Self hypnosis could be useful in aiding treatment for children suffering
from anxiety, research has suggested.
A small study found that hypnotherapy helped psychological treatment in
reducing anxiety and feelings of helplessness in students.

The effects of hypnotherapy were found to be greater than those of more
traditional relaxation techniques. [...]
The students received psychological treatment in sessions with their parents
during which they set things they wanted to change about their lives. They
were then taught how to self-hypnotise and work towards these targets.
Mr Byron said the hypnotherapy acted as a useful vehicle for the
psychological treatment, and he found it produced greater effects than were seen
in
students using more traditional relaxation techniques. [...]
Mr Byron said hypnotherapy could also be useful to help with a number of
other treatments, and that he would like to see the Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Services nationwide employing people to offer a hypnotherapy service to
patients.
He said: "There is no doubt it has a tremendous amount to offer."
