How Does It Work?

Gut directed hypnotherapy is what a hypnotherapist will use to work with you to identify negative thoughts and beliefs that may be contributing to your digestive issues. Once these thoughts and beliefs are identified, the hypnotherapist will help you to reframe them in a more positive light. For example, if you have negative associations with certain foods, the hypnotherapist may help you to realize that these foods are not actually harmful.

In addition to working on your thought patterns, the hypnotherapist will also teach you self-hypnosis techniques that you can use at home to ease your symptoms. These techniques may involve deep breathing or visualization exercises designed to relax your mind and body.

While there is no scientific evidence to support the efficacy of this therapy, there is anecdotal evidence that it may be helpful for some people. If you are considering this treatment option, it is important to go into it with realistic expectations.
