Irritable Bowel Syndrome is considered a chronic disorder. The symptoms of which can include episodes of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation, as well as fatigue.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very common complaint that tends to be twice as common in women than men. The cause of IBS is unknown, however the condition can begin during periods of emotional and psychological stress, and it is well known that stress and anxiety can make the problem worse.

Any sufferer of IBS will tell you that it can control their whole life. Decisions about where to go, what to do, and for how long will depend very much on the severity of their symptoms at any particular time. Some people will perhaps experience stomach pain for a few days, whilst others can experience many symptoms at once which can be very debilitating, affecting their work, relationships and family life.

Up to 8 million people in Britain suffer with IBS symptoms, and finding treatment can be difficult with some GP’s not really knowing how to treat it effectively.

Hypnotherapy has been recognised to help significantly with IBS symptoms, reducing anxiety and stress, therefore allowing the individual to cope better and feel more relaxed.

As IBS is commonly associated with emotional tension, difficult situations or stressful events, it would make sense to deal with these emotional, psychological or nervous issues that could be aggravating the condition.

Going through a course of Pure Hypno-Analysis is very effective as it deals with the causes of emotional and psychological stress, therefore reducing the possibility of experiencing any symptoms of IBS.
