Gut Directed Hypnotherapy with Nerva
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy as it’s used in treating medical conditions is different from stage hypnosis. It’s not about putting you into a trance and making you do specific actions. When it’s used to treat medical conditions it is about being in a deep meditative state (doesn’t have to be a full trance) and using positive visualizations and positive suggestions to bring about improvement in the targeted health concern.
Gut focus
And how does hypnotherapy fit in with the gut? The brain and gut have a direct, and strong, communication link – called the gut/brain axis. For patients with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) there is gut directed hypnotherapy that has been proven to be effective for helping to reduce symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating.
Nerva
Nerva is an app that provides gut directed hypnotherapy. It’s one of my favorites because it provides a clear, simple path for tapping into the amazing power of the gut/brain connection to help people feel better.
If you have IBS and you suspect you need something in addition to or instead of diet changes to help you out give Nerva a try!
