Constant flatulence, cramping abdominal pain and agonizing constipation can upset the gastrointestinal tract of many people and significantly impair their quality of life, especially if these conditions persist. Despite medical examinations, there are sometimes no organic findings for the complaints and the diagnosis is often irritable bowel syndrome. In such cases, intestinal hypnosis can help.
The psyche influences the stomach
Psychological stress is often the trigger for complaints in the gastrointestinal tract. The nerve cells in the intestinal wall, also known as the abdominal brain, play a decisive role here. In irritable bowel syndrome, the so-called gut-brain axis, which is responsible for the reciprocal interaction between the gut and brain, is disturbed. This is where intestinal hypnosis comes in to reprogram the gut-brain axis and regulate the disturbed signal perception.
The intestinal hypnosis procedure
Intestinal hypnosis can be performed under the guidance of specialized therapists. In contrast to the well-known show hypnosis, you always remain responsive during medical hypnosis. The rational mind retains an important role in the background to ensure that the subconscious mind is protected and can work effectively. Through medical hypnosis, the body learns to find its own resources and integrate them into everyday life. With the help of self-hypnosis and individual techniques, strategies can be learned to access these inner resources in everyday life and in stressful situations whenever they are needed.
