much more worth aspiring to.  It is inner beauty which comes from loving yourself just the way you are.

Because you’re worth it!


I think that the advertising people behind the L’Oreal Products hit the nail on the head when they came up with the catch phrase ‘Because I’m worth it’.  They had cottoned on to the idea that most women put everybody else in the family before themselves when organising the family budget and this often means there is nothing left for them.

Down through the years I have had consultations with many, many women who have come with problems and symptoms which needed to be addressed only for them to forgo therapy for financial reasons.  The problems have ranged from depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, stress, relationship problems, insomnia, overweight, and confidence issues to mention just a few.  All of these women were emotionally drained and badly and desperately in need of help.

There were some who told me immediately that their husbands or partners would not allow them to spend the cost of therapy on themselves, some who left the clinic full of enthusiasm about starting the following week after they discussed with their partners (they never got back) and others who told me that the children’s football subs and gym fees were due and they couldn’t afford therapy.

It is always with a heavy heart that I let these women go.  Our fee payments are generous, we have a structure in place where it is affordable for all to take up therapy without too much financial strain but some women still feel that they are just not worth it.  I often think that if these mothers who believe that by giving their children every chance that they themselves didn’t have could talk to their children twenty years down the line I think they would be astounded by the fact the gym and all those other extracurricular activities were not worth it!  Given the choice I believe most children would prefer to have seen a happy, confident, healthy mother at the end of school each day.

So come on you mothers … you are worth it! Your emotional needs and wants are just as important as anyone else’s.   In fact, when you put yourself first sometimes you are teaching your daughters to look after themselves; you are their role model, their leader.  I’m very sure that if you saw your daughter suffering in any way and all that stood between her and happiness and health was the cost of therapy you would insist that she would avail of the therapy.

Most people think nothing of having a maintenance service on their car or even buying a new car but then think twice about seeking help when they themselves have a problem.  You are the most important person in your life. Your family needs you to be strong and free and most important of all to be fulfilled. It is not so much what you say but what you do that has the biggest influence on your children. So just don’t buy makeup and hair dye to superficially make you believe you’re worth it. Make changes which will change you forever and not just until the grey grows back!
