Using hypnotherapy to beat IBSWritten by Sophie Lee
Hypnotherapy is one of best known and most widely used treatments for IBS, and can offer sufferers a drug-free solution to their symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain and bloating. There are now many hundreds of hypnotherapists who offer what is called “gut-directed hypnotherapy” for IBS, which takes general techniques of hypnotherapy and applies them directly to abdominal pain and digestive symptoms which IBS sufferers struggle with. This type of hypnotherapy has been clinically tested and found to be very helpful to many IBS patients. One of first studies of hypnotherapy for IBS was conducted by Dr Peter Whorwell, a leading expert on IBS and hypnotherapy in UK. A trial he conducted in 1980s found that a group of IBS sufferers who had failed to respond to other treatments showed dramatic improvements when treated with gut-directed hypnotherapy. Since then, other therapists have shown similar results. What hypnotherapy involves Hypnotherapy in a medical setting bears no relation to kind of stage hypnosis where volunteers are made to do ridiculous things in name of entertainment. In fact, patients remain entirely in control of their own actions, and are simply coaxed into a kind of deep relaxation state. While patients is in this state therapist will talk to you and make positive suggestions – one typical method for IBS is to ask you to place your hand over your abdomen and imagine that a healing warmth is flowing from your hand to your stomach.
