Even though there are numerous treatment available, hypnotherapy remains the best IBS treatment and the benefits remain for years. Although experts think hypnotherapy should be used in severe or refractory IBS, it should be offered to everyone with IBS

If you know how hypnotherapy works, you will understand why it is so effective in the treatment of IBS. 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. 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. 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. 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. There are, however, several case studies where the results are outstanding.

The hypnotherapist take away negative messages and replace them with positive ones in the Mind of IBS sufferers. Does it not makes sense, therefore, to have hypnotherapy as soon as you can?
