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.
