Bedwetting Adults

Home

Nocturnal enuresis is the medical term but most people call ‘wetting the bed’! Whatever you call it, it can be a very distressing issue when it continues as a child gets older.

Children, and particularly teenagers, find it embarrassing and go to great lengths to hide it and live in fear that their friends will find out their ‘guilty secret’. They feel ‘babyish’ and guilty even though it is certainly not their fault. They miss out on sleepovers and school trips and their self-esteem can drop to an all time low.

Consult with your GP

To rule out physical causes such as urinary, kidney infections and, in the case of sudden onset, possible childhood diabetes amongst other things. (Don’t get too worried about this as it is not normally the case but it is definitely worth checking out.)

Can Hypnotherapy help?

It can help where the problem is related to habit, anxiety or negative expectations of wetting the bed … all very likely when they’ve been wetting the bed for years.

Hypnotherapy is natural, safe and drug free. I’ve been successfully helping young people and adults with this problem every week for thirty years. Many of these children and adults have been through the enuresis clinic system and used alarms and other methods with no success.
