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!

Home use IBS Treatment Audio Program

IBS Treatment Audio Program

Since 1998 the IBS Audio Program 100 has been helping people with all variants of IBS.
Now used in over 40 countries this trusted and proven home use audio program has quietly been providing relief for thousands of IBS sufferers.


IBS, as all sufferers will know is a common digestive disorder affecting up to 1 in 4 of the population at some time in their life. The most common physical symptoms are an urgency to need the toilet, pain, diarrhoea, constipation or alternating bowel habit, excess wind, bloating, bladder problems, fullness, nausea, pain in the back passage, lack of sex drive, pain during or after intercourse, disturbed sleep amongst others.


Modern medical science has no clear understanding of what causes IBS nor is there a medical cure; though through research some progress towards understanding the condition is developing.
As a clinical hypnotherapist who has spent many years researching and studying the IBS condition, in tandem with working with patients I believe the success of the IBS Audio Program 100 is based on several things, one being the understanding (which leading research bodies are now recognising) of the importance of the psychological impact of IBS on the individual.

People with IBS so often despair that the emotional impact of IBS is either ignored or simply not recognised by many in the medical profession. Anxiety, lack of confidence, diminished self esteem, weepiness, impatience, intolerance, poor memory and concentration and much more.

Emotions matter, plain and simple! Each thought we have creates a physical response, if the thought is about IBS, which for many starts the moment they open their eyes in the morning, then the body will respond. In the case of an IBS-D sufferer, if they are a teacher, what happens if they need the toilet in class, or a policeman on the beat, a fire fighter on call, or a mother picking up her child from school? What about the office worker who dreads meetings or presentations because of 'stomach gurgling', or even walking frequently to the bathroom? What about the cancelled trips out, the same too for the day trips out with the family, the last minute cancelling of social engagements? What clothes should they wear, if stomach distension and tenderness develop during the day? What if the agonising cramps and stabbing pains get to bad to walk, work or socialise.


All these and many more situations have an impact. And it builds over the weeks, months and years the IBS sufferer has to manage. They spend a fortune on ‘snake-oil products’, they are desperate, and therefore vulnerable. These thoughts have to be taken seriously.

See my video describing the importance of emotional energy and some of the impacts of low emotional energy in the lives of IBS sufferers.

The IBS Audio Program 100 is not a panacea, but it was developed specifically for IBS sufferers. Nor is a simple CD dealing with stress. It is structured listening program, the benefits of which often turn the lives around for listeners. We often receive unsolicited testimonials from around the globe thanking us for our work developing this program. We say we work quietly, but our work can cause a positive storm of excitement and positive developments in improving the Quality of Life (QoL) of our customers.


Two things trouble me however. Firstly it is the fact that even though the IBS Audio Program 100 helps many people to walk away from the IBS condition, I can’t say it is a cure. Why? Because IBS is a collection of symptoms, and although the medical profession do not find anything physically wrong, after looking for more sinister conditions of which IBS symptoms can mimic, the IBS label is attached.


And as mentioned earlier while the IBS Audio Program 100 isn’t a panacea, because no medication or treatment or therapy is, we can’t use the word cure for those who walk away from their physical and emotional symptoms, because the medical profession say there is nothing physically wrong to begin with!

And secondly, hypnotherapy has been an advised treatment option in the UK since February 2008 where the NICE guidelines state, hypnotherapy for IBS, deemed a psychological therapy by NICE, should be considered after twelve months of non effective pharmacological treatment, so why isn’t it? And more to the point, if I can add one further question, why should it be a last resort, not a first option, for in the same report hypnotherapy for IBS in children is suggested to be a first treatment option?


I am sure greater brains than mine are thinking about this, but it is a frustration for me. I know for my patients and users of the IBS Audio Program 100 also.
So many of whom walk away with great improvements in their quality of life, wonder why they had to experience years of pain, reduced quality of life, disappointment, repeated intrusive investigations, in some cases professional disbelief, spend literally thousands of pounds / dollars seeking for a solution before finding one. For them it is beyond frustration!


I wish you well,


Michael
