A family member in England (I live in Scotland.)had tried everything she could think of to tackle her son’s bedwetting & as a last resort she took him to Hypnotherapy in Leigh,Lancs.
It had almost immediate (positive) results.
I would like your opinion on Hypnotherapy, is it available on the NHS?(She had to go private.)& is there a DIY technique you may know about that may work?
Thanks for your time,
Maggie.
We have used Hypnotherapy in our house for several issues and have always had positive results, so in principle I do believe it can sometimes help. However, and this is a big ‘however’, it needs to be done by someone who is fully trained – in other words, not you or I. There are therapists and even some psychologists who use hypnotherapy or similar techniques as part of their methods; and for it to stand any chance of working you must use a qualified practitioner. In this as in so many other instances the rules often vary within the NHS trusts so I would speak to your GP and ask for a referral to a therapist who also uses hypnotherapy. A lot of what occurs in hypnotherapy is about relaxation so it might also be worth your while to do some simple relaxation techniques such as yoga stretching with your daughter. It might not help with the bedwetting but it might help her have a peaceful night’s sleep, which is certainly no bad thing. Good luck!
