Lynda Hudson, Psychotherapist and Consultant Hypnotherapist has great success in helping children to stop bedwetting. Bedwetting, or to give it its clinical name, Nocturnal Enuresis, is the cause of untold misery to both child and parents. The endless washing of sheets, the ruined mattresses, the bed alarms that didn't work, the lingering smell of urine that seems to pervade the whole house, the child's own dejection and disappointment are just a few of the concerns of parents.

The child himself (the problem more often occurs in boys) is likely to suffer in different ways, possibly the worst of which is the damage to self-esteem. Many kids feel embarrassed, depressed, or angry. They are fed-up because they can't go on 'sleepovers' or school trips without embarrassment or complicated cover-ups. It feels horrible to wake up in wet, smelly pyjamas and sheets. Probably worst of all is the ever-present sense of failure and the need to go to extraordinary lengths to hide the truth from friends and, sometimes even other members of the family.

Through years of experience with helping children overcome this problem, Lynda has produced a series of CDs so that the solution can be more generally available and affordable to children everywhere. The 'I'M DRY AT NIGHT' CD for 6-9 year olds contains fun imagery where the child is encouraged to engage in a mental process of locking up the door to the bladder and keeping it tightly closed all night through.

She has now also written and recorded 'GOOD MORNING!', a CD suitable for 10-15 year olds.

Very often just listening to the CD regularly as they go to sleep will be the complete answer. Hypnotherapy is gentle, natural and safe in the hands of an expert and makes use of the child's imaginative powers to change their expectations of failure into success. It leads them into taking control of their bodily functions in ways which delight and amaze both them and their parents.
