Hypnotherapy is not only a treatment of stress, it is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Although in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, there is no abnormality of the gut, it is very distressing to the individual who has it. It is very common and figures show that as much as 20% of the global population has or had IBS. It is the most common condition seen by Gastroentologist. It is not just a heavy burden on the sufferer but to Health Professionals, the Health Providers and Industry.
There are numerous treatments available for Irritable Bowel Syndrome but the treatment that produces the best long term benefits is hypnotherapy. Although experts think hypnotherapy should be used in severe or refractory IBS, it should be offered to everyone with IBS
To understand why hypnotherapy is effective in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, you must understand how hypnotherapy actually works. When fully awake, your brain is at Beta brainwave state. During the trance state the hypnotherapist tries to drop the brainwave down to Theta.
You are hyper-suggestible at Theta brainwave State. In other words what ever the hypnotist says is likely to reach the Subconscious Mind because the filters that block contrary information is relaxed. In addition the reality generator in the REM sleep can be activated by the hypnotherapist. In the Theta state, visualisation becomes very very powerful. Visualisation in the REM state is not different from having a dream. At the time it is very real. The brain cannot differentiate real and imagined reality in the REM state.
In the Theta state, post-hypnotic suggestions and visualisation is very real. In Theta state, the hypnotherapist can gradually replace all the layers of negative information and replace them with positive ones. Your IBS symptoms will only improve when there is change in expectation and perception in your Subconscious Mind. Relapse after hypnotherapy develops when doubts creep into the mind of the IBS sufferer. Once the subject believes the symptoms are returning, it is like a green light for it to return.
As long as the subject continue to believe that he or she is in total control, the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome will stay away. All IBS patients should have hypnotherapy and the earlier the better. Well established sufferers have several layers of negative information in their mind and it will take longer to replace with positive info while newly diagnosed IBS patients will respond to only a few sessions because the hypnotherapist has less work to do. In refractory or severe IBS patients it could take more than 12 session of hypnotherapy and home self hypnosis to produce satisfactory results. There are, however, several case studies where the results are outstanding.
It is clear that whatever explanation experts can offer, the simplest one is that the hypnotherapist is replacing negative with positive in the Subconscious Mind. So does it not makes sense to have hypnotherapy at the earliest opportunity and save yourself years of distress from a condition where the large gut is normal?
