Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or ADD with hyperactivity (ADHD) is as common in today's schools as well, the common cold. If you would like to explore alternatives to drug therapy to help your child become more focused and calm and do better in school, then hypnosis is a comforting and natural choice.

Adults and children alike can suffer from the effects of ADD and ADHD. Both are treated with similar medications including Adderall, Stratera, or Ritalin. These prescriptions tend to work only as long as they are in the body, so most children have to take time out of their school schedule to visit the nurse for a mid-day dose. There can also be a drop off effect when the medication leaves the body that manifests itself as an extreme change in behavior based on the decreased ability to focus. Hypnosis addresses the core causes of the inability to stay on task by organizing thoughts and developing skills used in concentration.

Hypnotherapy designed to alleviate ADD and ADHD starts as other hypnosis sessions. First you are brought to a state of total relaxation. From there you are able to shut out all external stimuli and focus on the matter at hand. The dialog used to battle ADD and ADHD works on developing concentration by learning to focus on one specific thought or task at a time.

Steve G. Jones is a clinical hypnotherapist who has developed a self-hypnosis program called, "Overcome ADD & ADHD." It is beneficial in managing ADD and ADHD without medication or in conjunction with current drug therapies you may be using in your treatment. ADD is not something that can be controlled by sheer willpower. A new way of thinking and reasoning needs to be established to combat the problem.
