Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Researchers believe that there might be a communication breakdown between the brain and the gut that can affect how food moves through the intestines and thus trigger Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Studies have shown that short-term symptom-focused intervention using hypnotherapy is highly effective in reducing, managing and sometimes eliminating irritable bowel symptoms. In fact, a group of gastrointestinal specialists from Manchester, England use hypnosis extensively with their IBS patients.

Nashville hypnotherapist Deborah Vaughn has had specialized training in hypnosis treatment for gastrointestinal disorders from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with Dr. Olafur S. Palsson, a leading expert in this field.  Deborah has had success using hypnosis in treating many of her clients who suffer from irritable bowel symptoms.
