Pranav used to feel very restless and keep jumping around in school. The school counselor diagnosed him as ADHD and asked parents to get the required help.
The mother also would get a lot of complaints from the teachers and was feeling very helpless. She was trying but did not know how to solve the problem. That’s when she reached out to us.
Whenever anyone refers to a mental health diagnosis, we always say, “We don’t know what ADHD is. We understand that there are some specific traits and behaviours that he is demonstrating that are limiting him for achieving his full potential. Let’s figure out what these specific limitations are.
We identified that whenever he was sitting, he would see a picture of flies all around him. And then he would be jumping around to escape the flies.
He wasn’t bringing in the picture, he wasn’t thinking about the picture. In fact, he did not even know that is what was going on. It was an unconscious process - he was not doing it consciously - it was happening to him.
In this consultation, we asked him to describe in slow motion “What happens to you?” And as he was describing this - we saw his eyes go left up (which means he saw a picture). We asked him to pause and tell us what picture he saw .. that’s when he said he saw a picture of flies. And he moves around because he wants to escape the flies.
We used the Breakthrough NLP Procedure called the Swish to change his internal unconscious process.
Well, he was able to sit in class and focus easily, immersively in class. He was studying well, finishing his work and focusing on his growth easily and effortlessly. His mother called and said, ”I am so happy - no teacher calls me up now to complain. He has not been asked to visit the counselor for 3 months now. I can see him doing all of his work and then going for his football games as well.”
