It has been my privilege of late to have had the opportunity to help some lovely young people. I often find that people in their teens and twenties seem to respond especially well to hypnotherapy. This would go against the opinion of some people that Gen Zs are fixed and inflexible in their thinking. It has certainly not been my experience.
The pressures on this age group are immense, from the toxicity of social media, the emphasis on image and a society which sometimes offers too much choice that it can become overwhelming. This is not to mention the job worries, university debt, the cost of housing so that many young people end up living at home as they simply cannot afford to buy a place of their own.
I am not saying that things were ridiculously easy back in my day but as a baby boomer, I think that we did have some advantages. Many of us were fortunate to have two parents, one of which would perhaps be at home. It was possible for a family to get by on one salary. If you wanted to go to university it was free, how wonderful was that! There were also many good technical courses and apprenticeships. Perhaps we were a bit more carefree without the internet, but I do acknowledge that it has been a force for good in some ways too. It seemed to be easier to find good jobs, I had a great job in export where I had the opportunity to travel.
I was also very lucky that I was able to buy my own house in my 20s, as there was a scheme for young people in my village to purchase low cost housing. This meant such a lot to me and gave me the most wonderful sense of achievement. Sadly now there a far fewer youngsters who can afford to buy their own homes, even if they are a couple with good jobs.
If you are a young person or you have a young person who is going through a hard time, do consider hypnotherapy. What I love about it is that there does not have to be a huge amount of chat or deep analysis (very often the last thing a young person wants to do), it is rapid in its effectiveness and there does not have to be many sessions, so it is cost effective.
Whilst I cannot solve all the problems, I can help you to feel better, stronger and more confident in order to deal with those very reall stresses.
best wishes,
