IBS and ABC936 Talk Back

Thank you to Leon Compton of Statewide mornings for welcoming me on to discuss IBS and gut-directed hypnotherapy!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is complex and can be life altering in the least for many people. IBS has become a leading reason for visiting the GP with sufferers experiencing pain on digestion and for many they have an inability to digest FODMAP foods resulting in cramping, diarrhoea, constipation or both. What we know is that stress can make symptoms worse and for some they may have a dramatically reduced number of foods they can safely digest.

Natural State Hypnosis specialises in Gut-directed Hypnotherapy. Angela Vincent follows the Monash university evidence-based protocol for IBS and the FODMAP diet guidelines. Allow Angela to help your body regain it’s ability to digest many of the foods they have not had success with in the past.

Hypnosis for weight loss

Lose Weight and Embrace your Body Shape!

Cravings and unwanted food habits can lead to weight fluctuations and for many battling weight loss, the process is complex and multifaceted.  We are not all born alike, we have our DNA, upbringing and social influences impacting on how we navigate this life with all such variables contributing to our overall self worth and body image. Hypnosis is helpful in supporting in re-aligning our weight loss habits to a more positive mindset and in many cases, is effective is resetting some of the skewed habits or behaviours that have become the norm.

The addition of hypnosis provides a window of opportunity to assist in the effectiveness of dietary changes and an improvement in the regularity of exercise for people looking to lose weight. The idea is that the mind can be influenced to change habits like overeating. However, every individual will respond differently and despite it’s effectiveness in improving one’s self worth and improved body image, the amount of weight loss differs from person-to-person.

Does Hypnotherapy work for weight loss?

A 2018 study has provided evidence that the support of Self-Hypnosis techniques and hypnosis recordings.  The group provided with hypnosis reported better outcomes with a reduction in caloric (overall food) intake, a decrease in their urge to eat (satiety) and a reduction in the inflammatory markers related to obesity.

What to expect from your hypnotherapy weight loss program

Hypnotherapy for weight loss requires 5-6 consultations with the choice of Improved Weight Loss habits with craving elimination or Virtual Gastric Band weight loss (the subconscious belief that the stomach has been reduced in size and other suggestions).  Your individualised hypnotherapy program outlines personal goals and timelines, preferred eating habits and fitness goals.

During the hypnosis session certain words or repetition of certain phrases may be used and used throughout the program.  Your therapist may also help you visualise yourself reaching goals through sharing vivid mental imagery.  Hypnotherapy programs come with conscious tasks and an mp3 self hypnosis track to utilise.

How can I prepare for my first hypnotherapy appointment?

• Start a food diary to track your eating do your best to cut down on the not-so-good foods that have been problematic in the past.

• Increase your protein intake.

• Note the time of day that cravings may arise and document in your diary.

• Consider a free fitness activity that you would like to do and book it in with a good friend.

• Keep Hydrated. Water preferably 😉

Hypnotherapy for kids anxiety

School anxiety is a big deal! Does your child suffer from fear and panic? Hypnotherapy can help and Kids often experience immediate relief.

Being a parent is tough and as a parent of a youngster that expresses anxiety, fear or panic at any stage can make parenting even more difficult. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and in many cases effective way for kids and young adults to bravely work through their fears. Visual imagery and story telling are often wonderfully effective ways to engage young people and Hypnotherapy may be provided in a waking state as children are still very efficient at moving in and out of trance-like states.

Hypnotherapy for kids anxiety

If your child appears to have lost that toddler courage that you remember which allowed them to brush themselves off and attempt the next trick on the monkey bars then they could be in need of some confidence boosting. We know that as adults our resilience can take a beating when moving jobs, cities, sports teams or a myriad of different changes and our Children and young adults can lose sleep, forget to eat, be more hesitant to leave our side as just a couple of examples of how these feelings play out in children.

With Child Psychologist wait lists being stretched to capacity it is the perfect time to consider other options. Hypnotherapy can provide immediate relief being reported by many parents of my young clients. During a hypnotherapy session Mums and Dads can expect to remain in the room for the entirety of the 45min-60minute consultation to ensure that your child feels supported and comfortable for the duration of the session.

Despite children and young adults being quite suggestible to hypnosis, Hypnotherapy is most effective when a minimum of 3-6 consultations providing long lasting change and resilience for our young population. These programs aim to create a sense of self worth and building self esteem.

Hypnosis for Fertility anxiety and the pilgrimage towards parenting?

Do you have a wish to conceive, carry and birth your Baby? To be a Mum or Dad or are you a supportive friend traveling this vast emotional pilgrimage that touches your heart at every turn?

Hypnotherapy can assist by providing you with a sense of renewed wellbeing, rejuvenation and the ability to breathe during your periods of exhaustion and doubt, providing a sense of ok-ness on the more difficult days.

If you are one of the women that has been trying to fall pregnant with no clear explanation as to why it appears to be more difficult for you then Hypnotherapy may be a good supportive option. Hypnosis and mind-body therapies can assist you in keeping you calm and steady during the ups and downs of conception, miscarriage and a myriad of other physical and social factors that come into play when you’re planning for a child.

How can Hypnosis help?

Hypnosis is one part of the therapy provided by a Hypnotherapist. As a Nurse and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I combine my knowledge of the biology of the body and in almost all cases, I’m able to provide a lay (wo)man’s explanation of why it’s important to keep the stress hormones to a minimum and more importantly, how to do it with a few simple techniques.

You see, our body’s nervous system is fuelled by our minds’ response or our perceptions of fear and panic. We may not have saber tooth tigers to fight but that does not mean we’re not responding as if one is in front of us.

What does this have to do with you, I hear you thinking?

For women wishing to conceive after a long period of attempting to fall pregnant naturally simply approaching a scan, an Obstetrician appointment or just seeing a familiar medical professionals number come up on their phone it can be enough to release a fear and even panic response in the body. Our mind is often on the watch to avoid moments of extreme distress, prolonged discomfort or mental hurt. It is during these times that our body releases adrenaline which is counterproductive in the conceiving and birthing body.

Insomnia relief with hypnosis

Can’t sleep? Ease your night time distress with Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy for insomnia was my introduction to Hypnotherapy and hypnosis as a life changing phenomenon. Allow yourself to be ready and willing to rid yourself of the exhausting symptoms of insomnia.

Life is quite short. Shorter even, as we get older.

Hypnotherapy offers an opportunity to reset your cycles of sleeplessness and provides a refreshing chance to investigate the reasons why this is occurring in this instance. As a medically-attuned clinical hypnotherapist and RN, I appreciate the complexities of the physical and structural abnormalities that drive the recurrence of insomnia. In some cases, however, that switch into the fight and flight autonomic nervous centre may find itself stuck in high alert and anxiety. When we’re able to consciously and subconsciously let go or process the trigger (whether you’re aware of what it is or not) of this current insomnia then hypnosis may be right for you!

Can’t sleep, can sleep but wake regularly, wake too early? All of these are indicative of insomnia. If these are your experiences, then find yourself a Hypnotherapist today.

Does hypnosis work?

Good question!

I’m never disappointed when people ask me about what I do. Well, I get to hypnotise people for a living and a vast majority thank me, tell me I’ve genuinely changed their lives or the lives of a family member.

It’s a unique playing field and one that continues to have its validity questioned despite the addition of fMRI evidence of what occurs in the brain during hypnosis as well as the newer area of the neuroscience of consciousness providing us with more defining variances between the waking state and state of hypnosis.

If you’re interested in how we can take someone from a smoker that has been unable to quit due to the severe physical and environmental cravings they’ve experienced in the past to someone who simply states ‘I don’t smoke’ and feels strangely Ok with this phenomena of the voice in their head reminding them that …

.. That’s right, I don’t smoke!

Does it get any more fantastic than that?

Clinical hypnotherapy for chronic pain

Clinical trial evidence consistently provides positive results for hypnotherapy effectiveness in reducing daily pain intensity levels in people with chronic pain.

Hypnotherapy harnesses your ability to retrain neural pathways and develop new patterns in the brain and body helping you reclaim control and relieve unrelenting chronic pain.

Chronic Pain and illness is debilitating, exhausting and extremely stressful.

Chronic Pain is considered as pain that occurs most days of the week and has been persistent for longer than three months. It may include pain that no longer has an identifiable cause regions of the body that have physically healed and pain remains.

Other physical identifiable causes include: 

·       Arthritis 

·       Autoimmune syndromes

·       Cancer 

·       Chronic nerve pain and bone / cartilage & ligament damage 

·       Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

·       Complex Pain Syndrome

·       Fibromyalgia 

·       Motor Neurone Disease / ALS: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

·       Multiple Sclerosis

·       Neuropathic pain syndrome

·       Phantom Pain Syndrome

·       Shingles

      ….. just to name a few.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 people suffer chronic pain.  It’s complex and the cause and treatment options which suit one person may not be as adequate for another.  Treatment options often require reviews to medications, changes to treatment recommendations and emotional resilience falling short at times due to the sea-sawing effect to ones’ ability to maintain healthy emotional reserves when the chronic pain remains.  

As a person in chronic pain there are some real concerns to address such as their primary chronic pain site, mobility and mental distress as well as financial hardship.  These issues present consistently for a person with chronic pain and their family as a decrease in their capacity to earn, ability to maintain social connections and their needs as a caregiver becomes compromised. 

What we do know is that there is not one single treatment that alleviates all chronic pain.  It takes good communication, support and the ability to advocate for yourself or your partner.  

It often requires the combination of proactive strategies about how your mental and emotional health may be maintained and health care professionals focused on providing you with positive outcomes and improved quality of life.

MS Relief with Hypnosis

The role of Hypnotherapist is a very rewarding one. Here are some words from a wonderful woman I've been fortunate enough to meet.

Since my early teens I have had a gut disease and this has created other issues as I have grown older including IBS and being overweight. In 2014 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and this brought my world crashing down, exaggerated my existing conditions and adding new ones.  As a sensitive, born worrier, anxiety was creeping into my everyday life and I wanted to find a way to control what I could control.  I kept coming back to hypnotherapy.
​
I googled hypnotherapists who were registered with the AHA and liked the sound of Ange and felt her credentials matched the issues I was trying to deal with.  With an open mind I went to my first visit and left with so much more than I expected.
​
Forget the media stereotype.  I shared my problems with Ange and when I was under hypnosis she gave me tools to deal with those problems.  At no stage was I out of control or not in charge while under hypnosis.  This is a big misunderstanding in the public about hypnotherapy and one I have defended since to others that have suggested that I was not fully hypnotised if I can remember or was aware of what was going on.
​
After my first visit I left feeling drained but calm.  I felt really comfortable with Ange and was so glad I made the visit.  Her genuine concern, research and follow up went above and beyond and I felt (for the first time in a long time) that I was being dealt as an individual and not a “textbook case”.  I ended up sharing much more with Ange than I ever set out to do and this is still having a positive effect on my well being.

It took a few weeks for me to realise the subtle improvements.  My relationship with food choices and control is improving and this has helped with my health in many areas.  I’m still working on the weight loss but I now looking at that as a lifelong goal of management!  To be honest I have learnt now to recognise when my body is full and act on it.  Knowing and doing are two different things and the mantra Ange shared with me and I continue to live by is to “eat no more, no less” than my body requires.  I still need more improvement but I am moving forward!

One of the most positive outcomes that slowly emerged was a change in a long standing difficult relationship that I had endured all my life and couldn’t cope with.  All my anxiety fell away and I was able to let go of the past and move forward in a more relaxed and less uptight manner.  I did not expect this to happen and now look forward to having those relationships again.  I can’t put a price on this and have no other explanation other than hypnotherapy brought about this change.
​
My experience with Ange has been nothing but positive and I hope to continue visiting whenever I am in the South of the state. I thank you Ange for the care you have shown and continue to show me.

It has been a pleasure collaborating with Jenny to relieve her distress and create change in her wellbeing and perception of her good life.  Thank you!
