IBS Hypnotherapy

Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Discomfort? 

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects millions of people, causing a range of uncomfortable symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. Living with IBS can be frustrating and often impacts your daily life, from social activities to work commitments. Despite trying various treatments and lifestyle changes, many find that their symptoms persist, leading to ongoing discomfort and anxiety. Hypnotherapy for IBS offers a unique approach to managing IBS by addressing the mind-body connection that plays a crucial role in this condition.

Through gut directed hypnotherapy hypnotherapy, you can gain greater control over your digestive system and alleviate the symptoms of IBS. The subconscious mind has a powerful influence on bodily functions, including gut health. Hypnotherapy works by reducing stress and anxiety, which are known triggers for IBS, and by helping to reprogram your body’s response to these triggers. This approach not only eases the physical symptoms but also helps you manage the emotional impact of living with IBS.

At London Hypnotherapy & NLP, we use a combination of hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and coaching techniques to tailor a treatment plan specifically for your needs. Our goal is to help you regain control over your digestive health and improve your overall quality of life.

How Hypnosis Solves These Issues

Chronic Abdominal Pain and Discomfort

Hypnotherapy is an effective way of lessening the pain and discomfort associated with IBS as it relieves stress and in turn normalises the functioning of the nervous system. The techniques of hypnotherapy include guided relaxation and suggestion, therefore hypnosis can minimise the pain and offer permanent relief.

Bloating and Excessive Gas

Hypnotherapy can help to combat complaints such as bloating and excessive flatulence since hypnosis can help to improve digestion and decrease the tension in the digestive tract which is responsible for these common complaints. This therapy makes your body have a more relaxed reaction to food as well as other stimuli resulting in less bloating and gaseous conditions.

Irregular Bowel Movements, Including Diarrhoea and Constipation

Constipation and/or diarrhoea are main symptoms of IBS. Specifically, hypnotherapy normalises the gut-brain axis which is responsible for bowel activity, making bowel movements more comfortable and more frequent. This can go a long way in decreasing incidence rates of diarrhoea and constipation.

Anxiety and Stress Related to IBS Symptoms

It is perfectly understandable that any type of stress or anxiety will aggravate an IBS condition. Management of these psychological factors is achieved by putting the client into deep relaxation and helping them to manage stress better. When stress is reduced you may find the symptoms of IBS are less severe or even disappear completely.

Fear of Eating Certain Foods Due to Potential Triggers

A fear of potential triggers undermines your ability to consume some types of foods leaving you with a poor nutritional intake. Hypnotherapy changes the attitude towards food and thereby lifts anxiety and fear when thinking about eating and helps to consume a variety of foods without symptoms again.

Disruption of Daily Activities Due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome Flare-Ups

Depending on the severity, irritable bowel syndrome flare-ups can affect your lifestyle since you cannot lead a normal life in the way that you used to. Hypnotherapy enables you to control the symptoms and reduce flare-ups while helping you to lead a normal life without fear of embarrassment.

Difficulty Managing IBS-Related Fatigue

Fatigue is a common symptom of irritable bowel syndrome, often caused by the physical and emotional toll of the condition. Hypnotherapy helps you manage this fatigue by promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality, leading to increased energy levels and better overall health.

Emotional Distress Caused by the Unpredictability of IBS

The unpredictability of IBS can lead to significant emotional distress. Hypnotherapy helps you develop a more positive mindset and reduces the anxiety associated with not knowing when symptoms might strike, giving you a greater sense of control over your life.

Strained Social and Professional Relationships Due to IBS Symptoms

IBS can strain your social and professional relationships, as symptoms may cause embarrassment or limit your participation in activities. Hypnotherapy helps you manage symptoms more effectively, boosting your confidence and allowing you to engage more fully in social and work settings.

Is cramping and abdominal pain getting too hard to deal with?

I only see clients for as long as I need to, rarely do I need to see anyone longer than 2 to 3 sessions. Clients have reported much lower emotional responses towards their IBS after a single session.
