Fast and Effective Help to Overcoming The effects of Bed Wetting (enuresis) in Childhood

Bedwetting has a traumatic and distressing effect, not only the child who is struggling with this problem, but the whole family.  This problem puts enormous financial and emotional stress on the parents, whose relationship can be put under unbearable pressure. At the Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre we understand the family tension is common when children are punished and parents feel guilty, not only for punishing a child who is already upset, but also with the thoughts of ‘is it our fault?’  And sadly it is not uncommon for marriages to break up under the pressure of disturbed nights.
Children who bed wet are frightened of being discovered by their friends and being bullied at school. It almost becomes a 'dirty secret', something they don't want anyone to know. They often feel different, and slightly separated from their peers. They become too frightened to stay at friends' houses, or go on school trips.
Practically speaking, it's hard work and has financial implications.  You can use plastic mattress and duvet covers, however these are very uncomfortable and often noisy to sleep with.  The  financial and stress costs are immense, having to strip the bed every morning is hard work and the washing and tumble drying every day is economically draining.
Although many people eventually grow out of the problem, until they do it's a source of misery. Research shows that people with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting) avoid forming relationships, getting jobs, traveling, and suffer low self-esteem and even depression.
