Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Treatment With Hypnosis & Counselling Brighton Melbourne
Are you becoming housebound because you might have an IBS attack if you decide to go out?
Are you finding the longer you put up with Irritable Bowel Syndrome the more difficult it becomes to manage?
At my Brighton Psychotherapy Clinic I use proven hypnotherapy techniques to treat this debilitating syndrome.
You may be one of 15% of Australians who suffer from IBS. The most common IBS symptoms are bowel disorder, chronic abdominal pain & discomfort, bloating, frequent constipation and diarrhoea.* As you are probably aware, IBS can inhibit your quality of life and affect your relationships at work and home. You may even be avoiding social occasions because you are worried you won't always be able to get to a bathroom in time.
Because IBS can have a number of causes, finding the right IBS treatment can be difficult. This means drug related irritable bowel syndrome treatments often don't work or are very expensive. On the other hand, hypnotherapy has proved to be a successful treatment in up to 80% of IBS sufferers.

Hypnotherapy and IBS
It is well-established that hypnotherapy reduces the effects of stress, and that stress is major cause of IBS. IBS itself causes more tension and anxiety and further undermines your immune system and affects your health. It is crucial you learn how to break this vicious cycle. During hypnotherapy, you learn how to retrain and gain control of your IBS by changing the way your thought patterns currently control your anxiety and digestive activity. The bonus with hypnosis is there is no structural damage to the body.
I know it takes courage to request help. So taking the first step by making an appointment is very important. Call me now on 03 9530 6353 - You will find my approach non-judgemental and caring.
Mindfulness Therapy
A major contributing factor to your IBS is your anxiety about IBS. As with insomnia and worry, the more you resist, the more symptoms persist. The most effective way to begin to control IBS is to manage the fear of IBS. To help you with this I use Mindfulness Therapy. Mindfulness will help to calm your mind, increase your control and settle your digestive system.
How long will it take?
•The length of time you need to get your IBS under control will depend on how deeply rooted the problem is.
• Your willingness to work through the issues that are contributing to your IBS are important in determining the length of your treatment.
• The number of sessions can be determined once I discover all the contributing factors and issues, and just how committed you are to changing your mind habits and regaining control of your body.
• Usually after one or two sessions it is possible to estimate the extent to which the therapy is working.
I Treat You as an Individual
Because everyone is different, my therapy is flexible and draws on a wide array of tools in a combination of therapies including counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy(traditional and Ericksonian methods), NLP and Buddhist psychotherapy. My unique blend of Eastern and Western methods allows me to treat your specific problems. Research has shown improvement usually begins to occur quite early on in therapy. In the majority of cases people make huge life changes after resolving IBS
