Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy

Definition

Gut-directed hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes hypnosis and relaxation techniques to target the gut-brain connection, aiming to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall functioning of the gastrointestinal system. It is often used as a complementary treatment for functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia.
