IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome) affects more women than men and the cause of the condition is unknown.
Symptoms include bouts of abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and/or diarrhoea. Other conditions have very similar symptoms, so it’s really important to have a doctor verify that your symptoms really are due to IBS and not something else.
You may have noticed that the severity of your symptoms is linked to the levels of stress you are experiencing. Some people with IBS may say they are not stressed but quite often they have become so used to being stressed that the stress itself feels normal.
Although IBS is not a psychological disorder, studies have shown that hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for IBS.
Hypnosis appears to be an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome according to information reported in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Hypnotherapy routinely produces positive results in more than 80% of the people who use it.
Hypnotherapy can help you to relax your mind which in turn will relax your body. Even being relaxed about the IBS can be helpful. As you begin to become a more relaxed person you can begin to feel much more relaxed about life generally, notice that you are feeling more comfortable and secure physically, feel more and more confident using visualisation techniques to help yourself heal, find creative ways of managing sources of stress and start to enjoy life again.
Hypnotherapy for IBS is not a quick fix and you should be prepared to have several sessions on the road to recovery.
