What is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Hypnotherapy is not only a treatment of stress, it is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very distressing condition yet there is no abnormality of the gut. 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. During hypnotherapy, the hypnotist attempts to create a trance state. The main intention is to put the subject into Theta brainwave state. Awake and alert you are at Beta state.
When you are at Theta brainwave state, you are hyper-suggestible. Suggestions from the hypnotherapist will reach the Subconscious Mind because the filters that block contrary information is relaxed. In addition in Theta state, the hypnotherapist has access to the reality generator of REM sleep. In the Theta state, visualisation becomes very very powerful. 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.
Visualisation and post hypnotic suggestions in Theta State in very effective. In Theta state, the hypnotherapist can gradually replace all the layers of negative information and replace them with positive ones. The benefits only result after there is change in belief, perception and expectation of your IBS. Relapse after hypnotherapy develops when doubts creep into the mind of the IBS sufferer. 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. It is more difficult to treat a well established IBS sufferer with symptoms lasting several years. 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. Does it not makes sense, therefore, to have hypnotherapy as soon as you can?
