Our 13 years old daughter, Kate, had always been a good student and an overall well behaved child. We say “had” because all of that changed about a year ago. Around the time she reached the age of 12, she changed rather quickly. She became sullen, her grades tumbled, and we began to get calls from her teachers regarding behavior issues at school. The first thing we did was to have her pediatrician do a complete checkup to make sure there was nothing physically. She got a clean bill of health. We then talked to the guidance counselor and psychologist at her school. They seemed to think that Kate had developed an unhealthy lack of confidence but they could not give us a reason for her rather sudden loss of self-esteem, but they did give us several recommendations, which we followed precisely. Despite our efforts and the efforts of the school staff nothing changed with Kate. Her grades continued to fall, and the negative reports from her teachers continued. When we shared our frustration with a close friend of the family, she told us about a young relative of hers who had experienced a similar problem with self-esteem; however our friends nephew was in his early twenties. Our friend went on to share that this young man’s parents had taken him to a hypnotherapist with the hopes their son might be able to boost his self-assurance through hypnosis. According to our friend, the hypnosis had worked and the young man was doing very wel again. We wondered if hypnosis was appropriate for some as young as Kate, so we decided to speak with a Certified Hypnotherapist. After meeting with Kate and us, we were assured that hypnosis was indeed suitable. With our blessing, Kate agreed to give hypnosis a try. Fortunately, we started to notice an improvement in Kate’s attitude after meeting with her hypnotherapist for only the second time. By the time six weeks and six sessions had passed, there was remarkable improvement. We now have our good student and well behaved daughter back and since all of this happened about a year ago the positive change seems to be permanent. We are grateful to Louisville Hypnosis Academy for helping Kate (and us) with this remarkable self-improvement tool.
