Use Hypnosis With Children During Medical or Dental Procedures
Use hypnosis or focused distraction with children during shots, blood draws, dental work, or imaging procedures to reduce fear and pain. This can include advance training in self-hypnosis with the parent the week before and using personalized pleasant-place imagery based on where the child likes to be.
