View Full Version : Suggestions for a healthy baby

Hello, hive mind! :)
I have a different sort of client coming in this week. It's a woman who I already worked with before on a "driving phobia." That session went well.
Now, however, she needs help of a different sort. She has no children, her first baby was carried to term, and died right after birth. Then she had a miscarriage. The doctors think she is fine, physically. She is fearful and distraught, and filled with all kinds of negative emotions, worry, stress, fear. I haven't helped her deal with any of that (yet). Now, she's just found out that she's pregnant again and she wants to do all she can to insure a healthy baby.
Has anyone of my professional friends here dealt with this kind of issue before? What resources would be useful to her? Special ideas? I figure we need to address the past first, release those emotions, then pump her up with confidence, peace and comfort, and suggest her body does what it knows how to do, naturally.
I'd welcome any comments or suggestions, including whether or not you think I should get a doctor's referral in this case. (I haven't.)

I would suggest TLT as it would be the quickest to get rid of most of it then on the future TL seeing how perfect this one is going to be and especially if she uses hypnosis for the birth. Triple client.
As Richard has stated 100's of times what she is going through takes a lot of advance planning. She's planning it alright -- negatively.

Statement..."you get what you wish for, and what you believe you will get".
"By coming to me now, you will be able to plan for a healthy baby and in additiong an easy and trouble free birth"... These two statements, made with confidence will be the start for both of you, so do it....
Whatever she chooses to believe will happen, so promote positive beliefs, and work to eradicate any negatives she has. Beyond that, nobody can advise you since you will be the one who is reading the client and her needs, so only you can think on your feet, and change that which needs changing quickly.
Final advise, have the father attend, and teach him how to help during the birthing, his presence will be stabalizing to what I percieve as a high strung lady, and also he will then support all your suggestions, which should include special diet additions to keep her and the baby healthy. Remember, what she believes is of utmost importance so prepare well in advance, and advise foods that are relaxing, warm milk before bed etc. She has been successful with you before, so you are ahead of the game, build on that confidence....

Connie,
Between framing it usefully as Terry and Anne have offered and using ME and Reiki you should have a very happy client.
What are your concerns around the Doctor's referral question? I don't have enough information from you to offer in that area is the reason I'm asking.
To Your Best,
Doc Houston
I would suggest that a more in-depth interview is required. Discover her negative emotions and limiting decisions and remove them.

I am sure you have already asked these question of yourself but
what did her body (her) do naturally to the baby when she miscarried?
Do you think that maybe her body (she) is carrying a little guilt about the
death of her first? Could that have affected the second? Simple is
often best, but great care is needed.
I had a client in a similar situation and she needed to be absolved.
Then she needed to be told how perfect she was. And then how
perfect her new baby was. It's one approach, but I would suggest
that you do talk to her medic before you proceed with a strategy
in case there is something of which you are not aware.

Thank you, everyone!
I intend to honor and do my best to live up to the trust she's placing in me, and you are all helping! I'm glad I asked. Every single thing every one of you has said has immense value!
Poodle, a comment for you. Perhaps it's our similiarity in training, but my mind goes where yours goes, TLT is my first choice, too. :) Terry, I'm going to pump in those ideas precisely as you've laid them out, and yes, it's all about flexibility and dealing with what presents. Don, Jack, thank you! I'm meeting with her today to learn more! Doc, I also appreciate the reminder of my other tools, Matrix Energetics, and Reiki. I'll pop both of them in there as well. Couldn't hurt! :)
The doctor referral question was based on an idea in my mind that pregnancy is a "medical condition." But I'm not "treating" anything medical, I'm helping her release negative emotions and install some more positive, empowering beliefs. I do think guilt is a big one, Jack. I'll focus on that as well.

Connie,
All of her emotions are felt by her child.
All of her hormones, and such go through the baby as well as through her.
After the negative issues are resolved, help her focus on happy and joyful thoughts.
Teach her to talk to her unborn child and to share her love and hopes.
It will be therapeutic for both :)

I think folic acid is especially important.

to be honest i dont think you should be 'consulting' 'clients' if you have to ask a forum for the answer.
until you are fully trained it may be best that you dont do anything of such nature. particulary as you may find legal issues in doing so.
take care.

Thanks, Merlin! And Pmdigi. :) I met with her and her husband today and got a lot more info. and did an initial session which was essentially a "blitz" of positive suggestions, both direct and indirect. The focus was releasing negative emotions, health, and stress release tools. I threw in an anchor collapse as well, a visual swish to see the baby in her arms, healthy, happy, perfect, plus M.E., plus reiki. She was glowing when she left, in a good way.
She was also having a "situation" at work involving a conflict with a coworker causing her a lot of emotional stress. Although I didn't work on that directly, it resolved during this session as well. She commented that it seemed so unimportant and trivial now...
Thanks everybody for the input! I'll be working with her further, pumping in more and more and more good stuff!

..but, in the UK we say co-worker and in the US you say coworker and I always think that the latter has something to do with working with cows.:D
Just an old man rambling...

Suggesting any intake of a substance, nutrition, even water is 'prescribing' and can get a hypnotist in court quickly.
beware!

I don't know if one can view past episodes of Oprah on the pc or not. I watched yesterday only because Celine D. was going to be on. The whole show was a tear jerker. How little babies can be born so wrong and sometimes medical science can fix them and sometimes not. The not in the show was a little boy that lived for exactly 99 days. Every day mom and dad celebrated his birthday. They took 3,000 pictures in 99 days. He was told a zillion times a day how much he was loved. After he passed over, there was a small funeral and 99 balloons were released to fly high into the heavens. The mother is now preggers again and ever so happy as she is sure this time it will be even better and they will have a healthy, normal child. Maybe your client should watch the hope and joy of this.
Also, it's not only the mother that talks to the baby before it is born, but dad too!!
I'm sure her Dr. will put her on pre-natal vitamins.

Isn't there something you can do about that? That takes away rights from hypnotherapists that ordinary people just take for granted.

and what would happen if that certain client had an extreme allergy to little old Vitamin K. I've known it to happen.

could stop taking money and calling one's self a hypnotist.
with the profession comes responsibility.
Actually I disagree totally 'length'.
You cannot learn without stretching, and if you only take clients that are easy, you will only stagnate.
AND if you cannot come here, and ask for advice, where?
Connie happens to be a well trained as well as a respected colleague here.
You are?
