What is IBS?
In this post I explain that IBS is three things.
IBS & STRESS
One of the main goals of the Gut-Brain Connection Program is to reduce activation of the Stress (Threat) Response and increase activation of the Rest and Digest Response. Achieving this helps break the IBS related stress cycle and enables the digestive system to return to normal functioning again.
IBS & PAIN
IBS and chronic pain often go hand in hand. Hypnotherapy has been used to relieve pain for hundreds of years. Hypnotherapy has been used to relieve IBS symptoms for over 35 years.
IBS & ANXIETY
If you live with IBS, chances are you’ve been told: “It’s all in your head.” It’s not. But the truth is more complex — and far more empowering.
IBS is not psychological — but the mind does play a role.
IBS & TRAUMA
Your gut remembers what your mind has forgotten.
For 60% of people with IBS, the root cause isn't what they're eating—it's what they've experienced.
If you've tried every diet, supplement, and medication but still struggle with IBS, this might be the missing piece of your puzzle.

The Hidden Loop Between Worry, Anxiety, and IBS
For IBS Awareness Month, I’ve written a new article on a pattern I see often, but which is rarely explained clearly:
The loop between digestive worries, IBS-specific anxiety, and anticipatory anxiety.
Many people with IBS are not only dealing with symptoms.
They are also dealing with:
fear of being caught out
fear of urgency, bloating, or pain at the wrong time
fear of the anxiety that symptoms can trigger
