Many common conditions can be treated by medical hypnotherapy. These include Irritable Bowel Disease and physical symptoms associated with cancer treatment (e.g. nausea, weight loss, insomnia, pain and fatigue), Psoriasis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a common disorder of the digestive system and gut that causes the bowel to be very sensitive. The condition causes recurring pain and discomfort in the abdomen and often, the nerves and muscles don't work as they should.  Lifestyle changes that can help manage symptoms. One IBS treatment recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is hypnotherapy. The gut often reacts to stressful situations, making the individual nauseous or feeling as though they have to go to the toilet with some urgency. This natural mind-gut connection is often exaggerated in those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and may cause them additional stress. Hypnotherapy for IBS can help you break the cycle of pain and anxiety related to IBS, Hypnotherapy is now acknowledged within the wider medical profession as an evidenced-based therapy that can help reduce the symptoms of IBS, and sometimes alleviate those symptoms entirely.

 

Hypnotherapy for IBS can help an individual learn relaxation techniques, as well as learning new ways to manage stress. State of mind can have an impact on physical well-being. Therefore the tension, stress and anxiety often caused by IBS may undermine the immune system and further compromise health. Learning how to relax and manage stressful feelings can become useful life tools. Hypnosis can help to promote positive thinking and develop coping strategies. Why IBS Hypnotherapy is so successful is that the gut is very reactive to our emotions, therefore, when we learn to manage our emotions through hypnotherapy, this can ease any pressure on the gut. We will also teach you IBS self hypnosis and visualisation which helps soothe the stomach and promotes healing.
