Learning disorders or DYS (dysphasia, dyslexia, dyspraxia…) appear during a child’s development and persist into adulthood. In addition to difficulties specific to cognitive disorders (written language, mathematics, etc.), he also suffers from memory disorders. Among the compensatory techniques he’ll need to develop, hypnotherapy can help a DYS child work on memorization.
What role does memory play in DYS disorders?
Insofar as memory does not have a single location in the brain, memory damage can be multiple, with highly variable intensity. At school, the consequences can take many forms for DYS children.
For example, a dysorthographic person may “miss a word”, unable to restore stored information. Dyslexics frequently suffer from short-term memory deficits, which prevent them from maintaining phonological information and sequential order in the same way as others.
Faced with these long-lasting memory problems, DYS children have no choice but to begin re-education with a competent professional (such as a speech therapist), to reinforce this deficient memory, reorganize the memorization process and put in place memory “prostheses”.
How can hypnotherapy affect memory?
In addition to conventional re-education work, hypnotherapy can also help them overcome lapses, forgetfulness and concentration problems. Thanks to the hypnotic state, the professional stimulates the DYS child’s willpower, improves his or her self-confidence and emotionsmake them aware of the many other resources and abilities they have at their disposal.
Here, we mustn’t forget that DYS disorders don’t reflect an intellectual deficit, but simply a brain that’s different from others, whose potential we need to understand, in order to translate this “handicap” into strength.
The hypnotherapist calls on the different types of memory: visual memory (image), auditory memory (sound), kinesthetic memory (body sensation), spatial and olfactory memory (space, smell) and emotional memory (emotion). For example, if the DYS child has a good visual marker, he’ll be able to use this ability to tag his memories and better inscribe them in his unconscious.
