IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome
I see many clients at my Maghull, Merseyside, Birkdale, Southport, Longton, and Preston clinics for IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is a heterogeneous condition with varying severity and sypmtomology. With conventional medical treatment being of little proven benefit. The fact is that holistic approach to medical and psychological care is required in the management of IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Hypnotherapy is non intrusive, safe, comfortable and is cost effective and complementary to use alongside mainstream medicine, some in the profession would in this case argue 'alternative' since the medical profession are generally at a loss with this condition.
Sufferers considering hypnosis generally do so as a 'last resort' rather than a first approach after diagnosis. The medical profession are becoming more aware of the benefits of hypnotherapy.
Just dealing with the symptoms of IBS is not enough, the individual has to learn to rebuild internal energy, many sufferers feel drained emotionally, life issues and responsibilities continue to deplete inner emotional strength, leading in some cases to anxiety or even some forms of depression. Before the sufferer even thinks of working through the IBS, they invariably need an emotional 'top up', they need their batteries charged, after perhaps years of pain and discomfort, of being told by various medical professionals that there is nothing that can be don, even though intrusive and sometimes painful examinations have been undergone, many sufferers feel emotionally drained. Work, family, relationships, social life and love life can be eroded and strained. Confidence and self esteem is often low, and the ability to see things in perspective is greatly reduced. Therefore to tell a sufferer that they must do this or that, without preparing for the journey is almost certain failure.
Benefits of Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy can increase self-esteem, confidence, and allow the sufferer to begin a journey of self improvement and management, by changing their thoughts, changing negative thoughts and feeling for positive one. and thereby equip themselves emotionally to move away from the symptoms and thoughts of IBS and begin moving forward, a journey that many sufferers have or are taking at this moment, with positive changes.
