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 the commonest gastrointestinal illness and affects as much as 20% of the global population. It is the most common condition seen by Gastroentologist. It is a heavy burden on Health Providers and Health Professionals. Industry loses billions every year from absenteeism and the sufferer can be in discomfort for many years.

There are numerous treatments available for Irritable Bowel Syndrome but the treatment that produces the best long term benefits is hypnotherapy. Most experts think this type of treatment should be reserved for severe or refractory IBS. If fact it works better in newly diagnosed 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. Thus is why visualisation in Theta state is so effective. In the REM state, dreams occur and visualisation during REM sleep is no different from a dream. At the time it is very real. In REM state the brain cannot differentiate what is real or just imagination.

In the Theta state, post-hypnotic suggestions and visualisation is very real. Negative information can be replaced by positive ones by the hypnotherapist in the Theta state. Your IBS symptoms will only improve when there is change in expectation and perception in your Subconscious Mind. If doubts creep into the mind of this IBS sufferer, relapse is likely. If the IBS sufferer believes the symptoms of IBS will return, it will.

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. In numerous cases, however, 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. Does it not makes sense, therefore, to have hypnotherapy as soon as you can?
