OVERCOME BEDWETTING THROUGH HYPNOTHERAPY

Children, especially those older than five years, are ideal subjects for hypnosis. They respond wonderfully in cases where the process is made to be like a game. Bedwetting is common. It can have many causes and many treatment procedures. It can last over almost any period of time. Hypnotherapy becomes appropriate when a child reaches an age where stopping is a reasonable expectation or in cases where a stopped child begins bedwetting again.

Causes can include adjustment difficulties-a new baby in the home, severe illness and possible need for security, starting school, and not uncommonly, attention getting. Depth of sleep can also he a factor.

There are a number of non-hypnotic procedures, including drinking and holding large amounts of water during waking hours to stretch the bladder. Setting alarms by parents and gradually lengthening the time between bedtime and awakening can help. It is important to make sure the child is fully awakened when being taken to the bathroom. Hypnotherapy requires that words used in suggestions be within the vocabulary of the child. Suggestions may include subconscious implanting of knowledge that the child will not only feel the need to go to the bathroom, but may even dream of it. It is suggested that the child will awaken, get up and go to the bathroom and will he able to retain urine until he gets there. The child will be reminded that great happiness and satisfaction will result from his control of this normal function.
