Meet Your Power Animal
A self-hypnosis game to help your child activate their inner resources for feeling safe, one power at a time.
In my practice, when I work with children who have fears, anxiety, or low self-confidence, I invite them to look for their resources in their imagination. One of my favorite allies for this is their power animal.
This little booklet shows you how to offer this self-hypnosis game to your child. They imagine what their protector animal would do in a situation, then try out their ideas by playing or by telling their story. The qualities and powers they give their animal help them activate their own resources. That’s the magic.
What’s inside
- Four simple steps: meet their power animal, give them a mission, explore their treasure chest of powers, and become the animal
- Questions and phrases you can say to your child, ready to read out loud
- An “In My Child’s Words” page to jot down their animal, their powers, and the gesture, movement, or sound they chose
- Ideas to keep the adventure going: drawing their animal, making it with things you have at home, or turning their story into a little tale
Who is it for?
Parents of children ages 5 to 10. No materials needed. You adapt your questions to the way your child likes to take part: by playing, showing, or telling.
When to use it?
When something is worrying your child, or during a quiet moment, to help them feel safer and more confident.
