Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is becoming one of the most common issues people present to Hypnotherapy for. Although there can be many factors behind suffering the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, medical research has proven that stress is one of the most common. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), which approve therapies, medicines, and practices for the NHS have now given official approval for the treament of Irritable Bowel Syndrome through Hypnotherapy. 

 

Hypnotherapy sessions surrounding Irritable Bowel Syndrome will focus upon removing the stress factors and increasing tolerance so that the negative impacts can be reduced thereby improving the health of the bowel and related physiology.

Hypnotherapy treats many different conditions that appear to have origins more in the physical world than in the mind. For example skin conditions, breathing conditions and being overweight. However Sheffield City Hypnotherapy acknowledges that although there can be physical and biological factors behind the issues that people present with, there is nearly always a psychological element behind it, and it is this that provides our focus when formulating our hypnotherapy sessions. 

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a good example of a psychological element being behind a physical symptom. It is true that the stomach and intestine can be intolerant and have allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs and this can cause the inflammation, pain and uncontrolled toileting assciated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but even this allergy element can be linked to the immune and nervous system which has a close relationship with our thoughts and feelings.

Stress is often the main factor behind people developing Irritable Bowel Syndrome. As shown in the NICE studies hypnotherapy is effective in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome and this is because hypnotherapy can help us identify, focus upon and shift our perception of stressful factors. The fact that we have a technique available to us that not only treats the root cause of the condition but also diminshes the need to rely upon conventional medicines is an option that can improve the lives of many sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
