Positive Minds Hypnotherapy and NLP

Hypnosis can help with IBS...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the most common disorders of the digestive system. The organisation IBS network estimates that it affects a third of people in the UK at any one time and one in ten people have symptoms bad enough to visit their doctor.

IBS is characterised by a collection of symptoms affecting the small or large bowel, which can cause pain and discomfort. The exact causes of IBS are unknown. IBS sufferers usually have no physical abnormalities in the bowel, so it has been suggested that there is a strong link between stress and IBS.

What seems to happen with Irritable Bowel Syndrome is that the bowel becomes super sensitive and responds with violent contractions or spasms to stimuli such as stress or simply eating meals.

Symptoms may vary between individuals -

 - Abdominal pain and discomfort
- Abdominal contractions, spasms or cramps
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Nausea
- Excess wind
- Vomiting
- Indigestion

Sufferers may experience a combination of some of these symptoms, with one symptom being dominant or greater in severity.

Hypnotherapy has had great success with IBS patients because of the connection between IBS and stress. There have been a number of clinical studies done both in the UK and America with good results for the patients involved.

Hypnotherapy can help by
1, helping you relax, easing the symptoms if they are triggered by stress.
2, teaching you powerful creative visualisation techniques to imagine relief for your symptoms.
3, programming in new, positive reactions to stress triggers
4, use visualisation to heal the area that is inflamed ( a technique called hypno-healing only used with Advanced Hypnotherapists)

Always consult you GP before seeking any alternative or allied therapy.
