      April Is IBS Awareness Month In UK (Edited)

      Apparently Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of the most common digestive conditions in the UK and it affects between 10 and 20 percent of the population. IBS is more common in women, especially those aged between 20 and 30, but it can affect people of all ages.

      For IBS sufferers every day is IBS awareness day!
      People who suffer from IBS are so much more aware of the workings of their gut than people who don’t suffer. Even people who have only relatively minor symptoms are generally super sensitive to minor abdominal sensations and changes in sensations. Those who have stronger symptoms plan their whole day around their symptoms. The symptoms dictate whether, where and when they are able to go out. Detailed plans concerning finding out where available toilets are can be found on every journey,

      Are there benefits to having awareness days or months?
      Awareness days can encourage blogs such as this one which give information both for the sufferer and to others. They can start conversations which can lead to better understanding of the difficulties involved in a problem and possibly increase empathy towards those who have it. At best they can raise cash for charities such as cancer care, dementia care or research. At worst, nobody will take any notice but if there is a chance of helping those in need in any way I say ‘bring them on’!

      So what is IBS then?
      IBS is an umbrella term that covers a number of different digestive problems Although people who have IBS vary tremendously in which particular symptoms they suffer there are some that are pretty common to all. It can be very frustrating to live with and can have an enormous impact on everyday life. It is usually diagnosed after extensive testing eliminates other causes.
      Common symptoms:

      Stomach pain or cramps – usually worse after eating and better after doing a pooh
      Bloating – the tummy may feel uncomfortably full and swollen, so much so that on occasion someone can look several months pregnant!
      Flatulence (farting)
      Diarrhoea / diarrhea (according to your home country spelling!). with very liquid pooh and often accompanied by the need to pooh suddenly and urgently
      A very opposite symptom is constipation plus strain when poohing together with a feeling that bowels haven’t been properly emptied
      Sometimes symptoms can last for days, weeks or months at a time. And sometimes they are there all the time
      The exact cause is unknown – it’s been linked to things like food passing through your gut too quickly or too slowly, oversensitive nerves in your gut, stress, and a family history of digestive problems
      Diet can play a part in reducing symptoms
      It’s useful to keep a diary of everything you eat in order to understand what triggers symptoms

      Good to eat homemade or fresh food but often go easy on vegetables and fruit. Can make things worse!
      Limit unhealthy processed foods
      Limit alcohol, caffeine and carbonated drinks
      Eat relatively slowly as encourages good chewing and it limits air swallowed
      Don’t have too much delay between meals
      Probiotics help some but not all people
      Is there a cure?
      Unfortunately generally it is described as a lifelong problem, which can be caused by a number of different factors.

      Doctors say that there’s no definitive cure, but diet changes and medicines can help control the symptoms in many cases.

      There seems no doubt that stress or other psychological or emotional factors can exacerbate things so in cases where diet change and medication are unhelpful doctors will recommend some kind of psychological intervention and CBT and Hypnotherapy are often recommended. Hypnotherapy has been found very helpful particularly in cases where symptoms seem to have been resistant to other forms of treatment and even NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) have recommended it in their guidelines for these cases!

      Professor Whorwell, expert in the field of IBS, from the School of Medicine and Director of the South Manchester Functional Bowel Service, has been investigating IBS treatment for over 20 years

      “IBS is ideal for treatment with hypnosis, as there is no structural damage to the body,” Professor Whorwell explained. “During the hypnotherapy, sufferers learn how to influence and gain control of their gut function, and then seem to be able to change the way the brain modulates their gut activity. The treatment has a success rate of about 70%, and Professor Whorwell believes that hypnotherapy, although it’s labour-intensive, could be an extremely effective treatment for the condition

      Hypnotherapy not frequently used within the NHS
      When Professor Whorwell set up his hypnotherapy clinics to help IBS sufferers within a hospital setting he saw a success rate of around 70% which was probably rather higher than that found in diet change and medication, and the positive results of hypnotherapy were longer lasting. But the NHS became rather unwilling for the most part in funding the original twelve weekly sessions as it was somewhat labour intensive and, to be blunt, giving medication was quicker and cheaper. So most sufferers choose to have help through private hypnotherapy practice.

      I myself regularly see people for IBS problems in my own hypnotherapy practice and have been referred many patients by forward thinking gastroenterologists. And generally I have found that my patients need far fewer than twelve visits. I think this is due in part because my patients not only receive one-to-one treatment but I make them tailor made CDs / MP3s for support at home. Regular listening to these relaxing, stress-reducing audios gives on-going support and teaches them relaxation skills and ways to slow down over-stimulated responses of the bowel. Generally this reduces the need for more than about three or four face-to face sessions and indeed sometimes fewer in more mild cases.

      How hypnosis can help you in stop smoking? (Edited)

      It’s not all about addiction!
      In fact some so-called ‘experts’ claim that nicotine isn’t really addictive and that it’s more about the habits and rituals around smoking that keeps us doing it. I believe these habits and rituals are an important factor but to deny that nicotine is addictive seems to fly in the face of the effects of the drug.

      Yes, I believe it is addictive!
      In my view it is both physically addictive and also psychologically addictive and often it is the psychological addiction which people find more difficult to cope with. It’s actually very interesting how many people tell me that when they are on a long haul flight they can cope with not smoking comparatively easily because they just know they can’t do it and that’s that! And the fact that so many people have quit smoking in recent years shows that it can be done one way or another.

      As a hypnotherapist with a busy practice in South East London…
      barely a week goes by without my seeing a client who wants my help to stop smoking. I’ve lost count of the different reasons I hear for continuing a habit that they know is life-threatening, anti-social and outrageously expensive.

      It relieves the boredom!
      Weirdly, people tell me that they smoke because they are bored – strange how taking a cigarette out of a pack, lighting it and drawing in the poison can be thought of as interesting! Addictive, dirty, smelly, lethal … yes, but interesting? Well, hardly!

      It’s relaxing … Really?!
      The nicotine in cigarettes stimulates the body to produce adrenaline, which makes the heart beat faster and raises our blood pressure, making our heart work harder. Can that really be relaxing?

      It’s calming.
      I think the truth is here that it often provides a reason for a break from stressful situations. You can go out for a cigarette break and get away from your desk or your stressful phone calls for a few minutes and it is the break itself, NOT the cigarette, which is relaxing. Well, it’s fine in the summer of course but not so good in the cold and rain!

      And then there are the excuses for putting off quitting
      ‘I’ll quit when I’m thirty’ which extends to forty and fifty and sixty! And then it often turns into ‘well I’ve left it too late now … the harm’s already been done so there doesn’t seem much point in stopping now’

      Life threatening? Well, you’ve got to die of something haven’t you!
      This is true of course but lung cancer and COPD for example are pretty awful ways to go as anyone knows if they’ve ever nursed a relative with it.

      I don’t want to come across as ‘holier than thou’ because I‘ve been there myself!
      I do know how it feels. At first when I stopped smoking I found it hardest at times of stress. And I confess to the ‘oh, one won’t hurt me’ train of thought but I haven’t smoked for years and years now and it just wouldn’t occur to me to think of smoking even if I were in the most stressful of situations. It’s just not a part of me… it’s not what I do and that’s a great place to be in!

      Some people stop for a year or so and then an emotional association triggers them to start again
      They think they’ve cracked it, they’ve been absolutely fine and they’re out for a drink with the old crowd and they are lured into thinking that they’re missing out in some way. They’ll just have the one and that won’t hurt will it?! And then they’ve put their foot on the slippery slope and within a week or two they are back to where they started!

      Unfortunately, as I found out, it’s usually more difficult to stop the next time as there are feelings of frustration, disappointment and self-blame that are difficult to deal with.

      I know a young woman who came back from the cemetery after burying her father, and the first thing she did was to light up a cigarette after not having smoked for a year. What had he died of? He’d been an incredibly heavy smoker and had died of lung cancer, which had spread throughout his whole body. Clearly she knew better than anyone all about the dangers but something inside drove her to do it. It certainly wasn’t logical or sensible. I imagine it was something emotional … perhaps a connection to her Dad, doing what he used to do or reaching for an old habit that was linked to a feeling of potential comfort, or being part of the crowd, part of the group, a feeling of togetherness. She told me that it was partly ‘the little devil in her that just pushed her into it’

      I had a row with my other half and I just reached for one to calm me down
      “My husband left me”, “I broke up with my girlfriend”, “I lost my job” all sound like understandable reasons to start smoking all over again but of course now they have TWO problems to deal with… they’ve still lost the husband or the girlfriend and they’ve got the smoking problem back as well.

      So, sense and logic doesn’t seem to be a key factor in choosing to smoke in the first place so probably not the most potent motivation for choosing to quit!
      In my view it has as much to do and probably far more to do with emotions, unconscious drivers and beliefs rather than conscious decisions.

      What sort of beliefs can keep us doing it?
      Some people still think it’s cool to smoke or they believed it at the time they started smoking and a part of them hasn’t yet let go of that belief at the unconscious level. Others associate smoking and drinking with feeling more confident, seeming more care free and fun loving (and indeed there are some claims that alcohol mixed with nicotine increases the physical high in the brain!) Some feel they can’t cope without a crutch to lean on … when they don’t know what to do, they have a cigarette!

      Some people really don’t like being told what to do or what not to do … they want to be a bit of a rebel. Some people have a deep-seated need to be part of a social group, taking on the values and habits of that group in order to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.

      Habit and rituals
      This ‘sense of social belonging’ can be enhanced by the shared rituals the always having the packet with them, the preferred brands, the lighters, the sharing of cigarettes. The physical rolling of cigarettes too seems to enhance the pleasure of smoking whether just nicotine or joints. We are creatures of habit and habits become part of what we do and we tend to think of them as being a part of us.

      Hypnosis can make it easier to quit
      In my view, of course you can quit smoking on your own but I believe hypnosis makes it easier as it can help you deal with both the physical and psychological aspects.

      So in a hypnosis session with me, it’s about helping people feel smoking is no longer a part of them.
      In hypnosis you can achieve an intense focus and clarity on what you want to achieve and become very creative in your thinking. You become more receptive to suggestion and seem to find change so much easier. I encourage you to move away from the part of you that used to want to smoke and I give you suggestions for feeling positive, confident and believing that you are able to cope with stressful situations without the need for a crutch.

      It’s about helping you detach from the emotional connection to the smoking habit and detach from the beliefs that have kept you there in the past. So you end up feeling that you’ve grown away from smoking and are very pleased that it is just not part of you or your world anymore. The positive emotional connection you have now is with the pleasure of being a non-smoker.

      7 Tips To Boost Your Child Self-Esteem (Edited)

      There are lots of advantages to a child having a healthy level of self-esteem, not only now in the moment but also as they grow up.

      They are generally happier and more confident in themselves. And several studies have shown that they are less dependent on continual approval from others and are more resilient in the face of negative peer pressure. Possibly more important these days than ever before in a world where social media can be so cruel!

      Of course they may still be upset by disappointments but they are less likely to be devastated by them or to sink into depression either as a young person or an adult.

      1. Let them know you love them
      Tell them and show them in whichever ways are suitable for them Not all kids like being hugged but most children value the time you spend with them and they like to know they are appreciated.

      2. Listen to them
      Listening to your child is one of the most important things you can do to make them feel loved and appreciated. Engage them in conversation over things they like and actively listen to what they say.

      3. Teach them that they don’t need to be perfect to be loved
      Give praise for effort as well as for results. Teach them not to be afraid of mistakes … If they make mistakes give constructive feedback.

      Encourage them to learn from mistakes eg ‘OK, so it didn’t work out very well this time … what do you think you could do a bit differently when you do it another time?’

      4. Encourage them to become involved in doing something to help other people. You could do things together
      . Doing a sponsored walk or run to raise money for children who need help
      . Doing a favour for somebody without expecting anything in return
      . Befriending someone who doesn’t have many or any friends

      5. Give genuine compliments not just automatic praise
      If they show you a drawing or something they’ve made, instead of just saying ‘Awesome’ or ‘Fantastic’, take the time to really look at it and ask them questions about it. ‘What gave you the idea of it? Did you just think of it yourself or did something special inspire you to do it?’ ‘What made you choose that colour?’

      6. Don’t criticise or make fun of them all the time, particularly not in front of other people
      If you need to tell them off, remember to criticise their behaviour not them as a person. And don’t compare them negatively with a sibling eg ‘why can’t you be more like your sister?’

      7. For the child who is less academically able or less sporty
      Encourage them to become knowledgeable about a topic that isn’t generally well known. It gives them a chance to shine. Or help them develop a completely different kind of skill.
