Nearly Half of US Teens Mutilate Themselves

According to a study conducted by Brown Medical School and The Miriam Hospital, published in Psychological Magazine, forty-six percent (46%) of teens admit to cutting or burning their bodies…biting themselves…or picking at their skin to draw blood. Teens who do it say that the physical pain distracts them from mental or emotional distress. Other teens feel that self-mutilation gives them a feeling of self control over their lives.

What this means is that nearly half the teens you know feel so bad about themselves that they are hurting themselves. It breaks my heart to think that many of the adults I treat have been living in misery for decades. As a Certified Hypnotherapist I work with people to overcome bad habits, fears, weight management problems, stress, self esteem, confidence, and other problems. Hypnotherapy truly gets results. When I work with a client it takes only five sessions to help them overcome their problem and feel good about themselves…Finally.

I wish I could have worked with my older clients when they were younger, before they took their bad feelings and added bad habits to distract them from their pain. The more parents know about what is going on with their child, the more the child can be helped. Most people find adolescence to be a difficult time in their lives. Some people live with the pain forever. THEY DON’T HAVE TO!

I Am the Foremost Expert in Southern California
In Utilizing Hypnotherapy to Work with
Children and Teens

As a former middle school special education teacher, I am especially skilled at building rapport with parents and children. I love working with children, even those that others find “difficult.” I find it truly rewarding to help young people permanently improve their self esteem, confidence and ability to learn, and overcome issues related to emotional problems, motivation, anger management, fears, anxiety and trauma. Taking care of these issues early can prevent even bigger issues later.
