Mind Over Gut

I’m a psychologist with a special interest in the relationship between the mind and the gut.

I work with people living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), helping them manage symptoms, reduce distress, and feel more in control of their bodies and lives.

Trauma can be caused by any event that stresses us intensely, overwhelms us, and is more than what our coping can take. It could be an acute once off event or a series of events that occur over a prolonged period. Our mind and body are both impacted. Sometimes even though time have elapsed, these impact remains within our mind and body.

For some individuals, their IBS symptoms might trigger some of their trauma responses. Or they might have a previous experience of IBS symptoms that was traumatic that make it hard for them to feel safe with their body.

In psychology sessions, we not only help to cope with IBS symptoms but also address the underlying trauma.

Tip of the Week

Wish all Selamat Hari Raya.

For this week, we share the tip of sharing with others your dietary restrictions if you are offered food that might trigger your symptoms. This can help others understand your condition. You would be surprised that others are more supportive and understanding than you think.

If you prefer not to share your condition for various reasons, another alternative is to say that you have already taken quite a heavy meal or if you really need to, take a small bite of the food that your body can tolerate.

Mind Over Gut Tip for the Week

This week, choose an activity that you do amongst your routine and try to slow down the pace when you are performing it e.g., brushing your teeth, walking from point A to point B.

Slowing down can help us to prevent build up of tensions in our muscles and body as we go about the day. This can help contribute to relaxing our body and mind.

Give this a shot, your gut will greatly appreciate it.

How does CBT Help with IBS?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological intervention that helps to reduce our negative thoughts and stress reactions.

There are certain challenges that IBS may bring to our work.

Sometimes the symptoms may act up and disrupt our work. For some of us, the need for frequent visits to the washroom may be a hassle.

On the other hand, stress at work may trigger IBS symptoms through the gut-brain axis.

Want to know more? We explore this in depth in CBT sessions at Mind Over Gut.

Mind Over Gut Tip of the Week

This week, try:
Reminding yourself about benefits of approaching a fear situation (e.g., eating at a new place where you do not know where the washroom is) to keep yourself going.

Focusing on the potential benefits can help us remain motivated and on track to keep facing feared situations so that we increase activities and reduce the limitations that IBS created in our life.

Try it for a few days — and watch yourself progress!

How does IBS affect our emotions?

IBS symptoms can make us feel that our body is uncontrollable and unreliable and make us feel anxious. Or it might make us feel that because our body is "faulty" we are a failure and our mood become low.

When our mood is affected it generates a negative feedback loop that feedback to trigger the IBS symptoms through the brain-gut axis.

In CBT, we learn ways to manage self criticism to break this loop.

A thought from Henry:

“Look at how far you have come, whenever you feel demoralized and feel there is a long way ahead”

We experience dips in our motivation as we manage living with IBS — and this is where gut-focused CBT can make a difference to help you keep going.
