IBS

IBS is debilitating illness and affects many people very differently. But did you know that hypnotherapy is regarded as a key therapy in improving the quality of life of people suffering from IBS?

Hypnotherapy is a well researched and documented therapy – in fact a study published in the Lancet in 1987 showed that there was a 95% success rate with people suffering from classic IBS.

The current NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) recognise hypnotherapy as being as valuable a therapy as other psychological treatments such as CBT.

Why does hypnotherapy work so well with IBS?

• It is one of the most successful treatment approaches for chronic IBS. The response rate to treatment is 80% and better in most published studies to date.
• The treatment will often you if you have failed to get improvements with other method.
• It is a very comfortable and relaxing treatment – clients leave having enjoyed the treatment.
• It gives the power and control back to the client and has no negative side effects.
• The treatment sometimes results in improvement in other symptoms or problems such as migraine or tension headaches, along with the improvement in IBS symptoms.
• The beneficial effects of the treatment last long after the end of the course of treatment.

A course of treatment of IBS consists of suggestion therapy, analysis, CDs to listen to in between sessions, as well as stress management techniques. We can also integrate other therapies, such as reflexology into a course a treatment if it suits the client.
