The Most Effective Complementory Treatment For IBS

By: Roseanna Leaton

IBS is an uncomfortable and debilitating condition. It is also unpredictable. You never know when it is going to be at its most vigorous or when it is going to calm down. The symptoms of IBS vary from person to person and from day to day. There is no single IBS cure which can be handed out by your GP and will work for the majority. Not everyone agrees as to its cause, let alone its cure. This is extremely frustrating for the medical profession whose job it is to cure such symptoms; but it is 1000 times more frustrating, uncomfortable, embarrassing and aggravating for the sufferer. IBS sufferers have a choice in their own approach to curing their IBS. You can, as we have as a society been conditioned to do, simply just keep going back to your GP and asking for something different, in the hope that something will eventually work. This is however a very passive approach and you tend to get more and more demoralized with each failed "cure". Your expectation of a cure lowers, and this too has a negative impact, lowering the chances of successful treatment. You may ask how your expectations can have an impact on what is clearly a medical treatment. But your mind and body are intrinsically linked, evidenced frequently in what we all know as the "placebo effect". Your expectations do shape your reality in everything in life, and definitely in your response to medical treatment. All research scientists and drug companies know what a major effect the placebo has and they have to take this into account when developing new drugs. We, the patients, should also bear the placebo effect in mind, and use it to our advantage. If you recognize that your expectation of a successful cure for IBS is waning, then you need to do something about your attitude and expectations. You need to encourage a belief that this treatment will work, and that your IBS will be cured. On the face of it, you may think that this is impossible, especially if you have tried numerous treatments already and none of them have worked. But it is possible to take a step back and to see things from a different angle, with the help of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation which also allows access to your subconscious mind, effectively bypassing the "critical" aspect of your conscious mind. You can get past the negative pattern of thought which has become habitual as a result of previous failures in your treatment of IBS. With hypnosis you can also make suggestions which build up an expectation of success. You can build your belief that this treatment will indeed work and your IBS will be cured, once and for all. This, as I said earlier, is really important. What you expect to happen is most likely to happen; you are no longer inadvertently creating a mental battier to a successful cure, and instead you are opening your mind to the possibility (and probability) of your successful IBS cure. This mind and body interaction, needless to say, applies to all medical treatment, not just to that of IBS. It is also interesting to note that the use of hypnosis and visualization in itself has been found to be one of the most successful treatments of IBS. Whilst in hypnosis your mind can be guided to visualize your digestive system flowing as it should be, and these visualizations in turn send messages throughout your cells to do exactly this. You may think that this sounds far-fetched, but it has in fact been scientifically proven that every mental event triggers neurotransmitters in your brain which send messages throughout your entire organism. Hypnosis is indeed a successful treatment for IBS, and hypnosis downloads are available instantly in your own home. Thus hypnosis can be used in different ways to treat your IBS. You could use it to create an expectation that your medical treatment will work, and that your pills or potions will cure your IBS. You could also further empower yourself by visualizing a free flowing and comfortable digestive system. Hypnosis downloads provide a successful complementary treatment for IBS, and the great thing is that you have nothing to lose; there are no nasty side effects at all.

Do You Want to Stop Getting Angry or to Stop Swearing?

By: Roseanna Leaton

I was watching a couple of episodes of "Fawlty Towers" last night and was struck as always by John Cleese's ability to portray extreme frustration in a really funny manner. Everyone these days seems to have a shorter fuse than in the past. Is this because we are less controlled or because the way in which we live our lives inevitably leads to more frustration, more anger and more swearing?

I wrote an article a few years ago about the number of people who do "Basil Fawlty impressions" whilst on the golf course. This is a clear case of your own thoughts and expectations leading to tension, frustration and anger. No-one else has caused this pressure; the golf course and the weather are not conspiring together to destroy your day. You created your own anger through your own thoughts, and so if you want to stop getting angry on the golf course you have to learn to control your thoughts.

Then there’s the number of "road rage" cases these days. I even noticed a couple of years ago a special hotline being advertised for people to call to complain about the number of traffic cones on the motorway; apparently this service was available to try to let drivers vent the anger and frustration which they were experiencing as a result of road works. Too many accidents were being caused by angry drivers either not paying attention to their driving or just becoming too angry to drive competently.

This is what happens when you become angry; you become incompetent because your anger stops you from thinking clearly. A red mist does quite literally take over your mind - the higher cortical regions of your brain are effectively bypassed as the primitive emotional regions take over. It is important to learn how to change state, to be able to step back from this emotional fog to then be able to once again think clearly and productively.

Not only is it noticeable how many people seem to get angry at the slightest thing, it is also noticeable how freely so many of us swear. I have even had client’s book hypnotherapy sessions to aid them in stopping swearing because swearing has become such an automatic habit. I'm glad that these people had the presence of mind to take steps to change their habit. It is not nice to be the person on the receiving end of anger, frustration or swearing, but neither is it comfortable or good for the health and well being of the person whose temper is bubbling over.

It has been shown that water subjected to swearing or angry tonality will form ice crystals which are uneven and jagged, whilst water subjected to calm words and tonality form beautiful, symmetrical and delicate crystals. Considering that the human body is made up of a rather large percentage of water, can you imagine the impact upon your own health and well being if you waste your time and energy on anger, tension, frustration and swearing?

If you want to stop swearing or to stop getting angry then you need to learn to control your mind and this can be done with the help of hypnosis downloads. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation and in learning hypnosis you learn how to change state in an instant. Hypnosis allows access to your subconscious mind and so you can change instinctive patterns of behavior, or habits, easily and effortlessly.

Allowing yourself to get angry is a learned habitual response. Allowing yourself to swear is also a habit which you have leaned. Hypnosis downloads can be used at home to quickly and easily change habits. It’s better for your health and well being to learn to control your anger, and also better for everyone around you.

The Link Between NLP and Hypnosis

I was standing in a queue the other day and overheard a snippet of conversation between two gentlemen. One was describing Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to the other and was very enthusiastically mentioning the ways in which it can be used to train your brain to achieve different outcomes. He was clearly very keen on NLP and had fully grasped its potential to help achieve success in almost everything you might wish to do.

I heartily agree with this gentleman. NLP offers the human race an amazing set of mental tools or mental skills which can be applied easily, quickly and most importantly, they are powerfully effective. What piqued my curiosity was his answer to a question posed by his friend, namely "isn't NLP hypnosis?" He replied that NLP was completely different, a separate thing entirely. I have heard this response more than once, which made me wonder why so many people seem to want to deny the central part which hypnosisplayed in the foundation of NLP and the part which hypnosis continues to play in its application.

It was after all the work of Milton Erickson (world renowned psychotherapist and hypnotherapist) which formed the foundation of a lot of NLP. NLP in fact has a very close association with hypnosis. So why deny it? I have come to the conclusion that some people are afraid of the "mystical image" of hypnosis whereas NLP is "sold" as just something incredibly logical and thus has more appeal to the professional person's mentality. I can only conjecture as to the reason, and in reality I don't suppose it matters, other than the fact that it would be beneficial to everyone to realize that it is hypnosis which effectively "powers" NLP.

NLP has been described as the new science of personal achievement. It is a highly effective methodology based on the belief that all behavior has a structure and that this structure can be modeled, learned and changed. Neuro stands for the nervous system and how we use our five senses (see, hear, feel, taste and smell) to translate experience into both conscious and unconscious thought processes. Linguistic stands for the use of language in interpreting experiences and how we communicate those experiences. Programming refers to the fact that our thoughts, feelings and actions are simply learnt programs of habit which we can change should we wish to do so.

NLP recognizes the fact that our thoughts create our emotions and direct our actions, and therefore by changing how you think you can change how you feel and act. NLP is a model of how we understand and utilize human communication, behavior and experiences to achieve a specific outcome. It has evolved into an incredibly powerful set of techniques for achieving human excellence in both business and personal development. It is a very useful tool used in rapidly dissolving a phobia, or overcoming compulsions. It has extremely far reaching applications.

But you will usually find that NLP is applied in conjunction with hypnosis, because hypnosis is a state which allows access to your subconscious mind, the part of your mind where instinctive and automatic thoughts, beliefs, habits and behaviors are stored. Thus the principles of NLP are applied whilst in hypnosis so that these inner beliefs and habits can be changed. This is why I said before that it is hypnosis which gives NLP its power. You may see it from a different angle and say that NLP is what gives hypnosis its power, but few should deny that there is a very close link between the two.

How I got into hypnosis

As long as I can remember, I have been interested in hypnosis. I can remember checking out hypnosis books from the library when I was in grade school. I don't know what sparked this interst. I don't believe that I has a desire to control anyone. Of course, I had no idea what hypnosis was.

AS time went on, I recall reading an paying attention to things related to hypnosis. At the age of 37, I returned to college as a second semester freshman and got my Batchelor's Degree in Psychology and my Master's Degree in Counseling Services. I served a two year internship and went into private practice.

Sometime early in private practice, I saw an ad in a telephone book for hypnosis certification training i a town about 75 miles from where I lived. I called and made arrangements to take classes every Thursday for 200 hours of training. Eight hours a day.

The training was horrible. Ny license as a counselor allowed me to practice hypnosis but I thought I would be more comfortable getting certified. This particular instructor had his own agenda. He had problems with the whole mental health and nedical system I, myself, believe that both systems are broken but I was paying for training and not to hear the instructor pontificate. At least two different times I explained to him that I paid for training and if he was not able to provide that on that particular day, I could leave and come back nest week when he was prepated.

I completed the training and got my certification. I felt like I really didn't have a clue as to what hypnosis was all about. I started going to trainings and conventions ( my favorites were in Las Vegas ). I also read all the books I can find on hypnosis and search the web for relevent articles. That is the purpose of this blog - to share information of value to the publec and the professional.

Restless Leg Syndrome & Hypnosis

Can hypnosis help Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)? While this is not definitive proof, it does seem hopeful. I once did hypnosis for smoking cessation with a man who has Restless Leg Syndrome. He reported back to me that after the hypnosis, he had no more problem with RLS. This in only a one time occurance and as far as I know, I have never hypnotized anyone else with RLS. It does warrent further investigation.

By the way, did he stop smoking? Yes, for three days. He told me that he found out that his wife had wasted an amount of money that was approximately equal to the fee he had paid for the hypnoasis. He told her that he could waste money too and intentionally started smoking. No carvings, no other reasons than palin old spite.

Hypnosis Theory

I am a licensed counselor as well as a certified hypnotist. I have worked in the areas of substance abuse, mental health counseling, and for twelve years did sex offender counseling. As a result of these experiences, I have reached several theories of human behavior. I think that the most important issue for me is that the focus needs to be on behavior change.

It really makes no difference why the current behavior occurs. I have seen many people focus on the "why" of their behavior and be able to reach a good understanding of why they behave the way they do but still do not change the behavior. We need to work on behavior change.
