Stool holding (encopresis) affects 1-4% of Australian children, with toilet anxiety present in 60% of cases. Our personalised self-hypnosis sessions offer an evidence-based therapeutic approach that addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of this challenging condition. Clinical studies consistently show 75-85% success rates with hypnotherapy for childhood encopresis, with most children showing significant improvement within 2-5 sessions.
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind to address the root cause of stool holding - toilet anxiety and fear responses. Through guided relaxation and positive suggestion, the therapeutic intervention helps retrain your child's stress response system and teaches natural pelvic floor muscle relaxation. This dual approach creates new neural pathways that support healthy bowel function while reducing the anxiety that triggers retention behaviours.
Each session is individually crafted by our qualified clinical hypnotherapist based on your child's specific age, personality, and presenting symptoms. Unlike generic recordings, this personalised approach ensures the therapeutic content resonates with your child's unique experiences and challenges. The gentle, story-like format makes the clinical intervention feel natural and non-threatening, supporting consistent engagement and therapeutic compliance.
Delivered within 48 hours, these professional-grade recordings provide families with immediate access to evidence-based support. Research shows that 80% of children maintain improvements at 12-month follow-up, demonstrating the lasting effectiveness of this therapeutic approach for addressing childhood encopresis.
