Irritable Bowel Syndrome affects as much as 20% of people in USA and Europe. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are abdominal pains asso­ciated with altered bowel pattern and bloating. In addition there can be rectal symptoms such as irritation and urgency. There are also non-​​colonic symptoms.

Many ways have been used to alleviate pain over the years and I have exper­ienced many myself and found hypnosis accom­panied with a range of mind skills and tools to be by far the best way of over­coming and altering my response to it.

Can you remember a time when you had a paper cut and you did not realise that you had it until later on that day when you saw it with your own eyes?
