IBS- Using Hypnosis To Treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome Successfully

Suffering from IBS or irritable bowel can be mentally and physically taxing on your body and your mind. You may have symptoms that grip your mid section so fiercely that they shut you down, and make functioning almost impossible. Bowel symptoms can include diarrhea, constipation or a combination of both.

Unfortunately, IBS symptoms for most people can last for years after they first appear, but for the most part IBS symptoms are not continuous, but intermittent. Studies show that 10-15 % of adults in the US suffer from IBS, and the cause is still not clear.

Treatments For Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Drug treatments have varied over the years, with the goal of relieving the symptoms IBS such as pain and diarrhea. However IBS is not a simple disease, and affects each individual differently.  The complexity of the disease has often left patients with treatment options that are ineffective or with unpleasant side effects perhaps worse than the disease itself. Disappointment and bowel pain are often the hallmarks of most pharmaceutical treatment options.

• Lotronex approved in 1999- Had been removed from market sighting health concerns
• Tegaserod, produced by Novartis under the name Zelnorm, was removed due to health concerns
• Lubiprostone (Amitiza), was approved by the FDA in 2008 and it is being used today to treat IBS sufferers
• Loperamide (Imodium) Aids in treating diarrhea
• Antidepressants – Can be used to help relieve the pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome.
• Narcotics for Pain

IBS Diet Can It Help?

Choosing and consuming the right foods (non gastrocolic reflexive) has been proven to help relieve many of the symptoms in IBS sufferers. Reach shows that many people who follow a diet that is free of highly spiced foods, avoid foods with high fat content, forgo foods with insoluble fiber, avoid coffee, avoid products with caffeine, stop drinking carbonated beverages, and abstain from drinking alcohol all together are much happier and feel healthier than  IBS suffers who do not.

There is still one problem that books will not tell you, and that is that individuals can keep a normal diet plan, eating all the right foods, but that does not mean that bouts of IBS will not strike. The trouble is you can eat one certain foods one day that do not bother you, but the next day you could be immovable in the bathroom suffering from near constant bowel pain, bloating, and other IBS symptoms.

Using Stress Reduction Methods To Treat IBS

Stress seems to be one symptom that IBS sufferers would love to get rid of. Many IBS sufferers state feeling overly stressed, but the causes can range from dealing with the pain of irritable bowel (IBS) itself, to family problems, or can simply be that IBS sufferers live more stressful lives. The most common psychological ailment suffered by people with IBS is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and an additional 20% suffer with depression.

Treating Stress is never simple as each person has different “stress triggers.”  The use of cognitive-behavioral therapy has been used with some IBS sufferers with some success, but at this time more research has been done on treating IBS with hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis To Treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Hypnosis as a treatment for IBS has been approved by the American Medical Association as a legitimate medical treatment since 1958.

There have been studies completed by Professor R. Valori where research on one hundred clinical participants showed 9 out of 10 IBS sufferers experienced significant relief of their IBS symptoms when treated with hypnosis. Four out of ten participants stated that hypnosis cured their IBS symptoms completely.

Other studies have shown an astonishing 80% of IBS sufferers treated with hypnosis therapy confirm they experienced significant improvement of their IBS symptoms that lasted upwards of two years after the last hypnosis treatment.

Hypnosis works to relieve the anxiety and depression that can worsen the symptoms of IBS including the abdominal pain, alternating constipation and diarrhea, and bloating. Hypnosis has many benefits, but one of the best is of course that it is drug free, and free of any drug related side effects. Safety, affordability and ease of use are other advantages that make it appealing as well.

Using self hypnosis MP3’s recordings that can be downloaded into an IPOD or other media device makes it very simple and easy to use this treatment in many locations, and makes it an easy choice for many IBS sufferers.

There is always the option of visiting a trained hypnotherapist in their office, but this is of course more time consuming and expensive. If you are someone who wants a more personal treatment plan this might be an option to investigate, but make sure you have a good feeling and trust the hypnotherapist for it to be effective. It is easy to download an IBS Hypnosis MP3 recording quickly and at an affordable price, but it will take some time and commitment to find a trained hypnotherapist you trust and feel comfortable with for treatments.

Hypnosis can reduce dementia symptoms

by ANI on July 29, 2008

in Health

Washington, July 29 (ANI): A report is out that hypnosis can not only reduce dementia symptoms, but as it turns out, also improve quality of life for people living with the condition according to a scientist at the University of Liverpool.

The study done by Dr Simon Duff, forensic psychologist, researched  how people suffering with dementia  who used  hypnotherapy compared to treatment being usted in mainstream health-care methods.

This study indicated that people living with dementia who had received hypnosis therapy showed an improvement in concentration, memory and socialisation compared to the other two treatment groups. In fact, hypnosis also improved relaxation, motivation and daily living activities.

“Over a nine month period of weekly sessions, it became clear that the participants attending the discussion group remained the same throughout. The group who received ”treatment as usual” showed a small decline over the assessment period, yet those having regular hypnosis sessions showed real improvement across all of the areas that we looked at, said Duff.

He added: “Participants who are aware of the onset of dementia may become depressed and anxious at their gradual loss of cognitive ability and so hypnosis which is a tool for relaxation can really help the mind concentrate on positive activity like socialisation.”

Now scientists will conduct further research to establish whether hypnosis maintains its effects on dementia over longer periods of time as the illness progresses.

Dr Dan Nightingale, co-author of the research and leading dementia consultant at the Abacus Clinic in Newark , added: “Evidence to date has shown that we can enhance the quality of life for people living with dementia through the correct use of hypnosis. We have now developed a course for clinicians who wish to incorporate hypnosis into health care plans.” (ANI)

Truth be told most people do not looking at blood. I worked as an RN for many years until I injured my back, and was unable to perform patient care.  Small amounts of blood I could deal with, but large amounts of blood is not normal, and sets of a fearful response in most people. For most individuals the response to blood is not a phobic response, but we will turn our heads, our pulse rate will increase, and we at times can become physically ill.

If you have a fear of blood, or hematophobia you are not alone, as many people have some type of fear response to blood. Self-hypnosis has been proven to cure phobias, read more, and watch the videos below.

Hematophobia

Overcome Your Blood Phobia with Hypnotherapy

Author: Peter Field

An intense fear of blood is a phobia that we treat fairly regularly here in our UK hypno-psychotherapy practice.

Like all other phobias, blood phobia is essentially an anxiety disorder.

The person suffering from a phobia of blood may very well sense that it is illogical, but this does nothing to help him or her to deal with it.

The thought or the sight of blood automatically triggers an irrational fear that seems to overpower the individual, psychologically and even physically.

It can produce a host of worrying symptoms such as dizziness, feelings of faintness, a sudden and rapid decrease in blood pressure, palpitations, dry mouth and nausea.

Medically speaking, blood phobia has several different names and is spelled in a variety of different ways: hemophobia, haemophobia, hemaphobia and hematophobia being the most common.

The actual causes of this phobia usually lie in the individual’s past.

At some period in the past, the subconscious has  linked or paired the thought or the sight of blood with feelings of extreme anxiety.

Most often this has occurred in childhood or in the adolescent years, although less frequently it may have taken place later on in life.

This may have happened directly – as a result of a traumatic experience involving blood such as an accident or medical procedure in which blood was drawn, an injection, blood transfusion or the like.

It may also have happened indirectly – through someone else’s negative experience that was witnessed by the individual him or herself. Or it may have been modelled on someone else’s fear and anxiety and so learned vicariously.

There is also the possibility that in some individuals there is a genetic component or predisposition to this phobia, since it can be prevalent in other members of the family.

In my own clinical practice and professional opinion, however, this can also be ascribed to the child’s ability to model this fear on the anxiety of parents and relevant others.

Whatever the cause, the fact is that this phobia can greatly affect and even jeopardise the person’s health.

Often the blood phobic individual will go to great lengths to avoid any situation or procedure that may cause blood to flow.

Doctors, nurses, hospitals, injections and other essential medical procedures may all be avoided, even when there is a real need for them.

In certain instances, hemophobia is also linked with a phobia of needles (trypnophobia) and/or a fear of death (thanatophobia).

Any treatment for the fear of blood also needs to take this into account. This is why when treating this fear, you need to work with a practitioner who has experience with this particular phobia.

The good news is that help is available.

Working with a suitably qualified and experienced advanced transformational hypnotherapist, it is possible to look back and to uncover the origins and causes of his phobia.

Once this is accomplished, the false belief that has been ‘programmed’ into the subconscious mind that blood equals anxiety can be neutralized.

In its place we can help the individual to experience feelings of calm and relaxation when thinking about or experiencing any circumstance that involves blood.

If you or someone you care about suffers from the fear of blood, blood phobia, also know as hemaphobia, hematophobia, hemophobia and haemophobia, then there really is something you can do about it.

Consult with a fully trained professional advanced transformational hypnotherapist who has experience in dealing with this phobia and begin the process of freeing yourself now.

Through the modern techniques of advanced hypnosis and hypnotherapy you can live your life as you were born to live it – free from the upset and anxiety when it comes to blood.

"Day to day living is stressful enough without adding the burden of a phobia, and when I say burden that is exactly what I mean. I too have suffered from phobias before finding hypnotherapy. Using hypnosis for phobias, I was able to cure my phobias easily with out any discomfort at all.

You may be snickering, or rolling your eyes in your head, but finally being free of my phobias is nirvana.

The heavy burdens of phobias weighed me down, stressing me, making me physically ill, but by using hypnotherapy I was given a new life.

A life where I do not spend my time wondering how I can avoid places that made me feel uncomfortable, or brought sheer terror to the point that I would be physically ill with; migraines, stomach problems, bowel problems, dental problems, and other physical problems that will leave a lasting impression on my life forever, and this is all  because I chose to ignore my fears rather than face them."

I want you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and phobias do not have to burden your life!

Life is too short to let fear hold you down!

Specific Phobias – How Do Phobias Affect Your Life?

by Bertil Hjert

The fight or flight response is our body´s natural way of protecting itself from the dangers of this world. If a wild grizzly bear is chasing you, you run. Your body does it automatically. If your child is drowning, you jump in after them. You don´t think about it, your body just goes into action.  

Your body determines whether it´s best to fight or react or run. For people who have this adrenaline surge triggered, it is normally in response to appropriate situations. For phobia sufferers, this response kicks into action inappropriately, triggering panic attacks. The anxiety episodes are so upsetting, that many people strive, regardless of the consequences, to avoid a repeat performance.

This is what keeps phobic´s from engaging in life; the fear. The extreme, unchecked and inappropriate response of their bodies is upsetting and humiliating and very few people want to knowingly expose themselves to an increased chance of a panic attack. Therefore, caution, no matter how silly or intrusive, is usually the most common path taken when confronting this problem.

Social phobia

Social phobia which is also referred to as social anxiety disorder limits a person´s social interactions and causes intense, uncomfortable sensations when a person is exposed to social situations. This problem can prevent you from speaking in front of others, attending cocktail parties or receptions or even eating in front of other people.

The fear for a sufferer is that they will be perceived as strange, stupid or completely crazy. These fears are often completely unfounded but still overwhelming and profound.

Social phobia can be generalized and extend to a wide array of social situations or it can be specific. A specific problem, that is fairly common, is paruresis. These sufferers find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to go to the bathroom in front of others or within earshot of anyone else.

Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is another common and potentially very serious condition. Agoraphobia is technically the fear of open spaces but it really is the fear of having a panic attack in a place or situation where you do not have help or assistance readily available.  Agoraphobia is a condition that frequently develops in panic attack sufferers because they are worried about going places or doing things where they will have an anxiety attack.

Agoraphobia sufferers fear leaving home or the places they are familiar with. They don´t want to be alone in tunnels, on bridges or in any exposed venue where help will be hard or humiliating to attain. In its most extreme form, agoraphobia sufferers will refuse leaving their home, terrified of what will happen to them if they do.  

The subjects that social phobia and agoraphobia suffers fear are common in a lot of people. Many people would prefer not speaking in front of a crowd; many people are afraid of bridges and tunnels and get nervous in these places. For most people these feelings are transitory and also easily conquered.  

They push those feelings aside and go on with their lives. They stumble through the presentation, the speech in front of the crowd, the drive across the bridge. What separates these people from anxiety sufferers is the intense desire and need to avoid these situations at all costs.

Taken to the extreme, avoidance can lead to loss of your job, disruptions in your family life and leading an unfulfilled and scared life. This is not an appealing way to live and every effort should be taken to address your fears. Finding relaxation outlets for your stress will be one great step forward in addressing the needs of your body and mind and ending your battle with apprehension, angst and depression.

 How Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis, hypnotherapy, hypnotize all the terms bring to mind a stage show where the hypnotist draws volunteers from an audience and then puts on show bending people to his will with funny antics, or perhaps a low budget movie where on of the actors has been hypnotized and is now on a killing spree. Take heart if you have a few misconceptions about hypnotherapy. You are not the only one. If you are considering hypnotherapy for your phobias you are have a few questions like:

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses the hypnotic state, which enables changes in perception and memory, a major increase in response to suggestion, and the potential for controlling many physiologic functions that are usually involuntary. Hypnotherapy principles create a trance like state using guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused thoughts to achieve a heightened state of awareness. The person’s concentration is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or unnoticed.

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy is used in psychotherapy (counseling), rather than a treatment in itself. It helps with psychotherapy because the hypnotic state allows people to explore painful thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. Hypnosis enables people to perceive some things differently, such as blocking an awareness of pain.

Hypnotherapy can be used in two ways:

• First Suggestion therapy — The hypnotic state makes the person better able to respond to suggestions. Hypnotherapy can help some people change certain behaviors, such as to stop smoking or stop nail-biting. It can also help people change perceptions and sensations, and is particularly useful in treating pain.

• Second Analysis — This approach uses the relaxed state to find the root cause of a disorder or symptom, such as a traumatic past event that a person has hidden in his or her unconscious memory. Once the trauma is revealed, it can be addressed in psychotherapy.

What are the benefits of hypnotherapy?

When an individual is in a hypnotic state they are or may be more open to discussion and suggestion.

Hypnosis can improve the success of overcoming many conditions, including:

• Addictions – Smoking, Alcohol
• Break Habits – Smoking, overeating,
• Depression
• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Pain Control
• Phobias, fears, and anxiety
• Post-trauma anxiety
• Sleep disorders
• Stop Neurotic Tendencies 
• Stress Reduction

Is hypnotherapy dangerous?

No, studies have shown that hypnotherapy is not a dangerous treatment option. Hypnosis does not control or result in brainwashing. A therapist, or using self-hypnosis CD’s or downloads cannot make a person do embarrassing things or something the person doesn’t want to do. Read more here at this link.

Does Self Hypnosis Work?

Yes, self hypnosis has been proven to be as effective for treating phobias as hypnotherapy treatments in a professional environment. However, if you are having dangerous thoughts due to depression, thoughts about harming yourself or others you should seek counseling immediately. Self-hypnosis CD’s and downloads are excellent for overcoming phobias, issues with self-esteem, to increase your job performance, losing weight, and other similar problems or issues.
