According to the American Psychological Association, three out of four women in the United States suffer from some form of stress. Stress can lead to a host of physical and mental health problems, chief among them Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine, and its symptoms can include abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. If you suffer from IBS, you know that managing your stress is crucial to managing your symptoms. And one of the best ways to manage stress is through self-hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation during which your subconscious mind is more open to suggestion. When you're in a state of hypnosis, you can tap into your innermost thoughts and feelings in order to make positive changes in your life. Self-hypnosis allows you to take control of your stress response and train your mind to respond differently to stressful situations. It's a safe, natural way to manage stress without the use of medication.
