Thoughts from the hypnosis office: The back to school tummy ache.
I’ve been working with a few clients whose childhood nervous stomach is still causing them challenges in adulthood. I admit I was one of those kids who missed plenty of school as a child (and had plenty of rough mornings as an adult) because of that nervous stomach.
Thankfully, when I became a hypnotist I was able to overcome this challenge. Well…. mostly! Through the years, I’ve also learned how my body responds to stress, especially the big stressors, so now I’m able to manage the regular everyday stressors and better navigate the more significant ones.
If your child (or your inner child) struggles with a back to school stomach ache, it’s important to remember that just because there’s an emotional element, their feelings are there for a reason. Through understanding the body’s reaction to stress and learning how to manage that stress, they might be able to overcome the stomach ache and more fully engage in life!
