Children find The Journey processes fun and fast to do. 

In South Africa Journey processes have become part of the weekly timetable for more than 300 schools.

The initial trial showed that pupils receiving a process once a week exceeded their peers in every aspect:

• Self Confidence
• Concentration
• Behaviour
• Attentiveness
• Attendance increased to 97%
• Incident of Bullying reduced
• Exam results increased from 76% to 93%

     Some of the issues successfully treated include: 

• Anger
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Depression
• Eating Disorder
• Glandular Fever 
• Headaches
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• M.E.
• Obsession, Compulsion, Addictions
• Sleeping problems
• Stress
• Weight problems

An example of the benefits can be seen from the story of Lois who had been diagnosed with dyslexia. She was avoiding going to school. Every morning was almost a battle to get her into school.

After 3 processes Lois was happily bouncing into her classroom. Her teachers noticed her new found confidence and her academic ability has remarkably improved.

  

We are currently working with a number of schools with selected pupils addressing issues and problems.

Interestingly the most ‘challenging’ pupils often have responded the fastest and the most significantly.

This is a huge step forward in helping and supporting pupils who may otherwise be excluded from school - what an exciting opportunity for the children of our future to grow up this confidence.

Younger children find it particularly difficult to put into word their feelings,

In this fast paced world, children are increasingly showing signs of suffering from stress. School tests, falling out with friends, arguments between parents, feeling overwhelmed by homework and being bullied or teased can all put great stress on a child as he learns how to deal with the outside world. Below are the most common signs of child stress. If your child suffers from one or more of the following on a regular basis, they may be stressed, Journey Therapy can help them.

Journey Therapy for Children -  page 43 

Journalist, Sallyann Keizer, talks about an alternative way of resolving childhood issues……..


Four-year-old Amy had been unable to fall asleep on her own for months. Her parents would have to stay with her every night until she eventually fell off but
then very quickly she would wake again crying unable to sleep at all. Her parents had tried everything to get her to sleep – from sitting with her to sleeping on her floor but nothing was working. Their only solution had been to allow her to sleep in their bed night after night and they were exhausted.

That was when Sue Franklin stepped in. Sue is an accredited Journey Practitioner who has been helping children with all kinds of emotional and health issues for the past seven years: from anxiety, exam stress, anger, and depression to headaches, Glandular Fever, IBS and Diabetes amongst many others.

Sue met Amy on three occasions and, as with all her Journey therapy, worked with her to access previously unresolved thoughts and emotions. The Journey processes are gentle and effective, cutting through hours of discussing ‘who said what, where and when’ and get straight to the core issue. Children are not always able to explain their thoughts, feelings and emotions and Journey therapy offers access to those thoughts and emotions and enables them to communicate, release and resolve difficult feelings, sometimes in a non-verbal way.

After only three sessions Amy had completely transformed. She is now sleeping soundly in her own bed every night with no disturbances. Her shyness has disappeared and not only that, at school her reading and writing skills have greatly improved.

Amy is now enjoying performing dance and music in front of audiences (something she would never previously have had the confidence to do!) and her parents describe her as a ‘live wire’, confident and happy.

Amy is just one of hundreds of young people Sue has been working with over the past years. Sue sees private clients, students in schools, and receives referrals from Social Services. She also works with adults.

Is your child experiencing a problem with sleeping, anger, anxiety, headaches or tummy aches?
