IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy (GDH)
1st July 2023, 9.30am – 4.30pm
£145
Live on Zoom
Gut-directed hypnosis (GDH) addresses the “miscommunication” between the brain and gut. A trained therapist guides a person into a focused state of awareness while feeling deeply relaxed. This approach uses hypnosis, suggestion, guided-imagery and relaxation to produce a therapeutic effect.
People with IBS present with varying symptom profiles, most commonly 'diarrhoea predominant', 'constipation predominant' or alternating symptom profiles. IBS most often affects people between the ages of 20 and 30 years and is twice as common in women as in men. Prevalence in the general population is estimated to be between 10% and 20%. Recent trends indicate that there is also a significant prevalence of IBS in older people. The aims of both CBT and hypnotherapy are to enable self-reliance for the suffer, and could enable them to take back control of their own body.
NICE Clinical Practice Guidelines for IBS in adults
February 2008 (updated April 2017)
"RECOMMENDATION Referral for psychological interventions (cognitive behavioural therapy [CBT], hypnotherapy and/or psychological therapy) should be considered for people with IBS who do not respond to pharmacological treatments after 12 months and who develop a continuing symptom profile (described as refractory IBS)."
Page 464
Hypnotherapy routinely produces long-term positive results in over 80% of the people who use it.
"Nine out of ten 10 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) benefited from hypnotherapy, and 4 in 10 saw their symptoms clear up completely, according to new research by leading UK gastroenterologist Professor Roland Valori."
Telegraph.co.uk, Rebecca Smith
Researches from the University of Southampton have found that psychological therapy is better at relieving IBS symptoms than drugs.
In the largest study of its kind, researchers at the University of Southampton and King’s College London carried out a trial involving 558 patients who had ongoing significant IBS symptoms despite having tried other IBS treatments for at least a year.
The findings, published in the journal GUT, show that those who received psychological therapy were more likely to report significant improvement in severity of symptoms and impact on their work and life after 12 months of treatment compared to those who only received current standard IBS treatments. - April 2019

The Oxford School of Hypnotherapy

The Oxford School of Hypnosis offers a range of approved CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses which count towards the GHR's annual CPD requirement for continued registration.
The aim of the masterclasses is to enable qualified hypnotherapists and other therapists experienced in the application of applied hypnosis, to add to their existing skills and knowledge.
 

Notes:
1. Each CPD course requires the student to complete a homework assignment after studying the course notes. This typically consists of an analysis of a hypothetical case study.
2. The study hours are to be used as a guideline, and are in addition to the time required for completing the homework assignment.
3. Students should only enrol on a CPD course if the topic has not already been included on their practitioner level course.
4. Maximum time allowed for completion and submission of a homework assignment is one year, in order to receive a certificate.
5. Email/WhatsApp support is available to students enrolling on any of the listed online CPD courses.
6. The course notes are comprehensive, and there are no accompanying CDs or mandatory reading lists.

7. I am available for teaching CPD courses on behalf of other training schools and to groups.

8. Refunds are not available for online courses. Even if the document is emailed back, deleted and the Recycle Bin emptied, it remains on the hard drive of the computer, and can be accessed at any time, by anyone.
9. Prospective students are advised that they read the CPD course summaries, and ask questions or seek clarification, and only enrol on a course when they are fully satisfied that it would be suitable for them.

10. All CPD course notes are comprehensive and self-explanatory. However, students enrolling on a CPD course have the option of an extra hour on ZOOM for an additional £20. This is not mandatory.

Hypnotherapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Online CPD Course

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a health problem affecting a significant percentage of the population in the West. Research has shown that hypnotherapy proves an effective adjunct to the IBS treatment protocol. In the UK this is mainly in the form of "gut-directed hypnotherapy" aimed specifically at gut activity. In addition, hypnotherapy can be used to address a host of psychological, emotional and quality-of-life issues associated with the illness.
Main topics covered:
* What is "gut-directed hypnotherapy"?
* Hypnotherapy as an adjunct for IBS treatment
* Hypnotherapy intervention for IBS
* Physical and mental relaxation
* Teaching the client self-hypnosis
* Hypnotherapy for symptom control - discomfort, diarrhoea, constipation
* Teaching the client behavioural techniques for self-control
* Addressing quality of life issues associated with IBS, e.g. sleep, confidence issues, body image, anxiety and stress
* Working towards positive goals
