Remember, regular listening is the key to success! A self help hypnotherapy recording for children aged about 6-9 years 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 stories so that they don't feel deprived in any way.
Imaginative framework Children relax comfortably, and are taken off in their imagination to a lovely garden where is there is a little table with paper and paint for them to paint out any worries and concerns they might have.
They then imagine seeing their bladder that holds all the wee inside them and locking it up with a big colourful key.
They stand a sentry on guard so messages can be sent to wake them up if the bladder needs emptying and to keep that door closed until the child allows it to be opened.
There are powerful suggestions to use their muscles to keep the door closed as well as positive suggestions for confidence and self esteem.
At that point they visualize themselves waking up to a warm dry bed 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 language and topics used are carefully crafted to appeal to the interests of this particular age group.
NB Some children may seem more or less mature than their chronological age.
