Step 1
Prepare the room in which the hypnosis will be performed. Choose a comfortable chair, keep the room dimly lit and set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature.
-
Step 2
Ask the child to sit in a chair. Make sure she does not recline in the chair. The objective is to get the child to relax, not fall asleep.
-
Step 3
Use techniques that relax your child. These can include deep breathing or concentrating on a single object. Try having your child count backwards from 10.
-
Step 4
Ask your child to close his eyes when he feels relaxed. This requires patience, as some subjects may need a great deal of time to feel totally relaxed.
-
Step 5
Ask the child questions that may get at the root of the bedwetting. You may even ask the child what she thinks is the solution to her problem.
-
Step 6
Tell the child that he can control his bladder at night and that he will not wet the bed.
-
Step 7
Tell the child that she will be able to wake up at night if she feels the urge to use the bathroom.
-
Step 8
Use a technique to bring the child out of the relaxed mode and back into complete consciousness. For example, you might have the child count to 10 or imagine climbing a staircase to the top.
-
Step 9
Discuss highlights and important points from the session with your child. Listen as your child describes his reaction after the hypnosis.
