Treating ADHD with Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is great alternative treatment for ADHD instead of medication or alongside it. A growing number of ADHD adults and parents of children with ADHD are now considering alternative and complementary therapies to help them cope with this condition.

ADHD and hypnosis has been found to help people with ADHD focus, concentrate and control stressful situations.

Hypnotherapy can help ADHD by:

  • Learning to focus

  • Avoiding distractions

  • Improving study habits

  • Increasing Self Esteem

  • Releasing Traumas & Phobias related to ADHD

  • Changing your beliefs about ADHD for the positive

  • Increasing motivation & eliminating procrastination

  • Improving sleep

  • Lowering depression and anxiety

“Hypnosis involves attending to hypnotic suggestions, and it would seem logical that those with ADHD would have greater difficulty paying attention to them. Yet, some research has shown that people with ADHD are in fact more hypnotisable and trance-prone than average despite challenges with focus.” Traci Stein, PhD, in Psychology Today

Hypnotherapy can be used alongside medication very well with ADHD, it may also be a suitable option if you choose not to take medication currently or are unable to take it. It may also help to lower the dosage of medication necessary and the rate of medication-related side effects. 

I use a combination of hypntherapy techniques, including cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy, visualisation, NLP and suggestion therapy.
