Stoptober Stop Smoking With Hypnotherapy

Stoptober is a government campaign to encourage people to stop smoking. 


Stoptober stop smoking campaign lasts for 28 days starting 1 October.

Healthy Audio fully supports the Stoptober stop smoking campaign. We been helping people to stop smoking for several years with our Start Afresh 28 self-help audio recording.   Developed to help the smoker to quit gradually over 28 days by using specific hypnotherapy processes and interlinked sessions. The structured sessions use our unique OPSIM or ongoing progressive session induction method. this is the system used in our IBS, Anxiety and other audio recordings


Start Afresh - Stop Smoking CD set - MP3 version discounted
Developed by award winning clinical hypnotherapist Michael Mahoney, an ex-smoker himself freed from a 50 a day habit.  The Start Afresh 28 stop smoking audio program, is an aid to becoming an ex-smoker, by an ex-smoker.

From experience, Mahoney knows people cannot be forced to stop smoking and they have to take part in the process. They have to take responsibility for themselves, and their health.  Stoptober stop smoking campaign goes someway in developing this awareness.
Over his many years in practice, Michael has worked with many smokers, who have developed smoking related illnesses, and then stopped with hypnotherapy, however they had lost their health by that time.
There is a simple equation in life. In fact there are several, but this one is appropriate for this example.  From the age of 18 we take legal responsibility for what we do in life.  However because it is an equation, there is the other side and that is from the age of 18 you also take responsibility for what you chose not to do!  So if you get a smoking related illness, you can’t blame anyone but yourself. So start saying yes to you, and no to smoking
.
As an ex-smoker, I remember what it was like to be frowned upon, being cajoled into stopping smoking, bullied, made to feel guilty, ostracised and over taxed on the cigarettes I purchased.
Society tells people it is difficult to stop smoking. Smokers expect it to be difficult. And by setting their mind to believe it is difficult they have failed before they even start.

They have no will-power they say. They have no perseverance they wail. They have no determination they plead. And they simply don’t believe they can do it. So they don’t try.

I gently point out that there do have will-power. They do have perseverance. They do have determination.  And they do have stubbornness. All those things they used when they chose to  become a smoker. They used will-power to become a smoker, perseverance, determination and stubbornness too. Smokers do not become smokers’ over-night, they have to practice.

They cough and choke on the smoke, they feel sick, they smell dirty and so they use their will-power, perseverance, determination and stubbornness until they have developed the smoking habit.
The Start Afresh 28 stop smoking program, takes all those things, and gently encourages the smoker, to use them to move back to becoming a non-smoker. It needs to become familiar being a non-smoker again, and it takes time. Through the structured sessions, the smoker is guided and encouraged, to this aim, over 28 days.

We are pleased the government has announced the Stoptober stop smoking campaign, and we hope many take it up. Our Start Afresh 28 stop smoking audio program is ready and waiting when smokers need want it.  Hopefully sooner rather than later, and we hope people make the choice to stop while they have their health.

The program is available on immediate MP3 download, and also limited CD set while stock lasts. And we are giving a Stoptober stop smoking discount too.

Hypnotherapy Training in Cheshire


 
As co-principal at Cheshire College of Hypnotherapy based in Warrington, I am delighted to announce the dates of two introductory seminars prior to the commencement of our Diploma Course in September.

The dates are Sunday 30th June & Sunday 21st July 1.30 pm – 4.30 pm and booking is highly recommended.

These free introductory seminars outline the structure of the diploma course, dispel the myths of hypnosis, show the benefits of hypnotherapy and describe the highly rewarding work of a professional hypnotherapist.

Michael Mahoney and Cate Todd
Held at our offices in Bold Street Warrington, with easy access via public transport and limited free parking, in addition to the above, it provides a great opportunity to ask all the questions you want to ask, and perhaps will answer many you have not even thought about.

Why train with The CCH?   There are many answers to this question.

Training with us, you will be working with two trainers, me and Cate Todd who between us have 47 years of in-practice and training experience. In fact we still see many patients each week, so our experience is always up to date.   

You don’t only get the classroom support; you get the benefit of all 47 years’ experience, free! We want you to succeed; the hypnotherapy profession is exciting, rewarding financially, and life changing for your clients and yourself.

 We work with GPs, consultants and other health care professionals, between us we have a wide and diverse skill-set to bring to our Diploma Course training.

By nature we are caring and nurturing; we are also professional and have built enviable reputations, by winning several innovation and research awards for our many hypnotherapy programs which are used in 48 countries, we have attended the Queens’ garden party in recognition of our work developing ‘innovative health solutions’. 

We offer the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma which has 45 academic credits from the Open University at Undergraduate level 1 (FHEQ Level 4) and counts towards a relevant degree.

This is in addition to the Diploma awarded by Cambridge College of Hypnotherapy.

It can be a great topic of conversation; it can bring interest and curiosity. It is a wonderful subject for after dinner speaking, it breaks down barriers and gives hope to the sick, comfort to the frightened, and strength of character and learning to those who want and desire positive change in their lives.

Hypnotherapy is becoming more widely recognised by the medical profession and by society as a whole as a valid treatment option for many conditions of mind, body and emotion.

Please visit our website www.thecch.com where you can download the Guide to training, application form, philosophy of the CCH, learning outcomes and much more.

Relationships


Taken from my Hypnotes Column in warrington-worldwide magazine

Who is the most important person in your life?  It is a simple straightforward question.  When I ask this question to some of my clients, they answer, my wife, husband, mum, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister, brother, aunt or uncle and others besides. Often, far to often there is an omission from the list of important people, and that is usually ourselves!
The most important person in your life is and should be you! Only by being fair to yourself and loving yourself, and nurturing yourself, can you make the very most out of loving relationships with those people who are important to you.
This requirement for self-love is not arrogance, or selfish, it is more like self-preservation. Self-love is about caring for yourself as well as those around you. It is about knowing yourself, it is about taking responsibility for you, responsibility for the things you chose to do or chose not to do.

Psychologist and social philosopher Eric Fromm wrote in 1956 that to truly love someone else, you have to love yourself first. Of course this may sound flowery and 60’s type drivel to some readers, but is it?
Are you in a loving and happy relationship at this moment or are you going through the motions, are you realistic about your own strengths and weaknesses, or do you turn a blind eye to them. Are you stuck in old patterns of behaviour, beliefs and thought which could sabotage what could be a wonderful relationship, or at worst even destroy it.

Many people believe it’s easier to just put up with a situation, and keep quiet, rather than deal with their own issues. Many people would rather face a raging bull than admit they have issues to deal with! Old patterns can help us to avoid what needs to be addressed, it’s easier to shout and walk away, rather than listen and simply consider new options of choice and considerations.
We are the sum of our knowledge, life-skills, experiences and relationships. If we want to move on, if we want to break out of past behaviours and routines, we have to be brave enough to look inside ourselves and ask, if we do love ourselves and that means respecting ourselves and our skills and life history.

If we allow ourselves to remain in destructive thought patterns and behaviours, then those things in the past are still influencing us, still winning the internal battle.  But we owe it to ourselves, and those we love, to break out of that self-maintained prison and to begin to see the real opportunities which lay ahead of us.
And of course it’s okay to be unsure, scared, and vulnerable and all the other things we shy away from so readily when we know change is needed. So if you haven’t made a New Year’s resolution yet, consider making one that you will start to love yourself. And when you learn how to do that, you can really open up and enjoy the other important relationships in your life, enjoying the support, and love and caring which is given to you by the special people in your life, and learn how to return it too.  If you don’t know how, contact me, if you are unsure, contact me, and let me help you find the way.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Michael Mahoney meets David Mowat MP


Since 1991 I have been working with Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers. This common gastroenterological condition affects up to 1 in 5 of the population at some time in their life.

During March 2013, I met David Mowat MP for Warrington South at a business meeting, and briefly explained the work I do as a clinical hypnotherapist, researcher and developer of innovative health solutions, including my work in developing the IBS Audio Program 100 

The meeting was understandably brief given the forum, however later that month I got another opportunity to explain my work in more detail and for a much longer time.  

Mr Mowat very quickly understood the issues faced by this patient population, and was very positive in his encouragement for my work.  I was delighted that I was unhurried, I was listened to, and the MP asked important questions and understood the answers.  Clearly Mr Mowat understood the gravity of IBS as I explained the physical and emotional aspects of the condition to him.

David Mowat MP & Michael Mahoney holding IBS Audio Program 100
I am delighted that my work and its benefits for IBS sufferers have taken a positive step forward today.”

When the editor of the local magazine warrington-worldwide asked David Mowat MP about the meeting he commented “Michael’s work is a fine example of what can be done with persistence and a dedication to those who suffer, while finding a possible innovative solution to NHS budget costs. It is encouraging to find dedication like this within my constituency.”
 
 
 
Clearly a postive step for IBS sufferers everywhere, I left the meeting impressed that this often forgotten patient population, had, finally been heard. while there is much still left to do, it is a good start!

IBS Audio Program 100 Discount


Since 1998 the IBS Audio Program 100 has been helping adult sufferers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome to reduce the physical and emotional aspects of IBS, and to get on with living a happy life, some users even walking away from the IBS symptoms completely.

This program was years in the making using specific hypnosis processes, I researched, developed, trialled and brought to market what is now the leading program of its kind.  Used by IBS sufferers in more than 45 countries, it is tried and trusted and available in CD Set or immediate MP3 download.


It’s like having your own therapist at home, but without the huge expense, the travelling, appointment times, traffic delays, time off work etc.

The IBS Audio Program 60 for Children (8 – 13 years) has been helping children with IBS since 2008, it uses different suggestions and imagery, but also uses the OPSIM method of delivery, as does the 100 program for adults, maximising the benefits of the recordings.

Stress Release Audio Program 80


Stress is rising, the effects of stress on individuals and businesses is taking its toll. Stress is ignored at your own peril; stress is no respecter of age, background or gender.

Poor coping strategies such as illegal drugs or excessive drinking of alcohol is no answer, and the medical profession have no magic wand to wave the problem away.

Recently we have seen redundancies announced at HMV, stress and concern for those being made redundant will of course be reflected in those who are to retain their jobs.  Other companies and organisations are reducing their workforce, the pressure of work, the thought of no work, the expectations of more work being given to those who remain behind all contributes  to increasing stress levels.

Families of those affected are also put under increasing stress. The economic side effects are lower productivity, increased absenteeism, higher costs through temporary staff covering and increased occasions of arriving late.  In the short term, stress may reduce the absenteeism in some organisations, but will it be maintained, or will it simply lead to higher stress and related problems in the future?

Stress is the outstripping of internal resources, by internal or external demands; whether they are real or perceived make little difference!   Stress however is much more than a word, or a few sentences.  Some people make an entire career out of understanding stress; such is the complexity of the subject.

In short, stress has to be understood, and managed to reduce it in a healthy and productive way.

The Stress Release Audio Program 80 was developed to aid stress reduction, to bring understanding of what stress is and is not, and to deliver a structured, gentle learning process to the listener.

Using hypnotherapy to reduce stress and bring understanding, options of choice and considerations to the listener, this home use audio program is the ideal aid in beginning to manage your stress and lead to a happier life.   

Why let the stress rule you, potentially ruin relationships, careers and professions, when you can do something about it? And there is plenty you can do, if you choose to! The responsibility is yours.

Stress should not be ignored, if you ignore it, there are some pretty convincing research that eventually the stress may well be a contributing factor for other health conditions to develop. Again it’s your choice.

Please click this link to see the Stress Release AudioProgram 80 structure, read about its 14 interlinked tracks, and of course as with any of my major programs it comes with a user guide containing listening schedule and other relevant information.

 

PS
In my Equations in life download, I mention one equation in life, and that it;
From the legal age of adulthood, we take responsibility for what we chose to do. But because its and equation, there is another side to.  So not only do you take responsibility for what you chose to do, you also take responsibility for what you chose not to do!  Simple.

However if we develop some stress related illness or condition and we did nothing to prevent it, then we cannot complain about it, because it could have been avoided, but we chose not too!

Bad news on the High Street


The news of HMV going into administration, the closure of Jessops and the announcement of  800 job losses at the Honda plant in Swindon would make grim reading at any time of the year, but so early into 2013 employees and ex-employees face uncertainty and anxiety for their future, and that of their families. Confidence is knocked in the individuals abilities are questioned, increasing stress and leading to an increase of conditions such as IBS or irritable Bowel Syndrome which affects upto one in five of the population.

Some commentators believe other retailers will follow in the not too distant future, but it isn’t just the big names, smaller companies, the life blood of the country account for 47% of all private sector employment are also facing challenging time.

Employment uncertainty, increasing expectations and workload lead to higher stress, increased anxiety and other conditions such as IBS and depression and more besides.

It is up to the government to set the right agenda for businesses to grown and get the country out of economic mess we find ourselves in. Also the banks need to play their role in supporting business.  

I believe also service industries such as mine, have a role to play in helping where we can.  For 15 years the products of Healthy Audio Limited have been helping individuals around the world to feel better and more capable.  We have invested years in researching and developing problem specific products to help and support individuals, which indirectly helps other businesses in reducing absenteeism, reducing recruitment costs, and socially our products help families and the wider society.

Today we are offering 30% off our IBS Audio Programs, in part to celebrate 15 years helping people in 47 countries, but additional discount simply to help.

Also we are offering 50% discount off our MP3 download ofLaid off Move On, our self help audio program for those who have been made redundant.


Of course we wish it could be more, but we are doing what we can to help. How many others are doing the same?

Each moment an end and a new begining

Adapted from my Anxiety Audio Program 120

When we are facing difficulties in life, however we feel in one moment, does not mean we will feel that way forever.

When we feel down and depressed, or pressured and worried, or in pain or feeling lonely or unsure, remind yourself it won’t always be like this.

And I can tell you why too.  We, as human beings, are always changing. Every moment is an end and a new beginning. 

Anxiety Audio Program 120
We are constantly changing.  You have never in your life had as much experience, knowledge, skills, talents or gifts as you do now.  Ever!

And each moment we are changing.  If you were to stop reading this now, and go for a walk around your room or around the block, or into the garden,  you the person who stopped reading this article, would not be the same exact person who come back to finish reading this blog.

You would be different, perhaps only slightly, but the fact is you would have changed. If you went into the garden, you would see the flowers; feel the sun or the rain or the wind, the pressure of your steps, the sensation of movement and thousands of other things besides.

So your experience in the garden changed you, gave you more knowledge, sensations, awareness, thoughts and lots of other things too.

This process is going on all the time, reading this article is changing you, everything we do, think and say changes us, adding to our experiences, knowledge and much more.

So by that simple example you can identify that you are constantly changing. You made a decision to read this blog, so you are consciously helping yourself to change, changing your outlook, expectations and knowledge base.  By changing these things you change your perspectives too.

By now you will perhaps have read something new, something for you to think about or consider.  And when you think about what has been suggested, it can be understood that we are constantly changing and the way we are at one moment in time does not have to remain that way into the next moment of time, so do look forward to change, look forward to understanding that the way you think and feel constantly changes. 

If we think differently we change the way we feel.  So all that said, allow yourself a little time to consider what you have read, just consider it, and if it makes some sense then use this information to help remind yourself that current difficulties, or future, will not last for ever. If what you have read makes no sense, then at least you had to consider this information and the reasons why you reject it, but either way, it will have changed you!

The light at the end of the tunnel!


In my recording ‘Reflections on Life’ I mention that common phrase used by people when they are hopeful of a positive outcome “the light at the end of the tunnel”

When people are in a low mood particularly when they are working through a major life issue, or many smaller issues at the same time, or having to cope with their IBS, or pain, or anxiety or whatever life has thrown at them they  sometimes use the phrase ‘ I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel’

You might have heard that phrase or might even use it yourself.  Well if you do, here’s a thought for you to consider.

Consider that statement, ‘I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel’ and then imagine it.

Take a few moments and just imagine it, right now.

Having done that, it is likely that you imagined the tunnel, as being long, dark and straight, perhaps like wading through treacle with the hope of a glimmer light at the end. 

Well if that is the image you conjured up then imagine in your thoughts, grasping it, screwing it up and throwing it away.

Because ever since you were born, you have not had (or  rarely had) a long straight journey in your life.  Journeys through life are a series of peaks and troughs, lefts and rights, twists and turns and ups and downs.

Because of this we can remind ourselves that there is rarely any incentive to tread a long, dark tunnel in the vague hope of reaching some sort of flicker of positive light at the end of it.

To imagine the journey like that makes it even more difficult to keep motivated, resolute and focussed on recovery or getting through the difficult issues; in fact this image often leads to self-sabotaging thoughts.

So think about this journey differently!  By thinking about this journey like the other journeys  you have had through life, as a series of ups and downs, peaks and troughs, lefts and rights, twists and turns.

By doing this you only have to take a few steps forward and then look left or right and that’s where the light may be, since light does not travel around corners, you can never be sure if the next step in your journey is when you will see the light.

This makes the most difficult of journeys easier to deal with emotionally.

You might be so close to a solution to the problem, to feeling better in mind and body, happy in your outlook on life, more focussed, more determined. All these and more could be just a step away, not a long tiring trudge in the dark tunnel of uncertainty.

Life is like a good book, the next page, or chapter bringing new excitement.  The light of hope, change or learning could just be just around the corner waiting for you. And as each moment is an end and a new beginning, you can look forward with expectancy of better things to come.

No longer sabotaging yourself with that old dark tunnel, but now looking for the light much closer to you, which you might discover in the next few moments of life….

Don't be a hostage to IBS


Michael Mahoney
Author IBS Audio Program 100
Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is no respector of age or background. It affects young and old, fit and ill, working or retired, male and female.

Not only does it cause physical and emotional pain and discomfort, for many it leaves them housebound, it can result in the loss of employment, reduced school hours, reduced socialising.

It can mean additonal costs for medication which is often limited in its effectiveness. Child care fees, prescription charges, insurance costs all add to the burden of IBS, which by and large is considered to be 'non serious' by many in the medical profession.

And yet, I see people at the end of their patience, reduced to tears by this condition.  Little did I know when I started researching IBS in 1991, that 21 years later, I would still be seeing people with IBS, the medical profession having come marginally closer to understanding the condition, but no closer to curing it or certain about its causes.

Every working day in my practice I see the effects of IBS, physical, emotional and financial. People losing pay through reduced hours caused by IBS absenteeism. Struggling with rising bills, losing faith in the medical profession, wondering just how much longer they can go on.

Fortunately all the study and research and development I did all those years ago, is still bringing relief to IBS sufferers through the IBS Audio Program 100, developed specifically for the IBS condition in 1998.

We proved not only a good product, but excellent customer service too. Supporting our customers by phone, and email, overseen by patient advocate Marilyn who understand the IBS condition and its effects inside and out.

I see the IBS Audio Program 100 as a rescuer for many IBS sufferers.  Many users find they can manage or walk away from their symptoms. As the author of the IBS Audio Program 100, I never call it a cure, simply because the medical profession cannot find anything wrong after investigations, so, the logic goes, if tere is noting wrong, it cannot be cured!

Frustrating to say the least.  Whatever the results are called, whether a cure, or improved quality of life, managing the problem or walking away from IBS, all that really matters is that some relief has been found for the individual and this brings benefits to their loved ones too.

So when things feel difficult, and you seem to have nowhere to turn, consider looking a little closer at the IBS Audio Program 100. Imagine 100 days from now (20 October 2012) or even sooner, feeling happier, more comfortable and empowered.



No longer a hostage of IBS!

Go for your own Gold Medal


As I write this on a dark wet and windy summers morning in July my mind wonders to the Olympics and the gradual build up to the greatest sporting even in the world.  A competition of the very best athletes coming together to take part in 300 events, all of them dreaming of winning a gold medal.   It is expected 147 national will take part in the Paralympics too.  

This event is where medals can be won or lost in a fraction of a second. The difference of being a gold medallist and a bronze medallist can be thousandths of a second, a fraction of a moment which can affect an individual for the rest of their lives. To become a household name overnight, or forgotten in moments. A place where comparisons are made, who is the best, the fastest, the most agile, who has the best stamina, and so it goes on.
Anxiety Audio Program 120

However it isn’t just at the Olympics that this constant comparing goes on, it goes on in everyday life. Many individuals compare themselves to others wishing they had the talents, skills, looks, position at work, or money of someone else, and yet I believe this thinking is flawed.  Many people look out at what others have or can do, rather than looking at themselves more closely.

We are all individuals, and if we are individual, that means we are a one off, we are unique. And if we are unique, then there is no one like us, and if there is no one like us, we cannot compare ourselves to others. So why do we so often go through life trying to do so?
IBS Audio Program 100
for Adults.


Instead we should consider comparing ourselves, to ourselves! It isn’t as strange as it might initially seem.  I often ask my clients to put themselves on a scale from zero to ten. Zero being the worst (when we first met) to ten being the very best they can imagine.  By doing so each time we meet, we can gauge the improvements that our working together brings.  As they go higher up the scale, the more improvements they are noticing in themselves. Their focus becomes more about making positive changes to themselves, releasing and letting go of things no longer needed, and building new skills and belief systems.


Confidence & Self-Esteem
Each moment is an end and a new beginning, a significant change or new belief or understanding can happen in a heartbeat or even quicker, in a mere moment of time. Putting energy into changing and adapting helps us to move on in life more easily. Of course many times is has to be worked at, discipline, commitment and focus are all needed, but it is worth it.

So unless you are preparing for the Olympics, consider focusing on your own uniqueness, look at pushing barriers and limitations, learning new skills and understandings and developing your own uniqueness. That way, you too will eventually feel how it feels to be your very best. You may not be an Olympic athlete and you may never win a gold Olympic medal, but you may well find that you can be perfectly you!

Hypnotherapy solutions to help those affected by economic climate


Confidence and Self Esteem

The start of a New Year. For most 2012 will be a testing time.

Newspapers and news reports are full of doom and gloom, austerity measures taking effect, reducing spending power of families,  jobless numbers rising and the outlook bleak.
The current economic climate for most of the population is going to be problematic, and it’s fair to say the challenges placed on individuals, families and society in general will become greater.

All these challenges will increase anxiety, impacting the general wellbeing of many of the population. Anxiety is rising and the drugs prescribed for the anxiety condition are rising too.

People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS will be affected as stress; demands and anxiety take their daily toll. The digestive system is a delicate system and responds quickly to stress and anxiety, mostly in a negative painful way.

Those who have lost their job through involuntary redundancy face many challenges as the private sector fails to increase job vacancies to mop up the redundancies in the public sector, though if there were less red tape and interference in SME’s the story could quickly change, as SME are vital to the country getting out of this current economic mess.

And yet, all is far from lost. Each and every person has the ability to do something about their situation. Success rarely if ever comes knocking on your door, you have to go and find it. We have to change the rules of engagement. If we don’t have the confidence or self-esteem to make things change then do something to find it and develop it.

I started my internet business by re-mortgaging my family home, because I believed in what I was doing and that was researching and developing the IBS Audio Program 100, my first self-help audio program for adults, which is now a leader in its field.
It was rejected out of hand by a leading London PR company as being unmarketable; it now goes to 45 countries!  Time after time it was rejected and yet I persevered, and eventually the program took off and is trusted widely. A major NHS referral hospital uses it, and self-help groups promote it.

I refused to accept the word no!  I didn’t have the skills I needed so I learned them; I saw a problem and decided I could do better than what was available. I learned from people, I questioned things, and yet these are not things only the few can do, each and every person reading this can make a difference for themselves and their families, to their job prospects, if they want to.

For me it wasn’t an option to do nothing, to simply wait for something to come to me. Of course those with IBS or Anxiety, or reduced confidence and self-esteem and those going through difficult times emotionally, need to deal with those issues first, before they can get the emotional balance, and the drive and motivation to make further positive differences.  But once they have worked through those things in a structured way, then they can achieve whatever they want to achieve.

And in this first week of the New Year, I have instructed that all my Self Help Audio Programs downloads are reduced by 20% in price, my way of giving some support to those who really deserve to feel better, and those who decide to make a difference for themselves, and their future.

Help your IBS the long, hard expensive and frustration way!

(Or take the short cut and use our way!)


You have been diagnosed with IBS, (you do need a diagnosis of IBS from a medical professional, since some of its symptoms can mimic more sinister conditions).

Your diagnosis is out of the way, You dutifully follow the advice and guidance, and medications given by your medical professional.

Then perhaps for the first few weeks / months you have hope,

but it fades as the medications, the repeat prescriptions and doctor appointments deliver very little benefit.

A few more weeks / months down the line

you decide to get a second opinion / more tests / try something different. Little helps, and your concern mounts as a nagging feeling develops deep at the back of your mind, that this is not going to go away quickly / it might be with your for ever!

After more time / tests / appointments / expense, you decide to try something else / anything to make a difference!

Hopes rise,

only to be dashed again, as the juices / potions / irrigation / over the counter medicines / are just not hitting the spot!
The nagging that was deep in your mind is now at the forefront of your mind, will this ever get any better? You even consider quick fix promise products / snake-oil products / way out there stuff / obvious funnel sales sites, sucking you in slowly to make a sale, because there has to be something, out there, Doesn't there?

Your mood may be getting lower / relationships more difficult / lost days at work or college increase / you have spent a fortune and no closer to improvement.

The alarm bells are ringing, a reluctant resignation creeps into your life, you worry this is it, for the rest of your days, the pain, the urgency, the rushing, the bloating, constipation, deeper mood swings, tenderness, no light at the end of the tunnel, anxiety, life closing in, relationships strained after so many dashed hopes and so it goes on.

You either give up or keep searching.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, Okay you’ve heard this before, but not from me!

Did you know Hypnotherapy is recognised as a valid treatment option for IBS?
(You might not know how words can help IBS let alone the physical / emotional aspects, but they can, and often do!)

Did you know in the UK Hypnotherapy is one of the recommended talking therapies RECOMMNEDED to DOCTORS to use with patients, by the National Institute of Clinical Health and Excellence (NICE) the body which governs medical treatment in the UK?

But, it suggests only after 12 months of non effective pharmacological treatment. Quite why it is seen as secondry treatment option, when it has so much evidence of being beneficial, and when many GPs and consultants admit they have little to offer in the longer term!

Did you know there is over 25 years proven, medical and scientific studies in the UK / USA and elsewhere showing hypnotherapy is a valid treatment option for IBS?
Okay, but they are all conducted in clinics, selected patients etc. Some might not consider it the real world.

Maybe, but our program has been proven in the real world with real people, many who have tried everything else, some referred, some stumbling upon us, many with multiple and diverse symptoms and backgrounds, but many found our IBS Audio Program helped them)

And did you know the leading IBS Audio Program is ours. The IBS Audio Program 100 which has 14 years proven history of helping many sufferers of IBS.
(Successful, because it was developed over many years, by myself, who took the time to learn about the IBS condition, and after working with many patients successfully.

I worked with IBS patients when all else failed, when no one else would listen or believe / with those who had been  referred to me with intractable IBS by the medical profession who recognised my approach worked for their patients.

I believe I was first to incorporate the importance of the emotional self into my program / Even now the importance of the emotional aspects of IBS are only just being recognised in some research quarters).

A program specifically developed for IBS sufferers.(It was specifically developed for IBS symptoms / of body / mind / emotions.
Now used in over 40 countries, a full home use course, no travelling / no appointments / no repeat costs, enjoyable & structured and cost effective)

And, for the first week in January there is 20% discount on the immediate download, and 10% off the CD sets.

So when you have tried everything else, when you really want to try one more time, then try our IBS Audio Program 100, many users wish they had used it first / but at least now you have found us!
