“I wish I’d stroked the dog. Can we go back to the park?”

I worked with a gorgeous 6 year old this week in the little Hypno house. She had developed a fear of dogs that meant that she was petrified to go on public spaces, and despite being an outdoorsy child, wouldn’t go for walks or to the park. 

She came to see me, and after an hour of chatting, story telling and very light hypnosis (eyes open, fidgeting around) she said she was ready to go to the park.  

We saw a dog and she prickled- I reminded her that this was the way she used to behave, but didn’t want to any more. She calmed, and even when the dog was at our feet she smiled and chatted away. Then two big dogs came hurtling along with no lead. She prickled again, and again was reminddd that we had a new way to behave, and that the fear was gone. She was absolutely fine with them coming very close. 

When we got back to the Hypno House she whispered something to Mum. “I wish I’d stroked the dog. Can we go back to the park?”

It’s an absolute pleasure to work with people on making those changes in their lives that are holding them back from doing all that they want. I’m glad for her we got this sorted in one session - although she was a great kid and I doubt I’ll see her again. 

Let me know if there’s a change you want to make.
