Free Yourself from IBS
When your gut is unpredictable, it can start to control far more than your digestion.
IBS can affect your confidence, your social life, your work, your sleep and your freedom to simply get on with your day.
You may find yourself constantly thinking about your stomach…
Where the nearest bathroom is…
What you can eat…
Or whether your symptoms might suddenly appear.
And the more you worry about your gut, the more difficult it can become to switch off from it.
The good news is that the brain and gut are closely connected — and this connection can be worked with.
Hypnotherapy can help
Hypnotherapy can help calm the nervous system and change the way you respond to the sensations, thoughts and stress associated with IBS.
Using therapeutic hypnosis, relaxation, visualisation and tailored techniques, we work with the mind-gut connection to help you develop a greater sense of calm and control.
You can learn to:
- reduce stress and worry around your symptoms
- feel calmer and safer within your body
- change unhelpful thought patterns
- reduce the fear and anticipation surrounding flare-ups
- build confidence around eating and everyday activities
- stop allowing IBS to dictate where you go and what you do
Think of the brain and gut as constantly communicating with each other.
When the nervous system is under pressure, those messages can become louder.
By calming the mind, we can help create a calmer conversation between the brain and the gut.
Treatment
Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in a number of clinical studies
Reclaim Your Freedom
IBS isn’t just about what happens in your stomach.
It’s about what happens in your head too.
Hypnotherapy can help you step out of that cycle and begin rebuilding trust in your body.
Imagine going out without planning every detail around your gut.
Eating with less fear.
Travelling with greater confidence.
Being present with friends and family rather than constantly monitoring how you feel.
Your gut doesn’t have to dictate your life.
Treatment is tailored to you and may include therapeutic hypnosis, hypno-cognitive techniques, relaxation, visualisation and hypnoanalysis where appropriate.
We explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, stress and physical symptoms, while developing practical tools to help you manage your responses more effectively.
The aim is to help you understand the mind-gut connection and give you more tools to work with your body rather than constantly fighting against it. Feel calmer. Trust your body. Get your life back.
Hypnotherapy can be used as a complementary approach alongside appropriate medical care. IBS symptoms can overlap with other gastrointestinal conditions, so an appropriate medical diagnosis should be established before beginning treatment.
