Mind + Gut 6 Week Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy

We believe life should be filled with love and laughter– not discontented stomachs and unhappy bowels. Unfortunately, around one in five adults experience the unpleasant symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at some time. The Mind + Gut 6 Week Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy Program is the first of its kind worldwide to provide scientifically proven techniques using hypnotherapy to assist in the management of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with IBS.

What does the science tell us?
• Gut-directed hypnotherapy reduces overall gastrointestinal symptoms in people with IBS by 70-80%
• It reduces levels of anxiety and depression and improves quality of life
• Gut-directed hypnotherapy is just as effective as the low FODMAP diet, the primary dietary approach applied in people with IBS
• It is not a therapy that should be saved for people with psychological co-morbidities and has been shown to be equally as beneficial in people who have no issues with stress, anxiety or depression
• The improvements observed after a course of gut-directed hypnotherapy are maintained in the long-term

What does the app include?
• An introduction to IBS
• The role of the brain-gut axis on IBS symptoms
• Why and how gut-directed hypnotherapy works
• 6 gut-directed hypnotherapy recordings
• Relaxation and deep breathing techniques
• Psychoeducation

Why did we develop this App?

• The contents of this App are supported by scientific research and have been designed to reflect what is covered in one-on-one sessions in our clinic
