It is excellent, I’ve been using it for 4 years and it has really helped my IBS and gastroparesis, as well as my anxiety disorder. Very calming and relaxing to listen to. Thanks for addressing this topic.

It should not be a last resort…I think the biggest obstacle is that some providers and some patients are mystified by hypnosis–but from my experience, patients are very open to the idea–and it is helpful!

Is it because it’s new and ‘less proven’? Or is it so much more expensive?

Thank you in advance for any information you may share.

The results over time increase in effectiveness and I learned very useful information about causes for each area. Each session begins with useful information about the subject and then goes into the hypnotherapy.

I recommend this method. My doctor was also very encouraging about continuing this direction.
