Hypnosis For IBS

Through the research of Peter Whorwell of Manchester University, it has been shown that hypnosis for IBS can be a very effective treatment. Using what’s called gut-directed hypnotherapy, your mind can be convinced that there is soothing sensation happening in your gut.#

If you have IBS, your mind and your gut are essentially misunderstanding each other. Using hypnosis, you can gently retrain how your brain and your gut communicate.

If you have had “near misses” in getting to the bathroom in the past, this can create a fear. You can fear that a bathroom is not within reach or even it is, that you won’t make it in time. This fear adds to the problem.

By using a self hypnosis audio regularly, you can dissolve the fear and imagine your gut being soothed at will so that you have better social experiences in future. Ultimately, the aim is that you simply never think IBS thoughts. You’ll also find that your ability to “hold” your urge to go to the toilet will improve. As you panic less, your sense of calm control increases.
