School avoidance rarely has anything to do with naughtiness. It is usually about an overwhelming feeling of anxiety. Shaming the child or shouting at the child is likely to exacerbate the problem. Parents often feel helpless. There may be limited support from CAMHS and Social Services. It is common for parents to feel shame for this problem. Morning after morning of stress and crying. Parents feeling blamed and overhelmed too.
Very often children are unable to verbalise why they are finding school too much. This is where hypnotherapy and EMDR can help. As they are not talking therapies, a child does not need to talk for this treatment to work. Making it a treatment of choice for autistic children and selective mutism. Parents are given constructive advice. EMDR and hypnotherapy will be carried out in the same session. The average amount of sessions is 4 one hour sessions.
