Help with other problems
Anxiety about exams, driving tests, dating, interviews, public speaking, work, leisure or sports performance can hold you back from giving your best and may even cause you to avoid certain situations. This limits your life and can stop you achieving your goals. Sleep problems are also very common and hypnotherapy can be very effective in changing this …for good.
Relief of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms
Research suggests that hypnotherapy can be effective for long-term improvement of IBS symptoms. A study carried out at Withington Hospital Manchester showed improvement in 71% of patients.
They also concluded that ‘the beneficial effects of hypnotherapy appear to last at least five years’ making it a ‘viable therapeutic option’ for treating IBS. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) published guidance for GPs and consultants, saying that hypnotherapy is an effective treatment which could be recommended for IBS. Gut-directed hypnotherapy, aims to reduce sensitivity in the gut by addressing any emotional triggers for your symptoms. For many people with IBS symptom flare ups go hand-in-hand with stress. Hypnotherapy could help break this cycle.
Relief of menopausal symptoms
Research studies have shown that clinical hypnotherapy can reduce many of the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, including hot flushes, brain fog, and fatigue. Clinical trials demonstrated that hypnotherapy was significantly better than a “structured attention” therapy approach and more effective than acupuncture, herbal supplements and yoga. Hypnotherapy for menopausal hot flushes often involves imagery like stepping into a cool sea or feeling a cool breeze then helping you to visualise that same body-cooling sensation when hot flushes strike in everyday life.
Hypnotherapy and other mind techniques can also help with:
Relaxation
Insomnia
Panic attacks
Alcohol or drug use
Habits e.g. nail biting and hair picking
Nervous tics
Teeth grinding
Assertiveness
Relationship issues
Social skills
And much more.
