Natural remedies with Hypnotherapy

Brief Review: Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for Crohn’s Disease

(Based on a 2023 randomised controlled pilot study by Taryn Lores and colleagues)

Researchers explored whether gut-directed hypnotherapy delivered online could help people living with Crohn’s disease when used alongside normal medical treatment.

What was the purpose of the study?

This was a pilot and feasibility trial, meaning the researchers were not trying to prove hypnosis “cures” Crohn’s disease yet. Instead, they wanted to find out:

• Can hypnotherapy be successfully delivered virtually?
• Will patients actually complete the sessions?
• Do people find it helpful and acceptable?
• Is a larger clinical trial worth doing?

How the study worked
• Adults with Crohn’s disease were randomly placed into two groups:
• Standard medical care only
• Standard care + 7 weeks of virtual gut-directed hypnotherapy
• Participants were followed over time:
• Before treatment
• After treatment
• 3, 6, and 12 months later

Researchers looked at both:
• Disease activity
• Patient experiences and wellbeing

What they found:
The results were encouraging — especially for a first-stage study.

✅ High participation and completion
• 88% completed all hypnosis sessions
• 95% stayed in the study until the end of treatment
• 76% were still involved after 12 months

✅ Strong satisfaction
• About 73% of participants reported being extremely satisfied with hypnotherapy.

✅ Virtual(Online) delivery worked
• Even though many participants had technical issues, most still engaged fully.

✅ Feasible for future research
• Online assessments worked very well.
• Recruitment and medical data collection were harder — something researchers plan to improve in future trials.

What this means for people with Crohn’s disease

This study suggests that:
• Gut-directed hypnotherapy is acceptable and well-received by people with Crohn’s disease.
• It can be delivered effectively online.
• It can be a valuable adjunct therapy, meaning it works alongside medical treatment.

The study was not large enough to definitively prove medical outcomes yet, but it strongly supports moving toward larger trials.

Why hypnosis can help

Crohn’s disease is influenced not only by inflammation but also by the gut–brain connection. Stress, nervous system activation, and emotional load can affect gut sensitivity and symptom flare-ups.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy aims to:
• Calm nervous system responses
• Reduce gut hypersensitivity
• Improve coping and symptom perception
• Support overall quality of life

Simple takeaway

This research shows that virtual gut-directed hypnotherapy is practical, safe, and highly acceptable to patients, and it is promising enough that larger clinical studies are now justified.

Damage to the Brain Through Drug Use
(adapted from information by The National Institute on Drug Abuse — NIDA)

Whenever we feel good, laughing with a friend, watching a beautiful movie, or even enjoying our favourite ice cream… the brain’s reward system switches on.

This reward system is the part of the brain designed to help us experience pleasure and motivation. It’s made up of specialised nerve cells that release dopamine, a neurotransmitter often called the “feel-good” chemical.

When dopamine is released, we experience enjoyment, connection, and satisfaction. It’s nature’s way of reinforcing healthy experiences that support life and wellbeing.

Most addictive substances — including co***ne, ma*****na, he**in, alcohol, ni****ne, and others — directly affect this same reward system. Instead of a natural release, these drugs trigger an unnaturally large surge of dopamine.

At first, this can feel intensely pleasurable. But over time, the brain begins to change.

Repeated drug use gradually damages the reward system, making it less responsive. As this happens, things that once brought genuine joy, a hug, movement, laughter, food, connection, no longer feel the same.

The brain hasn’t lost the ability to feel… it has simply been overwhelmed.

Research examples, including studies involving short-term ecstasy use (around 10 days), show measurable changes in brain function. And while these studies sometimes use animal models, monkey brains are biologically very similar to human brains — which helps scientists understand what may also occur in people.

Addiction is not a failure of character.
It is a change in the brain — and importantly, the brain also has the capacity to heal.

At That Hypno Place its what we help you achieve heal, feel and thrive into recovery 💕 You do not need to walk alone.

Not because someone told you to — but because part of you has been practising for this moment for years.

Yep - Smoking once gave you something.
Now it takes.

And people naturally stop investing in things that no longer return value.

Quitting isn’t about willpower. It’s about updating a habit that’s outlived its usefulness.

When the mind changes its mind, the body simply follows. And the relief you’re looking for doesn’t come from a cigarette — it comes from finally being finished with the come control.

Becoming a non-smoker isn’t an act of sacrifice.
It’s a quiet decision to stop paying for something you no longer need.
