Have you ever wondered what is gut directed hypnotherapy?

Well, in these three special podcast episodes, I explain what gut directed hypnotherapy is and how it can help restore the natural balance of the gut and free you from the misery of IBS.

What is Gut Directed Hypnotherapy?

In this episode of the Aanya Wellness channel podcast, I join the channel to discuss what is gut directed hypnotherapy and how it can help people navigate IBS. I specialise in helping individuals suffering from IBS and help them reclaim their lives through the evidence-based gut directed hypnotherapy technique.

I share my own personal journey with IBS, which led me to become a hypnotherapist. I had IBS about 20 years ago while working in the education sector. After suffering for five years, I tried hypnotherapy and experienced complete relief within about six sessions. This experience inspired me to become a hypnotherapist and help others with IBS.

The discussion explains what gut directed hypnotherapy is and how it can be used to treat various conditions, including IBS, anxiety, phobias, and pain management.

The conversation also covers the challenges of living with IBS, including the diagnostic process, lifestyle limitations, dietary restrictions, and the impact on mental health. IBS can be a debilitating condition that affects many aspects of a person’s life.

Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into IBS and how gut directed hypnotherapy can offer relief and improve the quality of life for those living with this condition.

Podcast Episode 1.

The Role of The Gut Brain Axis in IBS

In this episode, I discuss Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and its connection to the gut-brain axis.

I explain how stress and anxiety can trigger the fight-or-flight response, which negatively affects gut function. I emphasise the importance of balanced gut flora and express concerns about the potential impact of ultra-processed foods and additives on gut health. I also advocate for gut-directed hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and meditation to alleviate stress and restore gut function.

Podcast Episode 2.

Finally, I highlight the role of the vagus nerve in gut-brain communication and explain the importance of positive thoughts and how it can promote gut relaxation and improve IBS symptoms.

Your secret weapon against IBS: Gut Directed Hypnotherapy

In this interview, I explain what is gut directed hypnotherapy and how it can be used to treat IBS.

I dispel the misconception that hypnotherapy is mind control, stating that it is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. I explain that hypnotherapy involves accessing a mental state where the client is more receptive to suggestions, and by relaxing the critical faculty of the brain, clients can accept ideas that they might have previously rejected. This allows them to experience a different reality and shift their thinking patterns.

I emphasise that hypnotherapy is not merely a placebo effect, citing research and anecdotal evidence to support its efficacy in treating IBS. I also discuss the concept of gut-directed hypnotherapy, which specifically focuses on restoring normal gut function.

Finally, I offer advice on finding the right hypnotherapist, stressing the importance of rapport and specialisation in IBS.

Podcast Episode 3

Why gut directed hypnotherapy is the best natural IBS treatment

One of the most surprising facts about hypnotherapy is that it improves all IBS symptoms, including colonic and non-colonic, which is not the case for IBS medication.

It will not come as any surprise, given the importance of the gut-brain axis, why hypnotherapy is the best natural IBS treatment.

Doctors can recommend gut-directed hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques when someone is not responding to IBS medication.

Many people enjoy hypnotherapy so much that they would like hypnosis to continue beyond the treatment plan.

This is why I teach my client’s self-hypnosis so they can continue to enjoy the benefits of hypnosis.
Self-hypnosis is like any other skill: the more you practice, the better you get at it and the greater the rewards.

Hypnotherapy has been used as a natural IBS treatment for over 30 years at the University of Manchester to treat IBS.
The world-leading IBS expert, Professor Whorwell, has been using gut-directed hypnotherapy with his patients as a natural IBS treatment.

Many studies have shown that gut-directed hypnotherapy can help restore the natural balance and calm of the autonomic nervous system and is one of the main reasons it is such an effective natural IBS treatment.

Hypnotherapy is considered to be a highly effective treatment for stress and anxiety and a large number of studies have shown that hypnosis is an effective natural IBS treatment.

Hypnotherapy uses a state of deep relaxation to stimulate your body’s autonomic nervous system brake.
It helps reset and restore the natural balance of your autonomic nervous system.

The muscles of your gut start to relax when you are in a state of deep relaxation.
This allows food to move through the digestive system in a normal way.
The painful cramps and other symptoms begin to decrease when the digestive system starts to work normally again.

Why gut directed hypnotherapy is the best natural IBS treatment

So in summary, gut-directed hypnotherapy is the best natural IBS treatment because it helps change the way the brain and the gut communicate with each other, which calms your digestive system so that it can work more effectively and help you lead a normal life, eating the foods you want to eat.

Hypnotherapy helps you deal with your stress and anxiety which can either be the cause or an IBS factor.
This is why hypnotherapy is such a powerful natural IBS treatment in my opinion.
