NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy (646-537-1713) now offers hypnotherapy treatment and coping strategies for patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
IBS is no joke. The painful cramps, bowel issues, and anxiety about the next flare-up can completely disrupt your life. But what if you could learn new ways to manage your IBS symptoms?
That's exactly what the clinical psychologists Demi Maglio, Psy.D. at NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy aims to do.

At their Soho practice, psychologists use a combination of hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance-commitment therapy (ACT) to help patients like you overcome the psychological triggers, thought patterns, and habits that lead to IBS flare-ups.
The approach identifies and addresses the stressors in your life that activate digestion issues. Hypnotherapy is then used to promote deep relaxation, strengthen your mind-gut connection, and equip you with coping strategies.
The result? Fewer flare-ups, less digestive distress, improved bowel function, and a sense of control over your IBS.
You'll also develop tools to manage IBS-related anxiety and low self-esteem.
For many IBS sufferers, flare-ups seem to come out of nowhere. One minute you're fine, the next you're dealing with cramps, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, and more.
But the truth is, there are usually behavioral triggers that cause your symptoms to spike. You just may not be aware of them.
That's why hypnotherapy is so effective for IBS.
While relaxed, you'll explore your subconscious mind to uncover the stressors, thought patterns, behaviors, and experiences that activate your symptoms.
Once the triggers come to light, the psychologists help you reframe your thought processes so you can approach potential triggers without setting off a flare-up.
Being in a constant state of stress keeps your body on high alert. For IBS patients, this leads to frequent stomach problems.
Hypnotherapy interrupts this cycle by inducing deep relaxation.
"Dr. Maglio's use of hypnosis strengthens the mind-gut connection, crucial in managing IBS," states a spokesperson for the practice. "By using suggestion and relaxation techniques, she helps patients alter their perception of pain and discomfort."
By using positive suggestions and healing imagery while in a state of hypnosis, you'll learn how to actively relax your mind and body. This relaxed state also makes you more open to adopting helpful new thought patterns and habits.
There's growing evidence that poor communication between the brain and digestive system plays a role in IBS.
Hypnotherapy seeks to improve this vital mind-gut connection so signals can properly travel between them. Patients often find this brings a sense of control over digestive function.
By visualizing healthy digestion and using gut-soothing imagery during trance states, you can also reduce pain and discomfort.
IBS symptoms themselves, especially the unpredictability of flare-ups, can drive anxiety. Struggling with bowel issues, pain, and discomfort can also erode self-confidence.
Hypnotherapy equips patients with coping strategies to reduce anxiety over the condition itself. By addressing multiple causes and providing relief from symptoms, you'll likely experience less IBS-related depression.
With this innovative treatment, the psychologists at NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy target both the causes and symptoms perpetuating patients' IBS struggles.
"We believe that every person has the ability to change his or her life in a meaningful way," explained a spokesperson. "Most people just need a little help finding effective ways to bring about those changes. Through hypnosis, patients can uncover the unconscious reasons why they have failed to reach their goals. Furthermore, it will help them develop effective strategies that bring about desired changes."
