If Your Child
HATES MATH WITH A CAPITAL
H
They may be suffering from M.A.D. (math anxiety disorder)
While I'm certain you have never heard of this form of disorder (because I made up the term and while its probably not considered to be a real disorder and probably won't be until some drug company figures out how to make a useless medication for it). This term is as applicable as any other thing a person would be anxious and fearful of because...
If your son or daughter HATES MATH
it may be due to repeated FAILURE, FRUSTRATION, PUBLIC RETICULE, PUNISHMENT
which has resulted in fear and anxiety.
All of this results in what I call math anxiety or math phobia...
which means that they have attached so much fear, anxiety, frustration and ultimately PAIN
to numbers and learning math that they become mentally paralyzed, stymied, stuck, and blocked
and which ultimately prevents any learning.
Now its always possible that they may have a disability or other issues and because I’m not a doctor you should probably consult with one before deciding what to do.
However I believe that Hypnosis Can Help with
Math Anxiety or Math Phobia.
But if you think that $77.00 is way to much to pay for a CD that will eliminate your students math anxiety or math phobia... help boost their self confidence, self esteem and make them a better student...
this is not for you.
Imagine this scenario. You and your child are sitting at a table taking this simple math test. Here is your conversation.
You: "What is 1+ 1?"
Your child:(rolling eyes) "1+ 1= I HATE MATH!"
You: "Whats 3 x 3?"
Your child: "3x3 = "Math sucks, why do I have to know this crap!"
If this sounds familiar...
If your son or daughter has decided that
math = great pain...
and
If math = anxiety, anger, crying, screaming and a LOT of frustration and disappointment.
You need what I have to offer right now
because...
There is no amount of screaming, punishment, bribery, battery or logic, discussion, flash cards, detention, or forced memorization of times tables that will possibly change this
because your son or daughter has probably developed
MATH PHOBIA
OR
MATH ANXIETY
Yes really. But chances are that you and your kids math teacher believe that he or she is just being lazy or defiant. Part of the reason why their teacher would feel this way is that most math teachers love math soooooooo much that they can't possibly understand why anyone would feel that math is equal to TORTURE! Also I believe that many people who teach math do so because they have what I would describe as a "romantic relationship" with numbers and their mindset is so mechanical that
they are emotionally detached, have poor social skills and cannot understand how a child (especially a creative one) would attach such fear, anxiety, emotion, frustration and anger to numbers.
This is why they don't / can't usually get through to a struggling math student. So they just think that all they need to do is teach by repetition and when the student is still resistant and still "doesn't get it," the teacher quickly becomes frustrated and angry and writes
"F" in giant red ink
on your kids paper over and over thinking that somehow this will motivate them to, "try harder"
And they might as well just stamp the word
FAILURE
In big red ink on their soul because this is how the student feels
So you see...
These teachers approach to math is mechanical, while your son or daughters approach is EMOTIONAL
This is why most math teachers don't also teach language or drama or creative writing or music or art.
While most math teachers may logically understand words, music and art. They don't really FEEL THEM
the way that creative people do and so they cannot emotionally understand
how your child could FEEL so angry, frustrated, anxious and become phobic
about this mechanical thing called, math.
But you see
I DO!
You see, whenever a person has any sort of phobia or anxiety or "mental block"
there is absolutely no amount of logic, or reasoning or threatening or shouting or humiliation punishment or forced repetition that will help the person "get it" and persuade this person (child or adult) to comply and
learning will absolutely positively
NOT TAKE PLACE
while they are in this state of mind.
Outside of a few good special ed teachers or tutors, most teachers in our deficient American school system do not understand this or how to deal with this and they will keep trying to jam a square peg into a round hole and the problem and hatred and frustration and anxiety with math only gets worse, (which is why your kids teacher has not given you a solution that worked and naturally this is why you are reading this right now.)
Next
what happens is that your student
has so much pain and fear and fear of failure attached to math that they become mentally PARALYZED AND it prevents them from
learning...
How do I know all of this?
You see I'm a HYPNOTIST and I help people use hypnosis to eliminate fears and phobias and sky rocket their self confidence.
I do it very quickly using hypnosis.
Unless you are a total skeptic and dismiss me as a whacko here is what will happen when he or she uses this CD to overcome their Math Anxiety or Math Phobia.
All they will do is play it on a CD player or on their mp3 player at bedtime every night for 30 nights and everyday about 30 minutes before they do their math homework. They will hear my calm voice and soothing piano music guiding them off into a nice gentle nap.
Then while under hypnosis they will hear suggestions for feeling relaxed and calm and confident whenever working with numbers.
They will also recode their feelings about numbers and about math and recode and re-associate them with pleasure instead of pain.
As a result, their comfort with numbers and understanding of math will improve.
I do not guarantee that they will ever love math or that they will even like math. That should not be the goal. My guess is that your student naturally gravitates toward creative pursuits and subjects like language and art and music.
However once they remove all of the negative associations to math and numbers and they actually feel calm, confident, optimistic and balanced instead of weak, negative, resistant, angry, anxious and stuck.
They will be able to sit calmly and at least be open to learning and doing math in a calm and rational and confident manner instead of being totally resistant and hostile to the process.
With HYPNOSIS
ITS EASY
Because of the way that I do it. Its actually quite easy. You don't have to do a thing. Just let them listen to the CD / mp3 as I stated above and your student will use hypnosis to basically "flip off the fear and negativity switch" and "flip on the switch for relaxation and self confidence" so that they can behave in a rational and confident way whenever they work with numbers or are learning math.
What I do is quick, easy and effective.
The process happens very quickly and as a result the fear and anxiety and negativity melts away like ice on a hot summer day.
Sound good?
Here are a few of my many successes in areas OTHER THAN MATH
I have used hypnosis with teens and adults who went from being shy and fearful to suddenly being INVOLVED with people and even dating.
I have used hypnosis to help male and female athletes overcome all sorts of fears and negative thinking that they developed in their sport as a result of an injury or setback or a SLUMP. I have worked with bowlers, golfers, football and baseball players, soccer, shooters, skiers, motorcycle and car racers, basket ball, volleyball players. You name the sport. And my athletes have gone on to achieve greatness.
Quick example: I once had a pole vaulter have his pole break and he because so fearful he could not compete. After one 90 minute session he was back in full force. A similar situation happened with a young gymnastics athlete and a flying trapeze artist who suddenly developed a fear of letting go of the bar.
I have had musicians, comedians and other stage performers overcome stage fright. (By the way I am a performer myself and I have ZERO fear of public speaking or being on stage. For me it is actually the most comfortable fearless place in the world.)
I have used hypnosis to help writers overcome writers block.
I have used hypnosis to help numerous people overcome all sorts of phobias with insects, spiders, heights, the telephone, social situations, you name it.
And
I have used hypnosis to help people of all ages who had math anxiety and math phobia and hatred of math, actually able to feel calm and confident and open to learning and using math skills.
And NOW I Can Help Even YOUR Student
Because
THE ONLY THING GETTING IN THE WAY IS
YOU!
And I'm here to help you with that ....
So if you are interested in helping yourself or your student getting rid of this MATH ANXIETY OR MATH PHOBIA that is holding them back and keeping THEM from being a better student ...
Count to 3 and pull your thumb out of your behind and call me and
"Lets get'er done"
