There are three different types of incontinence, stress, urge and functional. The first is due to insufficient strength of the pelvic floor muscles. It is the loss of small amounts of urine associated with coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising or other movements that increase intra-abdominal pressure and thus increase pressure on the bladder. The second is involuntary loss of urine occurring for no apparent reason while suddenly feeling the need or urge to urinate and the third occurs when a person recognises the need to urinate, but cannot physically make it to the bathroom in time due to limited mobility.

Hypnosis won’t only help to reduce the incontinence but it will also help the emotional and psychological issues that came alongside. It also has the benefit of no side effects. The way it works is through the process of accessing your subconscious and instructing it to support your intended goals. In this instance your goal is be in control of your bladder and hypnosis will help you to achieve this.

There are many people who have benefited from hypnosis therapy for this problem and the first step towards the road to recovery is to realise you have a problem and seek a medical diagnosis. There is no reason to feel ashamed of this problem and once you have received a confidential diagnosis you will then be able to begin a treatment of your choice.

Approximately one five-year old in seven and one child out of 20 children aged 10 wet the bed. This can often be caused by medical conditions such as diabetes and cystitis, or it could just be down to the child in question being late to develop bladder control. Ether way, it often turns into psychological issue as the child will start to believe they are incapable of going through the night without wetting the bed.

Clinical hypnotherapist, Lynda Hudson has 15 years of experience. She specialises in the treatment of children as well as adults and she is currently writing a book and releasing a hypnotherapy CD for children .

“About 40-45 per cent of children I see come to me for bedwetting or other anxiety-based problems, which is why I produced a CD called I’m Dry at Night. This aims to change the mindset of a child who wets the bed, telling them that they can take control at the unconscious level. They can also listen to the CD in the safety of their own bedroom before they go to sleep at night,” says Hudson

The CD uses clever imagery with which children can relate. For instance, Hudson uses the idea of locking up the bladder with a large, strong and colourful key and standing sentry outside it. “I’ve also included powerful suggestions for signals to be sent from the bladder (via the sentry) to the brain for the child to wake if necessary, or to keep those muscles tightly closed until morning. I can’t promise that this approach will work for every child, but it does for the vast majority,” she says.
