Remember,
regular listening is the key to success!
A self help hypnotherapy
recording for children aged about 10-15 years
(or even older) who are still wetting the bed at
night. There are many reasons for children
wetting the bed
(Click here for more
information)
and it is useful to
check out with your medical practitioner that there
is no underlying medical cause. Frequently the cause is
late development of this particular system in the body.
However very often one of the contributing factors is
your child’s expectation that they will wet the bed,
since this has been going on so long, and also a lack
of belief that this is something over which they
can take control. This recording addresses these
issues and gives powerful suggestions for positive
expectancy and taking control. This is done with
ideas and imagery suitable for the age group.
For maximum benefit, let them listen to the
recording, preferably nightly, for several weeks.
Although some children respond immediately, it is
quite normal to expect
progress over 6-8 weeks or maybe longer.
Play the
recording at bedtime
They can relax and drift off to sleep
at the end. If you find that they fall asleep more or
less immediately, let them listen at a quiet time
earlier on before bedtime instead, or as well as, when
they go to bed. The recording should be in addition to,
rather than instead of, any usual bedtime rituals or
reading so that they don’t feel deprived in any way.
Imaginative
framework
Children relax comfortably and
deeply, and imagine their mind as a mental
computer with programs for running all the
systems in the body. They are given instructions to
look for errors in the system or negative
beliefs and delete them. They then need to
readjust the settings for controlling the bladder
so that they respond immediately to its
signals in order that they wake up when
necessary and walk to the toilet. Or if the
bladder is not really full, the suggestions tell them to
let the bladder stretch and stay closed so that
they can sleep all night and wake up in the morning
to a warm, dry and comfy bed. In addition
they receive a powerful boost to their confidence and
self esteem which has often taken a bit of a
battering over the years of dealing with this problem.
At that point they visualize themselves waking up dry
and comfortable in the morning feeling very
pleased and proud of themselves and, of course,
surprising and delighting their families with their new
found abilities.
Successful
approach
This kind of approach is completely
natural and safe. Research shows that when a
person first acts out each positive step in their
imagination, it dramatically increases the likelihood of
their success in the real world. This recording also
contains powerful suggestions for boosting confidence
and self esteem. The computer imagery has
great appeal to the interests of this particular
age group. NB Some children may seem more or less
mature than their chronological age.
