Get in touch now and let's sort this conversation between your brain and your gut!
An estimated 10-15% of the UK population lives with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), potentially affecting millions of people, although some sources suggest as many as 1 in 3 individuals in the UK experience IBS symptoms at some point. ​
Statistical evidence from UK and international studies shows significant benefits from hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with response rates often exceeding 70% for IBS symptom improvement.
Hypnotherapy works just as well whether in person or on Zoom - your session - your choice!
How does it affect you?
I'm not telling you anything you don't know here if you have IBS.
You will be painfully aware of just how debilitating it is, with chronic, disruptive symptoms like severe abdominal pain, bloating, and unpredictable bowel changes (diarrhoea or constipation), leading to social isolation, missed work, and decreased quality of life.
But there is another way to try, and one that's worked for over 70% of the people who have tried hypnotherapy to help their IBS - often as a last resort.
What else does it trigger?
The "gut-brain axis" dysfunction can also worsen symptoms during times of stress, plus associated fatigue, nausea, backaches, and bladder problems can further complicate daily functioning and well-being.
How Hypnotherapy can help
Hypnotherapy literally resets what's out of sync in your body. Think about your phone or laptop needing software updates regularly - if they aren't updated, they don't work to their full potential. The mind and body are no different and hypnotherapy basically delivers the update and communication needed between your brain and your gut. It reduces the brain's heightened response to gut signals, thereby decreasing symptoms like pain and bloating, and improving bowel regularity. This is achieved through a combination of deep relaxation techniques, positive suggestion, and guided imagery that promotes a state of focused calm and empowers individuals to manage their condition more effectively.
