IBS hypnotherapy - it works

Hypnotherapy is effective in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and other gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.

Hypnotherapy for gastrointestinal health - or gut-directed hypnotherapy - addresses the 'miscommunication' between the brain and gut.

IBS and other GI problems are complex disorders with symptoms unique to each patient. Hypnosis is a brilliant way to tailor the treatment intervention according to the individual’s needs - and can also work to alleviate other occurring symptoms such as nausea and fatigue.

Systematic reviews and reports on hypnosis by the British Psychological Society, British Medical Journal, (UK) National Institute of Clinical Excellence, (US) National Institutes of Health support the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for IBS.

The British Psychological Society report findings: There is encouraging evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of hypnotherapeutic procedures in alleviating the symptoms of a range of complaints that fall under the heading 'psychosomatic illness.' These include - Gastro-intestinal complaints such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Anyone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome can benefit to a greater or lesser degree from gut-directed hypnotherapy. It could be you.

It's not about price it's about value

This week I had an inquiry from a person looking for help to relieve their IBS symptoms.

The person had had a look around this site and said they were interested. They went on to ask if given the current economic climate, I was prepared to discount the price of the program.

I politely said ‘no’, and explained why -

I price the program based on the value and results it delivers and not on the basis of time. A person who invests in the program isn’t buying 4.5 hours of my time, they are buying a lifetime of relief from their symptoms. How much that is worth in terms of enhanced health and happiness will be different for everyone, but in almost all cases will exceed the price of the program.

The program has been modelled on four of the most successful IBS Hypnotherapy programs. People who invest in the program can, when they fully commit to it, expect to achieve amazing results.

 For these reasons I do not discount the program.

What I do offer is a payment plan to help people spread their investment over 3 months. This is available on request.

The person who made the inquiry thanked me for my response and said they’d explore other options as a first step.

How hypnotherapy is helping people who suffer from IBS

It’s 2020 and are you resigning yourself to another year of living with your IBS symptoms?

Before you do you might want to give IBS hypnotherapy (also called gut-directed hypnotherapy) a go. It’s not a miracle cure, but multiple well-controlled studies, including one close to home,at Monash University, have shown that it improves gastrointestinal symptoms in people with IBS by 70-80% and these improvements are maintained in the long-term.

The Monash hypnotherapy study – led by Dr Simone Peters – wanted to consolidate findings by UK researchers suggesting the therapy was effective. Dr Peters is part of Monash University and the Alfred Hospital’s Department of Gastroenterology. Dr Peters says, “It was hugely surprising. We found hypnotherapy was incredibly beneficial.”

The Monash reserachers also found that:

  • hypnotherapy was effective psychologically, too – patients were less anxious and less depressed after esperiencing it.

  • a low FODMAP diet helps reduce IBS symptoms and that hypnotherapy is as beneficial as the low FODMAP diet. .

IBS hypnotherapy could mean the difference between another year in which IBS dominates your life and robs you of happiness, and a year in which you begin to enjoy the freedom being free of IBS brings.
