This book helps children with increased self-confidence, to overcome anxiety and bullying and to adjust to change. It supports kids to feel understood and empowered via therapeutic stories - for their emotional health and resilience.
This a handbook/treasury of forty stories. It's the second in the metaphor series

They are both simply effective at creating positive change.

It can be used by:

- hypnotherapists in the therapeutic environment with: hypnosis for children, adult 'inner child' work and other psychological therapies

- primary school teachers as a discussion tool e.g. in 'circle time'

- parents as a bed-time story to encourage a child to open up about emotional issues - assisting with therapeutic parenting

Approximately half of the stories are duplicated by gender to provide:

1 - a tailored hypnotic experience for clients

2 - support to some therapists who have dyslexia/other disabilities who find it challenging to change pronouns as they read during treatment sessions

'The lightness of touch with trickier topics such as bereavement and differently parented families makes this perfect for school use.'

- Lynda Hudson, Author 'Scripts and Strategies in Hypnotherapy with Children.'

'...the language is accessible to children and increases their self-awareness, whilst gently challenging negative fixed beliefs. Emotional intelligence is a key ingredient to a child's future success and this book supports that development.'

- Dr Michelle Clubb, PhD, Educational Psychologist
