Hey guys, I am looking forward in a few weeks to try out Hypnotherapy. I really don't know much about it, or know anyone who has done it in the past. Is it a one session deal? And what do they really do? Any information would be great =]

Hi AllStrz ive tried hypnotherapy a few years ago. I guess I should have followed it through with a couple of extra sessions but couldnt afford it at the time. As a result of the session I did come home with a vision and a mantra which I use whenever Im in urgnt need and I think it does help although you need to believe that its going to work too.Good luck - looking forward to hearing how it goes. Im have just started cognitive therapy for my IBS so fingers crossed things will be more managable for me too.

I checked ibshypnosis.com, but i am just curious if anyone could recommend someone they've been too in New York City?

You might contact the mind body digestive center in New York.http://www.mindbodydigestive.com/It does take more then one sesssion and the therapist should have knowledge about IBS. There is actually protocols using HT for IBS.Have you posted to the HT forum here?http://ibsgroup.org/groupee/forums/a/frm/f/72210261

I'm looking into hypnotherapy now. Trying to get into a place in St. Louis. There website states that hypnosis treatment has resulted in lasting improvement in 80-95% of patients and that other approaches, such as medication and dietary changes, though helpful have lower success rates. I'm tried of all the meds. not doing anything to help.https://www.slbmi.com/pain_management/irratable_bowel.htm

It helped me a lot. At the beginning it wasn't noticable... but after a month or two I started to feel and see the difference. I believe it's true that it helps to 80% of people... the rest they are sceptivcal too much.

Wouldn't it be great if health plans covered more alternative medicine. So sad.
