Hi,

Does someone know the tapping technique to stop bed wetting in a little girl?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Laura,

Welcome to the forum.

I will help if I can, but more detail is needed.

Tapping can be useful for addressing the emotional aspects of what is going on for the little girl. Tapping itself is not a technique to stop something, it is a set of techniques for helping a person rebalance energy disturbances in the body. By addressing the aspects of bed wetting that affect her like:

The physical feelings of what happens to her

The emotions around wetting herself

Current worries, anxious feelings or upsets - often the root to wetting

Anxious feelings around separation.

Then EFT can be successful in helping with the general problem

Post back what is the background and I can help you to adapt the set up phrases to suit the little girl.

Are there any physical reasons that you know about that adds to this issue?

 Hi Christine,

 I need to spend sometime thinking about all the things which can be bothering her. I read your answer to Elesa. I'll contact you soon.

Thank you so much for your help.

 I have a 9 year old boy who has can't keep his bed dry....with challenge he can go for 10-14 days but not constantly.   I had 2 brothers who wet their beds until high school, one didn't stop until he was medicated though I KNOW some of that was the traumas my mother put them through when they did "mess up".  I am trying to take a laid back approach and he wears goodnights  in between challenges  (goal times).

He has problems falling to sleep at night and then doesn't wake up.  He's a thinker and doesn't communicate much about feelings.  We have some autism/aspergers in our family and he show those tendancies but not serious enough to "treat"/

He's also resistant to doing EFT but clears things when I he does. 

Hi,

I have not used EFT for bed wetting with any clients, however I offer the following thoughts.

If you look into Elimination Communication (EC) or Natural Infant Hygiene (NIH) you will find the premise that babies are aware of their elimination needs from birth and this can be fostered very early. What tends to happen in the West is that it is assumed that babies don't have this awareness & hence that they have no control over their elimination functions.

Consequently they are actually "trained" to ignore this awareness & control and learn instead to use their daipers as a toilet. Over time they loose this awareness & control & so have to be "trained" back again.

Anyway, where I am going with this is that there may be some valuable tapping that can be done around having lost this natural ability, of not being to communicate to caregivers early on, of grieving over all that time spent in wet daipers because no-one understood, maybe even some deeper emotional charge around it all.

This of course may bring up stuff for the caregivers too & hence maybe some tapping for them about what they didn't know etc & maybe they will come to a different place also, which may help the whole situation.

My other thought is about how far out children's consciousness may travel in sleep. Perhaps some children travel way out, to the extent that they really do loose touch with what is going on in their physical body at times, & hence may loose bladder control in a non regular way. May be there is nothing in this idea, but then again it only takes a few minutes to try a few EFT phrases around this idea, in child appropriate language. This might be along the lines of say "Even though sometimes my dreams are just so much fun I forget to listen to my body telling me I need to pee.... etc" maybe moving towards some EFT Choices phrases about choosing to find it easy to wake up when I need to pee, even in the bestest dream etc.

Grant,

Great insights!

Actually I do go with your premsis that they have the natural ability to sense it and may lose concisousness in their sleep.

 I have two sons, one sleeps lightly and has not wet his bed (or night time diapers)  since he was 2 years old  but during the day he runs to the bathroom regularly.  The other (I discussed) goes long periods during the day without releiving himself though no matter if he does before bed has problems.  He sleeps very soundly!   Though when we do these competitions to see how many days he can go (he's made 30 with only 1 mess up)  he wakes in the middle of the night to go.  I also remind him regularly during those competitions to practice using the muscles he stops the flow with at the toilet......

 I like your starting phrases "my dreams are so fun".....got my juices flowing I will have to work on this!
